The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill · The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
The past it seems so far away
And life squeezes so tight that i can't breathe
And every time i try to be, what someone else has thought of me
So caught up, i wasn't able to achieve
But deep in my heart, the answer it was in me,
And i made up my mind to define my own destiny
I look at my environment
And wonder when the fire went
What happened to everything we used to be
I hear so many cry for help searching outside of themselves
Now i know that his strength is within me
And deep in my heart the answer it was in me
And i made up my mind to define my own destiny.
And deep in my heart
And deep in my heart the answer it was in me
And I made up my mind to define my own....destiny
