Lately
Embracing Change: A Reflection on Society's Laughter
Lyrics
Lately when I speak out
Feeling lately that when I express myself
They laugh and take me in
Encountering laughter and not being taken seriously
They send me off to places
Being sent to unfamiliar places metaphorically
They have never been
Others avoiding experiences they haven't faced
They were in the same place yesterday
Observing others stagnant in the same situation as before
Talking about the people they're not
Hearing them discuss people they aren't
The things they want
Talking about desires they don't pursue
We aren't like them
Emphasizing our difference from them
We aren't like them
Reiterating that we are distinct from them
lately when I speak out
Recently, when I express myself
It's just to my friends
Limiting my expression to my close friends
There isn't hope for us
Feeling a lack of optimism for our future
If you we don't let others in
Emphasizing the importance of including others
I was in the same place yesterday hoping for
Being in a similar situation as before, desiring change
People to be the changes they see
Hoping for people to embody the changes they advocate
We aren't like them
Reiterating our dissimilarity from them
We aren't like them
Affirming our uniqueness compared to them
