In the rubbles of my history I shall not dwell. But in the luminosity of my hope I survive. Snakes in my path I step on heads. I donâ??t like to be dressed in a dead man's suit. I will never slumber when guns rule. The night is always younger than me yet ill never be goliath against it. But I let my fear to be the same age as the night.
I fear not what I donâ??t understand...And I love what I canâ??t conquer. challenges I there not to stress me but for me to see how strong I still stand...in darkness I refuse to be blind so I use my nocturnal power. When thunder strikes I hide not under the bed.
Because in a moment I find so many days...
My weakness makes me smile and my strength makes me sad.
My fear makes me bold and the dust on my shoes makes me shine.
Just like how my tears make me smile.
Search under my skin you will find a king.
In my bones itâ??s a pedigree of kings.
Mountains under the African sun know better.
And the sands on shores of oceans are witnesses.
And river bands have seen my face.
Let the sky tell you I am one man too many people so I became the nation.
And the forest tree gave cool shadow for my brain to rest under.
While the sun boiled the ground under my feet.
I was making love to confusion.
Suffering knows the face of my life.
Hunger knows my stomach.
Confusion tasted the bitterness of my mind.
But love never saw my heart.
