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

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

The time is right
I'm gonna pack my bags
And take that journey down the road
Cause over the mountain I see the bright sun shinning
And I want to live inside the glow
Yeah

I wanna go to place where I am nothing and everything
That exists between here and nowhere
I wanna got to a place time has consequence oh yeah
The sky opens to my prayers

I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,

Please understand that it not that I don't care
But right know these wall are closing in on me
I love you more than I love life itself

But I need to find a place were I can breathe
I can breathe
I wanna go to place were I can hold the intangible
And let of the pain with all my might

I wanna go to a place where I am suspended in ecstasy
Some where between dark and light
Where wrong becomes right

I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,

Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances we've taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now

Wake up in the morning
And get out of bed
Start making a mental list in my head
Of all of the things that I am grateful for

Early in the morning
It's the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today
Early in the morning
It's the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my heart and
I'm gon' do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day

La la la la la la la la la [x3]
It's a Beautiful Day [x3]

Life is a challenge not a competition
You can still smell the roses and be on a mission
Just take a moment to get in touch with your heart
Sometimes you feel like you've got something to prove
Remind yourself that there's only one you
Just take a moment to give thanks of who you are
Early in the morning
It's the dawn of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today

Early in the morning
It's the dawn of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
I open up my heart and
I'm gon' do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day

La la la la la la la la la [x3]
It's a Beautiful Day [x2]

Let's make this a wonderful
Let's make this a powerful
Let's make this a Beautiful Day
It's a Beautiful Day

Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances we've taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now

It's like yesterday
I didn't even know your name
Now today
You're always on my mind
I never could have predicted that I feel this way
You're beautiful surprise
Intoxicated every time I hear your voice
You've got me on a natural high
It's almost like I didn't even have a choice
You're beautiful surprise

Whatever it is you came to teach me
I am here to learn it cause
I believe that we're written in the stars
I don't know the future hopes
But I'm living in the moment
And I'm thankful for the man that you are, you are, you are
You are everything I ask for in my prayers
So I know my angels brought you to my life
Your energy is healing to my soul
You're beautiful surprise
You're inspiration to my life
You're the reason why I smile
You're beautiful surprise

It's like yesterday

어제만 같아


I didn't even know your name
난 너의 이름도 몰랐지



Now today

이제 오늘


You're always on my mind
넌 항상 내 마음속에 있지



I never could have predicted that I feel this way
난 내가 이런식으로 느낄꺼라고는 상상도 못했어



You are beautiful surprise

넌 아름다운 놀라움이야


Intoxicated every time I hear your voice
너의 목소리를 들을때마다 흥분돼



You've got me on a natural high

넌 날 자연 고지대(언덕)에서 만났지


It's almost like I didn't even have a choice

내가 선택권도 없었던거 같아


You are a beautiful surprise
넌 아름다운 놀라움이야


Whatever it is you came to teach me
니가 뭘 가지고 날 가르쳐줬든



I am here to learn it cause

난 배우려고 여기에 있어 왜냐하면


I believe that we are written in the stars

난 우리가 별들 안에 쓰여져 있다는걸 믿거든


I don't know what the future holds

나는 미래에 무엇이 있는지 몰라


But I'm living in the moment

하지만 난 지금 이순간도 살고 있잖아


And I'm thankful for the man that you are, you are, you are
그리고 난 지금 너라는,너라는,너라는 남자가 있어서 고마워



You are everything I ask for in my prayers
넌 내가 기도했던것 그대로야



So I know my angels brought you to my life
그러니까 내 천사들이 널 내 삶으로 데려다 주었다는걸 난 알아



Your energy is healing to my soul

너의 에너지는 내 영혼을 치료하고 있어


You are a beautiful surprise

넌 아름다운 놀라움이야


You are an inspiration to my life
넌 내 인생의 격려야



You are the reason why I smile

넌 내가 미소짓는 이유야


You are a beautiful surprise
넌 아름다운 놀라움이야

Better People Yeah Yeah! Yeah Yeah! [Verse 1:] I wish there was a video game to teach you your ancestors name I wish there was a phone number like 1-800-Save-Your-Brother I'm thankful for the radio station Not afraid to put the truth in rotation there are skirts of information That you can only get in conversation with... [Chorus:] Young People, who talk to Old People, it would make us Better People, all around... (Yes it would) And if Old People would talk to Young People, it would make us Better People, all around.... (Yes it would) [Verse 2:] We went from radio to TV Now we're going from LP to CD Don't be afraid To try something new I can help you with the brand new technology Help me with the age old philosophy Together there's so much we can do with: [Chorus:] They say that every Generation gets worse Whether if your generous or no purse These problems tend to strive off the sky (yeah) Listen to Mahatma Ghandi's words Be the change you want to see in the world Start with yourself and healing will multiply AAAAAAH, that's what happens When.. [Chorus:] If black people Would talk to white people It would make us Better People All Around.... If Republican people would Talk to Democratic people It would make us diplomatic people [laugh] All Around.....

