i don't need you to love me
i don't need you to love
i've got i've got
i've got my sister
i can't feel her now
she may not be here
but she still mine
and i know she still love me
i`ve got my children
i can`t hold them now
they may not be here
but they still mine
and i hope they know
i still love them
got my house it still keep
the cold out
got my chair when my body
can't hold out
got my hands doing good like
they spose too
showing my heart
to the folks that im close too
got my eye though they
don't see as far now
they see more bout
how things really are now
<interlude DF>
i'm gonna take a deep breath
i'm gonna hold my head up
i'm gonna put my shoulders back
and look you straight
in the eye
i'm gonna flirt with somebody
when they walk by
i'm gonna sing out sing out
i believe i have inside of me
everything that
i need to live a bountiful life
with all the love alive in me
i'll stand as tall
as the tallest tree
and i'm thanking
for each day that i'm given
both the easy and hard ones
i'm living
but most of all i'm thankful
for loving who i really am
i'm beautiful
yes i'm beautiful
and i'm here
