India Arie - Beautiful Surprise

Filed under: I — Tags: , , — admin @ 12:04

It’s like yesterday
I didn’t even know your name
Now today
You’re always on my mind
I never could have predicted that I feel this way
You are a beautiful surprise

Intoxicate everytime I hear you voice
You gotta me
All the natural highs
Almost like
I didn’t even have a choice
You are a beautiful surprise

Whatever it is you came to teach me
I am here to learn it cause
I believe that we are written in the stars
I don’t know the future holds
From living in the moment

And I’m thank full for the man that
You are you are you are …

You are everything I ask for in my prayers
So I know my angels brought you to my life
Your energy is healing to my soul
You are a beautiful surprise

You are inspiration to my life
You are the reason why I smile
You are a beautiful surprise

India Arie “Ready for love”

Filed under: I — Tags: , , — admin @ 01:43
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’ll say the same thing

I am ready for love
Would you please lend me your ear?
I promise I won’t complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here

If you give me half a chance
I’ll prove this to you
I will be patient, kind, faithful and true
To a man who loves music
A man who loves art
Respect’s the spirit world
And thinks with his heart

I am ready for love
If you’ll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach
And do the best that I can

I am ready for love
Here with an offering of
My voice
My Eyes
My soul
My mind

Tell me what is enough
To prove I am ready for love

I am ready

India Arie - India\’s Song

Filed under: I — Tags: , — admin @ 08:07

Too much hypocracy
In this old southern town for me
Way back in 1619 began
This tragic story
Thrown into slavery the crime
Was the color of skin
Never to see the light of the past again

Chorus:
I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song
I wanna go where the rivers run deep enough to drown my shame
I wanna go where the stars shine bright enough to show me the way
And I wanna go where the wind calls my name
The wind is calling India India India

It’s a typical Savannah day
So I take my guitar to the park and I play
Sitting up under the live oak tree
The strangest feeling came over me
Is this the tree where my borther was hung?

Is this the ground where his body was burned?
God gave to me the gift of song
So I dedicate this one

Chorus

Superiority, who have you better than me
Wasting precious time on racist mentality
This is only the beginning
The flesh we’ll be pushing up daisies in the end
Cause spirit knows no color
Either you’re a hater or a lover

Chorus
