Tracy Chapman - All That You Have Is Your Soul Lyrics






Oh my mama told me
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
Say she wanna spare the children
She say don't give or sell your soul away
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul

I was a pretty young girl once
I had dreams I had high hopes
I married a man he stole my heart away
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
And all that you have is your soul

Why was I such a young fool
Thought I'd make history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one can't possess another
And all that you have is your soul

I thought thought that I could find a way
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
I'd take it all take it all I'd run away
Me for myself first class and first rate
But all that you have is your soul

Here I am waiting for a better day
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
'Cause all that you have is your soul

All that you have
All that you have
All that you have Is your soul

    Believe it or not, the only thing that a human being has is, his or her soul, tracey Chapman is my favorite artiste of all time, this b song is so inspiring and touching, as the good Bible says, what shall it profit a man to gain the world and lost his soul, so you see nothing of this world is worth losing b your soul for, more blessings, peace and love.

    I saw her in concert many years ago. Her touring bus was caught in traffic, they were an hour late. She did not cancel the concert. They showed up, set up and did a bang up job. Professional to the end. And, she is such a poet of our times. Always

    2019 and i am here😍🎶

  93. I.... H....

    When I was 11 I was introduced to Tracey Chapman, while visiting my grandmother in holland......😍

    Was it destiny? Was it meant to be? I guess both, as my mother wasn’t present, Tracey guided me towards believing in my self first and foremost.

    Tracy my sister.......her pain and suffering, her positive outlook and lyrics identified with my soul, and became my silent guidance.

    On a daily basis, She reminded me to always believe in me and don’t worry about those who take, because the intention of giving from the soul is the most precious gift, when u stand in your true power of being and giving with no expectations in the outcome....🏆🔑❤️🌍🌏🌎

    Till today she reminds me of my choices, and those who judged me, are merely insecure to express love, a true warrior is the one who can have empathy for others and no expectations of others.

    He fights for the well-being of the purpose itself, like the ultimate goal in this existence!

    Be yourself and love your soul!!!😘❤️

    And see others Love you for that and want to learn how u do that!

    Thank you Tracey Chapman
