GOD IT IS NEVER TO LATE
BECAUSE YOU ARE ALWAYS GREAT

AND I AM SOMETIMES STUBBORN
LIKE A BULL
YOU ALWAYS GIVE MW A PULL
OR A PUSH
INTO THE THE BURNING BUSH
SORT OF SPEAK
YEAH I AM ALWAYS IN YOUR REACH
YEAH EVEN IN THE DEEP
WATERS
YEAH I AN STILL YOUR DAUGHTER
OR YOUR DISCIPLE
AND THAT IS SO DELIGHTFUL
THAT YOU CLAIM ME

OR DON'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE ME
AR ALL
BUT THAT IS OKAY
BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ONE...
WHO REALLY MAKES DAY
AND SO I MUST SAY
THANKS FOR CALLING ME

FRAMING MY PAIN

tears
and fears
i have them
yeah almost every day
but that's okay
because they both turn
into lessons learned
and poetry
so bring on
the sad songs
because i can turn those wrongs right
or rather God can shed so light
on my head
because he bled
for moments like this
yeah for the days when i would feel pissed
so i would be a fool to miss
out
on this school
called life
because when i make it through
i will see paradise

figure it out

i woke up again
feelin' like i have no friends
to depend on
so yeah i woke up wrong
and i'm supposed to wake up....
with a song in my heart
because i was blessed with a new start
but i can't seem to shake this heartache
or scream "i'm havin' a bad dream"
"help"
and so i wept
in depth
to myself
but i didn't see death
so why am i cryin'?
is my heart lyin' to me?
because i'm supposed to be happy
yeah so says my pappy in heaven
who give me more than eleven
hours
to figure it out

MY SOUL'S OUTBURST

okay there's goes another teardrop
stop
because i don't want to cry
or be passed by
but my eyes can't lie
that kinda mess hurts
yeah being left in the dirt
or in the dark
because my heart
is real
so yeah it feels
everything
yeah my mood seems to love to swing
yeah even though...
God says i'm a queen
with wings
tears still flow
out of me
like a waterfalls
because no calls
or seems to care
about my welfare
and i swear...
that hurts my eyes
but i realizes...
that it hurts my soul first

ROCKET GIRL

GOOD MORNING
OR GOODNIGHT
YES AS MY MIND TAKES FLIGHT
I LOSE TRACK OF TIME
BUT THAT'S FINE
BECAUSE I'M DREAMIN'
YES I'M BELIEVIN'
FOR SOMETHIN' BETTER
AND THAT CAN WEATHER
THAT STORM
YEAH AND CAN SHIELD ME HARM
SO I GUESS...
I'M DREAMIN' ABOUT THE BEST
YES THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN REALLY BLESS
MY THOUGHTS
AND DESIRES
YES HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN LIGHT THE FIRE
UNDER MY ROCKET
AND HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN STOP IT
IF HE WANTED TO
SO I KNOW IT'S TRUE
THAT I WAS MEANT TO PURSUE
MY DREAMS
AND MANY THINGS
YES I WAS BORN WITH INVISIBLE WINGS
SO WATCH OUT
AND HAVE NO DOUBTS

THE POWER OF NATURAL LIGHT

there's natural light
coming in my eyesight
but it's alright
it's beautiful to me
yeah better than tv
and maybe that's the key
to being happy
and free
like a tree
just growing up
outside
in the open
view
and that's what i need to do
but on the inside first
and then burst
or bloom
yes wherever there's room
for natural light to come in

MY TRANSFORMATION

I CAN'T SHOOT BLANKS
NO BECAUSE GOD GAVE ME A THINKING TANK
AND HE PULLS RANK
ON THIS BULL
YES UNTIL I'M FULL
OF FAITH
AND FEEL SAFE
BECAUSE OF GRACE
YEAH BECAUSE GOD'S LOVE
AND HARD WORK
YEAH HE PULLED THIS BULL
OUT OF DIRT
OF JERKS
AND GAVE ME PERKS
THAT I COULDN'T EVEN DREAM UP
YEAH I'M BLESSED
I MUST CONFESS
BUT ONLY BECAUSE CHRIST PASSED THE TEST
THAT I CAN REST
IN THE WIND
YES IN THE END
OR IN THE BEGINNING
DEPENDING ON HOW YOU LOOK AT THINGS
BUT IN MY EYES
I REALIZE
I HAVE WINGS
BECAUSE OF A KING

