Rule The World

Skin of Bronze
Heart of Gold
A million men could never conquer your soul
Flashing Targets Masquerade
That everyone on earth loves how you are made
You Bend But Won’t Break
You have the magic that your grandmama gave
Same torch new flame
No Two Hold it Just the Same
But Don’t you know that you were made
to Rule the World
On your head there is a crown
filled with wonder others may not allow
On your shoulders there will drape
the path to life that thousands 'fore you have paved
They Run. You Fly.
Kings & Queens emerge from your same line
You stand and shine.
A billion stars might light the sky
But you’re the sun when it comes time
to rule the world
Them that’s not their own
Want for more to Live
Them that’s got can’t lose
To Rise is to Win
God bless you child
you are royalty
Black Gold with a Diamond Soul
Time that you see

A dream has died
A vision passed away
Fight wars outside
Some have yet to be waged
Travail exhale
Think of all there's left to give
There's a reason to die what's your reason to live
Like you need water
Where's the want to be free
Run to water
Pull the veil start to see
Darling we might falter
Just hold on to me
There's still wars left to be won
Still justice left undone
Different chains we're running from
Toward water
Ancestral vows
To lay Down your life for peace
Seem pointless now
When blind to our defeat
Run truth sojourn
Till there's nowhere left to run
When you finally tire
It'll be time to come
Back to water
Where's the torch keep the light
Like you need water
Chains look different in this life
Darling we might falter
Just hold on to me
There still wars left to be won
Still justice left undone
Different chains we’re running from
Toward water
Wade in the water
Wade in the water children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
Run to water
Where's the torch keep the light
Run to water
Chains look different in this life
Run to water
Where's the want to be free
Run to water
Don’t forget how to breathe
Darling we might falter
Will you hold on to me?
There's still wars left to be won
If injustice left undone
What happens is up to us….

#WeCantBreathe

Sending out a call to all of those who lead
to use your power now to help others see
that all of God’s children deserve to breathe
We ain’t gonna stop till people are free (2x)
Innocence and Justice is what we fight for
To see a day when we believe black lives mean more
Than the stain on our flag and a war reborn
So We Ain’t Gonna Stop Till People Are Free
We’ll keep on marching till the walls of injustice come down
we’ll keep on fighting with our hands in the air and our voices crying out
we’ll keep on laying arm in arm with our bodies on the ground
until passerby realize we have the right to live and be proud
We ain’t gonna stop till people are free (X)
Ah, We can’t Breathe

You Feel The Same Way

I see you walking down the street
I see that smile is it for me?
Baby can you read my mind?
I wanna tell you what I think
You have this way with words, but you’re in love with every girl
I just want one day to see you’re feeling just like me
All I wanna know is
You feel the same way
All this time I been waiting
You feel the same way
It’s so good to love you
You feel the same way
I’m so glad you feel the way I do
You feel the same way too
I used to drop my bags whenever you walked past
just to see you bend and look my way again
it might be overdone but darling, you’re the one
I want to want me too. I’ll wait forever boo
All I wanna know is
You feel the same way
All this time I been waiting
You feel the same way
It’s so good to love you
You feel the same way
I’m so glad you feel the way I do
You feel the same way too
I’ve felt this way babe for a long time
there’s nothing that feels like having you by my side
So if you want to come around, build me up and hold me down
I’ll be there whenever you do, I know you feel like I do
All I wanna know is
You feel the same way
All this time I been waiting
You feel the same way
It’s so good to love you
You feel the same way
I’m so glad you feel the way I do
You feel the same way too

For Real

One asked me if I wanted this more than anything
this is where I’m meant to be
The Embers in this sound are proof
they start warming up to you; time to embrace my own truth
if every moment I spent asking myself why
The silence invites a reply
For Real
I Just I want to show you
Since I was born these lungs were screaming
with a sound that erupted; breathing wasn’t enough IF
you hear me, singing my own song
It’s because my own tunes, the one that I was meant to use
If every moment I spent singing the world’s song
I’d never know my very own voice could carry on
For Real
I Just I want to show you
There ain’t no way this voice is giving out
There ain’t no way I could live in doubt
My greatest song is the one that carries on
Since I’m alive, it’s in my right until I’m gone
AHH
For Real
I Just I want to show you
