As we are born unto her
It’s her fire that keeps us warm and safe
It’s she who sacrifices all
As we grow unto her
It’s she we keep close to
It’s she who sacrifices all
As we grow from her
She is never far from us
It’s she who sacrifices all
For she is our heart and our soul
A mother’s love is a blessing to her children
As The Lord had intended.
Dedicate to all the mamas, especially mine, who are watching over me from heaven.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Once upon a time, I hid from the world
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I let the fear of the unknown rule me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I wore a mask of indifference in front of everyone else
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I closed off my heart from the world
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I closed off my mind from the world
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Unleashed the darkness in my heart on the world
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Little did I know, He would send white wolves to me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The white wolves came from worldwide, watching me as I stumbled and struggled.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The Lioness went home, leaving me alone, or so I thought
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I finally stopped listening to those voices that held me from my light
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I stepped into the light shaking free of the fear of the unknown
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The white wolves came closer and closer to me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I stepped into the light, and I started my journey
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I can hear the roar of The Lioness from heaven encouraging me not to be afraid, for He has sent me help.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The howls and snarls of the white wolves cleared the paths of naysayers.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Moreover, there’s the ever-faithful Mama Goat at my side
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You threw me to the wolves, and I came back leading the pack
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You kicked me while I was down
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Look who running now
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Keep running, fools; I have no time for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I will see you all at my goal ends
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Knock me down
Boom, I’m up again
You’ll never break me
Because darling, I made diamonds.
Throw me to the wolves.
Well damn, I came back leading my pack.
Because darling, what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.
Kick me down
I won’t stay down for long, so you best be running because when I get back up, there be hell to pay
Because darling, I’m a force to reckon with when I put my mind to it.
No matter what life threw at me
I always got back up and dusted myself off, and fought like hell
With my pack cheering me on
Because darling, I am still standing
I had to conquer my fear of the unknown as I stepped through the open the door to start my new journey.
With a promise to fulfill
My heart shall never falter
Because I found my purpose
With each new day
With a heart of gold
With every step I take
With every new discovery I make
I see how much more it takes.
I have seen how far I have come
I have seen how much I have grown
I have seen what it takes
My tale has just begun.
Let me see what more I need to overcome.
Let me see what other challenges I need to conquer
Let me decide on which stairs to take
With an open mind, I shall rise
And stand at my goal’s end.
