Lighthouse - Jill Scott

I know, oh

I know

That look on your face

Says you’re going through some things

And for sure

Maybe for sure

I’m here

Mmm hmm here for you baby

Yes

Whatever it is

Trouble is deep

I can see by your eyes

They’re heavy to me

Talk to me baby

I am your shelter

You’re safe from harm

Tornado, lightening, hurricane

Can’t get by me

Come under my love

Feel the energy

Let go

Lay your burdens down (lay your burdens down)

Lay 'em down

Lay 'em down

Lay your burdens down

Lay 'em down

Lay 'em down

Lay your burdens down

Can’t get by me

Come under my love

Feel the energy

Let go

Lay your burdens down

Look here hol' up

You got a lot going on

I can see

By the way you walk

And how you got your shoulders on

Baby everybody get wet

When the rain is falling

Can’t stop now cause the wind is foreign

It’s a fact

Of the universe

That sometimes

Life is pain

And it can hurt

But I know

That it’ll get better

Because you’ve gone through worse

Hey

Whatever it is

Trouble is deep

I can tell by your eyes they’re heavy to me

Oh my baby

I am mmmm

Sitting here

Contemplating

If we should even be

See I’m in love with a man

Who loves me

For me

He’d do anything

Easily

Oh his heart knows no boundaries

But

He needs

Sometimes

To write

With a different pen

On different paper

He needs

Oh

He needs

He needs

Mmm hmmm

So I’m sitting here

Contemplating

If we should even be

Like him

I, too, have needs

Like

Like my thought on a beat

Hypnotic and sweet

Like

Part of the dream

And I need you

On the other side of the speaker

To look up a little more

And think a little deeper

And live in your truth

I need that too

I need to do that too

I need

Sitting here…

Contemplating
