what I do

what I do is nobody's business
what I do is who I am
what I do is what I want to
and I do not give a damn
what I do is keep my own counsel
think my thoughts
say my words
what I do is tell myself
that someday I will be heard
above the traffic and the noise
beyond my wallet and the bank
with no thought to my background
my class
my name
my rank
I am not just another worker
I have other things to do
I am hope and faith and courage
and so are you
