UP from the Pit of Darkness Climb Rope of Hope, 11-7-2024, real & hope mix v1

Da People dun reduced me to numbers, and I feel small, worthless... **Verse 1:** I only have 50 credits to make my mark, Time is short, my mind wanders in the dark, What is the hour, have I lost my power, Searching for answers, lost in confusion. **Chorus:** Yet I know I will see the light, Amid the darkness, I cling on tight, Holding on to hope like a rope, Pulled up, ya, myself by Help, I cope, My life is more than politics, A journey beyond all the dirty tricks. **Verse 2:** From the dark place I was thrown, Can't shake the mud that clings to my soul, Who can free me from this body of death, I need so many others' help, together we'll take the next step. **Chorus:** Yet I know I can see the light, Amid the darkness, I hold on tight, Clinging to hope like a rope, Pulling and pulled myself up with Help, I cope, My life is more than politics, A journey beyond all the dirty tricks. **Bridge:** I see the Light at the top of this dry well, Maybe now life will be swell, With every struggle, every fight, You and I'll rise again, into the light. **Chorus:** Yet I know I can see the Light, Amid the darkness, I hold on tight, Clinging to hope like a rope, Pulling myself up with help, I cope, My life is more than politics, A journey beyond all the dirty tricks. **Outro:** And as we climb higher, I'll find His Way, With hope and love, I'll join a brighter day, Have all I need to make my mark, Our coming day is so bright, I'll outshine the dark. -- Da people in the dark, sometimes like crabs, they want to pull you back, When they see you make your mark, they pick at your wounded scabs, don't give them any slack. Keep seeking the light, even in the dark of night.
