Intro: Grains
I’m grateful that you created me from the same grains from the same things

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

Oh God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change
The courage to change the things that I can
The wisdom to know the difference
Oh ooh and God give me the courage to love with an open heart,
An open heart, an open heart I wanna love with an open heart

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
I would like to be that brave
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
Burns her to the bone
Long as afternoon shadows
It's gonna take her to get home
Each grain 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 is a woman in Somalia
There is a woman in Rwanda
There is a woman in Sudan
There is a woman in the Congo
And she hurts like brand new shoes
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Ohhh
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
(African words sung)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I'm grateful that now I can see
that I am a part of everything
and everything is a part of me

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

Now that you're right here,
Let me whisper in your ear
Now that you're listening,
Let me tell you how I feel
I've been trying to formulate
The perfect words the perfect way
I can't hold it back no more
I gotta let you know today
Simple (What more can I say)
So Simple
I Love you (What more can I say)
Simple (What more can I say)
So Simple
I Love you (What more can I say)
Now that you're listening let me tell you what I need
Now that your holding me let me show you what I mean
I've been trying to analyze
just what it is I fill inside my heart
But now I realize it don't have to be so hard
Cause it's
Simple (What more can I say)
So Simple
I Love you (What more can I say)
Simple (What more can I say)
So Simple
I Love you (What more can I say)
Once the power is for real
And I gonna say it again
And again
I Love you
I Love you
I Love you
I Love you
I Love you
I Love you
Now you know how I feel
Tell me what are you gonna do
Now that I've said the words
Tell me what do you have to lose
I know that you feel it to
I can see it when I look into your eyes
You're scared, but you don't have to be
It's alright cause it's
Simple (What more can I say)
So Simple
I Love you (What more can I say)
Simple (What more can I say)
So Simple

The highest expression of love is to give without expecting,
the highest expressiong of love is to except without expections.

I just want you to know
After everything that we've been through
I just want you to know
That I still love you
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 being so petty
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
I'm 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
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
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
You're only human
Let's shake free this gravity of judgment
And fly high, and fly high
Let's keep it moving
Let's shake free this gravity of commitment
And fly high on the wings of forgiveness
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 still love you
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 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

That we learn what it means to really love ourselves
That we can love our neighbors as we love ourselves
That we can live in harmony
See ourselves as a family
This is my prayer for humanity
That we protect our women and protect our girls
That they feel safe in every corner of the world
That we can live in harmony
See ourselves as a family
This is my prayer for humanity
That every man will be a father to someone
By loving every boy as if it were his son
That we can live in harmony
See ourselves as a family
This is my prayer for humanity
That every man woman boy and girl
will hear these words all across the world
This is my prayer for humanity
That we learn to take our elders off the shelf
Put them on a pedestal when they need our help
That we can live in harmony
See ourselves as a family
This is my prayer for humanity
That we learn that no one really wins a war
And every leader knows what power is for
That we can live in harmony
See ourselves as a family
This is my prayer for humanity
That every man woman boy and girl
will hear these words all across the world

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 could stay here
And listen to your every word
Because I'm interested
Can I be an instrument
In changing your life
Is that alright?
Because I'm interested
I'd rather be with you instead
Of anyone else
Because I'm interested in your middle name
Now don't be ashamed
Its between me and you
Everything that we do
So let your guard down because
There's a new girl in town
Gonna turn it around
I hope that you are down
I'm wide open, no more secrets
No more lies
Don't wanna look like a fool
But I will
For you
So I'll beg
I'll scream (I'll beg, I'll scream, I'll call, write)
I'll call
I'll write

Thankful for relaxation, complication,
Hivination and irritation
Succlusion, confusion are my impurities
And securities
Cause I know it`s god just perfecting me

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 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
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

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

This is in remembrance of our ancestors
Sam Cooke and
Marvin Gaye and
Donny Hathaway
And all that came before
You opened up a door
Cause of you

