Victory Dance

Should I close my eyes and prophesize, hoping maybe someday come?
Should I wet the ground with my old tears, cryin' over whats been done?
Should I lift the dirt and plant the seed even tho I've never grown?
Should I wet the ground with the sweat from my brown

And believe in my good work?
Hey there, I'm flying up above
Lookin' down on the tired earth
But I can see I can see potential
Speaking through you, speaking to you
From all of heavens possibility
Power, hey do you know how it works?
Hey do you know that the meek, they shall inherit the earth?
But you should work, for the self and the family
Should I hit the water or stay on dry land, even tho I never swam?
Take machete into the brush, though at first there is no path
Taste the warpaint on my tongue as it's drippin' with my sweat
Place my gaze in the futures path, seein' things that aint come yet

Hope to watch the victory dance after the days work is done
Hope to watch the victory dance in the evenings setting sun
Hope to watch the victory dance over many lives to come
Hope to watch the victory dance in the evenings setting sun
Hope to dance the victory dance after the days work is done
Hope to dance the victory dance in the evenings setting sun
Hope to dance the victory dance over many lives to come
Hope to dance the victory dance in the evenings setting sun
