Wait Til You See My Smile - Alicia Keys

I've been in a quoting songs kinda mood recently - and it continues! I absolutely love this album - the Element of Freedom by Alicia Keys.

"And the day came, when the risk it took to remain tightly closed in a bud, was more painful than the risk it took to bloom. This is the element of freedom."

Absolute genius!

When the wind is blowing in your face,
Sometimes in life you don't see straight,
Pray to Him, He will show...

When your head is in a certain place,
Nobody around to make you safe,
Stand strong and you will grow...

oooo-ooo-ooooooo
Wait till you see my smile,
oooo-ooo-ooooooo
Wait till they see your smile,

Don't they love to see you down!
Kick you while you're on the ground,
Don't let emotions show...

People always speculate,
Don't let it get in your way,
See, they say things they don't know...

Wait till you see my smile,
Wait till they see your smile,

Hey,
So you're doing better now,
Everybody comes around,
But you don't really need 'em'cause you're stronger, and you're better and you're ready for whatever,
Sing

Wait till you see my smile,
Wait till they see your smile,
Wait till you see my smile,
Wait till they see your smile...
