sunrise

There was no apology when I got cut from the team

Or when that university said no to all of my dreams

At the time I was crushed and didn’t know God’s trust

All of the shiny awards looked something like lust

Even though I couldn’t, I made sure it was worth it

Just so one day I could say I deserved it

And when I was stripped of everything my body needs

It only made it more true that I was going to succeed

Parents are the ones that always cry

When they’re looking at their sun rise

Photographs show the look in her eye

She will be someone before she dies

Honey, it isn’t a race to show the world grace

God has given you the patience to sit and wait
