The Esthitude Place

They told us we could not make it
They told us we would not go far in life
They told us we would be quenched along the way
But they were wrong

They told us nobody had ever done it before
They said we would not be able to do it too
They called us stupid; they called us crazy and foolish
But they were wrong

They told us we would need a lot of connections
They told us ‘only the RICH folks can do that’
They told us she would never walk again
But they were wrong

They said we could never receive pardon
They said our sins were way too much
They said His blood was not sufficient to cleanse us
But they were wrong

They didn’t know we are stronger than we look
They didn’t know that we’ve got grit and doggedness
They didn’t know that we will never give up
They didn’t know that a stronger force has got our back

They wanted to bury us
They didn’t know we are seeds
They wanted to electrocute us
They didn’t know we are capacitors
They were wrong

‘Cos though we may not be there yet
We are far from where we used to be
We are a work in progress
We are strong

We are stronger than we look
We’ve got God on our side
We’ve got grit and determination
We are made for MORE.

P.S: Never let anyone look down on you, there is more to who you are than they can see.
