Lyrics Aisha Badru – Water
Text:
Why are you holding on
To what you know is gone?
You know it wasn’t meant to be
Both knees are on the floor
Like the shoreline trying its best to hold on to the sea
People are water, they need to be free
They need to explore more where they want to be
We cannot be keepers of anyone’s key
We have to love in a way that sets them free
And darling, believe me, there will come a time
When the earth will shake and the stars will align
And you won’t have to beg for anyone’s time
So trust and believe everything will be fine
People are water, let’ em be
Let it breathe, let it leave
What are you crying for?
You know the world is yours
And what is meant for you will be
So loosen up your grasp
Everything’s not meant to last
Let the rising tide withdrawal and go back to the sea
‘Cause you see
People are water, they need to be free
They need to explore more where they want to be
We cannot be keepers of anyone’s key
We have to love in a way that sets them free
And darling, believe me, there will come a time
When the earth will shake and the stars will align
And you won’t have to beg for anyone’s time
People are water, let’ em be
Let it breathe, let it leave
People are water, let’ em be
Let it breathe, let it leave
People are water, they need to be free
They need to explore more where they want to be
We cannot be keepers of anyone’s key
We have to love in a way that sets them free
And darling, believe me, there will come a time
When the earth will shake and the stars will align
And you won’t have to beg for anyone’s time
So trust and believe everything will be fine
