EXPERIENCE

I Have Seen The Walls Of China

I Have Seen The Rains In Spain

But I Have Never Seen Good Loving

In A Life That Is Rack With Pain

 

I Have Seen The Sun On The Horizon

As It Exchanged Kisses With The Sea

But I Have Never Seen Happiness

In A Heart That Was Not Set Free

 

I Have Lived Inside Of My Insecurities

I Have Been Trapped By A Weaken Mind

But I Kept Thinking To Myself

That Everything Changes With Time

 

I Have Known Mistreatment

By Humans Full Of Hate

I Have Been A Victim Of Calumnies

But I Never Gave Up My Faith

 

I Have Faced The Bullets Of Criticism

I Have Been Called By Another Name

I Have Seen My Fire Distinguished

But I Had No One But Me To Blame

 

I Have Spoken To The High And Mighty

I Have Lived With The Common Man

If Receive An Opportunity

I Will Do The Best I Can

 

On The Landscape Of My Living

Lives The Hyenas Against My Hope

To Avoid The Predators Along My Path

I Must Travel On The Slippery Slope

 

To Achieve The Goals I Am Seeking

I Must Travel Through Swampy Land

When My Self-Confidence Is Challenged

I Must Take My Strongest Stand
