I got fire in my step

I got heat in my walk

There's a leap in my step

There's a heap of love

Cause all I am is in what I am

Yeah I hear sound but its not

moving me

Yeah I hear noise but its

not stopping me

Cause I hear what I want to hear

I got fire in my step

I got heat in my walk

There's a leap in my step

There's a heap of love

Cause all I am is in what I am

I see mountains in my way

I see valleys in my walk

I'm not afraid to climb

I'm not afraid to walk

I got fire in my step

I got heat in my walk

There's a leap in my step

There's a heap of love

Cause all I am is in what I am

Sometimes I hurt over names

Sometimes I hurt over things

but I stand up tall, taller

than any giant to suppress the oppressors

I got fire in my step

I got heat in my walk

There's a leap in my step

There's a heap of love

Cause all I am is in what I am

You will hear me, you don't

have to fear me.

You will see me, you don't

have to like me

Every twist and turn is a

new beginning, a brand new day for me
