My Eyes Have Seen the Light

My Eyes Have Seen The Light By Nate Spears My eyes have seen the light I’ve been trick, traded, and troubled Separated from my father, divided from my brothers My eyes have seen the light I’ve been drained of my mother’s love Dehumanized before the world Respect lost globally Steady dying love My eyes have seen the light Violence has been manufactured into key Absence of hard work Rendering your rights for less than free Now my eyes are closed My head is bowed In my thoughts I pray for we My eyes have seen the light The King rests in me Passing self respect the next To breath To breed To believe My eyes transcend the light on you.
