[00:30.35]She rested her head upon my chest
[00:33.05]Sensed liberation in between breaths
[00:35.50]Wonder if sex is what she found it in
[00:38.19]Peace, found it laying down with men
[00:40.71]Wasn't there to judge her, many ways I loved her
[00:43.16]It was more than bodies we shared with each other
[00:45.55]We lay under the cover of friends
[00:47.97]A place where many lovers begin
[00:50.30]I began, to feel her body shake in my hand
[00:52.75]Body language, it's so hard trying to understand
[00:55.32]Usually after sex, it's a good feel
[00:57.65]Shook by silence, emotion stood still
[01:00.39]I could feel a tear spill from her grille
[01:02.72]Hurt from before that began to build
[01:04.85]She told me hold me, the story she assembled it
[01:07.80]Tellin' it, trying not to remember it
[01:10.00]It was a story of innocence taken
[01:12.25]Thought she could redeem, through love makin'
[01:14.64]When she was eight she was raped by her father
[01:17.21]And tried to escape through multiple sex partners
[01:19.60]Felt pitiful, she had only learned,
[01:21.92]To love through the physical, inside it burned
[01:24.29]My heart turned, I thought of what this man did
[01:27.12]She forgave him, she grew to understand it
[01:29.43]Her soul was tired and never really rested
[01:31.61]Only with men through aggression
[01:33.55]Said it was a blessing and it happened for a reason
[01:35.98]By speaking it, she found freedom
[01:38.60]Between me and you
[01:40.00]Sometimes I wish a, careless whisper
[01:42.93]Still could be heard, without speaking a word
[01:47.82]Because of you I'm stronger, I'm afraid no longer
[01:52.65]I feel so alive lately, you have liberated me
[01:57.62]She laid, I watched her breathe
[01:59.74]Happy to be here, not afraid to leave
[02:02.73]I couldn't conceive her not being here
[02:05.29]Death in her face her not having fear
[02:07.66]Less than a year she was diagnosed with it
[02:10.03]Memories of that year, so close and vivid
[02:12.47]Happiness, would only visit, once in a while
[02:15.29]To watch an adult, becoming a child
[02:17.74]Somehow, I knew she'd make it
[02:20.19]The life of one so given early would God take it?
[02:22.76]Hurt she placed in, hope and prayer
[02:25.09]Hurt she placed in chemo and lost hair
[02:27.40]I stare with my eyes closed
[02:29.28]Wonder when the body leave does the mind go
[02:32.11]Watchin' Jordan became less important
[02:34.24]Seeing this disease eat away my aunt's organs
[02:36.80]According to doctors there's no cure
[02:39.00]We went through doubt, and cases of insure
[02:42.26]Wish I knew then how to heal with herbs
[02:44.77]Knew a part of her I could heal with words
[02:46.79]But the Creator was sending for her
[02:48.99]What seemed like the end was the beginning for her
[02:51.42]Like that, she didn't want us to remember her
[02:54.25]No more medication did she want us to give to her
[02:56.69]It spread from her liver to her lungs to her last breath
[02:59.64]Only to be freed through death
[03:02.09]Between me and you
[03:03.40]
[03:25.54]He spoke with his eyes, tear-filled
[03:27.68]A lump in his throat, his fear built
[03:30.38]My whole life it was instilled
[03:32.69]This ain't the way that men feel
[03:35.40]A feeling, he said he wish he could kill
[03:37.96]A feeling, not even time could heal
[03:40.41]This is how real life's supposed to be
[03:42.49]For it to happen to someone close to me?
[03:45.04]So far we'd come, for him to tell me
[03:47.68]As he did, insecurity held me
[03:50.07]I felt like he'd failed me
[03:52.20]To the spirit yelled 'help me'
[03:54.90]I'd known him for like what seemed forever
[03:57.35]About going pro we dreamed together
[03:59.60]Never knew it would turn out like this
[04:01.99]For so long he'd tried to fight this
[04:04.81]Now there was no way for him to ignore it
[04:07.01]His parents found out and hated him for it
[04:09.46]How could I judge him? Had to accept him if I truly loved him
[04:13.22]
[04:14.28]No longer he said had he hated himself
[04:16.65]Through sexuality he liberated himself
[04:20.08]Between me and you
[04:24.84]
[05:33.95]Liberation...
[05:44.23]Peace
