I SHALL RISE

And I shall rise.

I was alone and could not understand the games played on me ...but that did not get me down 

No matter what life holds for me palatable or otherwise 

No matter how long it takes ,with how much effort ,

I will quietly listen to my heart ,will listen and wait 

And I shall rise.

No one can put me out ,no ,no one can suppress who I am 

What I stand for ,what I believe in ..............

I shall rise.

Never mind how tough the going gets,

How uneven my path becomes,

 Ishall not give up ,I will press on

I shall rise.

Never mind if all leaves me ,none stand by me 

I know I am right ,I will not deviate from my path

I shall not be manipulated by the so called greats 

I will stand alone to wither all the storms,as long as I am right 

I shall rise.

Some day my shepherd will come ,I believe ,with all my being,

Then all my needs will be fulfilled .........

I shall rise. 

Thank you. Shalom.
