I know you haven’t been
Fully in love
No matter what is said
What is seen.
You smile and laugh
You offer your hand to help
But still, still part of you
Doesn’t love, doesn’t feel
Anything.

I can’t help but feel
The strength and power
That is real
Real inside of me
Waiting
Waiting to fill my destiny.
Bow and scrap
To its mighty weight
You will see an escape
Into life meant to be
The best for all
Especially me.
Thank you God
Thank you Lord
For giving me
Power for all I do adore
I can not help but feel
The strength, the power
In this life
I do not rent.

My heart is sad and maybe a little mad
Not at the world but my attitude.
Who made me think I could chose
The way to travel thru this universe?
Not alone
Nor will I ever be
Able to master all this
I see before of me.
Be me humble and resolute
I will accomplish this I wish to
With a power greater
Than all of me.
This my heart must accept
For it will race with joy
As I master this
That has been brought
Before of me.
Thank you God
And the Lord above
Without your help
There would be no love.
