India.arie - Strength, Courage, & Wisdom lyrics

rate me

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

Strength, courage, and wisdom

And it's been inside of me all along,

Strength, courage, and wisdom

Inside of me

Bridge

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.

Chorus

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

Chorus

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

I'm sure to keep it' cause I like it, I say thank you
