Beverley Knight - Affirmation lyrics

Intuition I could not ignore Came to help me in my time of danger Wasn't easy walking out the door But I knew any other place was safer And the freedom that I now enjoy Helps the bruises in my heart to face 'Cause I know I am not afraid You can never feel the joy and pain That you've never known Far too much emotion to explain In a story that is not your own How you gonna try to sing the blues When the only key you know is major? Walk a mile in someone else's shoes And the ups and downs have got to change ya You can't tell me that you understand 'Til my bitter tears roll down your face 'Til you're standing in my place You can never feel the joy and pain That you've never known Far too much emotion to explain In a story that is not your own Now I've got it together I will always remember Where I've been, where I'm going Why I'm here, why I'm living Now I've got it together There's no more desperation Only my affirmation To live for me You can never feel the joy and pain That you've never known Far too much emotion to explain In a story that is not your own
