Before my feet hit this ground let me listen for purpose-calling my name Reminding myself that not everything said to me is meant for me Let my ears find words that settle in nicely Not just from others, but those that come from these two lips (TULIPS) Before my feet hit this ground, Let me find space for me today To take up as little or as much as I need Show me the safe spaces, not the bullshit faces That will allow all of me to present ourselves Before my feet hit this ground, Let me recognize the fire within me Burning down the old versions of me, and Set fire to the Glowing embers of authentic self Shine bright on my talented steps as I enter into new space, needed grace and my pace Before my feet hit this ground Let me watch for danger Creeping out there, waiting to attack The social media comparisons The hidden agendas and those meaningless meetings Before my feet hit this ground You better get this world ready! To be shook, be questioned, and damn it, to be corrected It aint always about you, world, sometimes, I get to come first! Before my feet hit this ground Remind me, that it does matter, I make a difference And this world is better Because my feet HIT this ground!
