I'M Only Here a While- -

I'm only here a while; I am only here for a little while; A little while... I'm just a soul, traveling through space and time; But now I must vacation here; My resident is on this here ole world; Must be constraint and must relate to the earth; I'm only here a while; My spirit runs free with in me; My soul shouts as my physical-self taunts; Lord, have mercy on me; I'm only here a while Pasting through, through the by and by; birth a baby, then a child; Turned to woman or a man; I'm all about Gods enormous plans; This so He envision, He stands... I must come by here, first to begin my journey; I must remain here, till I'm full and no longer hungry; But now I must vacation here My residents is this ole world; Must be constraint and must relate to this old earth; I'm only here a while; I'm only here a while; Pasting through, though by and by, now; I am only here a while I'm only here a while; I am only here for a little while; A little while... I'm just a soul, traveling through space and time; But now I must vacation here; My resident is on this here ole world; Must be constraint and must relate to the earth; I'm only here a while; My spirit runs free with in me; My soul shouts as my physical-self taunts; Lord, have mercy on me; I'm only here a while; 2/5/10 written words by James Edward Lee Sr. arranged music by Innocent Nikiema 2010, 2019©
