I Stand up Tall
I've been told; what do they see in me.
they try so hard to understand, but cannot see.
the mystery that I command.
They say: they still don't understand, the wisdom,
I display. I say: its the smile and my embrace, the
way I hold your hand.
The arch in my back to testify, the knowledge I have
achieved, every step of life, I accept and with ease.
The words that flow directly from my heart, hopefuly
will sustain my stature head to toe without disdain.
As with every movement as it flows.
Now you understand, why my head not bowed,
I stand up tall.
