Lyrics
The love from a mother is a beautiful thing
She gave you life
And sometimes when I'm sitting on the floor of my soul
I feel her healing
She's always said to me "time is much too short to be living somebody else's life"
"Sweet child learn to love yourself,it can be a great,great feeling"
'Cause I ain't movin' from my face, from my race, from my history
Mhhm, mhhm, yeah, yeah
Love is my passion
Love is my friend
Love's universal
Love never ends
Then why am I faced with so much anger, so much pain?
Why should I hide? Why should I be ashamed?
Time's much too short to be living somebody else's life
I walk with dignity, I step with pride
'Cause I ain't a movin' from my face
From my race, from my history
I ain't a movin' from my love,my peacefull dove
It means too much to me
Loving self can be so hard
Honesty can be demanding
Learn to love yourself
It's a great, great feeling
When you're down, baby, I will set you free
I will be your remedy, I will be your tree
A wise man is clever, seldom ever speaks a word
A foolish man keeps talking
Never is he heard, na, na, na, no
Time's much too short to be living somebody else's life
I walk with dignity, I step with pride
'Cause I ain't a movin' from my face
From my race, from my history
I ain't a movin' from my love
My peaceful dove means too much to me
Loving self can be so hard
Honesty can be demanding
Learn to love yourself, it's a great, great feeling
Time's too lonely, too lonely without words
Future voices need to be heard
Eyebrows are always older than the beards
Mother said be brave, you've nothing to fear, darling
Time's much to short to be living somebody else's life
I walk with diginity, I step with pride
'Cause I ain't a movin' from my face
From my race, from my history
I ain't a movin' from my love
My peaceful dove means too much to me
Loving self can be so hard
Honesty can be demanding
Learn to love yourself, it's a great, great feeling
'Cause I ain't a movin' from my face
From my race, from my history
I ain't movin' from my love
My peaceful dove means too much to me
Loving self can a be so hard
Honesty can be demanding
If we learn to love ourselves will have great, great feelings
'Cause I ain't a movin'
I've been here long before
I ain't movin' 'cause I want more
I ain't movin' I've got my feet on the ground, yes
As far as I'm concerned, you see
Love should win the rounds, believe me
Da ba dab dee dee
Ba da ba dee dee
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
