Modern-Day

A wicked heart blinds the eyes and steals the soul's redemptive growth A corrupted mind is never forgiving and hates a tender smile But because there is an abundance of joy built in strength I see my fellowmen as humanitarians and as friends I am the modern-day Bob Marley chanting my redemption song I am today's preacher giving thanksgiving and praise I march like Martin Luther for I have a dream I sing like the angles in a humble refrain Unity solidifies the heart Eternal love prides the eyes A rolling dice have many outcomes Chose the possibilities of your successes So I dance like Fred Astaire as I glide through out life I will box like Mohammed Ali and sting like a bee I want to be the modern-day sunshine casting my light upon the world Just a natural woman roaming and visualizing my plan There are so many things to be thankful for There are so many good silenced by loud noise Like Whitney Houston I have nothing without you At the end of the day I will always love and treasure my miracle.
