Sand

And I’ve been feeling this way a certain way for the longest
Defensive, only place my fists away whenever these songs hit
I’ve been down on my luck I’ve been picking me up
Pick at myself, and for that reason I don’t need no one else
My momma taught me to grow up I got my name from my father
Had to reach with my toes up dove head first into the water
I don't look up to no man, don’t like to be looked down on
And I never show hand; I speak right you like to shout wrong
Got Yahweh on my heart, the devil dance on my mind
It keeps me pulled apart, feel I’m not on the right side
I see the path I should go, my feet they think they know better
I’m just another bruised soul, looking for water in deserts

See my reflection
Eye to eye with a giant
In the mirrors depression
On the horizon is Zion
Walk with a stone in my sole
My hope lies on a rock
Coming home in the cold
My thoughts they wrestle with God
Climb this hill with a limp
Well accustomed to struggle
No idea what I did
Never lust after trouble
Hand up salute to the sun, trying to see life different
They say the wars been won, then why I feel so indifferent
I got scars that I carry, too long my shoulders been burdened
I feel their eyes when they’re staring, but my goal makes it worth it
They took my hands and my feet, and then demanded I leap
And leap forward I did, my God answered my needs
