Little black boy

So tall and strong

God won’t steer you wrong

You are a gift from God

Let’s offer a wink and nod

You have a wonderful presence

As well as essence

When life follows you

God carries you through

You run your race

In a very special place

God set your life in stone

He won’t leave you alone

Just hang on His word

Cause it deserves to be heard

Whenever you fall

God answers your call

God knows what you can take

He never makes a mistake

Your purpose is clear

So, there’s nothing to fear

Build the dreams

That make you burst at the seams

Ignore your naysayers

As you say your prayers

You are something pure

Faith makes you feel secure

You fill earth to the core

Before God offers you more

Enjoy every moment of pleasure

Beyond all measure

As you stand

You hold God’s hand

Let your light shine

Cause everything is fine

God holds you close

Cause you matter most

You remember who you are

As you reach for a star

You share what you know

As you continue to grow

Earth feels your power

Hour after hour

You are a joy
