The Gift by Shani

Lyrics:
“I am grateful for the gift…of having songs form from my lips. The talent is not truly mine. It’s been passed down a long time. I am never quite alone. Ancestors follow wherever I roam. They pick me up when I am down… Give me Courage to stand proud. I am grateful for this song. I’ve been grateful all along. I am grateful for the beat…and I am grateful for my feet! I am grateful for my voice… but mostly grateful for the choice. I’ve known I could do this all along… but got distracted by a song! Now I’m learning right from wrong… It’s time for me to carry on… this tradition within me… and my whole family. I’ve waited an awful long time… to finally step into the line… but it’s my time to shine. It’s my time to shine! I sing for lives before mine… It’s my time to shine. All their training… all their time… all their courage & their rhyme… now somehow is mine…mine, it’s my time to shine. It’s my time to shine… It’s my time to shine.
I’ll honor them… with what I do, and live the life… I’m meant to!”