Oooh oooh oooh oooh heeeyyy
oooh oooh oooh
Goodbye summer hate to see you go
I wasn't ready for autumn wind to blow
So lonely
We had a fine time holding hands in June
Warm in a sunshine watching love in bloom
Where are you now?
My heart is frozen in this place
waiting for another summer's day
to bring you back my way
ooooooh
hello winter, watch the swirling snow
I didnt 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
oooh oooh oooh
I'll be waiting under the poplar tree
anticipating when you'll come back to me
in the spring ooooh, in the spring yeah
Hello summer kiss from my old friend
been such a long time, tell me how you've been
so lonely now
yeeaahh
My heart is frozen in this place
waiting for another summer's day
to bring you back my way
ooohhh ooohhh

The only thing constant in the world is change
That's why today I take life as it comes

[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 pauper 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]
There's hope
[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
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Every time I turn on the T.V. (There's Hope)
Somebody's acting crazy (There's Hope)
If you let it, it will drive you crazy (There's Hope)
but I'm takin' back my power today (There's Hope)
Gas prices they just keep on rising (There's Hope)
The government they keep on lying
but we gotta keep on surviving
Keep living our truth and do the best we can do
[Chorus]
Stand up for your rights [echo]
Keep shining your light [echo]
And show the world your smile [echo]

I release all these disappointment
From my mental physical spiritual and emotional body
Cause I know that spirit guides me
And love lives inside me

Every time I hear you say hello
All I see is yellow
Like daisies in the meadow
And I just thought you should know
That every time you go away
My yellow turns to gray
What I'm trying to say is
It shouldn't be this way
And I need you to stay
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow
I need you to stay
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow
When you're away from me
I get green with envy
Wondering where you could be
And this ain't how it should be
But you know I'm a Georgia peach
I need your sunshine on me
You know how I can be
I get blue and lonely
And I need you to stay
Yellow
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the
Baby, stay with me in the
Baby, stay with me in the
Stay with me in the yellow
There are times you make me see red
And then you shine your white
I get all pink inside
You know you're the love of my life
Together me and you are purple
Because we are so royal
And whenever we are this close
I never want to let go
I need you to stay
Stay with me in the
Stay with me in the
Baby, stay with me in the
Baby, stay with me in the
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the yellow
Stay with me in the
Stay with me in the yellow
Yellow, yellow
Stay, yellow, yellow, yellow

[Verse 1:]
Easy like Sunday morning
Like an angel calling
He taking me all in
I'm embracing him with my skin
Like a glimmer of light
Like a vision of life
And he's so perfect I couldn't picture him if I tried
[Bridge 1:]
See some may come
Some may go
But I'll follow you wherever you're the perfect mate for my soul
And I know why I lose control whenever I'm around you cause you given me
[Chorus:]
Your hand
And that's more than enough
Your glance
Is like jumping in the river of
Jordan
Purify me baby [x2]
[verse 2:]
It's like summertime always
Like it's sunny out all day
Whenever you smile
Sweeter than momma's homemade
And I thought every man was made the same way
But a world of smoke and ashes boy your are milk and honey
[Bridge 2:]
See some may come
Some may go
But fill me up with your love
You're nourishment to my soul
And I know why I lose control
Whenever I'm around you
Cuz you given me
[Chorus]
[Bridge 3:]
O your love is
So divine
O o o oh o I'm

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

Interlude Grains
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

John Coltrane and
Miles Davis
Dizzy Gillespie
This is a song for you
Jimi Hendrix
Stevie Ray Vaughn
And Robert Johnson
And Charlie Patton

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 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
First anniversary
remember we
chose a star
And as i stand under it
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
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 you

