"Strength, Courage & Wisdom" lyrics - INDIA.ARIE

[Intro:]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh

Inside my head, there lives a dream
That I wanna see in the sun
Behind my eyes, there lives a me
That I've been hiding for much too long
'Cause I've been, too afraid to let it show
'Cause I'm scared of the judgment that may follow
Always putting off my living for tomorrow

[Pre-Chorus:]
It's time to step out on faith
I've gotta show my face
It's been elusive for so long
But freedom is mine today
I've gotta step out on faith
It's time to show my face
Procrastination had me down
But look what I have found
I found

[Chorus:]
Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it's been inside of me all along
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me (Yeah)

Behind my pride, there lives a me
That knows humility
Inside my voice, there is a soul
And in my soul, there is a voice
But I've been, too afraid to make a choice
'Cause I'm scared of the things that I might be missing
Running too fast to stop to listen

[Pre-Chorus:]
It's time to step out on faith
I've gotta show my face
It's been elusive for so long
But freedom is mine today
I've gotta step out on faith
It's time to show my face
Procrastination had me down
But look what I have found
I found

[Chorus:]
Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it's been inside of me all along
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Pre-Bridge]
I close my eyes and I think of all the things that I wanna see
'Cause I know, now that I've opened up my heart
I know that anything I want, can be

[Bridge:]
So let it be, so let it be
So let it be, so let it be
So let it be, so let it be
So let it be, so let it be

[Chorus:]
Strength, courage, and wisdom
It's been inside of me all along
Strength, courage, wisdom
It's been inside of me all along, now every day I'm praying for
Strength, courage, and wisdom
To find, yeah, yeah, oh, oh
And it's been inside of me all along
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah

[Outro:]
I found it in me, and I found it finally
And I found it
I'm sure to keep it 'cause I like it, so I say thank you
I found it, oh, oh
I found it, hey, hey
