We look back to the ancient past
And castigate the white skin
The shackles of the days before today
Still ring the bell of oppression
We call them the masters
And Inflictors of the flesh
While the gate is yet closed
A new gate opens
A broad way to the mind
With a brown shallow exit
Where the black skin rules
With selfish tools
In the land of the cow and the bee
Where the people lie in wait for hope
And voices seek to be heard
Corrupt hands steal destinies
While accountability fades away
These chains of societal slavery
Are Battles yet unwon

I have no words for the evil one
I have my God to praise
My strength and leisure his name to proclaim
His love to share abroad
Ten thousand times  and one million more
My constant song to sing
The Lord my God, my Lord Jesus
Thy praise forever more

Even in my low estate
Emmanuel, I will sing
Fearing God and keeping his word
The ecclesiastical charge
In the morn and day and hours of the eve
Adoration words I'll pour
Pure letters from my heart
To the most high God above

I stand at the ocean gate, submersed
Searching for my beloved
Fighting the waves and sharks
And the dreaded hearts of yesterday
My fear remains
That I will be lost in the ocean
And found by tomorrow's titans

I am not here to ask
Lord why me?
I have come to hear what's in it for me
I will not question your works
For my ways are not your ways
I'll always believe that simply trusting you is all I have to do

Times and seasons are yours
You made the day and night
All I know is that you want the best for me
Through it all I will succeed
I am victorious

you embrace me under your monstera
and turn your back under the oak
while I stand agaze in the wild
I search not for the love I'll never have
I look within my inner self
and find the love I need
