Because my heart has a song to sing

of life, liberty, and grace.

Because I have a voice to be heard

to spread the word of love and peace.

Because I have knowledge to share

that can be used by all who hear.

Because I can't keep it bottled inside,

I write

     I tell

          I speak.

I know where I've been,

I know what I've become.

I know what is within me,

the potential that I hold.

I desire to share with others

so they can experience too,

the joy that comes with living

and know their prayers come true.

I look around me,

at the chaos and depression.

With the light that I hold dear in life,

I can made a difference!

Because of this,

I write

     I tell

          I speak.

I've been made a witness

of the things I've seen and heard.

I show by my deeds,

and tell others by words

of this life that I lead

with no doubt, worry or fear.

The freedom that I enjoy,

the total peace in life.

Because of this,

I write

     I tell

          I speak.
