lyrics

Do not again be burdened by the yoke of slavery
David prophesied of my potential when he prayed for me
A ruler of the work of his hands; dominion's at your feet
They couldn't sink your ship even if they sent the whole fleet
Chains will never break will never fall will never cease
When we recognize All we have at stake we'll be at peace because
Because we'll know that dwelling solely on life's trials and tribulations
Will grant synthetic freedom
One that's racked with stipulations

One night approached by an angel looked just like my mama
One so gently innocent you'd be condemned to harm her
Any space that she enters becomes a sanctuary
Haven place secure and sheltered for the cold and weary
She said your future's so bright
A voice soft as warm milk down your throat on a cold night
Her palms on my cheek, smooth and sweet as golden honey
A song so pure forgot of earthly things like silver gold and money
She said it's out your hands now, no use in even stressing
Just keep your head up and buckle down, reach out and claim your blessings
Moses freed his people cause his mother left him
You'll never lose you either gain a win or gain a lesson
Tomorrow's no guarantee Nostra said it before he died
And light and darkness cannot exist on the same side
But I'm choosing to live free filled with joy while I'm still alive
The voices raised up and said that I couldn't do it they lied

Yes I'll make mistakes but I'm still freed and proud
Free is knowing exactly who you are in a tumultuous crowd
Free is stained on me like moonlight on the surrounding clouds
The voice of truth here in my ears is loud

Don't be in control
Pick your head up there
The path to your success ain't always crystal clear
Don't be broken
Don't feel broken

Don't be in control
Get your head up there
Know your destiny will soon be diamond clear
Can't be broken
Won't be broken

I'm blessed in the day
Invincible cannot be touched so let it come what may
And I ain't scared of the dark
The night is long but the moon is shining blue I can see my path is marked
Let me tell you something bout myself I'm marked too
And I been healed can't nothing hold me back like Mark 2
I know my purpose is ordained like Tony Stark knew
Snap snap my enemies'll fade into the dark blue
The night sky is darkness but it's full of stars too
That same dark that swallowed them will make be brand new
On the cusp of breaking this cocoon and surely I'll soon
Be flying not close to the sun but maybe touch the moon
In the pale starlight I see the flash of my life
And though some memories still cut deep like a sharpened knife
I know one day I'll look back on this cold and fateful night
And know everything was alright

Shades of blue form a cocoon
Made with yellow swirl-like pieces
Resembling soft rays of moonlight
Which yell at the dark by amplifying the light

Enclosed, silence greets me
I am not alone, my thoughts
Here to keep me company,
Rub my back, tend to the wounds
On my soul's flesh

A journey to my framework
Led by my own soft steps
I go deeper to where my thoughts pool
Feel the surface break as I dive in

Solace washes through me
My sense of identity dries me off
Here, I am able to find parts of myself
I thought were gone

Enclosed, sound breaks
Low light peaks its face
And I'm back in fields of green
With stars kissing the night sky

Cursing dawn
And praying the night be long
