Acoustic Soul lyrics

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

[Chorus]
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

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

When I think about the turn my life has taken
I know it's because of you, that I receive so many blessings
I had a home but no privacy, I didn't know a thing about my legacy
When I realized you were there for me, I called on your name and you came
And you did, just what you said, for that I'll love you forever
You kept, your word to me, for that I'll love you forever

[Chorus]

Now that you're right here,
Let me whisper in your ear
Now that you're listening,
Let me tell you how I fill
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
Its

[Chorus]
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)

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
A change gon' come...

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

[Chorus]

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 know
Oh, Oh Yeah

[Verse]
Hey baby
Why you rushing
Let's sit back and watch the flowers grow
Why you want
To swim against the tide
Let's lay and watch the river flow

Here in god's creation
There is always a reason
I know, that love is there for us
Yeah

[Chorus]
Where we'll go, baby I don't know
Maybe we should just let nature run the show
Where we'll go, baby I don't know

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

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,

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

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

[Chorus]
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

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

easy like sunday morning, like an angel callin he's taking me all in,
im embracing him with my skin, like a pillar of light a vision
of light and he's so perfect that i couldnt picture him if i tried,
see some may come some may go but i'll but i'll follow you
where ever you go your the perfect mate for my soul and
i know why i lose control, i lose control whenever im around you, yea

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 then 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

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
This is a song for you

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,

Can you be a part of my life?
can you be a part of my life?

Oh it's easy to find someone to play with
and almmost anyone will do tt fill your idle time.
but that very special someone
you can share all your dreams with is so hare to find

And it use to be like me to settle for the physical
but these days it ain't too easy to make up my mind
