The green light
Getting the green light.
Doesn't mean, it means well
Just a chance given
The hand directed.
Taken this opportunity
It's not a street light
That's flooded in the community.
Committed to achieve
Not to fear the green in us.
As a tree their is a lean in us
We've leaned toward our leaders
We've leaned toward our elders
The green light isn't just a passing mark
It's our highest interest in which
We've chosen to listen.
Keeping the green light an option
