Kirk Franklin
Ultralight Beam
[Chorus]
I'm tryna keep my faith
We on an ultralight beam
We on an ultralight beam
This is a God's dream
This is a God's dream
This is everything
This is everything

[Verse 1]
Deliver us serenity
Deliver us peace
Deliver us loving
You know we need it
You know we need it
You know we need it
You know I need it
That's why we need you now, oh
Pray for Paris
Pray for the parents
This is a God's dream
This is a God's dream
This is a God's dream

[Chorus]
We on an ultralight beam
We on an ultralight beam
This is a God's dream
This is a God's dream
This is everything
This is everything
[Refrain]
I'm tryna keep my faith
But I'm looking for more
Somewhere I can feel safe
And end my holy war

[Verse 2]
So why send oppression not blessings?
Why, oh why'd you do me wrong?
You persecute the weak
Because it makes you feel so strong
Don't have much strength to fight
So I look to the light
To make these wrongs turn right
Head up high, I look to the light
Hey, 'cause I know that you'll make everything alright
And I know that you'll take good care of your child
Oh, no longer am afraid of the night
'Cause I, I look to light

[Verse 3]
When they come for you, I will shield your name
I will field their questions, I will feel your pain
No one can judge
They don't, they don't know
They don't know
Foot on the Devil's neck 'til it drifted Pangaea
I'm moving all my family from Chatham to Zambia
Treat the demons just like Pam
I mean I mess with your friends, but damn, Gina
I been this way since Arthur was anteater
Now they wanna hit me with the woo wap, the bam
Tryna snap photos of familia
My daughter look just like Sia, you can't see her
You can feel the lyrics, the spirit coming in braille
Tubman of the underground, come and follow the trail
I made Sunday Candy, I'm never going to hell
I meet Kanye West, I'm never going to fail
He said, "Let's do a good ass job with 'Chance 3'"
I hear you gotta sell it to snatch the Grammy
Let's make it so free and the bars so hard
That there ain't no gosh darn part you can't tweet
This is my part, nobody else speak
This is my part, nobody else speak
This little light of mine
Glory be to God, yeah
I'ma make sure that they go where they can't go
If they don't wanna ride I'ma still give them raincoats
Know what God said when he made the first rainbow
Throw it at the end if its not too late for the intro
Oh, I'm just having fun with it
You know that one that was lost
I laugh in my head
'Cause I bet that my ex looking back like a pillar of salt
Eh, they'll flip the script on your ass like Wesley and Spike
You cannot mess with the light
Look at lil' Chano from 79
[Chorus]
We on an ultralight beam
We on an ultralight beam
This is a God's dream
This is a God's dream
This is everything
This is everything

[Refrain]
I'm tryna keep my faith
But I'm looking for more
Somewhere I can feel safe
And end my holy war
