"Fine With ME"

I am the grass growing tall and free

With every breeze My seeds run free

Spreading across fields and streams

I know what it means to dream

You have come to cut Me down...

That's fine with Me...

For I am no longer the grass -- I am now a tree

Roots as strong as "Black History"

Leaves blowing and growing rising high in the sky

Knowing that one-day I will fly

Gaining the "Knowledge" that will set Me free

What is this I see -- you have axes coming towards Me...

That's fine with Me...

For I am no longer a tree

I am a Black Bird soaring high in the sky

Rising with a burning desire

I can see no bonds to hold Me down

I can soar above the trees -- flying high and free

You have thrown a net over Me

Caged Me, chained Me, clipped My wings

Trying to keep Me from reaching My "Dreams"

That's fine with Me...

To late you see

I am no longer a Black Bird flying free

I am the "SUN - bright and shining"

I have conquered all that I see

Nothing you do can take the light from Me

I have risen above you

I no longer live under your rule

Notice the shine from me it is "BLINDING"

I have conquered all My fears

I am the "”African-American" -- I am here.