Sweetest honey to the brightest flower the largest plant
Into the smallest atom, snow flakes in the bird kingdom,
Smaller than the eye can see,
Bigger than the mind can concieve. (oh)
Heard a man on the radio today,
Must confess I disagreed with what he had to say.
How can he not believe that God is real,
I don't understand how he could feel that way. When
There's earth air water and fire.
So many different flowers, sunshine and rainshower,
So many differnt crystals and hills and volcanos.
That's how I know that God is real
(all of this is not by chance)
That's how I know that God is real
(all of this is not by chance)
That's how I know that God is real
(I know this is not by chance)
That's how I know that God is real
That's how I know that God is real.
In Saint Lucia, I jumped in the water.
For the first time I understood its power.
As I swam, I was cleansed.
If I had any doubts, this experience cleared them.
Now I know for sure that God is real.
I know that it's the truth by the way it feels (uh-huh)
Cause I saw starfish and sponges,
Fish and black trumpets,
So many different colors I stayed
Out there for hours and I only saw a fraction of a fraction,
Of the deep 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 stars.
The ocean's salt water just like my tears are.
You feel me the sun rises and sets everyday without fail
That's how I know that God is real
(all of this is not by chance),
That's how I know that God is real
(all of this is not by chance),
That's how I know that God is real
(all of this is not by chance),
That's how I know that God is real
Earth, air, water, and fire
Earth, air, water, and fire
Earth, air, water, and fire

If he were a color
He'd be a deep dark forest green
If he were a car
He'd be a long stretch limousine
With room for all of humanity inside
Cause he is so giving
And he is so wise
If he were a number
He'd be a five cause he has such a brilliant mind
If were an animal
He's be an ass cause he's so stubborn sometimes
But if he were a song
He'd be a complicated melody
That complicated fellow he
I almost can not sing it on key
But he means the world to me
If he were a building
He'd be a beautiful cathedral
Cause he's so traditionally spiritual
If he were a dance
He'd be complicated like the tango
Exotic like a mango
But if here a song
He'd be a complicated melody
That complicated fellow he
I almost can not sing it on key
But he means the world me
He ain't the reasong for the sun and the moon
He is the reason for this here tune
Cause he means the world to me (ooh ooh)
Said he means the world to me
Me me me yeah
He means the world to me yeah
Complicated melody that complicated fellow he
He's a complicated melody

Yeah yeah yeah yeahhhh
Ooooh, ooooh
If we make each other happy, then we just can't lose
I don't mean to be decadent
I might sound like a hedonist
But the simplest way i can put it
You become a habit
The more i consume, the more i gotta have it
Ain't no such thing as too much
If you gave me everything it'd never be enough yeah
My black coffee, no sugar no cream in the morning
You're my super double caffeine dream yeah
Your precious darkness got me so strung out
Aand lovin' the way that you got me so wide open, my babydoll
Jonesin' and fienin' under my skin
My nerves are screamin' when you're not here
See baby i need ya sugar, you're so delicious
Chorus
There is somethin' about your love
That makes me just wanna open up
Your flavor is the sweetest thing in life
I'm addicted to your chocolate high
Cause i want you, and i know that you want me
So let's stay close like we're supposed to be
And just get high off our own supply
I'm addicted to your chocolate high
I be trippin' in so many ways if i
Go a single day without a taste of your love
The finest cuisine of today's world
Five stars, oh you're so gourmet girl
I crave you, i want you
Every cell in my body needs you
Tasty like hershey's and nestle
You're rich like godiva boy you just so sexy
(repeat chorus)
Your flavor is the sweetest thing in life
And i don't ever want to come down
I'm addicted to your chocolate high
Oh yeahhhhhh

Come ye ye who would have peace
Hear me what I say now
I say come ye ye who would have peace
It’s time to learn how to pray
I say come ye ye who have no fear
What tomorrow brings child
Start praying for a better world
Or peace and all good things
I say come ye ye who still have hope
That we can still survive now
Let’s work together as we should
And fight to stay alive
I say come ye ye who would have love
It’s time to take a stand
Don’t mind abuse it must be paid
For the love of your fellow man
I say come ye come ye
Who would have hope
Who would have hope
Who would have hope

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 want to butterfly,
You gotta be a butterfly.
You know that nothing falls out of the sky.
Still a swoon in a cocoon.
If you want to 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 want to butterfly,
You gotta be a butterfly.
You know that nothing falls out of the sky.
Still a swoon in a cocoon.
If you want to 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 want to a butterfly,
You gotta be a butterfly.
You know that nothing falls out of the sky.
Still a swoon in a cocoon.
If you want to 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)

