She'd Say (with Ladysmith Black Mambazo)

You never got to meet your grandma, did you? Every night I got you kissing on her picture Cuts me up that you will never listen To the sweet, sweet sound of her voice I could tell you she was quite the mixture Of a mama and a shaman and a fiery pistol Truth is, she's right there in you She's a part of you, you don't have a choice My dear, you will feel her In your mind, you will hear her And if she could use words, use words She'd say You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card She'd say You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part She'd say You are so much stronger than you even think you are Let your heart, let your heart lead the way That's what she'd say Oo-woo oo-woo oo-woo That's what she'd say Oo-woo oo-woo oo-woo-hoo-hoo She said take care of your sisters, I mean their whole world Spend your days tryna to lift up other girls You came with love, a purpose, and your mother's curls I'll be with you every step of the way Don't live your life tryna blend in, stick out Trust your gut and don't you get into those doubts Remember god is like the sun, he always comes out Just when you think the dark's here to stay My dear, you will feel her In your mind, you will hear her And if she could use words, use words She'd say You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card She'd say You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part She'd say You are so much stronger than you even think you are Let your heart, let your heart lead the way That's what she'd say Oo-woo, oo-woo, oo-woo That's what she'd say Oo-woo oo-woo oo-woo-hoo-hoo She'd say listen to your daddy In his voice, you will hear me I know he will sing my song to you And know that I'm happy And you'll always have me I'm watching everything you do She'd say You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card She'd say You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part She'd say You are so much stronger than you even think you are Let your heart, let your heart lead the way That's what she'd say Oo-woo, oo-woo, oo-woo That's what she'd say Oo-woo oo-woo oo-woo-hoo-hoo