LIVING YOUR DREAM

GOD GUIDE MY HANDS
AND FEET ON THIS LAND
AND HELP MY MIND TO UNDERSTAND
YOUR DIVINE PLAN
BECAUSE YOU LOVE
AND SAY I CAN
WITH YOUR HELP
YES WITH DEPTH
I WILL SEE
THINGS COME OUT OF ME
THAT WILL BE THE KEY
TO OPEN MANY DOORS
AND STOP MANY WARS
AND HEAL MANY SORES
FOR REAL
SO AS SIT STILL
I YEARN TO LEARN
YOUR WILL
YES I CRAVE TO KNOW YOUR WAY TODAY
SO FATHER FLOW THROUGH ME
LIKE A STREAM
OR SOME MELTED ICE CREAM
BECAUSE YES LORD
I SO WANT TO LIVE YOUR DREAM

when you drop your guard

sometimes it feel like a sin
to wanna spend time
with a friend
or a crime
to have one on my mind
but that's fine
or at least honest
to be aware
that i do care
like square
because they're out here
clearly not thinking about me
and they think i don't see
but i be watching them
on facebook
yeah and my heart got shook
and almost ripped apart
but oh well that's what happens...
when you drop your guard

MY BEATING FLESH

my heart beats
and eyes blink
and my thinks
man i'm alive
yeah i'm awake
for God's sake
so i can't take
that for granted
yeah while i'm on this planet
of purpose
or promise
but God is my drum-mist
yes he is my kiss
on the cheek
and he is my pillow
when i sleep
yeah our connection
is deep
yeah our affection
is pure
as water
yeah a father
a daughter
at their best
yes until all is at rest
in my beating flesh

music notes

music
oh boy how i use it
to get through the day
or help get out what i wanna say
to anybody who wants to listen
or not
yeah either way i'm not gonna stop
until the beat drops
off
yeah music
is like my boss
and i get lost
in her instruction
or her seduction
but i swear i don't care
because i love the fact that...
she takes me there with every track
yeah play it back
so i can learn
every word
like a bird
that talk
or squawks
like a chicken
yeah i was born to listen
to music

DAUGHTER OF GOD

i'm breathing hard
i'm breathing long
yeah i'm breathing strong
like a soulful song
on repeat
no my heart is not weak
and my body hardly gets sleep
like deep water
yeah because i'm a daughter
of GOD
of all things beautiful
and so my spirit go
yeah meaning die
yeah i will fly
high
in the sky
without a try
because again i am...
a daughter of GOD

NOW AND TOMORROW

okay it has been awhile
since your child
crack a smile
or did a dance
but give me another chance
to live
yeah to breath
and to leave
yesterday behind
yeah give me another rhyme
or some more time
for me to see sunshine
because it would be a crime
to not take it all in
yeah it would be a sin
yeah since my kin
and my dearest friend
died and fired
and then chose to rose
up
so yeah i must get up
tomorrow
and thank you God
for working so hard
on my behalf
for your craft
but i was born to laugh
in the process
because i am loved
and i am blessed
now and tomorrow
amen

LYING IN THE GRASS

when i'm alone with you
i don't feel alone
i don't feel wrong
yeah i feel like i belong
in a home called heaven
so when will my eleventh hour be?
yeah when will you come get me?
mentally and spiritually i mean
because i love being your queen
and doing the things i get to for you
or that you do through me honestly
because when we get together
we create things that are great
and that will last way after i pass

M.V.P.

SHERI,
IT'S STILL VERY SURREAL
AND SCARY
BEING IN THIS WORLD
WITHOUT YOU GIRL
BUT I WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE IT A WHIRL
JUST LIKE YOU DID
YEAH EVEN WHEN WE WERE KIDS
I KNEW THAT THERE'S WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT
YEAH YOUR STRENGTH
WAS EVIDENT
AND I LATER FOUND OUT...
THAT IT WAS HEAVEN SENT
WHERE YEARS AGO YOU WENT
BACK TOO
AND I REALLY MISS YOU
BUT I'M GLAD THAT WE WENT THROUGH
THIS LIFE TOGETHER
FOR HOWEVER LONG
OR HOWEVER SHORT
BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WE WON OR SPORT
CALLED FRIENDSHIP

THE FATHER'S DAUGHTER

peace be still
will empower me
to reflect the things of heaven
24/7
365
well any day that i'm alive
yes i must dive in
yes i must win
over sin
because i'm a kin
of God
who died hard
and rose right
in the light
and in the sight
of the first God
because if you see me
then you should see
The Father
yeah his walk
or hear his talk
come out my mouth
from north to south
and from east to west
yes to confess that he is...
the best
and the only one who can...
truly bless me
yeah from the moon
to the sea

