She moved into my old apartment That's how we got this whole thing started She called and said that I had mail Waiting there for me I told her that I'd come and get it How could I know in just a minute That I'd be standing face to face With my own destiny Oh and we sat there talkin' just like we were old friends Oh then I asked her, "Can I see you again?" And she said, "Yes!" And I said, "Wow! And she said, "When?" And I said, "How about right now!" Love can't wait Then I asked if she believed in fate And she said, "Yes!" But days flew by just like a fast train And nothing else has been on my brain Except the thought of how she makes me The man I want to be She's the one I want for a million reasons Loving her is just like breathin' It's easy and it's obvious That she was made for me Oh then it happened one night lookin' in her eyes Oh when I popped the question much to my surprise She said, "Yes!" And I said, "Wow! And she said, "When?" And I said, "How about right now!" Love can't wait Then I asked if she believed in fate And she said, "Yes!" So we called the preacher, family and friends And nothin's been the same since... She said, "Yes!" And I said, "Wow! And she said, "When?" And I said, "How about right now!" Love can't wait Then I asked if she believed in fate And she said, "Yes!" She said, "Yes!"

I don't wanna write this down I wanna tell you how I feel right now I don't wanna take no time to write this down I wanna tell you how I feel right now How I feel right now, yeah, hmm, hey Tomorrow may never come For you or me, life is not promised (Promised) Tomorrow may never show up For you or me, this life is not promised (Promised) I ain't no perfect man I'm tryin' to do the best that I can With what it is I have I ain't no perfect man I'm tryin' to do, the best that I can With what it is I have Put my heart and my soul into this song, you feel me? From where I am, to wherever you are, I mean that sincerely, yeah To see my people not shine I swear that it kills me, if you got a light, gotta be bright Remember the times they tried to conceal me, yeah Tomorrow may never come For you or me, this life is not promised (Promised) Tomorrow may never appear You better hold this very moment (Moment) Very close to you right now (Very close to you, very close to you) (Close to you) Don't be afraid, afraid to shine Afraid to shine, shine, afraid to shine Afraid to shine, shine, afraid to shine My Umi said, "Shine your light on the world" Shine your light for the world to see My Abi said, "Shine your light on the world" Shine your light for the world to see I want black people to be free, to be free, to be free (My Umi said, "Shine your light on the world") I want black people to be free, to be free, to be free (Shine your light for the world to see) I want my people to be free, to be free, to be free (My Abi said, "Shine your light on the world") I want black people to be free, to be free, to be free (Shine your light for the world to see) (Shine your light for the world to see) (My Abi said, "Shine your light on the world") (Shine your light for the world to see) Sometimes I get discouraged I look around and things are weak I know this world produce some evils But won't let my heart skip a beat Sometimes I just wanna fly away Skip the stress for brighter days I turn my every day into a holiday Turn Sundays into Fathers Day I never wanna jump in the water (Water) There's something going on outside These people that's running in the world Enough money and loads of pride I'm sayin', just open your eyes It's all right in front of you, see? When my daughter grow up and hear this song The message just be what you wanna be Be the change that you really wanna see I just hope and believe for that Jump through hoops and achieve for that Pick up my sword and probably bleed for that That's all that matters to me That's all that matters to me That's all that matters to me That's all that matters to me That's all that matters to me That's all that matters to me That's all that matters to me
