When I think about the turn my life has taken
I know it's because of you, that I receive so many blessings I had a home but no privacy, I didn't know a thing about my legacy When I realized you were there for me, I called on your name and you came And you did, just what you said, for that I'll love you forever You kept, your word to me, for that I'll love you forever * A promise, is a promise in my eyes Can't say you're gonna just to compromise The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old Blessed with a mother who loved him so, she abandoned her dreams to nourish his own It wasn't easy for the two of them, but she knew she had to give him a chance At a better life, it was only right, so she worked and she prayed And she did, just what she say, for that he'll love her forever She kept her word to him, for that he'll love her forever * Repeat A man's only as good as his word Her wedding day and she's thinking 'bout the way he won her affection She was so cynical about love 'cause she didn't want to be heart broken again He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so she Took a chance on him and she's glad she did because he came for real And he did, just what he said, for that she'll love him forever He kept his word to her, for that she'll love him forever * Repeat No way, there ain't no way A man's only as good as his word |

You're like a cool breeze, on a summer's day
You are a river running through the desert plain You are my shelter, from the pouring rain You were my comfort, even before the pain I can hear the sound of five drummers in the wind The leaves blowing in the breeze, ring out like guitars A tin can rolls across the gravel like a tambourine I am but a vessel, so I sing, because you are In my head, you're always in my head In my dreams, you're always in my head In my pain, you're always in my head In my peace, you're always in my head A rainbow of rhythm stretches across the sky An airplane in the distance, plays a beautiful cello line It's no coincidence; it's in tune with the music in my head If you were a shoulder you're where I would rest, but I am your vessel so I hear, you In my head,you're always in my head In my fears,you're always in my head In my joy,you're always in my head In my tears, you're always in my head You're like a cool breeze, on a summer's day You are a river, running through a desert plain You've been my shelter, from the pouring rain You were my comfort, even before the pain:'cause I hear you In my head, you're always in my head In my dreams, you're always in my head In my pain, you're always in my head In my peace, you're always in my head In my head,you're always in my head In my fears, you're always in my head In my joy, you're always in my head In my tears, you're always in my head |

lalalalalala la ah~ lalalalalala woo~woo~ I remember the first day I met you we were so young you were a blessing and there was no guessing you were the one Love is so crazy We had a baby and said our vows That's when you told me should anything happen I can hear you now You told me if the (반복) sun comes up and I'm not home be strong If I'm not beside you Do your best to carry on Tell the kids about me when they're old enough to understand tell them that their daddy was a good man lalalalalala la dda~ah First anniversary remember we chose a star And as i stand i'm afraid I can't help but wonder if You see it where you are For whatever reason You don't see the seasons Change again Go there with peace of mind We'll meet on the otherside Cause true Love don't end and baby lalalalalala uh~ lalalalalala uh~~!~ Two eyes looking up at me Pointing to a picture like where is he Mamma are you OK What did the paper say To make you cry that way it said your Daddy lived for you and your daddy died for me and I'll do the same |

One shot to your heart without breaking your skin
No one has the power to hurt you like your kin Kept it inside, didn't tell no one else Didn't even wanna admit it to yourself And now it just burns in your backaches From 15 years of holding the pain And now you only have yourself to blame If you continue to live this way [Chorus:] Get it together You wanna heal your body You have to heal your heart Whatsoever is so you will reap Get it together You can fly fly Talk future ahead of me That's what they say I'd be starving if I ate all the lies they fake Cause I've been redeemed from your anguish and pain A miracle child I'm floating on the clouds Cause the words that come from your mouth You're the first to hear Speak of words of beauty and you will be there No matter what he devices What matters is matters what you think of yourself [Chorus] Get it together You wanna heal your body You have to heal your heart Whatsoever is so you will reap Get it together The choice is yours No matter what it is To choose life is to choose to forgive You don't have to try To hurt him and break his pride To shake that weight off And you will be ready to fly One shot to your heart without breaking your skin No one has the power to hurt you like your friends Thought it will never change but this time moved on An ugly duckling grew up to be a swan And now it just burns in your backaches Because now beads are showing upon your face But you're never really happy And you never behold Until you see the beauty in growing hope [Chorus] Get it together You wanna heal your body You have to heal your heart Whatsoever is so you will reap Get it together |

I am ready for love
Why are you hiding from me I"d quickly give my freedom To be held in your captivity I am ready for love All of the joy and the pain And all the time that it takes Just to stay in your good grace Lately I"ve been thinking Maybe you"re not ready for me Maybe you think I need to learn maturity They say watch what you ask for Cause you might receive But if you ask me tomorrow I"ll say the same thing I am ready for love Would you please lend me your ear? I promise I won"t complain I just need you to acknowledge I am here If you give me half a chance I"ll prove this to you I will be patience, kind, faithful and true To a man who loves music A man who loves art Respect"s the spirit world And thinks with his heart I am ready for love If you"ll take me in your hands I will learn what you teach And do the best that I can I am ready for love Here with a offering of My voice My Eyes My soul My mind Tell me what is enough To prove I am ready for love I am ready |