THE CALLING ON OUR LIFE

we can't force God's choice
but we can hear his voice
yes even over the noise
of thus nation
because i am his creation
yeah i am his mic
to express his psyche
on the likes
to gain
brothers
and sister
in the rain
yeah in the middle of pain
or shame
that's right
this life isn't game
however it can be fun
but we shouldn't run
but walk
or we can fly like hawk
but only when we hear God talk

this is how i feel about passing away

time has been on my mind
and so has breath and death
yeah how much do i have left?
because i can't just sit on the shelf
yeah i meant to lit like a candle
or use like a handle
on a cup
yeah pick up
and drink
what i think about
and then spit it out
on the world
like a fountain
on a mountain
top
yeah a beautiful drop
rain
on
a person pain
can be so divine
like sunshine
on a once cloudy day
yeah this is how i feel about passing away

THE WOMAN AT THE WELL 2017

straight from my brain
yeah based on my pain
i let in rain
on paper
for people to know
it's okay to let to go
yeah to let tears flow
because that's how things grow
and things fly
high
in the sky
where a guy i know
lives
so i must give
some positive energy
back
to the one
who sent me
ans went through hell
so i could live to tell
about the well-
water
this daughter
can drink
when she starts to sink
or fell faint
on those quaint nights
and bright mornings

STARGAZING

okay the night is dark
but not my heart
that's right
because i have the light
of God
in me
yeah he is the reason
i be
living
and giving
of myself
and taking a breath
or a step
yeah even if i wept
in depth
it's okay
because God has already made a pathway
in the alley
and valley
so this child
can smile
bright
like a light
in a very dark place
also known as grace

A MUST AND PLUS

EVEN THOUGH I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION
RATHER LISTEN
TO YOU GOD
YES HARD
WHILE YOU TALK SOFT
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GET LOST
ANYMORE
SO PLEASE FATHER
OPEN THE DOOR
SO I CAN HEAR YOU
CLEARLY
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU DEARLY
DADDY
YEAH I GLAD YOU HAD ME IN MIND
THAT FINE DAY
IN HEAVENLY SKY
NO I DON'T ASK WHY
BECAUSE YOU NEVER LIE
ABOUT YOUR REASONS
AND YOU STAY IN ALL FOUR SEASONS
SO I WILL ALWAYS BE STRAIGHT
BECAUSE YOU ARE SO GREAT
SO I CAN'T WAIT TO FEAST ON YOUR PLATE
OF WORDS
YEAH LIKE WORMS TO BIRDS
OR WHAT EAGER IS TO BEAVER
A MUST AND PLUS

BLESSED FOR ANOTHER BREATH

OKAY
I LIVED ANOTHER DAY
YAY I BREATHED ANOTHER DAY
BUT NOT ON MY OWN
NO THAT WOULD BE WRONG
FOR ME TO SAY
BECAUSE I DIDN'T WAKE MYSELF UP
OUT OF MY SLEEP
OR MAKE MY HEART BEAT
LIKE A DRUM
NO, THE KINGDOM DID
BECAUSE I AM HIS KID
YEAH HE BID
A HIGH PRICE
FOR MY LIFE
THAT I GOT TO LIVE OUT TODAY

TAKE ME HOME DADDY

MY LOVE
MY DOVE
MY PRINCE OF PEACE
RELEASE ME TO BE
FREE
YES UNLOCK THE KEY
SO I CAN SEE
MORE OF YOUR BEAUTY
YEAH BECAUSE MY LOVE
THIS WORLD IS A BEAST
AND I JUST WANNA FEAST
ON YOUR FAITHFULNESS
IN EVERY TEST
YES YOUR CHILD
GOES TO HER HIGHS
AND LOWS
WITH TEARS ON HER PILLOW
BUT YOU ARE HER HERO
YES YOU ARE HER STAR
SO I WILL GO FAR
BECAUSE YOU ARE MY FATHER
AND I'M YOUR DAUGHTER
SO ONE DAY I WILL SAY
TAKE ME HOME DADDY

THE BEST WALKWAY

JESUS
I WANT TO WALK ON YOUR NARROW ROAD
YEAH I WANT TO CRACK YOUR EVERY CODE
BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO KNOW YOU BETTER
AND FOREVER
AND THEN WE WOULD WALK THE NARROW ROAD TOGETHER
YEAH AS FRIENDS
AND THEN AS KIN
SINCE YOU BLOOD WASHED AWAY MY SINS
LIKE FLOODS WASHES AWAY MUD
YEAH NO MORE DIRT
AND NO MORE HURT
WELL AT LEAST NOT FOR LONG
BECAUSE MY WRONGS...
WERE MADE RIGHT
IN YOUR LIGHT
AND IN YOUR SIGHT
SO I LIKE
THAT I CAN WALK
AND TALK WITH YOU
AND THAT YOU SEE ME THROUGH
EVERY STORM
AND THAT YOU MEAN ME...
NO HARM
AND THAT LEAVE ME FEELING SO WARM
LIKE A CHARM
ON VALENTINES DAY
BUT YOUR WAY

BETTER
