[00:43.64]Jesus children
[00:44.67]
[00:46.02]Hello children
[00:47.24]Jesus loves you of America
[00:49.06]
[00:55.19]Are you hearing
[00:56.07]
[00:57.25]What he's saying
[00:58.05]
[00:59.46]Are you feeling
[01:00.27]
[01:01.61]What you're praying
[01:02.43]
[01:04.01]Are you hearing, praying, feeling
[01:06.42]What you say, inside
[01:08.47]
[01:12.05]You better tell
[01:12.96]
[01:15.68]Your story fast
[01:17.22]
[01:21.32]And if you last
[01:22.52]
[01:24.74]It will come to pass
[01:26.34]
[01:49.81]Hello Jesus
[01:51.01]
[01:51.61]Jesus children
[01:52.61]
[01:53.81]Jesus loves you
[01:54.83]
[01:56.04]Jesus children
[01:56.76]
[01:58.42]Hello children
[01:59.17]
[01:59.81]Jesus loves you of America
[02:02.32]
[02:07.53]Are you hearing
[02:08.60]
[02:09.89]What he's saying
[02:10.63]
[02:11.94]Are you feeling
[02:12.71]
[02:14.05]What you're praying
[02:14.99]
[02:16.03]Are you hearing, praying, feeling
[02:18.60]
[02:19.27]What you say, inside
[02:21.87]
[02:24.54]You better tell
[02:25.56]
[02:28.02]Your story fast
[02:29.61]
[02:33.49]And if you last
[02:34.99]
[02:37.21]It will come to pass
[02:39.10]
[02:42.98]You better tell
[02:43.85]
[02:46.09]Your story fast
[02:47.75]
[02:51.59]And if you last
[02:52.53]
[02:55.30]It will come to pass
[02:56.98]
[03:02.38]Cries of young lives sing silly songs of laughter in the life after
[03:06.29]Hurt, ego, and misguided pride which lead to lies the soul can no longer stand to bear
[03:11.29]
[03:12.68]But I see twenty children standing there beaming bright in angel light as they take flight
[03:18.90]
[03:19.71]Together they smile the type sunlight that makes the devil backtrack into his lair
[03:24.31]
[03:24.96]Yeah, these young souls are soothsayers, spiritual players
[03:28.46]
[03:29.13]Accelerated graduators of this game called life
[03:31.57]
[03:32.96]Spitting sixteens making Biggie breakdance and Frankie seem like Lalah's dad
[03:38.13]With ten thousand other souls watching true love withhold nothing
[03:42.15]
[03:47.30]And through dried tears we will spend the next few years silently screaming "why"
[03:52.13]
[03:53.18]Until we realize that their spiritual awakening already understood their undertaking
[03:57.41]
[03:58.13]Of the moment they appeared in the womb playing Romper Room
[04:01.21]Creating heated debates that should have been sparked sooner than the dark hell of December 2012
[04:06.30]
[04:06.98]And now, now, now they dance the story of masters much faster t
[04:15.67]han the polygamous pastor can tell a lie
[04:18.31]Faster than you can wipe from your eyes the soot of deceit
[04:22.02]No, these kids dance the story that tells us to delete the feeling of being incomplete from our consciousness
[04:27.43]
[04:28.29]To let these six and seven year olds take a hold of our consciousness
[04:32.29]To remind us to laugh, scream, and let our inner child fly
[04:37.16]Higher than deferred dreams seldom seen
[04:39.49]Through the lens of love and gratitude, let's give our children love and gratitude
[04:46.59]
[04:48.69]Fly high
[04:50.31]
[04:53.55]Shine, and fly high
[04:54.85]