Time... I've been passing time watching trains go by All of my life...Lying on the sand, watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be Someone waiting home for me... Something's telling me it might be you It's telling me it might be you... All of my life... Looking back as lovers go walking past...All of my life Wondering how they met and what makes it last If I found the place Would I recognize the face? Something's telling me it might be you Yeah, it's telling me it might be you So many quiet walks to take So many dreams to wake And we've so much love to make I think we're gonna need some time Maybe all we need is time...And it's telling me it might be you All of my life... I've been saving love songs and lullabies And there's so much more No one's ever heard before... Something's telling me it might be you Yeah, it's telling me it must be you And I'm feeling it'll just be you All of my life... It's you..It's you... I've been waiting for all of my life... Maybe it's you... Maybe it's you... I've been waiting for all of my life... Maybe it's you... Maybe it's you... I've been waiting for all of my life... Repeat to fade... A Whole New World Lyrics I can show you the world Shining, shimmering, splendid Tell me, princess now when did you last let your heart decide? I can open your eyes Take you wonder by wonder Over, sideways and under On a magic carpet ride A whole new world A new fantastic point of view No one to tell us no Or where to go Or say we're only dreaming A whole new world A dazzling place I never knew But when I'm up here It's crystal clear That now I'm in a whole new world with you Now I'm in a whole new world with you Unbelievable sights Indescribable feeling Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling Through an endless diamond sky A whole new world |

The physical can be so blind In my eyes The innocent can be so wise It's not about black or white This is wrong or right Can you take a stranger And treat him like your stranger Love don't start with the eyes Starts with the heart Look deep down inside In all that you have a chance To make a choice, to make a change So make the choice to look with the eyes of your heart Close your eyes The light of love will lead the way In the eyes of a child We're all the same If we're all God's children The logic is so simple The one you call stranger is really your brother Love don't start with the eyes Starts with the heart Look deep down inside In all that you have a chance To make a choice, to make a change So make the choice to look with the eyes of your heart No I don't mean to preach Some may say that it's unrealistic Cause none of us is perfect But the way that I say it What do you just try to see with different eyes Could you see that what is done to you is done to me? We want humanity yeah Oh, love don't start with the eyes Starts with the heart Look deep down inside In all that you have a chance To make a choice, to make a change So make the choice to look with the eyes of... Love don't start with the eyes Starts with the heart Look deep down inside You have the chance To make a choice, to make a change So take the chance To make a choice, to make a change So make the choice to look with the eyes of your heart |

Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't Depend of how the wind blows I might even paint my toes It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul * I’m not the average girl from your video And I ain’t built like a supermodel But I learned to love myself unconditionally, Because I am a queen I not the average girl from your video My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes No matter what I’m wearing I will always be India.Arie When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me Every freckle on my face is where it’s suppose to be And I know my creator didn’t make no mistakes on me My feet, my thighs, my Lips, my eyes, I’m loving what I see * Repeat Am I less of a lady if I don't where panty hose My momma said a lady ain't what she wears but what she knows… But I've drawn the conclusion, it's all an illusion Confusion's the name of the game A misconception, a vast deception, Something got to change Now don't be offended this is all my opinion Ain't nothing that I'm saying law This is a true confession Of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share with y'all So get in when you fit in Go on and shine Clear your mind Now's the time Put your salt on the shelf Go on and love yourself 'Cause everything's gonna be alright * Repeat Out Keep your fancy drink, and your expensive minks I don’t need that to have a good time Keep your expensive cars and your caviar All’s I need is my guitar Keep your crystal and your pistol I’d rather have a pretty piece of crystal Don’t need you silicone, I prefer my own What god gave me is just fine… * Repeat |

She is, twenty five, spent over half of her life
So afraid to speak her mind, it's such a shame 'Cause what a brilliant mind she has And now she's been introduced to confidence She doesn't see, that she is bordering on arrogance When will she learn, to come back to the middle He is, a young black man, grew up without his father And now it falls into his hands, to protect his mother 'Cause if he doesn't, well then who will, his older brother lives in fear Of everything, especially, trying to fill his father's shoes Respectively, they go to extremes, of masculine and feminine Chasing dreams, but they keep on falling 'Cause they don't know no balance When will they learn, to come back to the middle You must take the good with the bad, and you might hit the wall Sometimes you'll fly and sometimes you'll fall There isn't any way, to avoid the pain But it's getting burned, that's how you will learn To come back to the middle Needing to protect your self now that is just a part of life If you let your fears keep you from flying, you will never reach your height To get to the top you must come back to the middle When will we learn, to come back to the middle Come back to the middle, Come back to the middle Don't make no mind about falling down 'Cause it's when you're in that valley You can see both sides more clearly Come back to the middle |

Chorus Can you be a part of my life? Can you be a part of my life? Oh it? easy to find some one to play with And almost anyone will do to fill your idle time But that very special someone, you can share all your dreams with is so hard to find And it use to be like me to settle for the physical But these days it ain? too easy to make up my mind Cause apparently you body just to temporally to take up my precious time See I?e got to know that That I can be free with you and You?e got to show that That you?e worthy of my time Can you stimulate my mind?

