Preordained
Let me be, Let me be me and Let me be at peace.
Since I am the epitome of what he intended for me to be.
Since my skin is a light ebony just like he planned for it to be.
Since my eyes shine like the night, like he already knew they might.
Because he knew all of this at the beginning of time- what would be created for me and what would be mine.
He knew the trials that I would conquer and the things that I would excel in.
Because it was predestined.
And all of my destinations predesignated,
So far before I was created, that his power is incomprehensible.
And what I am now undeniable
& Everything I am to become
He already knows because he is the one
who held me in the palm of his hand.
It is God who, at his command
made me what I am today.
So Let me be, Let me be me and Let me be at peace.
