Grief, oh grief, you heavy weight,
A burden that no one can debate.
You come uninvited, unannounced,
And leave us feeling so deeply pounced.
...
Yeah, here I go, diving deep within
If I chased the horizon
Would I find my peace?
...
The taste of joy, so crystal clear,
It's the feeling of a soaring soul,
An escape from chains that take their toll.
...
For a long time, I held bitterness in my heart,
A grudge that tore my soul apart,
I couldn't let go of the pain,
And anger was all that remained.
...
I am sorry for the pain I've caused
For the wounds that still haven't paused
The hurtful words that I have said
The tears that you have shed
...
When I first saw you, my heart skipped a beat,
A feeling so strong, it felt like a feat.
The way you smiled, the way you laughed,
I knew right away, I had to have you in my life.
...
Not a crown,
not a verdict,
not a measure carved into bone—
but a day that asks the world
...
In the land of sun and sand,
Where the world burns hot and bright,
Stands a man with skin of onyx,
A black man, a noble sight.
...
Amidst the woods and fields so green,
Nature's beauty can be seen.
From the chirping birds in the trees,
To the buzzing bees and gentle breeze.
...
In the darkness of night,
With only stars for light,
I wander through the trees,
Whispering secrets on the breeze.