So far from where I started out So far from where I wanna be Listening for answers in the wind But can't find a rock to plant my feet Looking for love in all the wrong places Down on my knees and now I'm praying for patience I know there's gotta be a better way In the back of my mind I hear my momma say Slow down, Baby you're going too fast You got you hands in the air With you feet on the gas You're 'bout to wreck your future Running from your past You need to slow down before You go down baby Thinking the faster that I go The faster (that) I will reach my goal The race is not given to the swift But to the one who endureth I thought that all my obstacles were behind me Walking around like I'm made out of diamond I tripped and fell and it remindedme Move over and let my angels guideme Slow down, Baby you're going too fast You got you hands in the air With you feet on the gas You're 'bout to wreck your future Running from your past You need to slow down before You go down baby Sometimes you gotta be still Before you can get ahead Be still Ask the universe for help Be real You can't do it all by yourself Ah, no no Sometimes, sometimes you gotta be still It take some time to reach you and they Be still Take some time to clear your space Be real Chaos isn't good for your health Ah, no no, ahhh Cuz I'm breaking things and losing things I lost my cell phone again the other day Now, I don't wanna live this way, no In the back of my mind I hear my mama say Slow down, Baby you're going too fast You got you hands in the air With you feet on the gas You're 'bout to wreck your future Running from your past You need to slow down before You go down baby (Slow down baby) Slow down (baby) You're going too fast Slow down (baby) Feet on the gas Slow down (baby) Run from your past Slow down baby (4x) |

The Truth
by India Arie Let me tell you why I love him 'Cause he is the truth Said he is so real And I love the way that he makes me feel And if I am a reflection of him Then I must be fly Cause his light, it shines so bright I wouldn't lie, no I remember the very first day that I saw him I found myself immediately intrigued by him It's almost like I knew this man from another life Like back then maybe I was his husband Maybe he was my wife And even the things I don't like about him are fine with me 'Cause it's not hard for me to understand him 'Cause he's so much like me And it's truly my pleasure to share his company And I know it's God's gift to breathe the air he breathes 'Cause he is the truth Said he is so real And I love the way that he makes me feel And if I am a reflection of him Then I must be fly Because his light, it shines so bright I wouldn't lie, no Oh.. How can the same man that makes me so mad (do you know what he did??) Turn right around and kiss me so soft (girl, you know what he did?) If he ever left me I wouldn't even be sad, no 'Cause there's a blessing in every lesson And I'm glad that I know him at all 'Cause he is the truth Said he is so real And I love the way that he makes me feel And if I am a reflection of him Then I must be fly Because his light, it shines so bright I love the way he speaks I love the way he thinks I love the way that he treats his mama I love that gap in between his teeth Love him in every way that a woman can love a man From personal To universal But most of all it's unconditional You know what I'm talking about? That's the way I feel And I always will There ain't no substitute for the truth Either it is or it isn't 'Cause he is the truth You see the truth it needs no proof Either it is or it isn't 'Cause he is the truth And you know the truth by the way it feels And if I am a reflection of him Then I must be fly Because he is, yes he is (fly, light, bright) I wonder does he know |

One shot to your heart without breaking your skin
No one has the power to hurt you like your kin Kept it inside, didn't tell no one else Didn't even wanna admit it to yourself And now it just burns in your backaches From 15 years of holding the pain And now you only have yourself to blame If you continue to live this way *Get it together You wanna heal your body You have to heal your heart Whatsoever is so you will reap Get it together You can fly fly Talk future ahead of me That's what they say I'd be starving if I ate all the lies they fake Cause I've been redeemed from your anguish and pain A miracle child I'm floating on the clouds Cause the words that come from your mouth You're the first to hear Speak of words of beauty and you will be there No matter what he devices What matters is matters what you think of yourself * Repeat The choice is yours No matter what it is To choose life is to choose to forgive You don't have to try To hurt him and break his pride To shake that weight off And you will be ready to fly One shot to your heart without breaking your skin No one has the power to hurt you like your friends Thought it will never change but this time moved on An ugly duckling grew up to be a swan And now it just burns in your backaches Because now beads are showing upon your face But you're never really happy And you never behold Until you see the beauty in growing hope * Repeat |

Chorus: Headed in the right direction, I can see the light of day. I've got love as my connection, there's an angel showing me the way. Been reaching for love all my life. 1 couldn't find it, always one step behind it. Now I know it was mine all the time. Finally I am... Chorus: Headed In the right direction, I can see the light of day. I've got love as my connection, there's an angel showing me the way. I spend so much time with my head in the clouds. Now that I've got my feel on the ground, I found that 1 am... Chorus: Headed in the right direction, I can see the light of day. I've got faith and intuition telling me that I will be okay. Down the path that I walked here was eyes. Somebody told me that I look like I'm glowing. They just dried all the tears from my eyes... now I can see that... Chorus: Headed in the right direction, I can see the light of day, now I've found my pearl of wisdom, there's no need for me to be afraid. Headed in the right direction. There's an angel showing me the way. Headed in the right direction, 1 have found my inspiration. Headed in the right direction |

