Redemption

A rebel with a cause
I am the beauty and the beast
The caged bird now made free
Oh I know why she sings
Oh I know why she sings
She sings of liberty
Oh of His grace and mercies
This little bird sings, no worries
No anxieties, no longer
Crippling me
Killing me
Relentlessly
Oh yeah yeah yeah
I know why he sings
With His loving eyes, on the sparrow
Turning the cowardly
Into superheroes!
Yee said they are no longer invisible!
No longer unguardable
No longer humbled!
I sing of immortality!
I’ve died a thousand deaths just to say
Behold the majesty of His glory!
Reborn through hell fire
Every chamber of hades!
Dante ain’t got shit on me!
I travelled many lifetimes, searching for a lifeline
Only desolation my friend
Only darkness my beloved
Only to discover that I AM the beloved
Mocked and accused at every hand
You’re lying, you’re not enough, you’re pitiful
You’re not black enough, white enough, man enough, woman enough…
That’s enough!
I will never be bound again!
I set that little girl free
I see that little boy free
To just be…nor king or queen! I’m me!
Wrestled and toiled, no longer wretched and old
I stand before you a child of the Most High
Made whole…
The depression didn’t overtake me
The schizophrenia didn’t rule over me
Oh I made friendly with all my personalities
No monster under my bed making me weary!
We share stories like campfires and powwows
Invited to ink the INC.
Mike Wikowski finally got his esteem
Sully got his 2319
See? I’m just tryna get you to SEE
That there’s life beyond the trees
Beyond the disease, es…
Your mind a unique garden of YOUR MAKING
LOVING, CREATING…
Vast and never ending glee…
If you only believe, only be…
Redeemed…
