Angry No More
Up at 5 and on the stadium track by six
So young and wondering why
I believed I must for some strange reason
To run, to leap and to fly
Up at 5 and on the school track by six
High school was the wake up call
Records, trophies, headlines-for what?
Go to college, get a job & raise a family that’s all
Staring into the face of fear, anger and pain
Running until the legs burn and heart ready to burst
I was so angry I did not know what else to do
What was the importance, to be free or to be first
Up at 5 and on track by six
So many lessons learned and feelings laid on the track
I only had to simplify and give it all to Him
He let me experience and knew all along, He had my back
