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
