I lost my words
In a trial
A tribulation
No one could help me find them
I searched long and hard
Retracing my steps
Of places I had been
One day as I sat
No comfort I could find
I started to think of the goodness of  God
And songs of praise filled my mind
Listening from within
I found my words
When I began to sing

I am a single mother
Can you feel my pain
I wear too many hats
Too much stress on my brain
Can someone take this burden of my back
I strive to make it but sometimes I lack
Society leaves me
Forgotten
Through the system I go
Making me feel inferior
Bringing my spirits low
Man cannot help me
So on my knees I fall
Through my pain and weaknesses
God will restore all
In him I find hope
For today and tomorrow
He wiped my tears
Eased my fears
And took away my sorrow

I can be free
Even though
I'm bound
And chained
To my misery
I can be free
When I see the birds
Flying high
The trees and the grass grow
I can be free
When I feel the cool breeze
And the blue sky
I can be free
If I chose to be

Fine lines, faces, shapes and highways
People wanting something
Jets in the sky
A kite flying high
Lines are everywhere they can't be avoided
So are the trials of life
And the cries of babies
Face the test my child
Don't run away
It's learning time
Growing time
Don't quit
Just learn to be patient and wait
Good times will come
A better day you will see
If you don't faint
But take courage
And wait on Me

Brothers and a cousin
They are to each other
And to me
The two T's, O and a V
The system trapped them
Two got loose O and V
The brothers, two T's
Have yet to get free
My heart sinks
When I think of the tragedy
If I could have
I would have
Stepped in to defend
But I was powerless
Father I cry out to you
Please I ask of you
Do what I cannot do
Deliver the two T's
Keep the O and the V
And remember the V
That you preserved
To led the two T's
The O and the V
Back to you

Fall away my friend
Enter thy den
Sleep til morning comes
I'll be back again
See you when the sun rises
We'll walk and admire
The Most High's creation
Throw stones in the stream
Pick flowers and dream
Come along friend
The night draws nigh
We must part ways
But I'll see you in the morning
When the sky has light again

Feelings
Deep
Hollow
Feelings
Churning
In my soul
Conscious
Decision
To be whole
Swallowed up
By PRIDE
Defeated
My crime
Concerned
About
What
Others
Think
Of me
I'm Lost
Forever
Eternally
