Midway
by Noomi Long Modgett
I've come this for to freedom and I won't turn back
I'm climbing to the highway from my old dirt track
I'm coming and I'm going
And I'm stretching and I'm growing
And I'll reap what I've been sowing or my skin's not block
I've proyed and slaved and waited and I've sung my song
You've bled me and you've storved me but I've still grown strong
You've lashed me and you've treed me
And you've everything but freed me
But in time you'll know you need me and it won't be long,
I've seen the daylight breaking high above the bough
I've found my destination and I've made my vow,
So whether you other me
Ordonde me or ignore me
Mighty mountains loom before me and I won't stop now.
