GOD DO YOU REMEMBER ME
I am that little black girl playing on the gravel road
I am that same girl holding on to her grandma’s leg
The little black girl that thought she was happy there
God do you remember me
I am the little black girl that was taken to a foreign land
The same girl that missed her grandma so much
She could hardly stop crying
God do you remember me
I am the same little black girl that was sent to an all-white school
The same little girl that they called ugly
The one that froze with no boots and no gloves in the cold winter
God do you remember me
I am the same little black girl who was abused at home
Who fought back for survival
And who men abused, but I am older now
God do you still remember me
I am the same little black girl who was homeless
Who was disregarded by her family
But never forgot that you made her for a purpose
God do you remember me now
I am the same little black girl who graduated
From grade school, high school and college
But never had a graduation ceremony
God do you remember me
I am the same little black girl who married a man
That used and abused her and her children
But I still never gave up hope that you had a purpose for me
God do you remember me
I am the same little black girl who alone fought
To save her children and give them back their lives
And I am still fighting to bring them to you
God can you hear me, I think I heard you once
I am the same little black girl who will never let you go
Who recognizes that you have always had my back
And still waiting for the peace you promised me
God do you remember me
God do you remember me now, that same little black girl
I want to laugh again; I don’t want to cry any more
But God if you remember me
I am still here holding on to you
