Listen
We are all one of God’s creatures
Although we have different shapes and different features
And some of us are rich and some are poor
But none of that means anything, when it’s time to walk
through his door
Some of us have our sight and some of us are blind
But I bet you didn’t know that God only has one line
And I know he has created so many beautiful things
I consider myself one of them, a strong Black African Queen
Although some of us are selfish, majority of us do have a good heart
And some of us are stingy, and their money they didn’t want to part
Although I don’t believe that you don’t understand
That everything we own, is because of one man
Yeah, you worked hard to get the things you have
But you can’t take them with you, there’s no room up the path
And I know that he is watching everything that we do and say
I’m just thankful to wake up and see another day
