Women gonna rise like the water
Gonna shut oppression down
I hear the voice of my great grandaughter
Saying “fight for me, fight for me now”
You knocked her down
But now she’s back up
This war is far from won
You underestimated
Now she’s liberated
Look look at what she’s done
She got hit but she ain’t had
She got tears but they won’t last
She’s a daughter of the new revolution
She’s a-coming, seeking retribution
Ooo she’s a warrior
Ooo and she don’t take any prisoners
Ooo you shoulda thought twice before messin’ with the woman
Ooo cause she’s a warrior
Her mama told her
Her mama warned her
Honey there’s a kind of man
He’ll steal your magic
Make you average
Try to pin you down and chain your hands
But bowing down ain’t a woman’s place
We worked too hard to be erased
Keep your head up, show ‘em what you’re made of
And when in doubt, remember who you came from
Ooo she’s a warrior
Ooo and she don’t take any prisoners
Ooo you shoulda thought twice before messin’ with the woman
Ooo she’s a warrior
(Aww yeah she is)
Women gonna rise like the water
Gonna shut oppression down
I hear the voice of my great granddaughter
Saying “fight for me, fight for me now”
(Women gonna rise like the water)
Ooo she’s a warrior
(Women gonna rise like the water)
Ooo and she don’t take any prisoners
(Women gonna rise like the water)
Ooo you shoulda thought twice before messin’ with the woman
Women gonna rise, oh women gonna rise
Ooo she’s a warrior

Glimmer

Breathe in, breathe out
Make it to the next one
Next hour, next minute
Push until the next one
And when I wake up in the morning
I'm praying that it's better than
The one before
Cause all this living is just
Breathe in, breathe out
Make it to the next one
Ooohhh
Tryna keep my head up
Tryna believe that I'm made for something
And that theres gotta be, gotta be
More than all this nothing
And when everybody's racing
And rushing through the finish line
Throwing up their hands
Into the sky
Tryna keep my head up
Tryna believe that I'm made for something
Ooohhh
What is this feeling that I've got?
A glimmer of light in the dark
The crack of a window
A curtain pulled back
It's been such a long time
Since I've had
Hope
What is this feeling that I've got?
A glimmer of light in the dark

You are my favorite word
You are my favorite face
You are my favorite moment
Of every single day
You are my favorite person
You are my favorite smile
You are my favorite heartbeat
To fall asleep to every night
And if you would take my name
If you would be mine
I promise to cherish every hour, every minute
That you are my wife
Cause we have my favorite story
We have my favorite home
We have my favorite front door
Where you kiss me and say “don’t go”
We have my favorite memories
We have my favorite glances
We have my favorite hard times
Cause I’ve got your hand in mine
And if you would take my name
If you would be mine
I promise to cherish every hour, every minute
That you are my wife
Yes I will
Yes I will
You have my favorite hands
You have my favorite eyes
You have my favorite kisses
Cause they make me feel alive
And out of all of the things I’ve seen
In this great big world
By far the most magnificent
Is that of my girl
Cause you are my favorite

Gonna keep you a secret
Gonna keep you to myself
Cause no one needs to know
No no one needs to know
Gonna put you over ice
Drink you like I like
It feels so good
How can it not be right?
Gonna keep you a secret
Gonna keep you to myself
Cause you’re in my head
Head ohhhh
You’re in my head
I tried to resist you
I tried but I can’t
But we don’t need to tell em
Cause they won’t understand
Gonna open up your bottle
Put you in my hand
Place you on my tongue
Feeling you again
I tried to resist you
I tried but I can’t
Cause you’re in my head
Head ohhhh
You’re in my head
I got a love that loves me she treats me real good
(She treats you real good yeah)
But then you come around and I don’t love her like I should
(Like you should yeah)
Its the way you taste
The way you feel
The way you say my name
I’m calling for another hit
And I’m the one to blame
Cause you’re in my head
Head ohhhh
You’re in my head
You’re in my head
I want so badly to be good
That’s its killing me inside
And everybody tells me
I can make it if I try
Oh but mother mother help me
Put me in your hand
I’m trying to last another day
And I don’t think I can
Cause you’re in my head
Head ohhhh
You’re in my head
You’re in my head
You’re in my head
You’re in my head
You’re in my head

