Safely Endangered 
2006, Gibson Chase-Pinkney

(Verse 1)
Windows full of broken glass
To find the other side
Eating waving chocolate grass
Delicious cyanide.

(Verse 2)
The walls are sharp the floors are slick
The sky a lurid red.
The air filled with a noise so thick
It's pounding at your head

(Counter-Verse 1)
When up is down and black is white
Night is day and wrong is right
Join the dance your friends are near
Don't be shy, you're almost here

(Verse 4)
You ask the man who is your guide
Oh where might we be heading
He laughs and pushes you aside
and Forward he keeps treading

(Verse 5)
If you know where you wish to go
You'll be doomed to misdirection,
But by moving with the wind that blows
You'll move with no objections

(Counter-Verse 2)
The toys you trust the things you know
Come on down and join the show
You see the dance now don't be shy
If you heard the voice you must reply

(Verse 6)
You finally come upon the place
You wished for all along
No one really won the race
Our woe we just prolong

(Verse 7)
You're covered in a web that binds
You motionless to the ground
You try to open your mouth and cry
But cannot make a sound

(Counter-Verse 3)
Come home, Come home, We miss you here
We can hide you from everything you fear
The way is clean, follow the toys
Hide with the other girls and boys
