The Power Within

Life has many trials
Many paths that you must choose
Life has many hurts
Many people you will lose

Only when you have traveled
The paths of life yourself
Do you realize who you are
That only you can be your help

I have traveled many such roads
When I was younger and now again
Some of them I chose myself
Some were forced by the power within

Its makes no difference where you are
Or who you think you may be
Life has a trial for you
To test your strength, you inner ability

Take a hold of your power within
The Power to have faith and pray
For it is that power that will sustain
To get you through each day

Our ancestors prayed the prayer of faith
And it is still covering you even now
They knew you would reach this point
So do not bend, neither bow

The Power within is stronger than any power you will know
Because our people fought and died for it so many years ago.