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

Picture this
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 twelve 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, [Incomprehensible] 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 [Incomprehensible]
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
A better 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, say a prayer
Our Father, who art in Heaven
Say a prayer, say a prayer
Say a prayer for humanity
Say a prayer for humanity
Say a prayer for humanity
Say a prayer for humanity
Say a prayer for humanity
Say a prayer for humanity
Say a prayer for humanity

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
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
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

I've got this feeling that I need to express
Letting it out so you don't have to guess
I'm making myself vulnerable but you keep holding back so scared to let go
If you're looking for love then I think I could be the one, the one, the one
Tell me why you wanna be so cruel
Acting like you don't feel the way that you do
We've got the strongest compatibility
I just wanna explore the possibilities
But if you only wanna play games with me I aint the one, the one, the one
I aint got a husband
You aint got a wife
We two grown folks lets spend some together
Get to know me better, maybe share some laughter
It just might turn into happily ever after
You never know, I just might be the one, the one, the one
[Bridge:]
I just be that special girl
The one that God made especially for you
I just might be that special girl
The one to make you happy
Just wanna make you happy
La lala la lala la
La lala la lala la
La lala la lala la
I know it might sound stange to you, but im tellin you this because i fel it's true. yeah. yeahyeah, yeahyeah.

Grandma Lousie
Uncle Joe
Aunt Joanne
Uncle para
And to all of the names
That I do not know
But whose blood runs thru my veins

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
I couldn't find it always one step behind it
Now I know it was mine all the time finally I am
Headed in the right direction
I can see the light of day
I've got love as my protection
There's no need for me to be afraid
I spend so much time with my head in the clouds
Now that I've got my feet on the ground
I found that I am
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 there 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
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
I have found my inspiration

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 are 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 are a beautiful surprise
Whatever it is you came to teach me
I am here to learn it cause
I believe that we are written in the stars
I don't know what the future holds
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 are a beautiful surprise
You are an inspiration to my life
You are the reason why I smile

Too much hypocrisy in this old southern town for me
Way back in 1619 began this tragic story
Thrown into slavery stand the crime was the color of skin
Never to see the light of the past again
[Chorus:]
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 winds call my name
The winds are 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 trees
The strangest spirit came over me
Is this the tree where my brother was hung?
Is this the ground where is body was burned?
God gave to me the gift of song so I dedicate this one
[chorus]
Superiority, prove how you better than me
Wasting precious time on racist mentality
This is only the beginning
the flesh will be pushing up daisies in the ending
Spirit knows no color either you're a hater or a lover

Is that India.Arie? What happened to her hair? Ha ha ha ha ha
Dat dad a dat da
Dad a ooh
Little girl with the press and curl
Age eight I got a Jheri curl
Thirteen I got a relaxer
I was a source of so much laughter
At fifteen when it all broke off
Eighteen and went all natural
February two thousand and two
I went and did
What I had to do
Because it was time to change my life
To become the women that I am inside
Ninety-seven dreadlock all gone
I looked in the mirror
For the first time and saw that HEY....
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your expectations no no
I am not my hair
I ma not this skin
I am a soul that lives within
What'd she do to her hair? I don't know it look crazy
I like it. I might do that.
Umm I wouldn't go that far. I know .. ha ha ha ha
Good hair means curls and waves
Bad hair means you look like a slave
At the turn of the century
Its time for us to redefine who we be
You can shave it off
Like a South African beauty
Or get in on lock
Like Bob Marley
You can rock it straight
Like Oprah Winfrey
If its not what's on your head
Its what's underneath and say HEY....
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend? Oooh
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
I am expressing my creativity..
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Breast Cancer and Chemotherapy
Took away her crown and glory
She promised God if she was to survive
She would enjoy everyday of her life ooh
On national television
Her diamond eyes are sparkling
Bald headed like a full moon shining
Singing out to the whole wide world like HEY...
If I wanna shave it close
Or if I wanna rock locks
That don't take a bit away
From the soul that I got
Dat da da dat da
If I wanna where it braided
All down my back
I don't see what wrong with that
Dat da da dat da
Is that India.Arie?
Ooh look she cut her hair!
I like that, its kinda PHAT
I don't know if I could do it.
But it looks sharp, it looks nice on her
She got a nice shaped head
She got an apple head
I know right?

