So Have I For You Lyrics - Everybody Got Their Something - Nikka Costa

I am a woman with a mission 

And a past to outdo 

I don't need a gun 

I've got a microphone 

And a melody or two 

Just like the earth has spent 

A thousand years 

Making up for what we do 

So have I for you 

Your seeds of misery have sprouted 

And they try to block my way 

The worst gets the better of you 

And you try to disarm me with an embrace 

Just like the heart that's spent a lifetime 

Forgiving what is cruel 

So have I for you 

Well mama you can choose the rain 

But I choose the sun 

That's all I need to free myself 

I am a woman with a mission 

And a past to outdo 

I don't need a gun 

I've got a microphone 

And a melody or two 

Just like the earth has spent 

A thousand years making up 

For what we do 

So have I for you 

I have justified every wave in our ocean 

I have covered every range of emotion 

And just like the sea has spent eternity 

At the mercy of the moon 

So have I for you 

Well mama you can choose the rain 

But I choose the sun 

That's all I need to free myself 

This bird's gonna fly so high 

Watch my sky come undone 

Mama you can choose the rain 

But I choose the sun