India Arie - God Is Real
The sweetest honey to the brightest flower. The largest planet to the smallest atom. Snowflakes and the bird kingdom. Smaller than the eye can see, bigger than the mind can conceive. Heard a man on the radio today... (Spoken) I mean I'm not going to believe in anything that I can't see and I've been through a lot of hardships in my life, ya know, ya know in my life. Must confess I disagreed with what he had to say. How could he not believe that God is real? don't understand how he could feel that way. When there's earth. air. water and fire. So many different flowers, sunshine and rain showers. So many different crystals, and hills and volcanoes. Chorus: That's how I know that God is real All of this is not by chance That's how I know God is real All of this is not by chances That's how I know God is real I know this is not by chance That's how I know God is real That's how 1 know God is real In St. Lucia I jumped Into the water (Spoken) It was like I was seeing for the first time. It literally changed my life. For the first time, I understood its power. As 1 swam I was cleansed. If I had any doubts, this experience cleared them. Now I know for sure that God is real. I know it's the truth, by the way it feels Cause' I saw starfish and sponges, fish shaped like trumpets, so many different colors I stayed out there for hours and I only saw a fraction of a fraction of the deepest of the deep of the great blue wide; it brought a tear to my eye. We're made of the same stuff as the moon and the stars. The oceans saltwater just like my tears are, you feel me? The sun rises and sets everyday without fail. Chorus: That's how I know that God is real All of this is not by chance That's how I know God is real All of this is not by chance That's how I know God is real I know this is not by chance That's how I know God is real That's how I know God is real |

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear But I knew that it would come An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone She said you found someone And I thought of all the bad luck, And all the struggles we went through How I lost me and you lost you What are these voices outside love's open door Make us throw off our contentment And beg for something more? I've been learning to live without you now But I miss you sometimes The more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore These times are so uncertain There's a yearning undefined And people filled with rage We all need a little tenderness How can love survive in such a graceless age And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness They're the very things we kill, I guess Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms And the work they put between us, You know it doesn't keep us warm I've been trying to live without you now But I miss you, baby The more I know, the less I understand And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter But my will gets weak And my heart is so shattered But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore All the people in your life who've come and gone They let you down, you know they hurt your pride Better put it all behind you cause life goes on You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside I wanna be happily everafter And my heart is so shattered But I know it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter Because the flesh will get weak And the ashes will scatter So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if you don't love me anymore Even if you don't love me anymore |

There's hope [Verse 1:] Back when I had a little I thought that I needed a lot A little was over rated, but a lot was a little too complicated You see-Zero didn't satisfy me A million didn't make me happy That's when I learned a lesson That it's all about your perception Hey-are you a papa or a superstar So you act, so you feel, so you are It ain't about the size of your car It's about the size of the faith in your heart [Chorus:] There's hope It doesn't cost a thing to smile You don't have to pay to laugh You better thank God for that [repeat] [Verse 2:] Off in the back country of Brazil A met a young brotha that made me feel That I could accomplish anything. You see just like me he wanted to sing He had no windows and no doors He lived a simple life and was extremely poor On top of all of that he had no eye sight, but that didn't keep him from seein' the light He said, what's it like in the USA, and all I did was complain He said-livin' here is paridise He taught me paridise is in your mind You know that |

Too much hypocrisy in this old southern town for me Way back in 1619 began this tragic story Thrown into slavery the crime was the color of skin Never to see the light of the past again I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song I wanna go where the rivers run deep enough to drown my shame I wanna go where the stars shine bright enough to show me the way I wanna go where the wind calls my name The wind is calling India India India It's a typical Savannah day So I take my guitar to the park and I play Sitting up under the live oak tree The strangest feeling came over me Is this the tree where my brother was hung? Is this the ground where is body was burnt? God gave to me the gift of song so I dedicate this one I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song I wanna go where the rivers run deep enough to drown my shame I wanna go where the stars shine bright enough to show me the way I wanna go where the wind calls my name The wind is calling India India India Superiority, who have you better than me Wasting precious time on racist mentality This is only the beginning because we'll be pushing up daisies in the ending Spirit knows no color either you're a hater or a lover I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song I wanna go where the rivers run deep enough to drown my shame I wanna go where the stars shine bright enough to show me the way I wanna go where the wind calls my name The wind is calling India India India |

Wings of Forgiveness I just want you to know After everything that we've been through I just want you to know That I still love you Had to go Across the water Just to find What was here in my heart all along Spend so much time Trying to be right That I was dead wrong If Nelson Mandela can forgive his oppressors Surely I can forgive you for your passion Chorus1 : You're only human Let's shake free this gravity of resentment And fly high, and fly high You're only human Let's shake free this gravity of judgment And fly high on the wings of forgiveness Had to run To the arms of curiosity Just to find What was here in my life all along I had found that the art of simplicity Simply means making peace of your complexity If Gandhi can forgive persecution Surely you can forgive me for being so petty Chorus1 I've searched for romance Flowers and affection What I found is a lesson Of what love really is Found the game of love is Not about how much you can take In fact authentic love is about How much you can give Chorus2 : After everything that we've been through I just want you to know That I still love you I want you to know That I forgive you (thank you for teaching how to give) And I wanna let you know how much you changed my life I wanna let you know you taught me how to fly And I wrote this song to tell you this I'm better cuz you taught me how to give I took a swim In the sea of guilt and misery To find myself in an island In the middle of nowhere In my solitude I asked to know the highest truth And what I was told Is to let own self be true If Jesus can forgive crucifixion Surely we can survive and find resolution Let's keep it moving Let's shake free this gravity of resentment And fly high, and fly high Chorus1 Chorus2 I still love you I want you to know I still love you Want you to know I still love you (And I always will love you) And I wanna let you know I forgive you I wanna let you know That I still love you Want you to know I still love you I just want you to know I still love you Want you to know I still love you Want you to know I still love you And I wanna let you know I forgive you I wanna let you know I still love you |

