Diaspora
Deep roots and fertile soil
Scattered seeds and anointing oil
African dust turned to flesh

Melanin skin and melanin bliss
Wounds to scars
Scars to faith
Faith for healing and faith for today

God, we thank you
We thank you, Jehovah
Bless CASS
Let her continue to be a blessing to her family
You have never ceased with power
So we give you praise and bless you
In Jesus’ name, amen, amen

I’m not where I used to be
‘Cause I know who lives inside of me
I’ll show my scars so all can see
Live my life no apologies

I’m not where I used to be
I’m not where I used to be
I’m not where I used to be
Oh, woah oh

I’m not where I used to be
I’m not where I used to be
I’m not where I used to be
