Sometimes we fail to see the light Maybe today it'll shine bright And maybe today we'll find Some peace of mind Because only God knows How long we've been trying To see some sun shine Through on the things we do And who's to say Today we may see a way through The troubles and strife And even though every day life Throws another roll of the dice We learn to play our hand Even when our cards ain't nice And we don't quit Even when our hardest hit We stick to it Because you can never tell how close you are It may be near When it seems so far Remember Everyone's a shining star With a capable chemistry to achieve Anything they want to If they believe And I know it's real So I take it from here Where I can feel An energy Propelling me Telling me To put it down for you And I will too Because all the things that affect me Indirectly affect you It's true And it's enough to drive you round the bend When you discover another ain't really your friend But still let's get up and try again My friends We can't let the negatives hold us down No way Let's pick our dreams up from off the ground And be not so easily swayed By the troubles and the turmoils of the day That seem to float through the air Instead let's ask ourselves the question Why are we here? And even though an equal amount Simply just don't care Let's be the ones to make a change And turn things around this year And next year Without fear Knowing where we're going Let's keep this karma flowing It's mind blowing To know that where the mind goes The body follows For the mind controls the body And thoughts control actions Now This is only just a fraction of my reaction To a mother earth in serious contraction For all I see is grief on the streets In a city where hearts bear no pity It's far from pretty And there sure ain't no unity in my community I've been seeing this since puberty And it's a real calamity It seems as though we've forsaken all humanity I see so many lose their sanity over vanity So I pray for our rationality As I sow these seeds And plead that they won't fall by the wayside Because of pride I look at men's lives and feel uninspired Because all I see is pain inside And fear in their eyes I think it's about time we rise And be extra careful not to get roped in Because it's so easy to adopt the wrong thing That's why I sing a song And try to build a strong team With a positive theme So a positive future can be seen Here's hoping we all achieve our dreams And my spirit is unrelenting This is a manifestation of the faith that I was sent in Which liberates me from my fears So let all those that have ears Hear Because I see a future beyond the darkness I never used to because it was never like this It was dull but it's brighter now I see blue skies beyond the rain filled clouds And yesterday Did really end last night Today's a new day And it looks bright I think what i'll do is take a vacation And from now on Look for the benefits in every situation No longer being inpatient Just being the best that I can be And if you see me on the street Or at the club Greet me with enthusiasm And love Because even though my mentality Rises up out of the ghetto I'm still attached to the stem Just like a rose petal Hoping one day I'll be able to pass by the corners And not see the brothers hanging out Doing the same old things Smoking and calling at the women Every time they came about But simply had a change of heart And decided to make a new start You say 'but it's hard in this life And that I don't deny But that doesn't grant you the excuse not to try I mean tell me why Do some stall While others just fly by Some take a nose dive Some fly low And some fly high Some are even petrified So bless those who try And those who take the time out To work this rhyme out Just to find out What it's all about Because every line counts That's why I wrote it down And in the hope That we should not be like lambs to the slaughter I've led many horses to water But never been able to make them drink Hopefully this one'll make them think And begin to look inside themselves And realise that there's nothing missing And that goes for you too, so listen For as long as the stars glisten Stay on your mission And let no soul deter you from your ambition It's your decision To be or not to be Don't let Mr and Mrs know it all Control your destiny And who am I Phenzwaan Giving you The best In me
