I Hold My Head Up To The Sky
In All My Dreams Are In The Clouds
Yet They Seem So Far From My Reach
So I Lowered My Head & Gazed Upon This Street
& Before You Know It An Angel Descend Upon Me.
I Look At Her & Say With No Hope
"I Don't Know If I Can Do This Anymore"
"I Don't Know How Much Longer I Can Last
Holding On, & Not Feel Like My Life Is Nothing But Trash"
She Looks At Me & Say
You Can Last, You Was Built To Do Anything
& Achieve Anything At Hand
God Built You Strong Don't You See
No, Cause You Know What All I Have Seen?
Death
Poverty
Pain
& Thing I Cannot Name
That's All That's Been Around Me
& That's All I See
God Built You Strong
Black, Proud & Bold
Tall, Thin & Tone
He Built You With Broad Shoulder
& Legs Of Any Man
So When The World Fell On You
You Might Have Stumble
But Never Have You Fell
Never Once Have You Hit Your Knees,
So Why Now Must You Give This Plea
God Built You Strong
Just Look Around & See
Who Does Every One Turn To When They Can't Hold On
Just So You Can Say Its Okay To Go On
God Built You Strong
Will You See
& With That, The Angel Left Me
God Built Me Strong
Yes Indeed
He Made Me Strong For Everyone Around Me
God Gave You My Hand So
I'll Never Let You Go
God Gave You My Rib
So I'll Never Leave Your Side
God Gave You My Eye
So I'll Never Lose Sight Of You
God Gave You My Heart
So I Can Eternally Love You
But God Gave Me My Mind
So I Could Write Down This Poem Just In Time
God Built Me Strong
Black, Proud & Bold
Just So I Could Be Able To Tell You Its Okay To Hold On……
