Power To the People

The hurricane's over, we begin to awake We go outside to look around We see trees, leaves, water subsiding And power lines knocked down It has been said, "We have no power, our lights are still out" I hear this as we sit outside, we laugh and talk about Well what you speak is what it will be For the power I have is the power in me My neighbor said, "It seems like forever, they're taking too long They need to do something quick to get our lights back on Four days without power, oh it's so hot For many now have power, yet we still do not" A friend brought me a generator and that was all so good I plugged in the fan and grabbed the cell phones To charge them while I could No power yesterday, no power today, to me that's just not true We all have the power within ourselves to use when going through Don't wait for anyone else, go turn on your own light Make every moment good or bad, make that moment bright Wake up with the lights on, sleep with the lights on Generate your thoughts daily, nonstop, yes stay focused because As long as the lights are on in your mind You can leave any and all darkness behind Do you have the power? Yes you do You have the power to conquer, to know, to survive To trust, to believe, to endure, to pray You have the power within your soul to make it through each day Believe in yourself - You are POWERFUL! (In life we will go through different storms - Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Earthquakes, Wildfires, Snowstorms, Relationships are storms, Financial storms and many others. Just know, you are equipped to weather any and all storms that may come your way. Be mindful of the words you speak and don't ever say, "You don't have power." Always know, can't nobody turn your lights off. The Power is within you and the Light is in you. When everything else around you appears dark, focus on the light in you. So in the midst of ALL circumstances, continue to let your light so shine brightly, weather the storm and know, this too shall pass.)
