Oh, these fingers hurt from holding on 
My feet been walking for oh, so long
However thick it gets, feel me I am strong,
And you can’t do no wrong, that I can’t take 
My back won’t break!
It’s the spirit thing y'all, 
Watch [bad word] into the light
See the shine upon my face, 
Walking bold to the newest place.

Believe me, believing in myself,
See me move with stealth 
Told my victory and you must know my wealth!
 [bad word] 
Run into the light, 
Lifting you head to the sky 
Let the sunshine dry your [bad word] into the light, 
Though it may burn you will see,
That again surely set you free!

Though it’s got me pressed,
I’m pushing through this stress,
Watch me stress to meet the need
My future’s what I got to feed. 
And though they’re my heels
I’ll use my wings to fly
I will not be put down
I’ll meet the Heavens high!

And you can’t twist my faith
Faith I had for years
Despite my tears
They are the ray that will make me grow!
 [bad word]  [bad word] into the light, 
Lifting you head to the sky 
Let the sunshine dry your [bad word] into the light, 
Though it may burn you will see,
That again surely set you free!

Cut me gone and into the light
I need the sun in order to fight
For the night might drag me back
I’m not down, I am the black!
Upon whom your hope will stack?
Don’t you see it is a fact
That you can’t hold me back?
You can’t hold me, hey, oh!
 [bad word]  [bad word] into the light,
Lifting you head to the sky 
Let the sunshine dry your [bad word] into the light, 
Though it may burn you will see,
That again surely set you free!
