India Arie - the cure |
|
There's a girl who was raised to believe that love is suffering |
|
She grows up and the man like a father gives her a wedding ring |
|
Now she walks around up constant companion, |
|
our resentment, fear and sadness |
|
The lack of laughter turns to cancer, |
|
this song is dedicated to her |
|
The worst disease in the world |
|
It's not cancer, it's not aids |
|
The cure will not be found |
|
By any physicist or scientist |
|
Cause any cure living every single one of us |
|
The worst disease in the world is hate |
|
And the cure for hate is love |
|
Oh love, oh love, oh love |
|
Picture this: |
|
There's a boy who was abused when he was 12 years old |
|
Now guilt lives in the pit of his stomach and even though he's grown |
|
He believes he deserves to be punished, |
|
now he lives his life past and reckless |
|
Searching for love, helpless, this song is dedicated to him |
|
The worst disease in the world |
|
It's not cancer, it's not aids |
|
The cure will not be found |
|
By any physicist or scientist |
|
Cause any cure living every single one of us |
|
The worst disease in the world is hate |
|
And the cure for hate is love |
|
Oh love, oh love, oh love |
|
It may seem |
|
When I'm looking at the world through those kind of glasses |
|
I believe that it's so simple but sometimes it looks complicated |
|
God's love is like sunshine not be recognized |
|
The most powerful energy in the universe |
|
And all we have to do is use it |
|
You may think |
|
That there's nothing in the world that you can do but that ain't the truth |
|
The fact of the matter is the battle world begins with you |
|
Be the best person you can be |
|
Pass those values to your family |
|
And when you pray for those you love |
|
Say a prayer for humanity |
|
End |
