Jill Scott - Lighthouse Lyrics






I know, oh
I know
That look on your face
Says you're going through some things
And for sure
Maybe for sure
I'm here
Mmm hmm here for you baby
Yes
Whatever it is
Trouble is deep
I can see by your eyes
They're heavy to me
Talk to me baby

[Chorus:]
I am your shelter
You're safe from harm
Tornado, lightening, hurricane
Can't get by me
Come under my love
Feel the energy
Let go
Lay your burdens down (lay your burdens down) [2x]

Lay 'em down
Lay 'em down
Lay your burdens down
Lay 'em down
Lay 'em down
Lay your burdens down
Can't get by me
Come under my love
Feel the energy
Let go
Lay your burdens down

Look here hol' up
You got a lot going on
I can see
By the way you walk
And how you got your shoulders on
Baby everybody get wet
When the rain is falling
Can't stop now cause the wind is foreign
It's a fact
Of the universe
That sometimes
Life is pain
And it can hurt
But I know
That it'll get better
Because you've gone through worse
Hey

Whatever it is
Trouble is deep
I can tell by your eyes they're heavy to me
Oh my baby
I am mmmm

[Chorus]

Sitting here
Contemplating
If we should even be
See I'm in love with a man
Who loves me
For me
He'd do anything
Easily
Oh his heart knows no boundaries
But
He needs
Sometimes
To write
With a different pen
On different paper
He needs
Oh
He needs
He needs
Mmm hmmm
So I'm sitting here
Contemplating
If we should even be
Like him
I, too, have needs
Like
Like my thought on a beat
Hypnotic and sweet
Like
Part of the dream
And I need you
On the other side of the speaker
To look up a little more
And think a little deeper
And live in your truth
I need that too
I need to do that too
I need

Sitting here…
Contemplating

    The Amazing Jill Scott has proved time and time agin that she represents that highly intuitive deeply nourishing exotic r and b style that is often called Neo Soul. (Willing) although short, vibes very intensity and the message is received spirituality as well as emotionally. Jill never stop being you! I'm so lucky to be alive to enjoy your gift.
