Empowerment

I feel like everyone has songs of empowerment. Those feel good songs that make you feel almost invincible. Almost all of mine are actually Worship songs. Except this one. But I really like this one:





Everyday I fight for
All my future somethings
A thousand little wars
I have to choose between
I could spend a lifetime
Earning things that I don't need
But that's like chasing rainbows
And coming home empty
And if you strip me,
Strip it all away
If you strip me,
What would you find
If you strip me,
Strip it all away
Ill be alright

Take what you want
Steal my pride
Build me up
Or cut me down to size
Shut me out
But I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
but you ain't taking that from me
Oh oh no you ain't taking that from me

I don't need a microphone, yeah,
To say what I been thinking
My heart is like a loudspeaker
That's always on eleven
And if you strip me,
Strip it all away
If you strip me,
What would you find

If you strip me,
Strip it all away
I'm still the same

Take what you want
Steal my pride
Build me up
Or cut me down to size
Shut me out
But I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
but you ain't taking that from me
Oh oh no you ain't taking that from me

'Cuz when it all boils down
At the end of the day
It's what you do and say
That makes you who you are
Makes you think about it,
Think about it
Doesn't it?
Sometimes all it takes is one voice

Take what you want
Steal my pride
Build me up
Or cut me down to size
Shut me out
But I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
but you ain't taking that from me
Oh oh no you ain't taking that from me

wow... she is gorgeous! i never saw her before. also, that is a good song (never heard that before either!). so that sort of music im really into 'born this way' from lady gaga and 'video' by india arie (i think that is how it's spelled). i used to love that song in middle/high school though...

"Who you are" is what comes OUT!
Jesus said that a person is not defiled by what goes in but by what comes out.
Lord have mercy on ME!
