So Have I For You

I am a woman with a mission and a past to outdo
 I don't need a gun I've got a microphone and a melody or two
 Just like the earth has spent a thousand years making up for what we do
 So have I for you
 Your seeds of misery have sprouted and they try to block my way
 The worst gets the better of you and you try to disarm me with an embrace
 Just like the heart that's spent a lifetime forgiving what is cruel
 So have I for you
 :/: Well mama you can choose the rain but I choose the sun:/:
 :/: That's all I need to free myself:/:
 I am a woman with a mission and a past to outdo
 I don't need a gun I've got a microphone and a melody or two
 Just like the earth has spent a thousand years making up for what we do
 So have I for you
 I have justified every wave in our ocean
 I have covered every range of emotion
 And just like the sea has spent eternity at the mercy of the moon
 So have I for you
 :/: Well mama you can choose the rain but I choose the sun:/:
 :/: That's all I need to free myself:/: 6
 This bird's gonna fly so high
 Watch my sky come undone
 Mama you can choose the rain
 But I choose the sun