Yeah, Yeah
Ohhhhh
Let my people go
Ohhhhh
Let my people go

In the swamps of New Orleans
The rain came pouring down
... of the water
That the walls came crashing down
Now I know a survivor
But how the hell you justify
Leavin' a hundred thousand people in water that high
Just struggling for their lives

I know there's got to be a better way
I know there's got to be a better way
I know there's got to be a better way
And we gotta find it
Gotta find it
Gotta find it
mmmmm

Politicians are screaming
They say we gotta raise up a war
So many people are dyin'
And we ain't even sure what for
Is it because he's a muslim
Tell me is it democracy or is it the oath
It's in the news every day one paycheck away
And the president's on the golf course

I know there's got to be a better way
I know there's got to be a better way
I know there's got to be a better way
And we gotta find it (We gotta stand together)
Gotta find it (Or we gon' fall apart)
Gotta find it (We gotta find it)
mmmmm

Sweet butter crawdad
Delta bread hot pepper
Sold ____ sold out
Lifestyle was taken before they found out what life was all about

He's a genius with the lyrics
Started young sippin' syrup
And it hurts me to my soul
The way he drinks away the pain
The world's gonna lose him
Another unsung hero

We gotta find it
We gotta find it
We gotta find it (We gotta find it)
We gotta find it (We gotta find it)
We gotta find it (Hey)
We gotta find it

See the children on TV
It's become a sign of the times
Glorifying their bodies
Something just don't feel right

Still we keep pretending
That boys and girls are men and women
We watch it and we call it entertainment
And everything's okay, long as somebody's gettin' paid

I know there's got to be a better way
I know there's got to be a better way
I know there's got to be a better way
And we gotta find it
Gotta find it
Gotta find it
mmmmm

* Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin
I cant tell where yours begins,
I cant tell where mine ends
Brown skin, up against my brown skin
Need some every now and then~ oh hey~

Where are your people from?
Maybe Mississippi or an Island
Apparently your skin has been kissed by the sun
You make me want a Hershey's kiss, your licorice

Every time I see your lips,
it makes me think of honey-coated chocolate
Your kisses are worth more than gold to me
I'll be your almond joy, you'll be my sugar daddy

* Repeat

Every time you come around,
something magnetic pulls me and I cant get out
Disoriented, I cant tell my up from down
All I know is that I wanna lay you down

Every time I let you in,
abracadabra magic happens as we swim
Higher and higher finally we reach heaven
Come back to earth and then we do it all again
Yeah~

* Repeat

Skin so brown, lips so round
Baby how can I be down?
Beautiful mahogany, you make me feel like a queen
Tell me what's that thing you do that
makes me wanna get next to you, yeah

* Repeat

* Repeat

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,

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...

I woke up this morning you were the first thing on my mind
아침에 눈을 떴을 때 가장 먼저 떠오른 너의 얼굴
I don't know were it came from all I know is I need you in my life, yeah
왜인지 모르겠지만 내 삶에 네가 필요하다는 것만은 분명해
You make me feel like I can be a better woman
넌 내가 더 좋은 여자가 될 수 있다고 믿게 해줘
If you just say you wanna take this friendship to another place
네가 만약 우리의 우정을 더 발전시키고 싶다고만 말한다면

Can I walk with you through your life
네 인생을 내가 함께 걸어가도 될까
Can I lay with you as your wife
너의 아내로서 아침을 맞고 싶어
Can I be your friend 'till the end
세상 끝까지 너의 친구이고 싶은데
Can I walk with you through your life
네 아내로 네 삶을 함께하게 해주겠니

You've got me wondering if you know that I am wondering about you.
이런 내 마음 너도 알고 있을까
This feeling is so strong that I can't imagine you're not feeling it too.
이렇게 뜨거운 마음을 네가 모른다는 건 말도 안 돼
You've known me long enough to trust that I want what's best for you.
날 알잖아 항상 널 위하는 걸
If you want to be happy then I am the one that you should give your heart to.
행복해지고 싶다면 날 선택해야해

