We have yet, another day
From sunrise to sunset
Time to exercise our minds
Another chance to give it our best
Life is fleeting
It can change in the blink of an eye
We must put our best foot forward
In order to reach for the sky
We learn to adapt accordingly
As moments are fleeting
Nothing ever stays the same
With the scenarios that we are receiving
We live day by day
As some situations appear to be brighter
We look towards the sky
And try to reach even higher
We lift and inspire
Teach the kids to reach higher
Be the one who empowers
With every passing hour
Give them words of encouragement
Along with moral support
Encourage them to do their best
And to put themselves to the test
We lift ourselves up
For it is another day
An opportunity to achieve greatness
And provide a spark in every way
We can conquer
We need to give ourselves a chance
In order to get to the next chapter
We must walk across that path
We live our lives
We go forward and conquer
We give it our best always
In order to grow and prosper
Situations will be testy at times
But, we rise to the occasion
We bring about that fierceness
Along with motivation and determination
Well, another year is gone
As we continue along with life
There will be more opportunities
To be in the crusade of light
Always step forward
And rise to the challenge
We broaden our horizons
That is where we find our balance
We may fall off course
But, we rise and try again
Resilience we must show
That is the demeanor we should have my friend
We keep going always
We continue on with our progress
Never ever give up hope
We take a stand and do our best
We may have to go through a maze
That is the challenge that life throws at you
Just climb that ladder
And fight your way through
The lesson is in the struggle
You may descend before your rise
Build up that positive demeanor
And keep your eyes on the prize
We may slip and fall
But, we continue to rise
There is always hope to do better
Together, we keep our eyes on the prize
No one ever said that life would be easy
But, life is worth living
Always put in the effort and energy
Press forward and do good things
We need to teach the youths
On how to succeed
Build them up with courage and dignity
So they can prosper and take heed
Tough love may be on display
Because we want them to do there best
Encourage them to stay on the right path
And aim for excellence
We read and write
For things to go hand in hand
We enrich our minds
In order for us to understand
With each day that passes
We find new ways to educate
We gradually build strength
In order to rise above the gate
We search with care
But, sometimes there is lots of confusion
Darkness rears its ugly head
Along with bitter frustration
We cannot give up hope
We need to move towards the light
The sunshine will appear
Then, we can make things bright
We see and speak
And want everyone to understand
Things are thought-provoking
In this here land
Sometimes messages are cryptic
They are nothing but pieces of a puzzle
If we do not attach them accordingly
We may find ourselves lost in the shuffle
We seek understanding
With every story that we read
We ponder our thoughts
With the information that we receive
Imagination captives us greatly
As we turn the page
Edification is a lifelong process
We enhance our minds and become sage
We start again
At the break of dawn
The sun in shining bright
All across the lawn
Time to rise
And face a new challenge
Add some value to your life
And stabilize your balance
We start a new day
There is yet another chance
For us to better ourselves
To empower and enhance
Opportunity is there
But, we must take charge
It is up to us to sharpen our minds
In order to shine bright as the stars
We start another brand new year
Another chance of opportunities
Time to build on your craft
As you continue on your destiny
No one knows what will happen
That is the unpredictability of life
We rise and shine
Through all of the corruption and strife
We struggle and can hurt sometimes
But, this is where we gain our strength
Withered and in a state of uproar
Our mettles are being put to the test
We as people continue to push harder
And try to make a brighter scenery
We go through that hazardous fire
In order to reach for the victory
We will surge
And lift ourselves up again
The darkness cannot last forever
The phoenix shall rise my friend
Have that strong will
In order to find your purpose
Always rise upward
And stay on course
What an adventure it is
When you face the world alone
You tend to have a big dance with life
You may need to work fingers to the bone
Many challenges you will take on
Some that will cloud your day
Look for brightness in everything
In order for the sunshine to come your way
What has happened here?
You seem to have fallen behind
Get your rhythm back
Move towards the sunshine
Open up those books
And feed your brain
Always stay determined
There is more knowledge for you to gain
What is it that we really see?
When there are nothing but clouds
Lots of ambiguity is in the air
And the silence is sound
We can still find our way
And rise above those potential pitfalls
Life will find a way to test us
This is where we learn to stand tall
What is the point?
If there is no trust or communication
The bond will break
And there will be mass frustration
Nothing but clouded matters
Because words are unspoken
Just open up to one another
To better understand the situation
What is the point?
Girl, haven't you seen enough?
Nothing but lies and manipulation
Why does it have to be rough?
