The Fraud (for D. Jq.)

And now when I say a word of kindness to someone

Am I a fraud

For I was unkind to you

And now when I speak of freedom for the enslaved

Am I a fraud

For I trapped you and left you in fear

How can I ever touch the face of a child

And feel tenderness in my heart

Knowing I stole something precious from you my sweet one

I'm a fraud

I'm a fraud

Yes now I'm a fraud

And I pay the price.

I must face the police.

And now when I speak to my mother and brother

Will they know that I'm a common thief.

I've always been a keen actor

When I've been down and out

Keeping my chin up and my step in place

but now when I say a word of kindness to someone

I am afraid that I am a fraud

I can not play this part well

Shame is on my face and in my voice

He's a a fraud they will say

He is so unkind

Everyone can see through me now.
