I have a dream of you whenever
Healing things gets tough
All the things you said forever
Now I know what is a lie
I taught myself no more to worry
Though I’ve seen too much
And though you did
You said you’re sorry
It was a made up story
Trust issues medal
You patched it on me
Now that I’m winning you wanna be friends no
I can’t believe in a word that you say
No
Blessed and protected in what I allow
Close to me
You knew me then but not now
I need no enemies if I got friends like you
Oh
Did you think that I miss you
So much
Did you think I’m someone still
You can touch
You can’t touch me
I ain’t lying when I say
I got power in my veins
Did you think God would let you
Come back
In my life
Not the same when I ain’t around yeah
I’m busy talking to God
I shed the darkness that was in
Loving not being loved back
Only reason why you chase me
Stalking my profiles
Is cause you couldn’t replace me
You tried but couldn’t debase me
Thanks to your help I know what I don’t want
Count every stitch
I am good
No more torn no
I betch you’ve never seen anything that brand new
Oh
Since you’re still here just some friendly advice
Learn from your shit
Better don’t do it twice no
Go on your way
Wish you love yourself like I do me
Do you think that I missed you
Eh
So much
Do you think I’m someone still
Who’d fall back no
I ain’t lying when I say
I got power in my veins
I ain’t lying when I say
I am grown and proud of me
Do you think God would let you
Come back
In my life
My life
Oh no no no
Oh no no hey
Oh no no
The weather is cold, the sky is pale. How’d you like that for small talk? I never liked too much the hale That’s how i guess you would respond. There’s so much that I’d love to say but now i won’t dial you no more How all your lies they fell away leaving me lying on the floor And oh it took all my strength to get me up And oh i tell you i’m never looking back at you Now brushing my hair and walking out Now I’m just loving me for me Some days I’m up some days I’m down some wounds on the mend, some still to heal And all was a picture in my head Took a good pain to make me learn with nothing to numb it i’m awake acknowledge the past and let it burn. And oh i’m thankful for those who had my back and oh baby, we’re never looking back It all was a picture in my head so now i’m just loving me for me.
I’ve been making
All these steps
Moving on
I’ve been breaking
Generational curses one by one
You don’t know, you can’t see what’s underneath
Everybody’s got a cross they bear
I decided long ago to let me heal for me
No more hurting
Past the point of breaking
Stop romanticizing your pain babe
There’s so much more out there and you can get it
So go ahead and heal
Go ahead and heal
Go ahead and heal
Go ahead and heal
I’ve been laughing
Oh out and loud and proud again
And I’ve been feeling
All the joy return into my lungs
And life is gonna go and teach you grace
Now if you let it
Don’t you get it wrong
Don’t let it harden you
I decided long ago
To let me heal
To let me heal
No more hurting
Past the point of breaking
Stop romanticizing your pain babe
There’s so much more out there and you can get it
So go ahead and heal
Go ahead and heal
Go ahead and heal
Go ahead and heal
Now come and raise your voice with me
There ain’t nobody else but you
To get you healed
To get you moving
Get you breathing
Now rise with me
You owe it to yourself
To get you healed
Get you breathing
No more hurting
Past the point of breaking
Stop romanticizing your pain babe
There’s so much more out there and you can get it
So go ahead and heal
Go ahead and heal
Go ahead and heal
Go ahead and heal
Oh and I know we’ve been long time hurting
Oh and I know we’ve been long time yearning
Oh and I know we’ve been long deserving
Oh and I know we can make it heal
So am I to start running
Who am I to give up
But what am I supposed to do
When I got no strength to fight back
So am I to start running
Would you give it all up
What about those night-times
We swore we’d hold on for the light
I am gonna pray
Pray
Pray
Yeah
Tell me who we’re meant to be
It’s much to unpack
I feel I’ve changed
No longer know
Who’s in the mirror looking back
Tried to piece it together
But she’s changed now for good
So Imma go ahead and love her
Better than any of them could
Like I am brave
Brave
Brave
Brave
Lord give me strength
To fill my lungs
With air to breathe
When it’s getting tough
Wash my tears in your waterfalls
Make me whole
God give me voice
To scream my love
Inspire others who would search their own
Make me breave
Build me up
Cause you showed me I’m not done yet
I am gonna pray
Brave
Pray
I’m gonna be brave
I’m gonna be brave
I’m gonna be brave
I am
I’m gonna
I’m gonna be brave