Time after time
As the years go by
Tears are flowing from your face
Then, you are left wondering why
What potency she has
She can now conquer
Always believed in herself
Now she can prosper
Facing all challenges
And rising above travails
Lifting her head proudly
Because she has prevailed
When a door is open
Make great usage of the matter
Visualize being your best
Enshrine your world and be sharper
All of the tools are there
Utilize them properly
Follow through your plan
And execute accordingly
When a loved one passes on
You never really get over the pain
Memories stay fresh in your mind
Sunshine has sadly turned into rain
A very sullen moment
The person must face
The loss of a parent
That no one can replace
When an opportunity presents itself
Take advantage of it
Boost your world immensely
That is the inner spirit
Put yourself in a position
To be a success
Climb that mountain
Just continue to progress
When a person is alone
We tend to hide in a shadow
As a group, we bright out the light
And things do not seem shallow
Be strong and fierce
Let your voice be heard and persevere
Counterpane the garden
And make your words clear
When dark clouds appear
The sadness and pain are there
Those tears start to fall
Because, a person's heart was insincere
No words were spoken
There was nothing but a masquerade
Souls are in a state of uncertainty
All hope has faded
When living in the streets
Your future is uncertain
Anxiety and fear surround you
You are always unsure of what to do
Just a sad state to be in
You are just asking for trouble
Try to find yourself
And hopefully, you can make a move on the double
When she is gone
There will be nothing for you to say
Let's face it
You did not appreciate her anyway
You used and abused her
And played with her heart
Nothing but an acrimonious scene
You have sadly torn her apart
When the baby started crying
You were never there
Nothing but pure negligence
You never really cared
Get your priorities straight
Quit avoiding responsibility
How could you not be there for your child?
What an unpleasant sight to see
When the message has been spoken
We need to open our ears
Words are on display here
Am I making myself abundantly clear?
When a person is alone
They tend to hide behind shadows
But together, as a community
We join forces and learn to grow
When the message is spoken
How many of us really listen?
Awareness is everything
But, we sadly live in a oblivion
We search for truth
And yet, we come up empty
Darkness surrounds us
Filled with corruption and misery
When the night takes over the day
You put the troubles of the time behind
Look forward to tomorrow
Yet, there is another chance for you to shine
Just keep moving upward
Focus on the present moment at hand
Better and brighter days are coming
Make your world grand
When there is a calm after the storm
Tranquility starts to kick in
Anguish and acrimony move to the side
And the sun shines once again
Those clouds filled with darkness
Have been pushed away
Pleasant moments are on the horizon
For clarity is here to stay
When there is obscurity
Darkness fills the room
Clouds with a chaotic scene
Along with sadness and gloom
One often feels despondent
They are in a state of uncertainty
Always feeling unsure
In a world of acrimony
When traveling on the sea
Learn to adjust the sails
As the ship comes about
Eventually, you will prevail
Take time every day
To edify and earn
You have all the energy within
You possess the ability to discern
When we are alone
We may hide ourselves in the shadows and fight
But together
We stand up and move towards the light
One heart and one voice
Just is not strong enough
We as a nation
Need to rise together and be tough
When we do not communicate our feelings clearly
Pain and bitterness sadly walk in
We cannot live in a masquerade
Faces would look sour and grim
Situations are mighty obscure
Dark clouds would appear in the sky
Walls are filled with tension and resentment
As days go on by
When we rise each norning
We face yet, another day
It is another opportunity
To enhance your mind greatly in every way
There are more lessons to learn
By the minute and hour
We take in everything at face value
In order not to flounder
When we teach our children
Encourage them to give it their best
Always uplift and empower
Monitor their progress
Be there for moral support
Have patience and perseverance
Guide them to the right path
Teach the youth to continue with their persistence
When words are left unspoken
Hearts are often broken
You never made yourself clear
Nor, were you sincere
Nothing but a clouded mess
Along with strife and stress
You can no longer take a stand
Because, things have sadly gotten out of hand
When words can not express themselves clearly
Silence is truly golden
Once you speak those words into existence
They can never be forgotten
Keep that tongue still
For it promotes a wise mind
Let your actions speak volumes
Continue to be bright as the sunshine
When you apply yourself properly
You are bound to do better
Open those books and study
Be an inspiration to the world forever
Always enhance your mind
Find ways to take in valuable information
Sprinkle the kindred spirit
Enlighten the situation
When you avoid responsibility
It clearly shows that you do not care
Just open your eyes
You need to be more aware
Opportunity will pass you by
There will be nothing for you to gain
You will lose everything
Things will sadly go down the drain
When you face the world
There will be many obstacles in your way
Just find yourself
Continue to strive for greatness each day
Shine your light
Be bold and legendary
Always have hope
Make usage of every opportunity
When you face the world by yourself
That path that you take may be unclear
Uncertainties will present themselves
You are dealing with a whimsical nature
Let these challenges build you up
Visualize yourself by taking action
Be fierce as you travel along the line
Get on your feet and make things happen
When you feel like giving up
Just push a bit harder
Remember to stay on point
Let the challenge make you sharper
Nothing will come easy
Go through the hazardous fire
You may suffer and struggle
Continue to reach higher