Goodbye summer I hate to see you go; I wasn't ready for the Autumn wind to blow. So lonely. We had a fine time time holding hands in June. Warm in the sunshine watching loving bloom. Where are you now? My heart is frozen in this place. Waiting for another summer's day; to bring you back my way. Hello winter watch the swirling snow. I didn't have a blanket for the cold. So lonely now. My heart is frozen in this place. Waiting for another summer's day to bring you back my way. I'd be waiting under the pappa tree. Anticipating, when you come back me in the spring. Hello summer a kiss from my old friend. Been such a long time tell me how you've been. So lonely now yeah. My heart is frozen in this place. Waiting for another summers day; to bring you back my way. Hello summer I hate to see you go. |

India Arie - Get It Together
One shot to your heart without breaking your skin. No one has the power to hurt you life your kin. Kept it inside didn't tell no one else, didn't even want to admit to yourself. And now your chest burns and your backaches, from fifteen years of holding the pain. And now you'll only have yourself to blame if you continue to live this way. Chorus: Get it together, you have to heal your body. Get it together you have to heal your heart. Whatsoever you so sow you will reap, Get it together. Dark future ahead of me that's what they said. I'd be starving if I ate al the lies they fed. Cause' I've been redeemed from your anguish and pain, a miracle child, I'm floating on a cloud. Cause' the wards that come from your mouth, you're the first to hear... Speak words of beauty ad you will be there. Na matter what anybody says what matters most is what you think of yourself. Chorus:Get it together, you have to heal your body. Get it together you have to heal your heart. Whatsoever you so sow you will reap, Get it together. The choice is yours, don't matter what it is. To choice life... is to choice to forgive. You don't have to try and hurt him, or break his pride... Just shake that weight off and you'll be ready to fly. One shot to your heart without breaking your skin, no one has the power to hurt you like your friends. Thought it would never change, but as time moved on, that ugly duckling grew up to be a swan. And now your chest hurts and your back aches because now the years are showing up on your face. But you'll never be happy and you'll never be whole until you see the beauty in growing old. Chorus:Get it together, you have to heal your body. Get it together you have to heal your heart. Whatsoever you so sow you will reap, Get it together. You can fly, fly, fly, fly You can live or you can die You know that life is a choice you make You can give or you can take |

"I Choose" Because you never know where life is gonna take you and you can't change where you've been. But today, I have the opportunity to choose. [Verse 1:] Here am I now looking at 30 and I got so much to say. I gotta get this off of my chest, I gotta let it go today. I was always too concerned about what everybody would think. But I can't live for everybody, I gotta live my life for me.(Yeah) I pitched a fork in the road of my life and ain't nothing gonna happen unless I decide. [Chorus:] (And I choose) to be the best that I can be. (I choose) to be authentic in everything I do. My past don't dictate who I am. I choose. (Yeah) [Verse 2:] I done been through some painful things I thought that I would never make it through. Filled up with shame from the top of my head to the soles of my shoes. I put myself in so many chaotic circumstances, but by the grace of God I've been given so many second chances. But today I decided to let it all go. I'm dropping these bags, I'm making room for my joy. [Chorus:] (And I choose) to be the best that I can be. (I choose) to be authentic in everything I do. My past don't dictate who I am. I choose. [Bridge:] Because you never know where life is gonna take you and you can't change where you've been. But today, I have the opportunity to choose. (Hey ey) I used to have guilt about why things happen they way they did cuz life is gone do what it do. And everyday, I have the opportunity to choose. [Verse 3:] From this day forward I'm going to be exactly who I am. I don't need to change the way that I live just to get a man. (NO!) I even had a talk with my mama and I told her the day I'm grown, "from this day forward, every decision I make will be my own." And hey! [Chorus:] (And I choose) to be the best that I can be. (I choose) to be courageous in everything I do. My past don't dictate who I am. I choose. (And I choose) to be the best that I can be. (I choose) to be authentic in everything I do.

