about

My totally original contribution to this project. A song written for the beautiful children I have taught over the years in various programs and schools. Just wanted to let them know that I "get" them, even if I'm disciplining them.

lyrics

Strong and brave is he, this manchild
Fighting hard to survive in a world designed for his demise
Ghetto quicksand grabs his feet, trying to break his stride
But he'll beat it every time
He's gonna be just fine
They'll try to block his way
But he's gonna be OK
In spite of all the tricks they try
I can see the light of victory in his eyes

She's got a million stories to tell, but she stays quiet
So much pain in her past and she can't face it yet
She needs a release, she needs to let go
She wonders if it shows
She doesn't think I know
But girl, I've been there too
Running from the same pain as you
There are things you can't disguise
Cause I can see them when I look into your eyes

When you feel like you're going crazy
Reach inside, grab the reins and take control
The hurting gets too big to hold in
Gotta remember that your eyes are the windows to your soul
