letra de overboard - tyné angela
(for all of my brothers, the named and the nameless; your voices echo in our hearts and minds. this piece approaches the recent tragedies of police violence and racial profiling, drawing parallels with the innumerable casualties of the transatlantic slave trade.)
[verse 1]
this ship is lost at sea
we the people, trapped in transit
time-traversing refugees
dreams deferred, and then abandoned
has the weight of this great nation
forced your eyes toward the ground
have you bent beneath the burden
of this skin, this shameless brown
[chorus]
you walked alone in search of home
the journey wore you thin
brother, i’ll reach overboard
and pull you safely in
[verse 2]
a generation echoes
from the depths of ocean graves
unnatural disaster
and we wonder who’s to blame
we share this sacred oxygen
we’re all trying to breathe
hands lifted in surrender
to a ruthless, raging sea
[chorus]
[verse 3]
neatly sectioned city blocks
triangles in the sea
this journey is amorphous
changing shape by century
finally the comp-ss found
we trace this chalk, our map
the shape of loss immeasurable
now etched into our path
[chorus]
[verse 4]
these shackles will be silhouettes
the voyage soon will cease
brother, take my hand
and love will guide us through the deep
