And so my life has been guided | |
All the love | |
I needed was provided | |
And through my mothers sacrifices | |
I saw where her life went | |
To give more than birth to me, but life to me | |
And this ain't one of the clichés about black women being strong | |
Cause hell if you're weak, you're gone | |
But life courage determined to do more than just survive | |
And too many homes have a missing woman or man | |
Without the feeling of missing love | |
Maybe they are homes that are hurt | |
But they are no real lives that hurt without reach | |
But not broken | |
Unless the homes of soldiers – stationed overseas | |
Or lost in battles or broken | |
Unless the homes of firemen, policemen, construction workers, seamen, railroad men, truckers, pilots | |
Who lost their lives – but not what their lives stood for... | |
Because men die, men lose, they are lost and they leave | |
And so do women ... | |
I came from what they called "a broken home" | |
But they ever really called it "a house" | |
They would have known how wrong they were | |
We were working on our lives and our homes | |
Dealing with what we had, not what we didn't have | |
My life has been guided by women | |
But because of them – | |
I am the man. | |
God bless you mama – and thank you. |
And so my life has been guided | |
All the love | |
I needed was provided | |
And through my mothers sacrifices | |
I saw where her life went | |
To give more than birth to me, but life to me | |
And this ain' t one of the clich s about black women being strong | |
Cause hell if you' re weak, you' re gone | |
But life courage determined to do more than just survive | |
And too many homes have a missing woman or man | |
Without the feeling of missing love | |
Maybe they are homes that are hurt | |
But they are no real lives that hurt without reach | |
But not broken | |
Unless the homes of soldiers " stationed overseas | |
Or lost in battles or broken | |
Unless the homes of firemen, policemen, construction workers, seamen, railroad men, truckers, pilots | |
Who lost their lives " but not what their lives stood for... | |
Because men die, men lose, they are lost and they leave | |
