I Am Secure - Pete Townshend

My room looks out to the wide open spaces

My heart is touched by awakening faces

I see the panic of people in motion

I can stand here, look out on an ocean.

I am a wall awaiting a catchword.

I see the city laid out like a patchwork.

Alone I am free from hatred and blindness

I hope that this life is frozen and timeless.

My man is here, we grow old by inches.

Tomorrow I’ll walk among heroes and princes.

I feed the boys, I hear secrets whispered.

I know the hearts that are battered and blistered.

I am secure

In this world of apartheid.

This is my cell, but it’s connected to star — light
