Timothy Welbeck (formerly known as Red Baron) - May You Ever lyrics

[Hook 1] May you ever, sojourn for the truth like Isabella /Be regal the way Michelle does/May you ever, raise up kings like Coretta /Be courageous like Harriet like was/May you ever, be mindful of your worth all of the days you walk the earth/May you ever, may you ever, may you ever [Verse 1] The kink of your hair, the plump of your lip/Is seen as a reason to stare, not a wondrous gift/But no thing compares the circumference of your hips/When all of humanity has come birthed from within/But your hips and your thighs is what they'll stigmatize/Until they go and try to find a perversion of it/Another version of it, like you weren't the first to exist/You hold your head high, never think that you weren't fit/Because, you were designed by the Most High/You reach to new heights standing on the shoulders of giants/Like Mary , Ella , Phyllis , Shirley , Oprah , Rosa and Ida /What I'm trying to tell you is a shero is inside you/And your brilliance is the trait that leads folk to admire you/Your resilience paves the way for those coming behind you/Of a truth, your value is beyond measuring/I hope you know that, walk in it, may you ever be [Hook 2] May you ever, break ground like Venus and Serena/Sing of freedom of Lena/May you ever, inspire like Septima/Bring the fire like Nina/May you ever, be mindful of your worth all of the days you walk the earth/May you ever, may you ever, may you ever [Verse 2] Your laughter is a melody that echoes through my day/That shatters what ever treble bellows above the fray/It makes no matter how it's cleft, or how that treble is based/Your laughter has a means of chasing trouble away/And the chord of its chorus shows what the Lord does/Everyday for us by the measure of His grace/This life is gorgeous, you help to make it that way/It's so important that you know that is more than a saying/More than a phrase we incorporate in parlance/You add so much purpose, so much joy to my day/And as each of your girls grow up into being a woman/No matter what this world comes up with it, your value will never plummet/You're beautiful because what God has placed inside you/Let your character be the trait of what will come to define you/Of a truth, your value is beyond measuring/I always tell you that, walk in it, may you ever be [Hook 3] May you ever, sojourn for the truth like Isabella/Be regal the way Michelle does/May you ever, raise up kings like Coretta/Be courageous like Harriet like was/ May you ever, break ground like Venus and Serena/Sing of freedom of Lena/May you ever, inspire like Septima/Bring the fire like Nina May you ever, sojourn for the truth like Isabella/Be regal the way Michelle does/May you ever, raise up kings like Coretta/Be courageous like Harriet like was/ May you ever, break ground like Venus and Serena/Sing of freedom of Lena/May you ever, inspire like Septima/Bring the fire like Nina//May you ever, be mindful of your worth all of the days you walk the earth/May you ever, may you ever, may you ever
