Aim High
John Legend · Love In The Future [2013]
Girl, I know you're hurt
Did you know that you can dry your pillows with your dreams and smile
It really works
Lay your head back in my arms, oh, I know your worth
So just reach inside your heart and pack your bags
And let's leave this earth
Let's aim high, oh girl
All you gotta do is close your eyes and - and visualize
Let's aim high
You work so hard for your boss, to him it's just work
Never considers your dreams, selfish and mean
Damn, that's gotta hurt
Just lay your head back in my arms, girl
I know you're worth
So allow me indulge your mind with these words
Open your eyes, you're now a bird
Let's aim high, girl
All you gotta do is close your eyes and - and visualize
You possess the power to do
If you concentrate, mountains will move
If you just believe that it's true
Please make no mistake I'll be there too
You possess the power to do
If you concentrate, mountains will move
If you just believe that it's true
Make no mistake I'll be there too
Let's aim high
