about

I don't just want you to be happy
I want you to have joy
Cause can't nobody take that away from you

- Kirk Franklin

lyrics

You wanna know if you're to blame babe
They did you wrong and turned your smile fake
Your face's blue you had a bad dream
I ask you why you say the same thing

I know that you been going through it
I miss the moonlight that you came with
Gimme a low tide, dry your eyes
You'll find a new love, it's inside

(It ain't worth it
I'll kiss your fists
You'll get get through this
Just have faith sis)

[Chorus]
Look at your life
Look at the joy you give
Look at the world
Look at whats left to live
For life, for life, for life
For life, for life, for life

[Verse 2]
They don't give you wings to fly
You are perfect in my eyes
Ain't no point in asking why
Ain't no shame go head n cry

It's not easy but we try
We peer and mirrors and we lie
But they can't take away your light
You deserve a love like the sky

I wanna see you up so high

[Bridge]
You're so much stronger than they say
You burn so bright, you're burning brighter everyday

[Chorus]
Look at your life
Look at the joy you give
Look at the world
Look at whats left to live
For life, for life, for life
For life, for life, for life

Jamila Woods (“Milo”—vocals, loop pedal, poetry) and Owen Hill (“Otis” — bass guitar, imagination, production) are the two behind this earthy sound, which harks back to the heyday of R&B with a blend of what can only be labeled “Adventure Soul.” ... more
