Love is my passion, love is my friend Love's universal, love never ends Then why am I faced with so much anger, so my pain? Why should I hide? Why should I be ashamed?
Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life I walk with dignity, I step with pride
'Cause I ain't moving from my face, from my race, from my history I ain't movin' from my love, my peaceful dove, means too much to me And loving self can be so hard, honesty can be demanding Learn to love yourself it's a great, great feeling
When you're down baby, I will set you free I will be your remedy, I will be your tree A wise man is clever, seldom ever speaks a word A foolish man keeps talking, never is he heard, no no no no
Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life I walk with dignity, I step with pride
'Cause I ain't moving from my face, from my race, from my history I ain't movin' from my love, my peaceful dove, means too much to me And loving self can be so hard, honesty can be demanding Learn to love yourself it's a great, great feeling
Time's too lonely, too lonely without words Future voices need to be heard Eyebrows are always older than the beards Momma said be brave, you've nothing to fear and I, ooh
Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life I walk with dignity, I step with pride
'Cause I ain't moving from my face, from my race, from my history I ain't movin' from my love, my peaceful dove, means too much to me And loving self can be so hard, honesty can be demanding Learn to love yourself it's a great, great feeling
'Cause I ain't moving from my face, from my race, from my history I ain't movin' from my love, my peaceful dove, means too much to me And loving self can be so hard, honesty can be demanding If we learn to love ourself we'll have great, great feeling
