GOD IN THE MIRROR

Lord you know what I need You know what I crave And I know you can deliver...yeah Lord Is it all on me? And I see you in the mirror Yeah I see you in the mirror....Yeah It's a struggle trying to see blessings Through bloodstained glass Sometimes we only see joy in the devils laugh Petitioning the Gods for peace and prosperity But maybe the Gods see Gods in us It's Primal therapy Realizing our worth and the power in our thoughts Counting our blessings Instead of the things we've lost Instead of stretching arms to skies We should close our eyes Seek the divinity we keep locked deep inside Our own hearts We be the ark where Orisha reside The force of Yemaya To wash away the negative in her tides This light of mine is not little But how can I make it shine If I'm waiting for someone outside myself To open the blinds What if Earth wind and fire are all mine Like science confirms The remnants of stars from the beginning of time Are part of my DNA The universe flows through my blood I'm not just what is and will be But what was Maybe I need to see God in the mirror Maybe to kill inadequacy I need to be the one pulling the trigger Maybe instead of falling to my knees I need to stand and deliver Before that man in the mirror Lord you know what I need You know what I crave And I know you can deliver...yeah Lord Is it all on me? And I see you in the mirror Yeah I see you in the mirror....Yeah They say God is everywhere But don't say she's a force inside It's a thin line between faith and lies But who's to blame If I chose to follow fables... Not accepting salvation's within Waiting for it to be served at tables The oracles in our hearts are prophets But we ride to nowhere on rockets On the words of zealous men who seek profit We call verses forced on us, "the Word" Instead of questioning "word?" For centuries the truth was not written But heard Yet we search for signs Through passages in scripture Seeking heaven But The bigger picture Is the in between You...me... We're the center of it all We have ashé of supernovas That can topple walls We're conditioned to fear God And to believe in Hell And to drink from a book of contradictions that tells us we're good but we're sinners That the martyrs are winners We don't have to die to find God We just need to look into the mirror Lord you know what I need You know what I crave And I know you can deliver...yeah Lord Is it all on me? And I see you in the mirror Yeah I see you in the mirror....Yeah You are more than just the image of God You're made with the essence of God Society makes it so hard To visualize your greatness So we struggle to believe We are beautiful and strong enough To bring demons to their knees We are light from a world Far beyond these stars How can we love ourselves If we don't know who we are If we can't grasp the reality of our power We become prey for the evil ones to devour I understand that it's hard to see But trust me, We are sentient beings With abilities way beyond belief Sometimes we forget And sometimes we fall And some of us never believed in ourselves at all Disbelief doesn't make it less real Some things in this world You can't see, but feel Don't go looking for God Inside something bigger Than yourself Look into the mirror And nothing else Lord you know what I need You know what I crave And I know you can deliver...yeah Lord Is it all on me? And I see you in the mirror Yeah I see you in the mirror....Yeah
