The Keys To The Kingdom
By Clyde E. Gumbs

 

Born into a hopeful life

Where so much appears to be unclear

Born into a threatening world

Where so much is based on doubt and fear

 

And as you seek to make your way

Searching for the hidden clues

Hoping that something will be offered

Something of value you can use

 

To have the life you’re born to live

Would certainly be your fondest hope

But in the fog of desperate days

What do you use to cope

 

How often do you use your age

To justify what you should do

How often does “someday” become

The best excuse again for you

 

How often do you live a lie

Forsaking authenticity

How often is your pretense

All you allow yourself to be

 

How often do you disappear

As if there could truly be a place to hide

How often do you waste your life

On things which only uselessness provide

 

How often do you use indulgence

As if self-destruction is your goal

How often do you seek attention

As if others’ validation makes you whole

 

How often are your dreams abandoned

By the you that never really tries

How often do you see yourself

Through other people’s clouded eyes

 

How often do you live your life

Based on what you fear that others think

How often are you paralyzed

As within your doubts and fears you sink

 

But despite apparent hopelessness

Despite no light that you can see

The time has come at last I say

Where you can seize your destiny

 

The life you’ve had is over

You cannot continue in that way

It is time for transformation

I say the caterpillar dies today

 

I am the keys to the kingdom

That is what I was born to be

I can open all the doors for you

I can unlock your destiny

 

I am the keys to the kingdom

With me confusion can not be

I can clear away the endless fog

So that you can clearly see

 

I am the keys to the kingdom

I know who you were born to be

I can offer you the pathway

To fulfill your destiny

 

I am the keys to the kingdom

I stand relentlessly with you

I am your partner in your purpose

No matter what you need to do

 

I am the keys to the kingdom

I can now and always light the way

I can scatter all the demons from your path

On each and every single day

 

I am the keys to the kingdom

The source of unimaginable joy

I can offer you life’s playground

The dream of any girl and boy

 

I am the keys to the kingdom

That is all you ever need to know

I can birth you as a butterfly

And then marvel as you grow
