Analysis of Top
Shinerra Ward 1975 (Tennessee)
I've seen the mountain top. But I dare to tell you.
Climbed long ways of hard knocks as vines wreathed my feet.
But I dare not tell you. cried to the Lord to let me win my race. I've seen the mountain top. Cheers of laughter accommodate the crowd. Just one more round.