I`ve achieved so much in life, 삶 속에서 많은 것을 이뤄왔다고 생각하지만 but I`m an amateur in love 아직도 사랑에 있어서는 아마추어일 뿐이죠. My bank account is doing just fine 은행잔고는 그럭저럭 괜찮지만, but my emotions are bankrupt 내 감정은 파산 한것처럼 메말랐어요. My body is nice and strong 내 몸은 강하고 멋지지만, but my heart is in a million pieces 내 마음은 산산조각이 났네요. When the sun is shining so am I 해가 떠오를때면 나도 함께 떠오르지만 but when night falls, so do my tears 밤이 내리면 내 눈물도 같이 떨어지네요. Sometimes the beat is so loud in my heart 때로는 고통의 소리가 너무 커서 that I can barely tell the voices apart 내 목소리 조차 들리지가 않아요. Sometimes the fear is so loud in my head 때로는 두려움의 소리가 내 머릿속을 울려서 that I can barely hear what God says 그 분(신)의 목소리 조차 들리지가 않았어요. but then I hear a whisper that this too shall pass 하지만 그때 어떤 속삭임을 들었지요. 이것 또한 지나갈거라고... I hear the angels whisper that this too shall pass 이것 또한 지나갈거라는 천사의 속삭임을 들었어요. my ancestors whisper that this day will one day be the past 오늘도 언젠가는 과거가 될 뿐이라 말해주었죠. so I walk in faith that this too shall pass 그래서 이것 또한 지나가리라 믿고 나아갑니다. The one that loved me the most 나를 가장 사랑했던 사람이 turned around and hurt me the worst 나에게 가장 큰 상처를 주고 떠나갔지요. Been doing my best to move on 앞으로 나아가려 최선을 다했지만 but the pain just keeps singing me songs 고통은 계속해서 노래하네요. My head and my heart are at war 내 머리도, 마음도 전쟁중이에요. cause love ain`t happening the way I want it 사랑은 언제나 내가 원하는대로 움직이지 않으니까요. Feel like I`m about to break down 터널의 끝에서 빛이 느껴지지 않아 can`t hear the light at the end of the tunnel 완전히 무너져버렸다고 생각했어요. is when I pray for healing in my heart 찢어져버린 내 아픈 마음을 어루만져 주시고 to be put back together what is torn apart 다시 되돌려달라고 기도했어요. and I pray for quiet in my head 그 분의 분명한 음성을 듣게 해달라며 that I can hear clearly what GOD says 조용히 마음속으로 기대했지요. but then I hear a whisper that this too shall pass 그때 어떤 속삭임을 들었지요. 이것 또한 지나갈거라고... I hear the angels whisper that this too shall pass 이것 또한 지나갈거라는 천사의 속삭임을 들었어요. my ancestors whisper that this day will one day be the past 오늘도 언젠가는 과거가 될 뿐이라 말해주었죠. so I walk in faith that this too shall pass 그래서 이것 또한 지나가리라 믿고 나아갑니다. All of a sudden I realized 문득 난 깨달았어요. that it only hurts worst to fight it 맞서려고 하면 상처만 더해진다는 걸요. So I embrace my shadow and hold on to the morning light 그래서 나는 내 어두움까지 껴안아주기로 했어요. 그리고 아침해가 뜰때까지 기다리기로 했어요. this too shall pass... 이것 또한 지나가겠지요... I hear the angels whisper that trouble don`t have to last always 문제가 언제까지나 계속될 필요는 없다는 천사들의 속삭임이 들려요. I hear the angels whisper even the day after tomorrow will one day be as today 내일 모레도 언젠가는 지난 날이 되어버릴거라는 속삭임이 들려요. I hear my angels whisper 내 천사들의 소리가 들리네요. I hear my angels whisper 내 천사들의 소리가 들리네요. this too shall pass 이것 또한 지나갈거라며... |

He heals me
Told him my biggest secret And he told me four. He smiled at me and said that makes me love more And then he made me laugh And I knew it was a sign That he was a man, That I wanted in my life And with every passing day I feel more and more of that way He heals me He knows the real me And he accepts me, he never hurts me He heals me He knows the real me And he accepts me, he never hurts me He heals me, He heals me I can play him songs, all through the night, And he will listen to every line, And even when I'm wrong, he is still kind [ Find more Lyrics on www.mp3lyrics.org/ERac ] He chooses his words wisely when he tells me I'm not right. And yes he is a beautiful man, But he is also a beautiful friend He heals me He knows the real me And he accepts me, he never hurts me He heals me He knows the real me And he accepts me, he never hurts me He heals me The moment that we met, he made me smile. He has so much compassion in his eyes I have no idea, how long he'll be here A season or a lifetime, forever or a year But for the first time in my life I'm not worried about the future Because we have such a wonderful time when we're together However things turn out, it's all right Cause he's already changed my life. He heals me He knows the real me And he accepts me, he never hurts me He heals me He knows the real me And he accepts me, he never hurts me He heals me.......... |

I am grateful that you never cease to amaze me the way you love me
From the flicker of an eyelash to the furthest star From the pyramids to the beat of my heart From a woman in Somalia to a child in Harlem We're created from the same things I'm grateful that you created me from the same grains from the same things I'm grateful that you never cease to amaze me the way you loved me |

There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for pearls by the roadside There is a force stronger than nature Keeps her will alive That is how she lives her life She is dying to survive I don't know what she's made of But I would like to be that brain She cries to the heavens above There's a stone in my heart She lives a life she didn't choose And it hurts like brand new shoes Yes, it hurts like brand new shoes And it hurts like brand new shoes There is a woman in Rwanda The sun shows her no mercy The same sky we lay under It burns her to the bone Long is afternoon shadows It's gonna take her to get home Each gray carefully wrapped up Pearls for her little girl Hallelujah, Hallelujah She cries to the heavens above There's a stone in my heart She lives a life she didn't choose And it hurts like brand new shoes Yes, it hurts like brand new shoes And it hurts like brand new shoes There was a womanin Somalia There was a woman in Rwanda There was a woman in Tibet There is a woman in a Congo And she hurts like brand new shoes Hallelujah, Hallelujah Ohhh Hallelujah, Hallelujah [African words sung] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah |

There was always A power I could feel It was guidance to tell me the way to go But nowadays I feel like can't hear that voice I've been flying blind I need you to come and be my eyes. (be my eyes) River Rise Carry me back home (I cannot remember the way) River rise Carry me back home (I surrender today) I was always A charmed flower child I would sit for hours And listen to the sky But nowadays I feel like I don't have that choice I've been looking down in desperation I need you to be my inspiration yeah (My inspiration) River rise Carry me back home (I cannot remember the way) River rise Carry me back home (I surrender today) I bow down And I humble myself I can't do this Lord I need your help All the material things They feel like chains If you're not here beside me you're the reason I see (Help me to remember the way) I surrender Help me to remember Only you can show me (Only you can show me the way) I surrender (I surrender today) You are the only way Lord, I need you.

