Taking What They Gave
I was born in late December
Very young, but don’t remember
I grew up in small town digs
Only twelve for my first gigs
I never knew people of hue
Robbed of a differing view
So I preached a message of their design
Learned the ways and toed the line
‘Til lust led me to love
A divine push giving a shove
To look beyond my village scape
Write, record, share the tape
And find where I belong
Add some heart to my song
Denied by those who gave me birth
Forced to journey across the earth
To ask, hoping to receive
To seek, yearning to relieve
So knocking could open an unseen door
And blessing my way, could aid the poor
Now to be just as I am
Without one plea, a tinkered dam
And laugh my way to newness of life
Surviving the day
With all of its strife
For without the pain
I grow insane
And absent good cheer
Nothing seems clear
