Bobbi Redd - Starting Now Lyrics

I cut my head
Open on a dream
Didn't get much sleep last night
And come the early morning
I used to patch myself, and lock it back up tight
And I don't remember
Owing you an inch
It's me that's in control
But darling, if you can read my lips you can read my soul

You think you know me now
I'm still brushing off the dust of the old me now
I'm gonna live my life and let my light
Gonna live my life and let my light shine through

And I never had
A soft thought in my life
So I'm not speaking soft words anymore
And if you've got a voice you better use it
Never back down and lose it baby
Gotta let your light shine brighter than before
So now
Now now now now that I've figured out that I am someone
You can sit in my silence or drown or my words by the time I'm done

You think you know me now (you think you know me now)
I'm still brushing off the dust of the old me now (of the old me now)
I'm gonna live my life and let my light
Gonna live my life and let my light shine through

Oooh you never saw me coming
And I'll back down for nothing
And you never saw me coming
And I won't back down, no I won't back down, no!

Starting now
Gonna let my light (gonna let my light)
Gonna let my light (I'm gonna let my light)
Gonna let my light come shining on through (gonna let my light)
Starting now (starting now)
Gonna let my light
Gonna let my light (gonna let my light)
Gonna let my light come shining on through (gonna let my light)
Starting now
