Ahead of Them All Lyrics

I hope the sound of my 5am

Doesn't wake you, I want you to sleep in

Just a couple more minutes

Before your feet hit the floor and you begin

You've got no letters following your name

No title given or desk you can claim

But you'll be giving and guiding them on all the day long

We live in a day when the messengers say

The definition of a woman is made

When you own and dominate and climb your way to the top

But you're the antithesis of a thing

No acquisition of self for the schemes of success

That society says you have to possess

Never noticed while you labor in love

Though I know your capabilities are second to none

You're ahead of them all

Mother, wonder, you give life to us all

A designation that destines to fall

On the altar of time and sacrifice

Your beauty is in your depravity

The constellations the depths of the sea

Could never begin to tell of your worth

You're the example for the daughters of men

You're the Eden of the gardens that have ever been

You're ahead of them all

Look how you turned out to be

Look who you turned out to be

You're ahead of them all
