From Whence Comes My Strength

Lord, I been down 
And lookin’ up I sees.. 
Trees tall trees

Striving for the light 
Are we all...
Are we not?

That distant glow 
waiting ...so.

Is mine
Is coming

Patience and inching forward 
On knees
On bleeding knuckles

When hope is thin 
When I give in
To tears

I see the light in trees 
Tall trees

And onward step 
And upward hoist.

Hi ho