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
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.

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 patient, 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 an offering of
My voice
My Eyes
My soul
My mind
Tell me what is enough
To prove I am ready for love

All the joy over love, over you
yeah ooooo. ohhhhh
You are the sunshine of my life, another Shakespeare of your time
Your like a ribbon in the sky, you are a poet's endless rhyme
You take me to a higher ground,you know you knock me off my feet
Lately I been thinking 'bout you, cause you been creeping in my dreams
You inspire me the way you make me feel inside is amazing
Your honesty, your artistry is engaging
You are, everything I hope to be
You have touch my soul I want you to know you are my hero
You got so much soul to put it plain and simple you are wonderful
I am your woman in red, I am girl blue, I am the black orchid, I am a golden lady too
You bring the music of your mind to elevate human kind
That's why I'm sharing my emotions with inner visions I explore
You inspire me the way you make me feel inside is amazing
Your honesty your artistry is engaging
You are everything I want to be
You have touch my soul I want you to know you are my hero
You got so much soul to put it plain and simple you are wonderful
[Bridge]
You so beautiful

You have touched my soul, and i just wanna say thank you
And I just want to say
You have touch my soul

Stevie Beautiful

You're wonderful
YOU have touched my soul, to put it plain and simple you are wonderful
You have touched my soul, you're so devine, you're so sublime
You're wonderful

These eyes never saw you leavin
This heart is in need of some healing
These arms are letting you go
Our life is the greatest story never told
How many more ways can I explain this to you boy
We had had this conversation several times before
I will except nothing less than your complete respect
If you cannot give me that then maybe I should step
These eyes never saw you leavin
This heart is in need of some healing
These arms are letting you go
Our life is the greatest story never told
All this cryin all this fightin simply ain't my style
Though you're one of the most important people in my life
I love you from the day we met, I know you love me too
But at this point walking away is the best thing we can do
These eyes never saw you leavin
This heart is in need of some healing
These arms are letting you go
Our life is the greatest story never told
Are we meant to be man and wife?
The answer I don't know
Of life's many mystery's what intrigues me the most
Is who our children would have been
I guess we'll never know
Even as I walk away I'll always keep the hope
These eyes never saw you leavin
This heart is in need of some healing
These arms are letting you go
That's life
That's the way the story goes
Truth is every relationship is a lesson
Truth is I saw it coming but it hurts anyway
Truth is I'm not the reason you're so angry
Truth is you're not the reason I'm so passive
Truth is I've got to take back my power
Truth is
The reason why it hurts so bad
to walk away from you
These eyes I never saw you leavin
This heart my heart is in need of some healing
These arms, These arms are letting you go
That's life is the greatest story never told
Our love is the greatest story never told
Our life is the greatest story never told

He lays me on the couch and says
“how has your day been?
Tell me your problems;

He sits next to me and smiles.
Listens to all of my words,
Relaxes all of my nerves.

Says something to make me laugh
Makes me forget I was mad
His touch feels so right
It’s like he’s reading my mind

Inside my head there lives a dream that I want to see in the sun
Behind my eyes there lives a me that I've been hiding for much too long
'Cause I've been, too afraid to let it show
'Cause I'm scared of the judgment that may follow
Always putting off my living for tomorrow
It's time to step out on faith, I've gotta show my faith
It's been illusive for so long, but freedom is mine today
I've gotta step out on faith, It's time to show my faith
Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found
Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it's been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me
Behind my pride there lives a me, that knows humility
Inside my voice there is a soul, and in my soul there is a voice
But I've been, too afraid to make a choice
'Cause I'm scared of the things that I might be missing
Running too fast to stop and listen
It's time to step out on faith, I've gotta show my faith
It's been illusive for so long but freedom is mine today
I've gotta step out on faith it's time to show my faith
Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found
Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it's been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me
I close my eyes and I think of all the things that I want to see
'Cause I know, now that I've opened up my heart I know that
Anything I want can be, so let it be, so let it be:.
Strength, courage, and wisdom
It's been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, wisdom
It's been inside of me all along, everyday I'm praying for:
Strength, courage, and wisdom
To find me, yeah,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me
Vamp
I found it in me, I found it finally

