Make Me Strong
Tears are falling like Victoria fall
soul is deafening to comfort's call
no man cries out loudest unless
he has been beaten beyond compromise by distress.
Lips dancing to the rhythm of shame
exposed to salty tears , who is to blame
no man chooses Salt upon his palate unless
his money cannot afford happiness cause its priceless.
Trapped in idleness like a little canary
finding solace in loneliness for a whole century
no man would want to be left in pain of self silence unless
freedom is free as the sting of buzzing bees.
Gracious God hear my prayer
for am weak, feeble and tender
come strengthen and make me strong
gracious God please hear my prayer.