Feelin Crazy

Electricity
Coursing through my veins
I see you talking, talking
But I can’t hear a thing
From the tips of my fingers
To the freckles on my nose
There’s a strange kind of feeling
Buzzin in my bones
Ooo I can’t drown it out
Cause the static is too loud
Ooo the drugs they gave me
Won’t you sedate me?
Now I’m feeling crazy
Ooo feeling crazy
Ooo feeling crazy
Another cup of coffee
To cut through the haze
Living a grayscale life
In a medicated daze
From the tips of my fingers
To the freckles on my nose
There’s a strange kind of fog
Pushing down my bones
Ooo I’m calling out
But I can’t make a sound
Ooo the drugs they gave me
They sedate me
Now I’m feeling crazy
Oooo feeling crazy
Oooo feeling crazy
This haze I’m in is doing me, doing me in
This haze I’m in is doing me, doing me in

Smoke Signals
04:31
|
|
||
|
You always have to remind yourself when you’re in the middle of a bad bout that...it ends.
I’ve been fighting for my life
But the shadows finally run me down
Now this forest is closing in, closing in
And I can’t make a sound, I can’t make a sound
I’ve got to get to higher ground
To ignite the spark left in me
Oh the air is thick with doubt
But I’ve got to find my way out
I’m sending smoke signals
Where there’s smoke there is fire
I’m sending smoke signals
Where there’s hope there is desire to go on
Searching for the light
When standing in the sun
I may be lost but I’m not done
I’m sending smoke signals
I could just give in
(I love you)
Let the ground swallow me, swallow me
(You’re my heart)
But what’s this all been for
If not to be free, if not to be free?
I remember better days
I hold them close to my chest
Cause even the smallest star
Still shines in the darkness
I’m sending smoke signals
Where there’s smoke there is fire
I’m sending smoke signals
Where there’s hope there is desire to go on
Searching for the light
When standing in the sun
I may be lost but I’m not done
I’m sending smoke signals
Smoke signals (repeated, w/ choir)
Can you hear me? (repeated, w/ choir)
I’m still here
You may not feel the significance of your life but I know my life would not be anywhere near as rich if you were not in it. I know you think I’m strong and I know it and you’ve told me that many times but baby I got nothin’ on you.

Be Not Afraid

I can feel you
I can’t stop you
And I don’t want to
So I won’t
They can’t see us
They can’t stop us
And even if they could
We’d keep going, going, going
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid of them
I'm not scared of what they'll say
Holding you is worth the pain
Of what’s coming
So I whisper your name
And I look at your face
Never thought i’d get this close
Never let myself hope
I turn on the light
And I pull back the shade
Let them find us
I’m not ashamed, ashamed, ashamed
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid of them
I'm not scared of what they'll say
Holding you is worth the pain
Of what’s coming
Because it’s not wrong.
No it’s not wrong.
Our love is not wrong.
Our love’s not wrong.
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid of them
I'm not scared of what they'll say
Holding you is worth the pain
Of what’s coming
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid

I'm Still Here

All of this running and racing I forgot
That I’ve got two feet
And I’m proud of where I’ve been
Bruised and I’m tired
Burned by the fire
But I’ve kept moving
All of this running and racing I forgot
That I’m still here
I’ve been so busy just asking and begging
When does the good start?
When will I arrive?
Wasting my time
Rushing through life
Too blind to see that I’m still alive
All of this running and racing I forgot
That I’m still here
Sometimes the best I can do is wake up
Open my eyes put a brave face on
Ignore the lies in my mind
That say I’m better off
Dead than alive
And in this war against Living
I’m proud of myself for not giving in
I’m still waking
I’m still crying
I’m still laughing
I’m still trying
I’m still holding
I’m still breathing
I’m still talking
I’m still screaming
I’m still giving
I’m still taking
I’m still bending
But I’m not breaking
Cause I’m still here

Shaking Hands

Shaking hands
Holding shaking hands
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
I see it in your eyes
Your ache inside
Mirrors mine
I’ll carry you through
Though the light might hide
The light my hide
So carry what you can
And I will do the rest
Cause your burden is my burden
Shaking hands
Holding shaking hands
You are never never
Alone
