All You Are

•  
  Cause all you are, is all I want, always
  Yes, yes, uh, yeah
  
  You're so good Lord, uh
  
  Yeah, uh, uh, uh, you're all I want, uh, yeah
  
  You see I been hit with some hard blows but I keep on standing
  When the opposition gets heavy I keep on jabbing
  Cause my towel I ain't just gon' hand in
  I gotta keep advancing, move my feet, keep on dancing
  If life is a test, yes, I'ma keep on cramming
  And if life is a game, I guess I'ma keep on gambling
  But I hate to be misunderstanded, understand this
  He didn't just put us here for just the average
  We were placed here to touch the planet
  To help those dealing with famine to embrace the masses
  So I'ma do everything within my power to meet with the standards
  Even though I'm as big as a man gets
  This racist deficience this is as much as expanses
  Should've been a blind white boy the way that he got me in hands
  And it's enough to leave my mind blown
  He's the only one that I see better whenever my eyes are closed
  
  Cause everything you are is all I want, and all I need
  I gotta stand strong, I gotta proceed
  I gotta keep moving, and I gotta hold tight
  I gotta run the race, and fight the good fight
  
  Cause everything you are is all I want, and all I need
  I gotta stand strong, I gotta proceed
  I gotta keep moving, and I gotta hold tight
  I gotta run the race, and fight the good fight
  
  Cause everything you are is everything I'm not
  So I stop to ruminate on everything I got
  Then I fall back, and sing a lot
  Cause you put a song inside, in this beautiful music, the way the sinners can abide
  In a brokeback mountain of a culture full of have-nots
  Chasing illusions of redemption in a stash box
  I feel it in my chest, I feel it every day
  The way my people relish in the feeling of a penny saved
  Tough to bear it, but there's no eternal merit in things that man made
  Souls full of band aids, trying to shake the pain
  Can't escape the chains
  My knees falter when I'm fed up and expressed as dame
  My little brother's back split I nearly lost my brain
  See the son of God came to give him a name
  Look up and embrace the change
  Tell your friends God mends the broken life
  Not to mention flat lined to rise again
  
  Cause all you are, is all I want, always
  
  Cause everything you are is all I want, and all I need
  I gotta stand strong, I gotta proceed
  I gotta keep moving, and I gotta hold tight
  I gotta run the race, and fight the good fight
  
  Life is a journey, and as I begin on my mission
  I've caught a glimpse of your vision and now my life is in remission
  A little more folks now reaching that broken child
  With words that emerged to heal the hurt I speak them loud
  You've called us tenacious but we've started right here
  And life as we know it needs to change right here
  While some chose to leave I took heed to the call
  In the midst of these storms to my knees will I fall
  These generations damaged, they've been programmed and
  They walking through this world in a spiritual famine
  It's time to examine, take a look at my heart
  Search me father God I want to be where you are
  My praise is genuine I aim it at you daily from the moment of your sunrise back to the moment of your sunset
  Don't fret I say to you your debt's been paid in ways forget your past embrace the change
  
  Cause everything you are is all I want, and all I need
  I gotta stand strong, I gotta proceed
  I gotta keep moving, and I gotta hold tight
  I gotta run the race, and fight the good fight
