Who Are They

Who said not now
Who said wait
Who gave them permission to say whats right

Who opened the door and has shut it in your face
Who made you hide in the darkness of the night 
Who called you names and made you fight 
Who ripped your heart and thought it was alright

Who gave your thorns instead of roses
Who made you cry and left you behind
Who are they

Who made fun of you ?in front of a crowd Who made you slip and fall Who are they?

Get back up and say no way!

I will take back what God send my way
I will not be fooled by the cruelty of this world My life is not my own it belongs to my Father the One who created me and formed in my mother's womb No longer will I be what was meant for no good

I am  stronger than my yesterday and better than my today

Look back at my testimony and get out of my way