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
ya goin to fast.
You got your hands in the air
With your Feet on the gas.
You 'bout to wreck your future,
Run 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 of my obstacles were behind me.
Walking around like I'm made out of diamond.
I tripped and fell and it reminded me to move over and let the angels guide me.
Slow down baby
ya goin to fast.
You got your hands in the air
With your Feet on the gas.
You 'bout to wreck your future,
Run 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.

mmhmmmm.....
I say I love you
you say that's kind
you don't wanna get too close
you loved me crazy
I lost my mind
listen...
you're everything I never wanted
and all the things I didn't need
this ain't who I wanna be
you don't have to stay forever
I'll take passion over pride
full moon, high tide
let's make it a long goodbye
tomorrow we'll pick up the pieces
try to mend our broken lives
soft kiss, sweet lies
let's make it a long goodbye
yeah...
I cried in silence
I lived through you
I've given everything away
and maybe I can learn to fall
for someone who can give me all
the things I"m not afraid to lose
whenever you see lonely faces
that's where I'll be
don't cry for me, no no no no
don't cry for me, don't cry for me yeah yeahhhh
hey, don't cry for me, no no no

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

I achieved so much in life
But I’m an amateur in love
My bank account is doing just fine
But my emotions are bankrupt
My body is nice and strong
But my heart is in a million pieces
When the sun is shining so am I
But when the night falls so does my tears
Sometimes the beatings so loud in my heart
That I can barely tell our voices apart
Sometimes the fear is so loud in my head
That I can barely hear what God says
Then I hear a whisper that this too shall pass
I hear the angel’s whisper that this too shall pass
My ancestors whisper that this day one day will be the past
So I walk in faith that this too shall pass
The one that loved me the most
Turned around and hurt me the worse
I’m doing my best to move on
But the pain just keeps singing me songs
My head and my heart are at war
Cause love ain't happening the way I wanted
Feel like I’m about to break down
Can’t hear the light at the end of the tunnel
So I pray for healing in my heart
To be put back together what is torn apart
And I pray for quiet in my head
That I can hear clearly what God says
Then I hear the whisper that this too shall pass
I hear the Angels whisper that this too shall pass
My ancestors whisper that this day will one day be the past
So I walk in faith that this too shall pass
All of sudden I realize
That it only hurts worse to fight it
So I embrace my shadow
And hold on to the morning light
This Too Shall Pass
This Too Shall Pass
This Too Shall Pass
This Too Shall Pass
This Too Shall Pass
This Too Shall Pass
I hear the angels whisper
that trouble don't have to last always
I hear the angels whisper
Even the day after tomorrow will one day be yesterday.
I hear my angels whisper.
I hear my angels whisper.

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. ( 2X)
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.
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 got my money ….I’m gone pick up the pieces. ( 2X)
MC Lyte Mix:
You Can’t Get The Best Of Me… Cause Of My Destiny
Not To Be Less Than Me …But To Be More.
So, Don’t Question Me..
I Came And I Conquered, I Soared
To New Heights And Still I Explored
In My Fight To Survive,
Lyte Is Too Right…
Keep My Eyes On New Sights
I Continue To Plight
So, When Try To Hurting Me
Even Deserting Me…
Know That I Am Designed To Overcome Adversity~
Want To Bring Out The Worst In Me …IT WON’T HAPPEN!
Because I Take Responsibility For My Actions.
My Tenacity…Well It Has To Be Everlasting…
Cause Even When Comes To Backstabbers…I’M LAUGHING!
You won’t get the best of me even though broke my heart ….I’m gone pick up the pieces.
You won’t get the best of me even though you got my money ….I’m gone pick up the pieces. (2X)
