Don'T Even Bother

Don’t try to cage me in your box of steel
Don’t you know I have a heart that feels?
Don’t try to control my stride
Don’t you know I am on a spiritual ride?
Don’t try to drown me in your mess
Don’t you know you can’t curse what God has blessed?
Don’t try to hinder the joy that overflows
Don’t you know that I am a tree that needs to grow?
Don’t whisper accusations in the wind
Don’t you know I stop where he begins?
Don’t try to strangle the treasure before it is discovered
Don’t you know everything in the dark will surely be uncovered.