I was lost I was blind to the truth I was scared Afraid of losing you Couldn’t see it had Nothing to do with me You were weak and I Had to leave And I opened my eyes To brand new horizons Leave when it’s dark To find where the light is Though hurting inside I knew I would rise up With all that I am I must be dreaming cause I’m out of this world I must be running wild cause it’s so unusual I’ve always waited, hoped, the raining would stop But all it’s made me is Taller than this, taller than this, taller than that No longer weighing all the weight of the world No longer feeling like i’m odd – i’m not usual I’m friends with all of the thunder and storm Cause all it’s made me is Taller than this, taller than this, taller than that God was there Showed me what i’s supposed to do Healed my Being From worrying if I am enough for you Taught me that being sad Is the same as being mad, yeah Taught me to rest my head Cause angels do hold my head Oh when i opened my eyes To brand new horizons I’ve been where it’s dark Now find where the light is Though hurting inside Just know I am rising With all that I am I must be dreaming cause I’m out of this world I must be running wild cause it’s so unusual I’ve always waited, hoped, the raining would stop But all it’s made me is Taller than this, taller than this, taller than that No longer weighing all the weight of the world No longer feeling like i’m odd – i’m unusual I’m friends with all of the thunder and storm Cause all it’s made me is Taller than this, taller than this, taller than that I embrace myself Changed every way All the ways – I do Threw them away My old ways – I do I sage myself Changed what i eat, what i speak and do Threw them away my old ways – i do And I’m not shaming me no more No longer feeling like i’m odd (like i’m odd, yeah) I must be dreaming cause I’m out of this world I must be running wild cause it’s so unusual I’ve always waited, hoped, the raining would stop But all it’s made me is Taller than this, taller than this, taller than that No longer weighing all the weight of the world No longer feeling like i’m odd – i’m unusual I’m friends with all of the thunder and storm Cause all it’s made me is Taller than this, taller than this, taller than that I embrace myself (I’m no longer afraid) Changed every way All the ways – I do Threw them away My old ways – I do I sage myself Changed what i eat, what i speak and do Threw them away my old ways – i do Yeah
I want to live my life
Following the magic lights
I owe me this
The one place to be
I want to see the world
I’m an ocean I can dive in and retrieve your words
Unspoken yet
What I am to you
What I am to you
To you
I’ve reached the end of a road
In a life that it was all I’ve ever known so far
I wish you could see or understand
Cause what I see ain’t something you see
With your own two eyes
It takes heart to see beyond what is or is not
It takes heart to be who you were before they told you who you’re not
It takes heart to be who you are
It takes heart
It takes heart to live as you want
It takes heart
It takes heart so don’t you break it, no
None’s unmistaken
But my heart I have left open wide
Despite my past
So don’t you fuck with it or you get cut
It took cure out of me
What makes you light up
Make sure you go with it
Live from the heart out
Not your parents’ fears
Live like it pours out of your heart
Catching no more tears
Go paint a smile full of suns in a golden field
And when you’re done go make sure
You’ve paid it forth
Cause it takes heart
It takes heart to be who you are
So be it
All these songs sound like another
And I wonder where I fit in
There’s days I think I could have tried harder
Should’ve sold me out to make it big
And all these people asking why you’re not that famous
And all these naked girls telling me to be more shameless
Yet carry shame and play the game and bleed your pain
For people to dance to
And open door
But you’re not human in it
Must be something wrong with you if you’re not choosing it
Well I
I wanna be human
I wanna be me
I wanna create and be at peace with me
I wanna help people
And not dumb them down
I don’t wanna have to drink to numb it all out
I wanna be human
Don’t care about stars
I’m shinning my light
I’m loving my life
And that is enough
People don’t know I’ve sat at tables
Talking business with the greats
Turning down sexual favours
Or contracts wanting me to slave
And all these people asking why you’re not on TV
I’m sure there’s honest people out there who can see me
Until then
I won’t carry shame
And play the game
And bleed my pain for people to dance to
An open door
But you’re not human in it
Must be something wrong with you if you’re not choosing it
I wanna be human
I wanna be me
I wanna create and be at peace with me
I wanna help people
And not dumb them down
I don’t wanna have to drink to numb it all out
I wanna be human
Don’t care about stars
I’m shinning my light
I’m loving my life
And that is enough
And all these people asking why you’re not on TV
I tried to change me while I died so I could be me
Oh yeah
And all these people asking why you’re not that famous
And these people asking
Asking
And I made peace with that
Not feeling like I’m lacking
For not choosing something others would kill for
I wouldn’t kill for anything
I’m for life
As a human
I know there’s a lot about my past I need to overcome. I know sometimes I just don’t feel like talking to anyone. But be patient. Be patient with me. Be brave, yeah. Cause I swear I’m gonna be so much better when I’m done with this. Heaven knows I try to keep my head above water.
