Head To The Sky
I keep my head to the sky
I'm gonna follow my dreams
On the Lord I rely
Cuz this world is so mean
I keep my head to the sky
No matter what life brings
I have a look in my eyes
Soaring as I flap my wings
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
Dreams transformed to nightmares before my eyes
Friends pulled wool off, revealed wolves in disguise
Many opportunities faced derailment
While leaving the station - Hellish assailment
I was running, then walking, now crippled
My disappointment doubled, now tripled
Saw the darkness, started to wade in it
Led to the cave where I hibernated in
Prepared to die like dogs hiding in the woods
Accepted death, but had one last fight for good
Started slowly, silently speaking scriptures
Purposeful prayer positioned the picture
Looked from another angle, saw the beauty
His image etched in me, understood acutely
Like Lazarus, arise from dead to alive
Rely & trust God, keep my head to the sky
I keep my head to the sky
I'm gonna follow my dreams
On the Lord I rely
Cuz this world is so mean
I keep my head to the sky
No matter what life brings
I have a look in my eyes
Soaring as I flap my wings
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
Arrived in NC with my belongings
Paranoid, afraid, I'm not belonging
Twenty-twelve, PhD, A&T
A year of unemployment, LMC
God promised full scholarship if I went
Landed on campus with teaching assistantship
Studied hard, 1st semester, made the A's
Won the Sloan Fellowship, helped bills get paid
Then won a full fellowship, Title III
All while my brain & faith are rivaling
Major blow, I failed my qualifier
My mind wants to give up & retire
Regrouped, passed exam & the proposal
Now seeing the end, tassels & the robe too
Before my defense, prayed, thanked God on High
Now Trav, PhD, my head to the sky
I keep my head to the sky
I'm gonna follow my dreams
On the Lord I rely
Cuz this world is so mean
I keep my head to the sky
No matter what life brings
I have a look in my eyes
Soaring as I flap my wings
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
I'm gonna follow my dreams
On the Lord I rely
Cuz this world is so mean
I keep my head to the sky
No matter what life brings
I have a look in my eyes
Soaring as I flap my wings
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
To go higher, higher, higher
