SING A SONG OF SAFETY
Be secret they say, be silent they say
Be quiet and crafty and coy
Stay in the basement and hide away
In fear of the neighbors and of light of day!
Never come out and never speak up
Safety in shadows and hiding!
But if magic is power then why would you hide?
And what help is silence from those who are wise?
For wisdom unspoken is wisdom unknown
And who shivers in shadows shivers alone!
Be loud, I say, and stand up for yourself!
Safety's in numbers and courage!
For who's secret in life will be secret in death
And who even knows when they're taken?
No one will step forward for one who's unknown
And the secret martyr's forsaken!
But they who are known go not quietly
And they who have friends will have help!
