Virginia Woolf and poetry |
| [00:04.49] |
No one seemed to notice me |
| [00:05.91] |
Being young was getting so old |
| [00:08.68] |
Cheap beer and cigarettes |
| [00:10.10] |
Life was like a movie set |
| [00:11.56] |
And I seemed to be given no role |
| [00:14.09] |
But in times of trouble |
| [00:15.44] |
I can turn to my mother |
| [00:16.74] |
And I know that she gon' understand |
| [00:19.59] |
So at age 18 |
| [00:21.10] |
I cried to my mother |
| [00:22.38] |
And she told me, "young man" |
| [00:24.66] |
"There are moments when you fall to the ground |
| [00:27.35] |
But you are stronger than you feel you are now |
| [00:30.15] |
You don't always have to speak so loud, no |
| [00:33.81] |
Just be as you are |
| [00:35.88] |
Life is not always a comfortable ride |
| [00:38.73] |
Everybody's got scars that they hide |
| [00:41.45] |
And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah |
| [00:45.12] |
Just be as you are" |
| [00:47.65] |
|
| [01:10.79] |
They played me on the radio |
| [01:12.26] |
And everything was changing, so |
| [01:13.69] |
I thought I was all the way grown |
| [01:16.44] |
But I can still remember in that cold November |
| [01:19.20] |
When I realized I'm all alone |
| [01:21.82] |
But in times of trouble |
| [01:23.14] |
I can turn to my mother |
| [01:24.56] |
And I know that she gon' understand |
| [01:27.38] |
So at age 22 |
| [01:28.95] |
I cried to my mother |
| [01:30.21] |
And she told me, "young man" |
| [01:32.40] |
"There are moments when you fall to the ground |
| [01:35.11] |
But you are stronger than you feel you are now |
| [01:38.02] |
You don't always have to speak so loud, no |
| [01:41.46] |
Just be as you are |
| [01:43.71] |
It doesn't matter if you become some star |
| [01:46.36] |
Life is better when you open your heart |
| [01:49.20] |
You don't always have to act so hard, no |
| [01:52.81] |
Just be as you are" |
| [01:55.22] |
|
| [02:17.61] |
"There are moments when you fall to the ground |
| [02:20.36] |
But you are stronger than you feel you are now |
| [02:23.20] |
You don't always have to speak so loud, no |
| [02:26.71] |
Just be as you are |
| [02:28.87] |
It doesn't matter if you become some star |
| [02:31.65] |
Life is better when you open your heart |
| [02:34.47] |
You don't always have to act so hard, no |
| [02:38.01] |
Just be as you are" |
