The Day
Know your heart, know your soul
Hold on to the dreams that will make you whole
The criss and cross, the music and the lark
Watch out for the bogyman hiding in the dark
My spirit is locked with thee and the
The birds are happy with me
And the universe is dancing with me
I have lived a thousand years and I have nothing to fear
I have metamorphosed more than a million times
with hope locked in my pockets and faith decorated on my finger tips
Passion is still flying high in the sky and my spirit is searching for
higher meaning, that will add more substance to the higher calling
I have been sittings in this park for more than a year
taking the hits and blows bad words and assault as
the morning starts, they dragged me on the ground
and tossed me about they smashed my computers
and when they could not win, they hit me in my head with a board
hoping that I would drop dead but destiny had everything mapped
out for me. They mocked and laughed at me but I
stood up on my feet and bore the pain and continue working the same
Know your heart and listen carefully to its beat
And sample an appetizer that will raise your consciousness
California wine serving at dinner on time and the Peachtree
at the mountain gate add more nutrition to the fruit cake
And provide more tea and coffee in the pantries and
Add more food on the dinner table
I have stood up to giants and bad men and I have broken
The lions neck that keep chasing me around the den
I have worked day and night and have made much painful sacrifice
to get business done so that everyone can have some fun
And when the sky is clear I make a cross and hold strong
to my conviction and hold my grounds
And so it was that destiny handed me the crown, the throne
the hammer and the gown.
