I Am Important

Dianna Taylor 1958 (Jamaica)

Lyric
You may see me as a little ant and step on me.
You may think that I do not have anything to offer.
You may throw me away like throwing away water.
You may look down on my color, but I am important, because I am made in the likeness of God.

You may think that I cannot sing like an angel.
You may think I am going under but you see I am going over.
I am created in God’s own image, which make me very special.
