FREE! To laugh. To LOVE. To be unabashedly me.


Beautiful to me (beautiful to see)
Beautiful to see (you're finally free)
You're finally free (free, yeah)
And everything's better free

Don't let go, don't you know
You'll be alright, ease your mind, elevated
Don't look down, don't you frown
You'll be just fine, free your mind, elevated

See ya, freedom isn't given
It just is as you are, so be it, yeah
See ya, happiness is a state of mind
It shouldn't be affected by anything external, see

Breathe.... breathe
Peace, love...
Let yourself breathe
You're alright*

La da da dee da da da da


Go ahead and take your time, boy you gotta feel secure
Before I make you mine, baby, you have to be sure
You wanna be my lover, wanna be my lover, wanna be my lover
...
I hear what you say, I see what you do
I know everything I need to know about you
And I want you to know that it's telling me
You wanna be my lover*

Someday is NOW! Time to live OUTLOUD!

You can go
You can start all over again
You can try to find a way to make another day go by
You can hide
Hold all your feelings inside
You can try to carry on when all you want to do is cry

And maybe someday
We'll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now and
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow
Someday

Now wait

And try to find another mistake
If you throw it all away then maybe you can change your mind
You can run, oh
And when everything is over and done
You can shine a little light on everything around you
Man it's good to be someone*

Nothing sexier than a strong woman

 I hear your reasons why
Where did you sleep last night?
And was she worth it, was she worth it?

'Cos I'm strong enough

To live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go*

Two paths & a spirit that's crying



"There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
...
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder*

* Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin as performed by Mary J. Blige

I love this performance.  She killed it! And though she didn't sing this verse, here it is because it's my favorite!
"There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder."

Seasons & reasons change

I know that truth can hurt
but I'm glad that you told me
No pun intended
Everything is fire in the simili life
I know that truth hurts
I know that truth hurts
Truth hurts
...

Somebody was telling me, somebody
I could change my own season
Somebody was telling me, somebody
I could alter my reasons*

The consequences of neglecting a heart...



House for sale
I'm moving out
I'm moving on
This bird has flown
House for sale
I'll tell you where to redirect my mail
House for sale
Take a look inside
This is where love
Once did reside
But now it's gone
And that's the reason I'll be traveling on
