AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL

man, my soul wants to be in control
and hit every goal
that my spirit has set
but my body won't let me walk
or fly like a hawk
ans sometimes i wonder why God brought me here
yeah i'm still not clear
year after forty years
of tears
and fears
and a big taste of humble pie
yeah i can't lie
i have wanted to die
but God wanted me to breathe
yeah even when i didn't believe
in him
but swam
yeah
towards to dam
yeah like clam
or a canned ham
floating in water
but now i am his daughter
and that's cool
yeah even when...
i feel like a real fool
when so-called friends
wanna end our friendship
ans then i slip
into a called depression
but i still learn a valuable lesson
so i'm guessing...
that i do have some...
air-traffic- control

I SMILE

i smile
when my child is happy
i smile at thought of my mom and pappy
still being alive
and thrive on songs
that talk about gettin' on
yeah right or wrong
i smile
when people drive miles
to see me
yeah honestly i smile
because life is wild
and wow
yeah like...
wonder and thunder
letters and numbers
shapes and heartbreaks
yeah i take everything...
like winter and spring
and i sing like queen
and that brings
me
a reason
to be

AZUSA STREET REVIVAL

A is for Amen
and B is for Blessed
And C is for i must Confess
that the Divine is the best
Elder Brother
and Friend
that a Girl could ever
Have In this world
Jesus Kind of Love
Mercy Me
Nobody can see all that he do
yeah because Obviously his Oath is the most
Priceless Quote that someone ever wrote
Right?
Yeah Sins blow into the wind
when the Savior Sacrificed his Skin
To Save a Slave like Us
Victory Was Win
EXCLUSIVELY
Yeah Azusa Street Revival

MARY WAS HER NAME

Mary was here name
and birthing Jesus was her pain
and her gain
at the same time
yeah she was so much more
than the subject of rhyme
yeah Mary was patient
Mary was kind
yeah because she birthed
sunshine first
yeah she birthed
the thirst
that quenched the worst
that has ever been done
Yeah Mary birthed a son
that ran into being a man
with a plan in his hand
yeah with a clear understanding
of his landing
here
yeah him and Mary...
faced their fears
yeah which led us to years
manna bread
communion blood
oh what a flood
of love
that was gave
and now i'm saved
yeah no slave
or no real grave
yeah because Mary...
did not act on her scary

SELF-CONSCIOUS

sin hit me again
like the wind
in Chicago
yeah i can't believe i saw tomorrow
i mean today
yay, my lust got taken away
and i trust that i'll be okay
yeah even through gray
and black
yeah i don't won't go back
to the nights with no lights
and my heart feeling so lonely
with no hommies in sight
so i might take a bite
in me
self-consciously
but God still sees
and hears my please
in the morning
yeah, he gave me another to see
and to be
real
and still
and reflective
about my doubts
and my wrongs
that go on
in my home
and in my mind
yeah before the rhymes
and the sunshine

THE WALKING BLESSED

i must confess
that my flesh
so wants to be considered
with all the rest
of the walking blessed
yeah i want to considered
equal with the people
on this planet
yeah i wanna moonwalk
on granite
or put my feet
in some concrete
evidence
yeah i wanna walk down the aisle
to a prince with a really big smile
on his face
yeah i so wanna taste grace
before i finish my race
down here
yeah lets be clear
i wanna walk without fear
on my mine
yeah no more
being left behind
all of the time
or being left out
yeah i would dance
and shout
without any doubt
to speak about

MY HONOR CODE

i honor
the wonder
and the thunder
in me
yeah i honor
the lock and the key
yeah can see it in my poetry?
yeah can you smell it when i tell it?
straight from the well
of my heaven and hell
yeah a.k.a my life
but with every slice
my will still honors Christ
yeah his sacrifice
was priceless
and a real success
at its'best
yeah so i can rest
now and later
and so he loves me greater
or more
yeah just look at this open door
called poetry
which i write with all my might
and i see the light
in front of me
every-time i rhyme
yeah the sun shines
behind the moon
yeah the sky makes room
for my tune
but still i will honor God
