Messages From a Song:
By: Corinne Bailey Rae
Three little birds sat on my window
And they told me I don't need to worry
Summer came like cinnamon, so sweet
Little girls, double-dutch on the concrete
Maybe sometimes we got it wrong, but it's all right
The more things seems to change, the more they stay the same
Ooh, don't you hesitate Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope [I'll help] you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down [relax]
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely
Sipping tea in a bar by the road side (Just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you
Gotta love that Afro hairdo
Maybe sometimes we feel afraid, but it's all right
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change
Don't you think it's strange?
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire [a divine crystal affiliated with great power and magic] and faded jeans
I hope [I'll help] you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
Just more than I could take
Pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake
I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realize that you don't even have to try any longer?
[stop auditioning, you already got the role]
Do what you want to
[follow your bliss, follow your joy, live for yourself, love yourself]
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
[have a dance party, dance, be free, live in your truth and harmony]
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope [I'll help] you get your dreams
Just go ahead, [LEAP] let your hair down [WE WILL CATCH YOU -- that is, unless you fly and don't need catching]
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope [I'll help] you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
Ooh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
[You'll get there, you don't need to know how, but you should know where]

You Know Who You Are
You can go far
But first you need to release the past
You can't begin anew if you're still on your last
You made a promise and its not to me
Its only you who can make you free
I can't be involved with another she
So please, if you do want me,
Love yourself first,
Release the curse,
Remember who you are before you burst,
Don't expect me to complete you,
because only YOU can do that, boo boo
I am complete. I am whole. I don't need you to own my throne.
I am a Queen, no in-between,
and it is I who chooses who will be my King.
You think you're hot shit, and maybe you are,
but remember, you need to love yourself first if you wanna go far.
I can't protect you and I can't set you free,
Only you can do that and soon you will see,
You for you and me for me
In order to be together, we must first be free
Be who you are meant to be
You don't need me
I don't need you
Once we free ourselves, we can be true
