Break The Shell LRC歌词

[00:01.52]Break the Shell - India Arie

[00:11.32]I met a prophet dark as the night

[00:16.31]She could see into my soul

[00:20.44]Said she'd been watching and had some advice

[00:25.69]She said shadows make you whole

[00:29.91]A life without pain is a wolf in sheep's clothes

[00:35.35]Cause if you listen to the lessons that it holds

[00:41.94]You'll find the gold

[00:44.56]

[00:45.33]Child it's time to break the shell

[00:50.07]Life's gonna hurt but it's meant to be felt

[00:53.94]You cannot touch the sky from inside yourself

[00:59.43]You cannot fly until you break the shell

[01:06.10]

[01:09.98]I can remember when I was a child

[01:15.49]How the grown folks seemed so crazy

[01:19.41]Why are they so angry why are they so loud

[01:24.78]And when I grow up that's never ever gonna be me

[01:28.83]That was the moment that I decide

[01:34.15]That I would build a wall

[01:36.41]just shy of six feet tall

[01:40.46]Too strong to fall

[01:44.04]Child it's time to break the shell

[01:48.65]Life's gonna hurt but it's meant to be felt

[01:52.64]You cannot touch the sky from inside yourself

[01:58.08]You cannot fly until you break the shell

[02:05.42]

[02:10.12]Courage is not being hard

[02:14.69]

[02:15.81]It's time to peel back all of the layers

[02:20.87]You put between who You're meant to be

[02:25.30]And who You are

[02:29.24]And go be who You are

[02:34.06]

[02:36.62]So much disappointment to finally understand

[02:42.30]That there is no such thing as perfect

[02:46.30]Were all simply doing the best that we can

[02:51.67]And we have a choice to live or truly be alive

[02:59.31](This is your life)

[03:02.31]Child it's time to break the shell

[03:06.42]Life's gonna hurt but it's meant to be felt

[03:10.54]You cannot touch the sky from inside yourself

[03:15.54]You cannot fly until You break the shell

[03:21.14]Child it's time to break the shell

[03:25.13]Life's gonna hurt but it's meant to be felt

[03:29.21]You cannot touch the sky from inside yourself

[03:34.48]A bird cannot fly until it breaks the shell

[03:40.95]

[03:44.19]Do with these words what you will

[03:48.62]It's time for us to be for real

[03:53.49]You'll be stuck on the ground until

[03:58.25]You finally break the shell
