You Are Meant To Be

January 30, 2012 by April

Dear One,

You are meant for a purpose. You are meant to be.

Lyrics

I’m looking around and I see more of the same
People looking for purpose, someone to blame
As I’m on my quest for fame, every day the places change
As they humble trying to play the game

I figured it out, my dreams are bigger than me
Been taken much further than I thought I would be
I’m so glad that I believe that God has plans for me
Mama told me it will happen, you’ll see
Yeah, yeah

Time for you to raise up
Time for you to get right
Time for you to get up
Time for you to be loud
Time for you to raise up
Get up, stand up, raise up

You gotta know who you are
You are meant for a purpose
What is meant for you is meant to be
You are meant to be

I couldn’t move forward ’til I let go off the past
I needed my freedom, I needed it bad
If we all could just forgive
It’s the only way to live
I have more now than I ever had

There is a path and it is written for you
Take your time to find the truth
What do you have to lose?
It’s time for you to choose
No one else can do it for you

Time for you to raise up
Time for you to get right
Time for you to get up
Time for you to be loud
Time for you to raise up
Get up, stand up, raise up

You gotta know who you are
You are meant for a purpose
What is meant for you is meant to be
You are meant to be

When judgment day comes, have you given your best?
Has the world been changed by the love that you left?
Forgive those who trespassed against you
Rise through the pain, let it go
What happened is done, it’s time to live again

You gotta know who you are
You are meant for a purpose
What is meant for you is meant to be
You are meant to be

Time for you to raise up
Time for you to get right
Time for you to get up
Time for you to be loud
Time for you to raise up
Get up, stand up, raise up

You gotta know who you are
You are meant for a purpose
What is meant for you is meant to be
You are meant to be

Time for you to raise up
Time for you to get right
Time for you to get up
Time for you to be loud
Time for you to raise up
Get up, stand up, raise up

You gotta know who you are
You are meant for a purpose
Raising for you is meant to be
You are meant to be

Raise up, get up
Raise up, get up
Raise up, get up
Raise up, get up
Raise up, get up
Raise up, get up

Get Up by Mary Mary

Lyrics

Layin’ Low
PRESS’N pause
Sleeping long
Slow motion
Gonna do
Shoulda, coulda, woulda done
Excuses

What are you afraid of?
Don’t you know what you’re made of?
One of God’s greatest creations
Take this invitation now

Get Up
‘Cause you can’t stop
Get Up
Got a lot to do
24 hours
almost gone
Get Up
Don’t sit there
Get Up
If you wanna get there
Clocks don’t stop and
Time won’t wait

He said, She said
They said, What do you say?
It’s your dreams
your choice
your time
your life
So don’t you
don’t you
miss it

What are you afraid of?
Don’t you know what you’re made of?
One of God’s greatest creations
Take this invitation now

Get Up
‘Cause you can’t stop
Get Up
Got a lot to do
24 hours

Get Up
Don’t sit there
Get Up
If you wanna get there
Clocks don’t stop and
Time won’t wait

Welcome to the rest of your life
from now on, just try
to live more, want more, work a little harder
dance more, laugh more, be a little smarter
hug a little longer, love a little stronger
you’ve been down but now it’s time to

Get Up
‘Cause you can’t stop
Get Up
Got a lot to do
24 hours
almost gone
Get Up
Don’t sit there
Get Up
If you wanna get there
Clocks don’t stop and
Time won’t wait (2x)

One more time, Say…
Get Up (x9)

Take One Step At A Time

January 30, 2012 by April

Dear One,

You can’t get back the time you spent. That’s ok. You’re doing the best you can now. I accept where you are now. You’re walking. One step at a time.

Walking by Mary Mary

Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Tell me what you see when I pass by
A shadow, a cloud, or a line in the sky
Am I gettin’ it wrong or am I gettin’ it right
Well, all I can take is one,
One step at a time

[Bridge:]
Look at me, I’m trying
Everyday, I fall down
Make mistakes
Get back up
Try again
Next time that you see me

[Chorus: 2x]
I’m walking, I’m walking, I’m walking
I’m walking, I’m walking, I’m walking

[Verse 2:]
Some people say walking takes too long
But I say with walking you can’t go wrong
Why should you rush your way through life
You won’t get very far, running all the time

[Bridge:]
Look at me, I’m trying
Everyday, I fall down
Make mistakes
Get back up
Try again
Next time that you see me

[Chorus: 2x]
I’m walking, I’m walking, I’m walking
I’m walking, I’m walking, I’m walking

[Bridge:]
What does my life say about me
Can anyone see
Does it show I rock with the Greatest
I can’t get back the time I spent
Use the rest of it
To show all the world how I made it

[Chorus: 4x]
I’m walking, I’m walking, I’m walking
I’m walking, I’m walking, I’m walking

Smile

I love you. Smile!

