I'm Standing On Wood
Inspired by real ghosts as seen and heard on Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel!
I'm black and proud
Tall
Even when they tried to make me small
I stood up
I fought back
No whips
No chains
Ever broke me down
Cause I'm....
Chorus
I'm standing on wood
On wood
Yeah, I'm standing on wood
White man tried to enslave me
Own me like a dog
But firm I stood my ground
No backing down
When I'm standing on wood
Yeah, on wood
Praise ye lord
I'm still here
And I'm standing on wood
Oppression
Depression
Words cannont bound me
Make of me their prisoner
Cause here on this earth
I am only a body
Only the flesh
This dirt beneath my feet
It is not my soul
Just an illusion
I know where the real me be
And the real me be...
Chorus
I have clawed
I have risen
Up and over
Moved aside mountains of Hell
To reach my Heaven above
The scars remain
Memory and ghost here linger
But it's all good cause I made it still
Despite it all
Everything they did and said
To bend
To break me
It's all good
Cause I'm still here...
Chorus
Strong
Like steel
Past life
My will survives
A part of me goes on
Lives on
To fight another day
No man will I call master
No, not ever again
For I am truely free now
Thank God almighty
Free at last
Flowing like a tiny pond
Someday to make a mighty river
Never been stronger then I am today
Out of the flesh
Into the most holy of ghost
I am
Oh yes I am....
Chorus 2X
