I Will Be a Man

I WILL BE A MAN Tough time never last but tough people do LOrd give the guidance to know when to Hold on and when to let go of my madness And the grace to make the right decision With brave heart and dignity as a man Because if it is going to be, its up to me I will be a man of courage I will be a man when the sun Comes scorching on me fiercely I will be a man when the moon Is gone to its abode I will be a man when the rain is gone I have my self to love and care No one cares about my humble self Rather they exploit me and made Me sing horribly in tears I have myself to blame when i fail I will go there where am needed I will scream louder than the eagles Even when the whirlwind keeps tossing and Torturing my guts like an empty can Even when life tosses me from east to west I will move on with Courage If things is going to change, is up to me I am my own sailor in the ship I am my own pilot in life journey I drive my own car day and dusk Everything is fair in war and love war and love make everything fair God fill the lacuna, he that Knows when the little sparrow falls And cloths the lilies of the field Is ever hopeful and watchful Every cloud has a silver lining I will survive, i'll make it thro' Just give me time, i will get over it I will be a man in every situation That is my watchword in the darkness I have myself to blame when the other phase Opens and i leave no trail of goodness. c) jOHN CHIZOBA VINCENT