I've Seen: Money come between my best friend and me
I've Seen: Old friend become new enemies I've Been: Through a couple of litigations I've Been: Through character assassination. They Try To Put This Stick In Between My Wheels But They Can't Stop My Motivation (Nothing Will...) Though I walk through the Valley where the shadow of death is... I fear no evil cause I'm protected. No weapon formed against me shall prosper Cause I'm walking with the heavenly father And I do believe I'm going to prosper Cause I'm walking with the prayers of my mother. You won't get the best of me even though you broke my heart... I'm gone pick up the pieces. [x2] I Was Thinking: Maybe this isn't the life for me. I Was Thinking: Maybe I should leave the music industry I've Been: Betrayed by the people I trusted I've Been: Oh... seriously disgusted. They Try To Put This Stick In Between My Wheels But They Can't Stop My Motivation (Nothing Will...) Though I walk through the Valley where the shadow of death is... I fear no evil cause I'm protected.

There's a girl who was raised to believe that love is suffering
She grows up and the man like a father gives her a wedding ring Now she walks around up constant companion, our resentment, fear and sadness The lack of laughter turns to cancer, this song is dedicated to her The worst disease in the world It's not cancer, it's not aids The cure will not be found By any physicist or scientist Cause any cure living every single one of us The worst disease in the world is hate And the cure for hate is love Oh love, oh love, oh love Picture this: There's a boy who was abused when he was 12 years old Now guilt lives in the pit of his stomach and even though he's grown He believes he deserves to be punished, now he lives his life past and reckless Searching for love, helpless, this song is dedicated to him The worst disease in the world It's not cancer, it's not aids The cure will not be found By any physicist or scientist Cause any cure living every single one of us The worst disease in the world is hate And the cure for hate is love Oh love, oh love, oh love It may seem When I'm looking at the world through those kind of glasses I believe that it's so simple but sometimes it looks complicated God's love is like sunshine not be recognized The most powerful energy in the universe And all we have to do is use it You may think That there's nothing in the world that you can do but that ain't the truth The fact of the matter is the battle world begins with you Be the best person you can be Pass those values to your family And when you pray for those you love Say a prayer for humanity |

Slow down
So far from where I started out So far from where I wanna be Listening for answers in the wind But can't find a rock to plant my feet Looking for love in all the wrong places Down on my knees and now I'm praying for patience I know there's gotta be a better way In the back of my mind I hear my momma say Slow down, Baby you're going too fast You got you hands in the air With you feet on the gas You're 'bout to wreck your future Running from your past You need to slow down before You go down baby Thinking the faster that I go The faster (that) I will reach my goal The race is not given to the swift But to the one who endureth I thought that all my obstacles were behind me Walking around like I'm made out of diamond I tripped and fell and it remindedme Move over and let my angels guideme Slow down, Baby you're going too fast You got you hands in the air With you feet on the gas You're 'bout to wreck your future Running from your past You need to slow down before You go down baby Sometimes you gotta be still Before you can get ahead Be still Ask the universe for help Be real You can't do it all by yourself Ah, no no Sometimes, sometimes you gotta be still It take some time to reach you and they Be still Take some time to clear your space Be real Chaos isn't good for your health Ah, no no, ahhh Cuz I'm breaking things and losing things I lost my cell phone again the other day Now, I don't wanna live this way, no In the back of my mind I hear my mama say Slow down, Baby you're going too fast You got you hands in the air With you feet on the gas You're 'bout to wreck your future Running from your past You need to slow down before You go down baby (Slow down baby) Slow down (baby) You're going too fast Slow down (baby) Feet on the gas Slow down (baby) Run from your past Slow down baby (4x) |

I am ready for love
Why are you hiding from me I"d quickly give my freedom To be held in your captivity I am ready for love All of the joy and the pain And all the time that it takes Just to stay in your good grace Lately I"ve been thinking Maybe you"re not ready for me Maybe you think I need to learn maturity They say watch what you ask for Cause you might receive But if you ask me tomorrow I"ll say the same thing I am ready for love Would you please lend me your ear? I promise I won"t complain I just need you to acknowledge I am here If you give me half a chance I"ll prove this to you I will be patience, kind, faithful and true To a man who loves music A man who loves art Respect"s the spirit world And thinks with his heart I am ready for love If you"ll take me in your hands I will learn what you teach And do the best that I can I am ready for love Here with a offering of My voice My Eyes My soul My mind Tell me what is enough To prove I am ready for love I am ready |