I Smile by Kirk Franklin

Lyrics
I dedicate this song to recession,
depression and unemployment.
This song’s for you.

Today’s a new day, but there is no sunshine.
Nothing but clouds, and it’s dark in my heart
and it feels like a cold night.
Today’s a new day, where are my blue skies,
where is the love and the joy that you promised me
you tell me it’s alright.

(I’ll be honest with you)
I almost gave up, but a power that I can’t explain,
fell from heaven like a shower now.

(When I think how much better I’m gonna be when this is over)
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile,
I know God is working so I smile,
Even though I’ve been here for a while (what you do?)
I smile, smile..
it’s so hard to look up when you’ve been down.
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile, so smile.

Today’s a new day, but there is no sunshine.
Nothing but clouds, and it’s dark in my heart,
and it feels like a cold night.
Today’s a new day, but tell me where are my blue skies,
where is the love and the joy that you promised me
you tell me it’s alright.

(the truth is)
I almost gave up, but a power that I can’t explain (the holy ghost power, yo)
fell from heaven like a shower now.

I smile, even though I hurt see I smile,
I know God is working so I smile,
Even though I’ve been here for a while
I smile, smile..
it’s so hard to look up when you’ve been down.
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile.

Smile.. for me
Can you just smile… for me.
Smile.. for me
Can you just smile… for me.

ohohoh you look so much better when you
ohohoh you look so much better when you
ohohoh you look so much better when you
ohohoh you look so much better when you
ohohoh you look so much better when you
(and while your waiting)
ohohoh you look so much better when you
(and while your praying)
ohohoh you look so much better when you
(look in the mirror)
ohohoh you look so much better when you
(always remember)
You look so much better when you smile

I almost gave up, but a power that I can’t explain (but the holy ghost power, yo)
fell from heaven like a shower now.

ohohoh (Dallas) you look so much better when you
ohohoh (New Orleans) you look so much better when you
ohohoh (Clevland) you look so much better when you
ohohoh (Detroit) you look so much better when you
ohohoh (Philay) you look so much better when you
ohohoh (Jersey) you look so much better when you
ohohoh (L.A) you look so much better when you
ohohoh (all my people say) you look so much better when you
smile…

See I just don’t want you to be happy
’cause you gotta have something happening.
I want you to have joy
’cause can’t nobody take that away from you.
I see you.. SMILE!!

Keep On

Keep on doing what you believe. I know we’re going to make it. Don’t let nobody take your hope away.

I am by Lina

Lyrics

Thought I’d seen it all
That’s when trouble called
They say troubles not your friend
But it helped me know who I am
Through my adversity
I discovered me
Healthy, strong and free

I know where I’m going
Love where I’ve been
I would do it all again
If in the end
It makes me the woman I am

Always here for you
Gonna be a friend
You know I’ll always love you
I want to see you _____

… chorus…
Keep on, keep on breaking down the walls
Keep on, keep on standin tall
Keep on settin the people free
It’s the only way to make it

Keep on fighting for the cause
We gotta keep on standin tall
Keep on doin what you believe
You know we’re going to make it

I am
Because I choose to be
Wonderful, at ease
Nothing holdin me
The sky’s the limit

Hold on to your pride
Don’t give way to doubt
We gotta keep pushin
Keep pushin
Come on!

I know where I’m going
I Love where I’ve been
I would do it all again
If in the end
It makes me the woman I am

Always here for you
Gonna be a friend
And you know I’ll always love you
I want to see you _____

… chorus…
Keep on, keep on breaking down the walls
Keep on, keep on standin tall
Keep on settin the people free
It’s the only way to make it

Keep on fighting for the cause
We gotta keep on standin tall
Keep on doin what you believe
You know we’re going to make it
Keep on

So many before us
They paved the way
They made it possible to have what we have today
Like many before us
We should learn from our mistakes
Struggle not in vain
Don’t let nobody take your hope away

… chorus…
Keep on, keep on breaking down the walls
Keep on, keep on standin tall
Keep on settin the people free
It’s the only way to make it

Keep on fighting for the cause
We gotta keep on standin tall
Keep on doin what you believe
You know we’re going to make it

… chorus…
Keep on, keep on breaking down the walls
Keep on, keep on standin tall
Keep on settin the people free
It’s the only way to make it

Keep on fighting for the cause
We gotta keep on standin tall
Keep on doin what you believe
You know we’re going to make it