Can I walk with you through your life
네 인생을 내가 함께 걸어가도 될까
Can I lay with you as your wife
너의 아내로서 아침을 맞고 싶어
Can I be your friend 'till the end
세상 끝까지 너의 친구이고 싶은데
Can I walk with you through your life
네 아내로 네 삶을 함께하게 해주겠니

Now everyday ain't gonna be like the summers day.
항상 좋은 날만 있진 않겠지
Being in love it really ain't like the movies screen.
사랑이 늘 영화같기만 한 건 아닐테니
But I can tell you all the drama aside you
하지만 말할 수 있어 너에게 일어날 일들이
And I can find what the worlds been looking for forever.
나와 함께라면 세상 사람들이 늘 꿈꿔오던
Friendship and love together.
사랑과 우정에 대한 최고의 드라마가 될 거란 사실을

Can I walk with you in your life?
Till the day that the world stops spinning.
지구가 자전을 멈출 때까지
Can I walk with you in your life?
Till the day that my heart stops beating.
내 심장이 멈출 때까지
Can I walk with you in your life?
네 인생을 함께하고 싶어
Can I walk with you
Till the day that the birds no longer take flight
새들이 날지 않는 날까지
Till the moon is underwater
달이 바다 속에 잠길 때까지
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you
너와 함께 해도 되겠니
This is the moment I've been waiting for
늘 꿈꿔왔어
Can I walk with you
Can I walk with you

All I know is I need you in my life, yeah

You make me feel like I can be a better woman
If you just say you wanna take this friendship to another place

Can I walk with you through your life
Can I lay with you as your wife
Can I be your friend 'till the end

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

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

(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

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

Close your eyes
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

Close your eyes
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

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

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

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

There are places in Havannah,
That remind me of Savannah.
Parts of West Virgina,
That might as well be Kenya.
Parts of New York City,
Parts of Mississippi.
Parts of Tennessee,
Look like another world to me.

[Chorus:]
Oh, oh oh, Ghetto-o-o-o,
Might as well be another country.
Barrio-o-o-o,
Might as well be another country.
When you look around,
You live in another country too (too).

To be hungry in L.A.
Is just like starving in Bombay.
Homeless in Moracco,
Is a shelter in Chicago.
Right around the corner,
Just down the road.
Right before your eyes,
Right under your nose.

[Chorus:]
Hey, the ghetto-o-o-o
Might as well be another country.
Barrio-o-o-o,
Might as well be another country.
When you look around,
You live in another country too (too).

Now the dictionary says,
That the ghetto is a place
Of minority, and poverty, and over population.
We live on this earth together,
Ain't no separation.
When you're looking down,
From outer space.
We're just a human race and the world is a

[Chorus:]
Ghetto-o-o-o,
Listen every place and every country.
Barrio-o-o-o,
It's in every place and every country.
When you look around,
Do you see your brother when you
Look around?
It's a small world after all.
Look around,
You live in another country too.

(Ghetto) Jamaica is a ghetto
(Ghetto) Japan is a ghetto
(Ghetto) America's a ghetto
(Ghetto) Slovakia's a ghetto
(Ghetto) South Africa's a ghetto

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

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

Good morning silence
Good morning to myself

Good morning to the pain in the center of my chest

It's crazy how much I miss
a simple good morning kiss
oh ohhhhh...

Good morning independence or is it loneliness?
I know I said I wanted this but I have regrets

I pray for God's will to be done
The very next day you were gone
Oh Ohhhhhh

Good morning to the harsh realities of life
and good morning to the fact we're not husband and wife

We made a promise to stay
But destiny got in the way
oh ohhhhhhhh

Good morning...

Good morning acceptance
Good morning inner strength
I'm loving every moment
even the strain

It's crazy how much I miss
a simple good morning kiss
It's crazy how much I've missed
Now it's time for me to live
oh ohhhhhhhhhh

Good morning...

Good morning optimism
Good morning to my faith
Good morning to the beginning of a brand new day

I know that God's will be done
So I lay down my pain and I'm moving on

I know that God's will be done.
So it's a good morning after all

Do do do
Do do do
Do do do do do do dooooooo

Good morning silence
Good morning to myself

Good morning to the pain in the center of my chest

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

India Arie - Growth

The only thing constant in the world
Is change
That’s why
Today I take life as it comes

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..........

India Arie - Headed In The Right Direction

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.

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,

Headed in the right direction, 1 have found my inspiration.

"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. 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.

