Inward I go

Looking into the prism of my mind reflecting
On all that I’ve been neglecting
All the while rejecting
Whatever I’ve been expecting

Preparing to return strong
Because I must finish this song
Fate has waited far too long
To carry me where I belong

Traveling through the depths of my history
Trying to reveal what is hidden to me
A journey into my psychology
To facilitate my destiny

Doing it all for love’s sake
Love is my destination, make no mistake
This urge to love I can not shake
For love I’ll do whatever it takes

Enough Times

Enough times you don’t see me as I am
Because you seek to see me as you would have me be
But I am not here to satisfy you
I am not here to please you
My duty lies in being free
My duty lies in being me

Enough times you don’t see my beauty
Because I don’t suit your beautiful ideas
But your ideas of beauty are limited
They stagnate true beauty
My beauty lies within me
My beauty lies in eternity

Enough times you don’t see me at all
Because you’re too busy looking at illusions
But your illusions are not lasting
They will fade when the rain comes
My reality lies in truth
My reality lies not at all

Love of My Life

In the cradle of Your bosom
Is where I long to stay
There is where I blossom
Like a rose at the dawn of day

I can’t imagine greater bliss
Than I feel in Your embrace
Life would be amiss
If I couldn’t see Your face

I know You are my beacon,
Guiding me back home
Never again will I weaken
Never shall I roam

The favor You have shown me
Has enabled me to fly
And You will forever own me
My Lord, Jah Rastafari

I Found a Place

I found a place where I can be peaceful
Where there is joy and love
Here there are no worries
There are no judgments to be found
I could stay there forever, if allowed
Each moment feels like forever anyway
I found a place where there is serenity
My thoughts stop racing
Though my heart threatens to take over
This place is filled with a warm light
And it penetrates my soul
Its energy builds and fortifies me
Strengthening me for when I must go
And I must go, eventually
Though I may leave this place
It will stay with me always
Yes, I found a place of comfort
I have found a place of joy
A place where nothing matters
This place was your arms

Borrowed Time

Four hundred years later, and I’m still plowin your fields
Building up your fortune, when I know it’s mine you steal
You say you gave me my civil rights
But I see nothing civil about how you fight
So I’ll keep my armor on and my sword unsheathed
And I’ll come out from under the foot I’m beneath
Victory will be won on this earth, please believe
My inheritance will be returned from the lying thieves
The spoils of war are not made of gold
Or of anything that can be bought or sold
I was born free and so I shall remain
Your shackles do not fit me, I can’t be bound by chains
Go ahead and be fooled by your false security
The days are numbered for such surety
Goliath you're livin on borrowed timeYour destiny is the dust for all your crimes
