I am so happy to be free
Free to be the woman inside of me
Five foot two, but towering above obstacles far and wide
Lil' mama in stature, but not in the mind
I'm wondrous and loving and soft to the touch
I don't settle for less, but I don't ask for too much
My blackness precedes me, but now my femininity must rule
I love to wear the dress, but I've had to wear the pants and work shoes
I count my blessings; me, him, and ours combined completes our family
Brand new last name, but inside I'm still the "me" that I be.
God, powerful and mighty, done put his kiss on me
Got me floating to the heavens, and I'm blessed and happy!
Long years behind me, no more doubt and no more pain
No longer without knowledge of the future, I can stand the rain.
Appreciated for the child of God I am, no longer have to hide my true soul
And bite my tongue before I speak, and do what I am told
And because God is with us, there's never a need for a harsh word
Husband and Wife should also be best friends; I know that's what we have heard
And so that is how I live: the life I've always imagined has come to be
And the dreams that I've always looked forward to have become my reality.
