Hey J
It's been a long time since
I've seen you last
A half and twenty six years
(My, time is fast)
I'm well
Though I've gone through
Some deep changes in my life
It hasn't been easy
Oh no, not for me
It's been difficult at times
Sometimes I sit down and cry
And ask God, Oh why?
(Fair, what is?)
I know how you’re feelin'
Same thing I did deal with
You're not as alone as you may feel
You see, but oh
It catches up to us fast
We have to deal with the past
I know it's painful but
There you'll find specialness
'Cause everybody needs to feel real special
We need to remember
That love lies deep within ourselves
We have to want it so
It starts with us and no one else
We must learn
We're all born with specialness inside of us
I have the need to feel real special too
You see, you can't run away from your pain
Because where ever you run, there you will be
You have to learn to water your spiritual garden
Then you will be free
(I know how you’re feelin')
I know how you’re feelin'
(Same thing I did deal with)
Same thing I did deal with
(You're not as alone as you may feel)
You're not as alone as you may feel
You see, but oh
It catches up to us fast
We have to deal with the past
I know it's painful but
There you'll find specialness
'Cause everybody needs to feel real special
We need to remember
That love lies deep within ourselves
We have to want it so
It starts with us and no one else
We must learn
We're all born with specialness inside of us
I have the need to feel real special too
Work in progress
Nothing's gonna stop us
We can't be stopped
I know that it's not been easy
Tryin' to make it in this crazy world
The people around you try to stop you
Stomp you, sayin' that you don't belong
You must remember that (you must remember)
You were born with blood of kings and queens
And can't be stopped (can't be stopped)
Stay strong, my sister, you can't be stopped
(You have to stay strong, my sister)
No, you can't be stopped (my sister, you can't be stopped)
I know that sometimes you get to feelin'
I've given up on you
The pressure seems to, to defeat you
Beat you, whenever you can't go on
You must remember that (you must remember)
You were born with blood of kings and queens
And can't be stopped
Stand tall, my brother
You can't be stopped
(Stand tall, my brother)
No, you can't be stopped
Don't ever let nobody tell you you ain't strong enough
Strong enough
Don't let nobody tell you you ain't strong enough
Don't let nobody tell you
You know that I will be right here to
Remind you that we need togetherness
'Cause the long ride has not forgot you
Don't forget where you come from
You must remember that (you must remember)
You were born with blood of kings and queens
And can't be stopped
Stay strong, my sister
(Stay strong, my sister)
You can't be stopped
No, you can't be stopped
(You can't be stopped, my sister)
You must remember that (you must remember)
You were born with blood of kings and queens
And can't be stopped
Stand tall, my brother
You can't be stopped
(Stand tall, my brother)
No, you can't be stopped
(No, you can't be stopped)
Strong enough
Don't let nobody tell you you ain't strong enough
Don't let nobody tell you you ain't
Strong enough
Don't let nobody tell you you ain't strong enough
Don't let nobody tell you you ain't
Strong enough
Don't let nobody tell you you ain't strong enough
