my people
are hated so far and so wide
a stereotype so barren and old
a hate so strong and so cold

we need to break free.
dust rains from the sky
as the heavens open up
to the gypsy kind

you may look down upon me
as we pass on the street
i remember every single
hating face i meet

don't taunt don't torture
but don't leave me alone
for gypsies can love
it is easily shown
just look to the sky
and remember my name
for i'll travel and travel
and end up the same

dark beauty
that wallows round
spun threads of gold
reminds me of stories that i have been told
your hate is a trap
that only you must escape from
it's not me, it's you
thats provoking this hatred


i'm still searching,
still searching
for people who understand
that God gave us music
God gave a us souls
God gave us people
both young and old
so next time you think
about hating my kind
remember to open your eyes
and never be blind.
