Ready To Take On The World

They say you have presence in the way you stand

I feel it when I hold your hand

Your feet are cemented in the sand

Ready to take on the world

Your mind works differently like the blowing winds

You cleanse me of my sins

Your inner beauty is hidden deep within

Ready to take on the world

When you flash a smile I flat line

But I always come back in time

You've created reason, rhythm and rhyme

Ready to take on the world

I know you get scared and out pours your heart

I saw this in you right from the start

Then you paint a scene with written art

Ready to take on the world

Take out your black book and read them a story

Take them to heaven to see the glory

The rest of the careless army will be sorry

Ready to take on the world

When you dream words wake you from your sleep

Weapon in hand fighting in the streets

Up behind the ignorant you will slowly creep

Ready to take on the world

You rained in my eyes since late last night

Your poetic words are always in sight

You never give in pounding heart will fight

Ready to take on the world

If you hold my hand and walk with me

I will clearly see what you see

If the blind eyes saw like you they would be

Ready to take on the world

At the window I stare at you

Watching you craft voices heard only by few

If the deaf ears only really knew

Ready to take on the world

Planted in the mud you’ve begun to grow

Take in your hands what you have to show

You’re the only one that I know

Ready to take on the world
