The Light 

I was sittin' here... 

Drinkin' another glass o'wine... 

Takin' another drag of I don't know how many joints tonight... 

Strummin' my guitar 

It seems like a voice somewhere tells me 

Girl, you don't need that outside praise 

of a man, your daddy or any other man - -

You are everything and more, more, more!

You are wonderful 

Beautiful 

and 

Oh so much more... 

The lil' voice I finally hear 

I stand up and want 

want to 

cheer 

I've lived so many days 

Livin' for other's praise 

Especially my Daddy's 

Waitin' for him to say 

I love you 

Lil' Girl 

I look no more for those words 

As of this day 

I hold my head high...

and know 

Finally know 

I am beautiful 

Exciting and 

fine 

I am ready to live my life 

On my own - 

My own - 

Rules 

Mine. 

Yours, or his or him or him or him, 

I no longer need your rules - 

words 

or 

whatever - 

I am 

Me. 

I am 

Wonderful

Devine 

Woman 

and oh so 

Fine. 

(X5) .... fade away... 

with a tambourine... on the fade away...
