My Time

Finally it is my time, my season My day has come and I am the reason So just step out of my way This is my time, my day I have labored and worked hard When things got rough, I talked to the Lord He paid all my dues and canceled my debts And even now, He's not through with me yet So I know I am here today, because of His love Because of His mercy and grace from above I know that I am His creation A descendant of an enslaved but strong generation I am not a nobody because of man's disaster I was wonderfully created by the Master Because of a dark past, I shall not be hindered Among those defeated, I shall not be numbered I am strong and I can endure to the end I refuse to be defeated, for on me it depends I am strong, determined and I am black Everything that was taken from me, I am taking back You took my pride, and even my dignity Tried to destroy my mind and decide my destiny I am reaching and I am reaching for the sky Now it is my time to spread my wings and fly
