Proud To Be A Dread by Des’ree

….
….
‘Cos, I’ll be better, I’ll be stronger
For the truth, I know takes longer
I’ve the cunning of the tiger
And the Wisdom of the trees
I won’t be sad, refuse the sorrow
I look forward to tomorrow
I’ll release my anger
‘Cos I’m proud to be a dread
…
…
‘Cos in this life, you have to take a chance
Why else live at all
‘Cos in this life, to climb a mountain
Sometimes expect to fall
‘Cos in this life nothing comes easy
If it does, it has a price
…
…
I’ll release my anger
‘Cos I’m proud to be a dread

‘Cos, I’ll be better, I’ll be stronger
For the truth, I’ll be a seeker
I’ve the cunning of the tiger
And the wisdom of the trees
In my dealings I’ll be honest
To myself I make this promise
