Sulwe's Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been looking high and low
Far and wide above below
Turning boxes inside out
I've been going round and round
Never thought that I would find the key
Inside me
When I feel a little down
And all I want to do is frown
I close my eyes and then I say
Everything will be okay
I've got every possibility
Inside me
And I'm so happy that I find the key
Inside me
Mama told me
Shine your light for
Everybody
Everybody
Baba told me
Shine your light for
Everybody
There's beauty in my fingertips
Beauty in my hair and lips
Beauty in the way I speak
Beauty in my dancing feet
Beauty when I love what I can be
Inside me
So when you feel a little down
And all you want to do is frown
Close your eyes and then you say
Everything will be okay
You've got what it takes to make it through
Inside you
Yeah you've got what it takes to make it through
Inside you
Mama told me
Shine your light for
Everybody
Everybody
Baba told me
Shine your light for
Everybody
Everybody
Sister told me
Shine your light for
Everybody
Everybody
My brother told me
Shine your light for
Everybody
Everybody
I've been looking high and low
Far and wide above below
Mama told me
Shine your light for
Everybody
Everybody
There's beauty in my fingertips
Beauty in my hair and lips
Baba told me
Shine your light for
Everybody
Everybody
Mama told me
Shine your light for
Everybody
Everybody
