Behind my eyes, I reach for skies that tell no lies The earth, it cries for change that can't be televised We polarized and synthesized by stimuli My heart is wide, though parts have died I can't deny, I realize Your eternal eyes see through my disguise These falls, what do they symbolize? I know that you made me to rise I need pain to feel alive When racism's still alive I was told that life's a bitch Hope that she don't kill my vibe I've been still, but still I rise Lots of things I feel inside Took some shots that's ill-advised Your grace and will is still alive I could breathe again, believin' in the deeds of men Your likeness, we created in It's where we begin, leadin' into your grace In your grace, I make peace You got me, I got power In your grace, I make peace You got me, I got power In your grace, I make peace You got me, I got power In your grace, I make peace You got me, I got power Some days I don't have the energy Holdin' back the pain of my ancestry Tryna break the patterns of our history Changin' the direction of my family tree I worked so hard, they're so proud of me I don't have no time to be visiting I'm runnin' through my life, look what I get to be Thirty-three with something to give to my offspring My mom and dad tried to teach their love to me Some days I forget that I am lovin' me That God is of of me, and not above of me And I know he still loves me In your grace, I make peace You got me, I got power In your grace, I make peace You got me, I got power In your grace, I make peace You got me, I got power In your grace, I make peace You got me, I got power Lead me into your grace Grace, grace
