Lyrics Used to Be - Ralf GUM , Bongi Mvuyana

I can be tall as trees
Roots so deep, have birds that sings
Arms so wide, branches thick
I could carry you and stick

Closer still, stronger 'til
You come break me at your whim
I could fall at your feet
Bring the blue skies down with me
Bear the earth to the sun
Scorch the ground and make you proud
That was me
I used to be all you thought I ought to be

That's what I used to be
Used to be, used to be
That's what I used to be
Used to be, used to be
That's what I used to be

I could see more in me
Felt the wind and I could breathe
Found my voice, oh I could speak
Found my peace now I can be

Greater still, stronger 'til
In the sea I learn to swim
To the shore, open doors
Bring the storm right to the floor
Bear the earth to the sun
Let them know my time has come
This is me and I will be
All you thought I'd never be

See into the light that sets your mind free
Speak into the things that give you meaning
Look into the world that makes you happy

Look into the world that makes you happy
See into the light that sets your mind free
Speak into the things that give you meaning
Look into the world that makes you happy

Look into the world that makes you happy
See into the light that sets your mind free
Speak into the things that give you meaning
Look into the world that makes you happy

Look into the world that makes you happy
See into the light that sets your mind free
Speak into the things that give you meaning
Look into the world that makes you happy

Greater still, stronger 'til
With this new voice I can sing
To the world, undetered
I'll keep going 'til they've heard
Bear the earth to the sun
They will know my time has come
This is me and I will be
All you thought I'd never be

This is me and I will be
Nothing like you thought I'd be

Look into the world that makes you happy, happy
See into the light that sets your mind free, mind free
Speak into the things that give you meaning, meaning
Look into the world that makes you happy, happy

Look into the world that makes you happy
See into the light that sets your mind free
Speak into the things that give you meaning
Look into the world that makes you happy

Look into the world that makes you happy
See into the light that sets your mind free
Speak into the things that give you meaning
Look into the world that makes you happy

Look into the world that makes you happy
See into the light that sets your mind free
Speak into the things that give you meaning
Look into the world that makes you happy

Look into the world that makes you happy
See into the light that sets your mind free
Speak into the things that give you meaning
Look into the world that makes you happy

Look into the world that makes you happy
Look into the world that makes you happy
Look into the world that makes you happy, happy
