VERSE 1
'76 when a man
Told his wife 'baby doll sorry i can't stay'
Left with 5 kids she was forced to become
Superwoman and go earn some pay
A college-educated girl
Washing dishes in a man's world
Now what good is a degree
When you've got mouths to feed
She is that girl, maybe you know her
Maybe you've been, maybe you are today
Insert your year where the year is
If to this story you can relate

CHORUS
Giving something up
We're always giving something up
We are giving somethin up
We're always giving something up
We are giving something up
We're always giving something up
We are giving something up
We're always giving something
We're always giving something up

VERSE 2
'97, a mother has no choice
But to go find work and leave her kids alone
Far from heaven, so she's gone
5 days out the week to bring a piece home
Her man is off somewhere up some dress
Bringing her back some other woman's sickness
Her baby girl is crying 'Mama please
When you're gone the neighbor's chasing me'
Around the world, from Pakistan
Down to Soweto, back to New York City
Insert your year where the year is
If to this story you can relate

CHORUS

BRIDGE
(background repeated w/ each line: Giving, yes, ah)
Giving, trying, self-relying
Feeling, teaching, always preaching
Dreaming, losing, being abused and
Dying, crying, sacrificing
Hurting, being told we're worthless
Birthing, buried alive in the earth and
Hoping, mending, spirits broken
Flying and somehow surviving

CHORUS
(repeated w/ ad libs till end)

  • For Real
    "I can run, I can race for hours and hours and don?t stop
    I can float, I can fly us to the highest mountain tops
    I can breathe you, I can drink in your laugh
    I can, I can live on your smile..."
  • Bravebird

    and a twisted tradition has a girl in a strangle hold
    Lies a desert with the footprints
    of little girls with a secret..."
  • Dear To Me
    "As gravity is to every human
    As the earth is to the trees
    I couldn't drift away from your love because it's
    implanted in my memory..."
  • All I Got
    "Got these feet
    in these shoes
    they walked a mile or two,
    got these legs..."

    "Across the room
    across the street
    across the water where the two big blues meet
    across the widest space til you reach infinity..."
  • We Can Be New
    "Can you tell that I've been hurt so?
    Can you tell I wanna lay low?
    Can you tell that I'm a flower
    Waiting for a sunshower?..."
  • Your Eyes
    "Your eyes greeted mine
    And whispered softly, slowly
    A secret only for me
    Your eyes took there sweet time..."
  • Congo
    "Now could we go to the square they call Congo
    I need to go and lay my feet upon the stone
    Where the first of us stood before, before, before
    Where we came and played to revive our depleted souls..."
