"WHO TOLD YOU?"

Who told You , You were evil, and that You did not belong?
Who told You, You were ugly, and not to sing Your song?
Who trained You to believe that You could NOT rely on You?
Who trained You to believe these things.....??
And are they really true?

Who told You, You were born in sin and had to make amends?
That Your nature was just evil, with all that it portends
Who told You, You were so messed up You'd need to pay a "Pro"
To evaluate Your problems and tell You how to grow?
Who trained You to believe these things.....??
And do They really know???

Could "They", Would "They", Should "They"? Perpetrate this lie?
Sending "US" to fight "Their" battles?" where so many soon will die????
Why do "They" think They're better, than You, or Him, or Me???
Issuing immoral orders that suppress Humanity?

Who claims that "They" were born to rule "US" here upon the Earth
Bloodlines, papers, badges, medals, will all confirm Their "worth"
As "They" smile so benignly with the slightest touch of mirth...
Proclaiming very loudly, "WE" are here by "Divine Birth"...
Who trained You to believe these things
Squeezing US adds to Their girth

Who told You, You were so messed up you'd never find a Love?
Who would cherish You with tenderness and place You up above
The lies of inequality that painted that black space...
Of denying Your uniqueness and admiring Your Face
Who trained You to believe these things
And fall so far from Grace????

Who told You, You would have to wait and earn Your way through life?
Who told You, You would have to scrape and bow and endure strife
While sitting in Their castles with their slaves to kiss the ring
While You're beaten to submission for "approval" by the "King"
Who trained You to believe these things
And that You had no wings???

Could "They", Would "They", Should "They"? Perpetrate this lie?
Sending "US" to fight "Their" battles?" where so many will soon die????
Why do "They" think they're better, than you or him or me???
Issuing immoral orders that suppress Humanity?

Who told US WE would have to live Our Lives to please the few?
Who told US WE would need to understand that this was true?
Who told US they knew better, for God gave Them "The Book"
If what WE sought was Paradise, to "Their " laws WE must look
Who trained US to believe these things
While all Our wealth they took???

Who told US we were never meant to live upon the Earth
That this was just a testing ground determining Our worth
And that They just knew better, while they poisoned our mind
Who taught us to believe the very worst about Mankind??
Who trained US to believe these things
Hoping Truth WE would not find

Could "They", Would "They", Should "They"? Perpetrate this lie?
Sending "US" to fight "Their" battles?" where so many soon will die????
Why do "They" think they're better, than you or him or me???
Issuing immoral orders that suppress Humanity?

Obeying these same orders will never set US free....
Who trained and told US that this was the only way to be????
Who trained and told US that this was the only way to be???
