William Scott: Music
Invisible Man
(William Scott)
This song was written to make the unseen visible and to create dialogue about the continuing dehumanization of black men and the condemning hypocricy that exsists within the chuch and society as a whole in regards to homosexuality.
Invisible Man
Chorus
Step (right up) and you’ll hear a tale (la la la )
About a man who is never seen by (your society)
Step (right up) I’ll create a scene (la la la)
About a man who is forced to (hide his sexuality)
1st vs.
His skin is dark but he’s the only one who sees the light
He is so tall but he is short unto the human eye
He works so hard but no he never ask for nothin’ (la la la la la la la la la)
All that he wants is for his life to be worth something
Chorus
Step (right up) and you’ll hear a tale (la la la )
About a man who is never seen by (your society)
Step (right up) I’ll create a scene (la la la)
About a man who is forced to (hide his sexuality)
2nd vs.
Poor little boy they tell him that he is (going to hell).
They’re throwing stones at you cuz all their own windows are broke.
He can’t go home he can’t hold his hand out in the street (la la la la la la la la la)
His people laugh because such lust sparks insecurities
Chorus
Step (right up) and you’ll hear a tale (la la la )
About a man who is never seen by (your society)
Step (right up) I’ll create a scene (la la la)
About a man who is forced to (hide his sexuality)
Bridge
Ladies and gentlemen
Step right up I’ll introduce you to a man
His soul has been baptized in fire, he’s been mutilated man (unhunh)
His image is like that of God but people are deceived (unhunh)
(oooh) The beauty that he holds within (la)
One day he will be seen.
Chorus
Step (right up) and you’ll hear a tale (la la la )
About a man who is never seen by (your society)
Step (right up) I’ll create a scene (la la la)
About a man who is forced to (hide his sexuality) repeat 2x