from India.Arie - Can I Walk With You [single] (2005)
Can I Walk With You
India.Arie I woke up this morning you were the first thing on my mind I don't know where it came from all I know is I need you in my life You make me feel like I can be a better woman If you just say you wanna take this friendship to another place Chorus Can I walk with you in through your life Can I lay with you as your wife Can I be your friend till the end Can I walk with you through your life You've got me wondering if you know that I am wondering about you The feeling is so strong that I can't imagine you're not feeling it too You've known me long enough to trust that I want what's best for you If you wanna be happy then I am the one that you should give your heart to Chorus Now everyday ain't gonna be, like the summer's day Being in love for real it ain't like a movie screen But I can tell you all the drama aside you and I can find what the worlds been looking for forever friendship and love together Chorus Can I walk with you through your life till the day that the world stops turning Can I walk with you till the day that my heart stops beating Can I walk with you through your life Can I walk with you till the end that the birds no longer take flight till the moon is underwater Can I walk with you Can I walk with you This is the moment I've been waiting for Can I walk with you Can I walk with you Can I walk with you You are everything I've been looking for Can I walk with you Creative intellectual Can I walk with you Can I walk with you as your wife |

from Julia Fordham - Concrete Love (2004)
(featuring India.Arie)
No butterflies no butterfingers No "ah me" that lingers On and on when you are gone No last dance from the lake swan No string quartet playing in my head No sweet Juliet No thunder bolt from up above Just good old plain old concrete love Good old plain old concrete love No jelly legs no trembling weak knees No belly knots in me I can eat and I can sleep No twisted tongue that can't speak No lunar walk no floating cloud talk No ten out of ten to report No thunderbolt from up above chorus You snuck up on me You waited patiently You snuck up on me chorus Won't you come Won't you come over darling Won't you come cause I want some Bring it on bring it on Over Concrete love |

from Sex And The City [Movie] (섹스 앤 더 시티) [omnibus, ost] (2008)
I got the call today, I didn`t wanna hear
But I knew that it would come An old true friend of ours was talkin` on the phone She said you found someone And I thought of all the bad luck, And all the struggles we went through How I lost me and you lost you What are these voices outside love`s open door Make us throw off our contentment And beg for something more? I`ve been learning to live without you now But I miss you sometimes The more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I knew, I`m learning them again I`ve been tryin` to get down to the Heart of the Matter But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it`s about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don`t love me anymore These times are so uncertain There`s a yearning undefined And people filled with rage We all need a little tenderness How can love survive in such a graceless age And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness They`re the very things we kill, I guess Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms And the work they put between us, You know it doesn`t keep us warm I`ve been trying to live without you now But I miss you, baby The more I know, the less I understand And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again I`ve been tryin` to get down to the Heart of the Matter But my will gets weak And my heart is so shattered But I think it`s about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don`t love me anymore All the people in your life who`ve come and gone They let you down, you know they hurt your pride Better put it all behind you； cause life goes on You keep carrin` that anger, it`ll eat you up inside I wanna be happily everafter And my heart is so shattered But I know it`s about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don`t love me anymore I`ve been tryin` to get down to the Heart of the Matter Because the flesh will get weak And the ashes will scatter So I`m thinkin` about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if you don`t love me anymore Even if you don`t love me anymore |

from Red Star Sounds Volume One - Soul Searching (2001)
Constantly creepin' caterpillar,
Still a swoon in a cocoon. Soon you might emerge, And you're made to emerge. A little longing to love, lush, Starving for affection. Hidden by the size of my perfection, With one exception... If you wanna butterfly, You gotta be a butterfly. You know that nothing falls out of the sky. Still a swoon in a cocoon. If you wanna butterfly, You gotta be a butterfly. You know that nothing falls out of the sky. How do I hide somebody from the great blue wide? I'll come and sweep you up, 'Cause your time ain't up, be patient. Now you see the sun is rising and your realizing, Wise enough to know, That you gotta let yourself grow. If you wanna butterfly, You gotta be a butterfly. You know that nothing falls out of the sky. Still a swoon in a cocoon. If you wanna butterfly, You gotta be a butterfly. You know that nothing falls out of the sky. What goes around comes back around; This is nature's way. Be conscious of what you do, Because you will be repaid. If you put turnips in the ground, You will not harvest grapes. You are what you attracted, And this is why I say; Uhhhhhh... If you wanna a butterfly, You gotta be a butterfly. You know that nothing falls out of the sky. Still a swoon in a cocoon. If you wanna a butterfly, You gotta be a butterfly. You know that nothing falls out of the sky. Constantly creepin' caterpillar, Still a swoon in a cocoon. Soon you might emerge, And be made to emerge. Maybe... Still a swoon in a cocoon (repeated MANY times!) Uhhhhhh... |

India Arie - Little Things
Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Been around the whole world still ain't seen nothing like my neighborhood and off all of the fancy satin and silk my white cotton feels so good. Search high and low for a place where I can lay my burdens down ain't nothing in the whole wide world like the peace that I have found. Chorus: In the little things (in the little things) And the joy they bring. It's the little things In the little things (it's the little things) And the joy Give me some good food Give me some cute shoes Give me some peace of mind Give me some sunshine Give me some blue skies Running around in circles lost my focus lost sight of my goals I do this for the love of music not for the glitter and gold Got everything that I prayed for even a little more When I asked to learn humility this what I was told. Chorus: In the little things (in the little things) And the joy they bring. It's the little things In the little things (it's the little things) And the joy Give me my guitar Give me a bright star Give me some good news Give me some cute shoes Give me Atlanta Give me Savannah Give some Stevie Give me some Donny Give me my Daddy Give me my Mommy Pour me some sweet tea Spoonful of honey I don't need no Hollywood |
