There’s A Promise Over The Mountain

by Ericka J.

There’s a promise over the mountain and I’m going to find it out
Going thru life everyday and not knowing what it’s about
A lesson to be learned every minute, not thinking of taking the time to admit it
     
Want to walk around with blind eyes, hoping that no one can see inside
Inside of me what I’m really about, insecurities, pity, even self doubt
      
There’s a promise over that mountain and I’m going to find it out
I want to acknowledge my full potential without negativity of others coming about
       
To bask in my full velocity, to spread my wings and prosper
To feed my ego plates of integrity, substance, harmony and what ever there after

Wondering on an earth that supplies all I need, a damn shame the one depriving me is me
God placed me here to make my mark, when am I going to take initiative, when am I going to start

I don’t know is all I can say, making excuses to get thru the day

There is a promise over the mountain and I’m going to find it out one day

It’s taking me some time but I’m going to work it out

I have some fears, questions, and like I said some doubt

Up and downs of life play a role in the decisions I make
Everyday drama I wish it would stay away, only if I could focus 100% on me
My life would be so promising, how god intended it to be

Maybe I do need to go to church or just pray a little more
Naw! That wouldn’t make a difference, the next day I’ll be sinning even more

What is the answer to all my troubles, what do I need to do to make it to the next level
There is a plan out there for me, I’m looking for it vigorously

All these men problems,
Live. Love, then death.  Lonely nights, endless hours, bad health
I want to stop it all, I want to love being me 
I want to live a spiritual life make an example for others to see.

Life is so hard or is it just me, there’s a promise over the mountain I’m dying to see

I’m going to make a change; I’m going to do it today
No more making excuses why my life is this way
No more sulking around marching my own pity parade
I’m going to make a change and make it today 

No more men coming into my life and dictating how I am to feel
No more men coming into my life crushing my heart with their heels

No more questioning why people do what they do
No more stressing over my body, I’m just as sexy as you

No more reminiscing on the pain from the past
No more sucking up to anyone, or kissing authorities ass

I’m going to the top of that mountain if it’s the last step I take
I deserve to find out that promise that god made

You see I’ve been talked about taken advantage of, mentally beat down
Promises thrown at me but never seen through, just for the sound

So I deserve to hear this promise that has been made, if I’m in control to find out
Let God lead the way.