Every day that you pass my way, I wonder, I wonder about your life
What is your age, are you connected if so, does she treat you right
Now please, excuse me for being so forward
Bur I couldn't let this chance go by without lettin' you know I

I wonder, I wonder if you really knew, that I see God in you
And I wonder if you can see, how much you mean to me
I know you cannot read my mind, but I hope you feel my vibe
I think it's time I let you know that, I see the God in you

Every time that I see your face, I wonder,
what lies beneath your smile
What are your dreams, what are your fears,
what does your heart hold dear
I know, that you don't know me at all
But if you know yourself, well then you know me very well

I wonder, I wonder if you really knew, that I see God in you
And I wonder if you can see, how much you mean to me
I know you cannot read my mind, but I hope you feel my vibe
I think it's time I let you know that, I see the God in you

I wonder, I wonder if you really knew, that I see God in you
And I wonder if you can see, how much you mean to me
I know you cannot read my mind, but I hope you feel my vibe
I think it's time I let you know that, I see the God in you

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

Your favorite food, what you like to do
Your favorite color, or any other
Thing on your mind that you'd like to share
Cause I can stay here and listen to every word

Because I'm interested - can I be an instrument
Of change in you're life?
Is that all right?
Because I'm interested, I'd rather be with you instead
Of any one else

Because I'm interested in your middle name - now don't be ashamed
It's between me and you - everything that we do
So let your guard down because there's a new girl in town
Could you turn it around; I hope that you are down

Because I'm interested - can I be an instrument
Of change in you're life?
Is that all right?
Because I'm interested, I'd rather be with you instead
Of any one else

I'm wide-open, no more secrets, no more lies
Don't wanna act
like a fool, but I will for you
So I'll beg, I'll scream, I'll call, I'll write
If that's what it takes for you to be in my life
Because I'm interested

Because I'm interested - can I be an instrument
Of change in you're life?
Is that all right?
Because I'm interested, I'd rather be with you instead
Of any one else

Your favorite food, what you like to do
Your favorite color, or any other
Thing on your mind that you'd like to share
Cause I can stay here and listen to every word

Because I'm interested - can I be an instrument
Of change in you're life?
Is that all right?
Because I'm interested, I'd rather be with you instead
Of any one else

Because I'm interested in your middle name - now don't be ashamed
It's between me and you - everything that we do
So let your guard down because there's a new girl in town
Could you turn it around; I hope that you are down

Because I'm interested - can I be an instrument
Of change in you're life?
Is that all right?
Because I'm interested, I'd rather be with you instead
Of any one else

I'm wide-open, no more secrets, no more lies
Don't wanna act
like a fool, but I will for you
So I'll beg, I'll scream, I'll call, I'll write
If that's what it takes for you to be in my life
Because I'm interested

Because I'm interested - can I be an instrument
Of change in you're life?
Is that all right?
Because I'm interested, I'd rather be with you instead
Of any one else

The list goes on and on….

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

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

This is in remembrance of our ancestors

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 love me

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

India Arie - Outro: Learning (Interlude)

The highest expression of love is to give without expecting,
the highest expressiong of love is to except without expections.
I have so much to learn, I have so much to learn, have so much to learn, o-o-o-o-oh

India Arie - Outro: Learning (Interlude)

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

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

India Arie - Little Things

Been around the whole world, still ain't seen
Nothin' like my neighborhood
And of all the fancy satin and silk
My white cotton feels so good

Searched high and low for a place
Where I can lay my burdens down
Ain't nothin' in the whole wide world
Like the piece that I have found

(It's the little things) It's the little things
And the joy they bring
(The little things) It's the little things
And joy they bring

As simple as a phone call just to make it known
That you're gonna be a little late
Pure as a kiss on a cheek in a word
That everything will be okay

Call in the mornin' from my little sister
Singin' to me, "Happy Birthday"
In the quest for fortune and fame
Don't forget about the simple things

(It's the little things) It's the little things
And the joy they bring, yeah
(The little things) It's the little things
And joy

Give me some roomful, give me seclusion
Give me some peace of mind
Bring me some sunshine, bring me some blue sky

Runnin' 'round in circles, lost my focus
Lost sight of my goal
I do this for the love of music
Not for the glitter and gold

Got everything that I pray for
Even a little more
When I ask to learn humility
This is what I was told

(It's the little things) It's the little things
And the joy they bring, it's the little things
(The little things) It's the little things
Oh...hee...

Give me my guitar, bring me a bright star
Give me new clothes, give me some cute shoes
Give me a ladder, give me some matter
Bring me my peace of mind

Give me 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

India Arie - Interlude: Living

In the face of the unexpected (yeah, yeah)
you never know what's gonna happen tomorrow,
but I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live.
Yea-a-a, yea-a-a, yea-a-a,ooo-ah.
I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live, with an open heart
yea, a-a-a-a-h.
