Lyrics
Live and Learn
Written by: Stephanie Fields Lightfoot
November 2003
Verse I
I know you’ve seen me around the way
You never knew that I could flow this way
I come across in a humble way, I Know
But My flow will blow your mind and free your soul.
Come with me and I’ll talk with you
Reveal my thoughts and listen to you
Tell me what inspires you
I’m interested in your point of view
Chorus
Cause I live and learn I’m living life
Everyday I live and learn
My words are made from living life
Everyday I live and learn
Through everyone I meet in life
Everyday I live and learn
Verse II
So now tell me all about you
Do you have piece of mind Is life good to you
Where are you from where are you going to
I’m interested in the things you do
Are you true to your heart do you want to be a part of
Something new
Are you open to what life has for you
Are you open to whats there for you
Chorus
I could tell you where I’ve been
Who I met what I’ve seen and how I’m opening
Each day I stay true to life and it’s lessons, life’s lessons
I’m a queen stay true to my thrown,
Have two princesses of my own
I stand true to my integrity but that’s me
That’s all about me
Bridge
My life is what it is because of people like you, you and you
I have seen so many things that changed my life
Elevate my mind, hey
Verse III
I have a king he’s good to me
He keeps me open so I can see
He gives me balance to truly be
All the blessings lie right in front of me
My seeds give me energy,
with them I’m never empty no no
They give light to what’s inside of me,
I give thanks for thee..
Chorus
