    WHAT DO I SEE

    I_see_u

    what do i see

    when i look to the sky

    i gaze upon infinite possibility

    i admit to you

    many times i have disagreed

    with his chart of my life destiny

    but he has the final say

    yes he does

    so when i see a dove

    flying gracefully when i sleep

    i know in my heart

    words like blessings and faith

    are not obsolete

    and when i wake in the morning

    i fall right down to my knees

    thanking the supreme

    for another reprieve

     

    what do i believe

    when i look within

    i see a man who looks like me

    finally ready to receive 

    direction from my anscestral kin

    there are  spirits dancing all around me

    keeping my mind  focused

    on the journey ahead

    so many chapters in this life

    waiting to be read

    and when i contemplate

    all of my lifes ups and downs

    only his word could lift me

    he is that profound

     

    what do i see

    when i look into your  eyes

    i gaze upon a guarantee

    that all baptized

    in the blood of the spirits

    are simply beautiful

    lord knows i was so pitiful

    i once ignored the blessings

    you would bring

    but now when i hear the chior sing

    i truly believe there is a place for us

    if in his wisdom we trust

    and when all around me

    were prepared to shatter my glass home

    you stood up and said 

    let he without sin cast the first stone

     

    what do i believe

    when i look into the future

    i see many with faith being displeased

    for real love is giving willingly

    not being a consumer

    the dark secrets we all keep

    he will one day reveal

    yes he will

    those who pray with zeal

    but their hearts dont really feel

    saying  certain races

    and those of different sexual persuasion

    wont be let into the heavenly gates

    but i am not willing to be 

    in a paradise that segregates

    you see

    i have had more than enough

    of that mess here on earth

    so if heaven is as divided

    as the earthly church

    what is heaven  really worth

     

    what do i see

    what do i believe

     

    i believe the word of god 

    is written in many books

    but the true words of god

    are written on our hearts

    many times the last place we look

    when we say we believe

    in justice

    in truth

    in our fellow man and woman

    in the god we  trust

     

    that is what i believe

    and that is what i see

    when i look within
