Here to Stay
I made my soulful journey
Into
this world with little say
You
cannot close the door to my existence
For
I am here to stay
Forged
by woe this soul of fire
I
will not yield, not even sway
Against
your collective glacial current
For
I am here to stay
I
will no longer wait at your doorstep
Oppression
is not welcomed here today
I
am born with wisdom, strength and courage
And
I am here to stay
With
amazing grace through dark days I walk
My
strength no burden can outweigh
Never
blind, nor lost, for I stand in the light
I am here to stay
