My eyes light up as stars
They sparkle with joy
The flame in my heart rages
And can’t be subdued
Lightning pauses my thoughts
All I feel is you
Electricity pulses my veins
Yet I feel a peace
Warmth envelops my body
You comfort my soul
My being leaps as if boiled
But such a sensation is pleasant
Blinded by your presence
Though the truth it reveals
A flash of inspiration
Momentary yet everlasting
Burning within me is passion
Combined with a desire for more
I want to know my savior
The God who saved my soul
In my distress I rely on You
Spread this fire through the land
Father a desire for your love
A simple prayer and tiny expression
Please use me as you will
I shall never wander Lord
Though at times lost I may seem
I’ll run to your light for guidance
And know nothing’s as bad as it seems
Things I think I understand/Concepts but not their application/The division within one nation/America’s on edge and hate’s the reason/Chemical imbalance, cultural disunity/Living day to day proudly/Not doubting my right to be/Everything I am because my people are “free”/Sentence still being served by defendants not guilty/Content with status? No/Wanting peace and a change from the status quo/hope for the simplest objective/Respect!/Give me what’s mine/Keep your opinion to yourself/Still separate and fighting/Memories of Confederates daunting/Thinking of the present and dreaming of the future…/History won’t repeat itself/Climate won’t let it/A nation still warring within/Making peace with others/Yet mistreating citizens/Openly it was expressed/Now more subtly shown/But we’re a new generation/It will be a new day/Remain faithful/God will deliver us again.
