Inner light

(I’m still a work in progress, an attempt to not regress)

young man’s frosty frigid hands so cold, but so bold
Continue the work of his forefathers, they never get to old
Prescribed by far off  mediocre memories he remembers,
The wisdom of truth he was taught to share, it seems only last december
He could hear it being speakin by his grandfather, from the inner light it shine bright
Holding it tight, the old text,  like the love of his son, God and wife.

sayin,

This inner light of mine, I’m gunna let it shine
This inner light of mine, I’m gunna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine,
Let this inner light shine bright.


But in the beginning of this young mans life, choas and critics ensue, what to do?
Never knowing to believe, the demographic or the bold of His most true.
So he tried  in his own way, blazzin a path in his own name, so lame
Gettin tired in his ways, evidentially left with no one to blame.
But in the darkest moment he found somethin seekin,
Unrealized it was this inner light speaking,

sayin,

This inner light of mine, I’m gunna let it shine
This inner light of mine, I’m gunna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine,
Let this inner light shine bright.


Out of the darkness he came, blessed by the face of Grace,
Simply he knew what was, his time and place.
To stand for things of new,
he stands for the only thing he knew,
Derived from the fingerprints left to impress,
Marking the nature of his soul to bless.

sayin,

This inner light of mine, I’m gunna let it shine
This inner light of mine, I’m gunna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine,
Let this inner light shine bright.


Now he’s not always right in his ways,
But united by the path that he blazes.
All for one, screamin the call for all kind
Never realizin, in his own mind.
What this began inside of him,
A newfound value greater than a double two rims.

And all the while he’s still sayin,

This inner light of mine, I’m gunna let it shine
This inner light of mine, I’m gunna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine,
Let this inner light shine bright.
