"I'm Calling Out Upon"
Sometimes I find that people think it's strange
for someone to care from afar...
They don't understand,
No one bothered to try to learn the truth..
I hang my head down,
as I try to understand why..
Is it they never looked beyond their fears, their chains
their boundaries they've put upon life...
Have they forgotten what it means to have a dream,
to take the time to believe and reach out..
Everyday I feel the pains of the past,
at times I turned on my faith..
I Hold On! I'll Hold On!!
I reach in and find my strength!
I've tried and yes I've been judged..
I find my soul crying out for the justice..
I'm calling out upon the House of the Lord!
I stand here and look at their faces
"CAN YOU SEE IT IN MY EYES,
TELL ME WHY YOU HAVE JUDGED ME"!?
This is the lesson I now bring forth to you all..
You must never crucify the innocence of a child
for such beauty is Heaven sent
and the power of love you cannot destroy...
Something so special was told to you
whispered to you in your dreams
A message was sent by the hand of one
Who's eyes were shown things to come..
You laughed while others ran
while some picked up the stones..
I sent you a child full of wisdom and love..
Given the mercy seat..
For what have you done
can you see the eyes of the one..
I've stood here before
I am calling out upon the House of the Lord..
It is time for their eyes to see
Will you listen now?
Can you hear the cries of the child..
Come on child live your dream...
Spread your wings come fly the skies with me...
A child's heart can only take so much
before they run away in fear...
What do you want them to remember you by
a coldness, don't you even care...
Have you forgotten what it means...
Look at my eyes...
Have you hurt me enough to know...
All I did was to say I cared...
I am calling out upon...
I AM CALLING OUT UPON...
I AM CALLING OUT UPON THE HOUSE OF THE LORD!
Why is it they have judged me...
