Hello children |
[00:47.24] |
Jesus loves you of America |
[00:49.06] |
|
[00:55.19] |
Are you hearing |
[00:56.07] |
|
[00:57.25] |
What he's saying |
[00:58.05] |
|
[00:59.46] |
Are you feeling |
[01:00.27] |
|
[01:01.61] |
What you're praying |
[01:02.43] |
|
[01:04.01] |
Are you hearing, praying, feeling |
[01:06.42] |
What you say, inside |
[01:08.47] |
|
[01:12.05] |
You better tell |
[01:12.96] |
|
[01:15.68] |
Your story fast |
[01:17.22] |
|
[01:21.32] |
And if you last |
[01:22.52] |
|
[01:24.74] |
It will come to pass |
[01:26.34] |
|
[01:49.81] |

|
[03:02.38] |
Cries of young lives sing silly songs of laughter in the life after |
[03:06.29] |
Hurt, ego, and misguided pride which lead to lies the soul can no longer stand to bear |
[03:11.29] |
|
[03:12.68] |
But I see twenty children standing there beaming bright in angel light as they take flight |
[03:18.90] |
|
[03:19.71] |
Together they smile the type sunlight that makes the devil backtrack into his lair |
[03:24.31] |
|
[03:24.96] |
Yeah, these young souls are soothsayers, spiritual players |
[03:28.46] |
|
[03:29.13] |
Accelerated graduators of this game called life |
[03:31.57] |
|
[03:32.96] |
Spitting sixteens making Biggie breakdance and Frankie seem like Lalah's dad |
[03:38.13] |
With ten thousand other souls watching true love withhold nothing |
[03:42.15] |
|
[03:47.30] |
And through dried tears we will spend the next few years silently screaming "why" |
[03:52.13] |
|
[03:53.18] |
Until we realize that their spiritual awakening already understood their undertaking |
[03:57.41] |
|
[03:58.13] |
Of the moment they appeared in the womb playing Romper Room |
[04:01.21] |
Creating heated debates that should have been sparked sooner than the dark hell of December 2012 |
[04:06.30] |
|
[04:06.98] |
And now, now, now they dance the story of masters much faster t |
[04:15.67] |
han the polygamous pastor can tell a lie |
[04:18.31] |
Faster than you can wipe from your eyes the soot of deceit |
[04:22.02] |
No, these kids dance the story that tells us to delete the feeling of being incomplete from our consciousness |
[04:27.43] |
|
[04:28.29] |
To let these six and seven year olds take a hold of our consciousness |
[04:32.29] |
To remind us to laugh, scream, and let our inner child fly |
[04:37.16] |
Higher than deferred dreams seldom seen |
[04:39.49] |
Through the lens of love and gratitude, let's give our children love and gratitude |
[04:46.59] |
|
[04:48.69] |
Fly high |
[04:50.31] |
|
[04:53.55] |
Shine, and fly high |
[04:54.85] |
