"If You Give a Child a Word" Continued

I just, run back to the time where I was just yay tall

As I watched my mother’s smile

After I became the first one in class to break the wall, Of language.

From then, I was raised to learn the power of a word.

And now, I have the spirit of a million voices in my soul that just wanna be heard

Do you hear me when I say if you give a child a word?

You’re not only nurturing a garden

But, You’re building a world that our youth deserves A world where they can escape to A world where their innovative visions can come true

If you give a child a word

You’ll begin to face the truth

Of why I tell stories how I do

Why I move how I move

And why I love how I love, You

Because I believe in you.

You, you, you, you & you

And out there is someone looking towards you.

Or anybody, that will gracefully extend their hand

To guide them to the ray of light where their destiny patiently stands.
