Lyrics

I Believe This Belongs to You
Ester Nicholson, Jan Garrett, JD Martin

I once heard a powerful story....About a man who stood in his truth
With such conviction in who he was that he would not be moved
Someone stepped out of a crowd and said, "Are you Martin Luther King?"
He said "Yes I am," and the well-dressed man.....spit on him
Then King took out his handkerchief and wiped the hate from his suit
He gave it back to the man and said, "I believe this belongs to you."

I will lift you up......and do what I can do
I feel your heart, I know your pain, I have been there too
I will hold you high.....while you do what you have to do
But I am clear who is standing here, I believe this belongs to you

I once had a powerful story I used to carry around
I thought it was you all this time that held my spirit down
But now I know the truth of who I came here to be
You are my angel in disguise, and not my enemy
So I thank you for the part you played
In the dance we had to do
I give you back a love that's real
I believe it belongs to you

I will lift you up......and do what I can do
I feel your heart, I see your pain, I have been there too
I will hold you high.....while you do what you have to do
But I am clear who is standing here, I believe this belongs to you

I will lift you up......and do what I can do
I feel your heart, I know your pain, I have been there too
I will hold you high.....while you do what you have to do
I give you back your freedom, I believe it belongs to you

I am clear as we're standing here, I believe this belongs to you
