It began as a flea for safety
It continued as their road of life
Is their nomadic world really paint and glitter?
Is this endless fight worth their strife?
They left their lands in search of acceptance
And this has yet to be found
Mistrust and misfortune assist them through their days
Throughout their lives true love is rarely found.
They are viewed by the world as the outcasts
The dreams of their children are dust
Their lives as the minority has not just begun
Who are we to force them to trust?
To murder their men is somewhat of a game
His life meant so little to few
But to those of his race who loved him
I ask. Would he have mattered to you?
Change is the answer for this dying race
Ignorance must no longer exceed
In order to save these unfortunate lives
We all must first take heed.
These people aren’t losers in the game of life
They haven’t fallen behind you or I
Their futures are the result of our mistakes
We can no longer live this lie
They deserve fair chances as we rightly know
They deserve their day in the sun
To deny them of this makes the world the enemy
And it assists us in losing before we’ve begun.
Change for the Romany must take place soon
You must open your minds to understand
That their reasons for mistrust and unfriendliness are because of you
I know in my heart that you can.
Never forsake what you know is for real
Never deny what is right
Because like us they deserve to succeed
They deserve the chance to fly.
