Love is my passion, love is my friend Love is universal, love never ends Then why am I faced with so much anger, so much pain? Why should I hide? Why should I be ashamed? Time's much too short To be living somebody else's life I walk with dignity I step with pride 'Cause I ain't movin' from my face From my race, from my history I ain't movin' from my love My peaceful dove, it means too much to me Loving itself can be so hard Honesty can be demanding Learn to love yourself It's a great, great feeling When you're down baby, I will set you free I will be your remedy, I will be your tree A wise man is clever, seldom ever speaks a word A foolish man keeps talking, never is he heard, no no no no Time's much too short To be living somebody else's life I walk with dignity I step with pride 'Cause I ain't movin' from my face From my race, from my history I ain't movin' from my love My peaceful dove, it means too much to me Loving itself can be so hard Honesty can be demanding Learn to love yourself It's a great, great feeling 'Cause I ain't movin' from my face From my race, from my history I ain't movin' from my love My peaceful dove, it means too much to me Loving itself can be so hard Honesty can be demanding If we learn to love ourselves We'll have great, great feelings 'Cause I ain't movin', I've been here long before I ain't movin', 'cause I want more I ain't movin', got my feet on the ground As far as I'm concerned, love should win the rounds
