I Can March to My Own Beat
Faith has kept me strong
Though it seems my suffering has been long
I always pray for a brighter day
Allowing my heart to lead the way
For my mind sometimes gets clouded
With evil thoughts enshrouding
The light I know that lays within
Exclaiming that I should never pretend
To be someone or something I ain’t
So I go through life with seldom a complaint
But my perfect flaws
Sometimes cause me to pause
Thanking the Lord for my lion heart
Because I do not have it’s paws
Faith keeps me strong
Showing me how to right a wrong
Thus I’ll keep going on
Flawlessly I’ll fight to my drum’s song…
...lub dub...lub dub...until I’m gone.
