A foolish man keeps talking, never is he heard, no no no no
A wise man is clever, seldom ever speaks a word
And loving self can be so hard, honesty can be demanding
And loving self can be so hard, honesty can be demanding
Momma said be brave, you've nothing to fear and I, ooh
I ain't movin', got my feet on the ground, hey
'Cause I ain't moving from my face, from my race, from my history
Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life
'Cause I ain't moving from my face, from my race, from my history
'Cause I ain't movin', I've been here long before
Why should I hide? Why should I be ashamed?
I ain't movin' from my love, my peaceful dove, means too much to me
Time's too lonely, too lonely without words
If we learn to love ourself we'll have great, great feeling
I ain't movin' 'cause I want more
Then why am I faced with so much anger, so my pain?
Future voices need to be heard
Eyebrows are always older than the beards
I ain't movin' from my love, my peaceful dove, means too much to me
I walk with dignity, I step with pride
Learn to love yourself it's a great, great feeling
Learn to love yourself it's a great, great feeling
I walk with dignity, I step with pride
Learn to love yourself it's a great, great feeling
I ain't movin' from my love, my peaceful dove, means too much to me
I will be your remedy, I will be your tree
'Cause I ain't moving from my face, from my race, from my history
Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life
I ain't movin' from my love, my peaceful dove, means too much to me
When you're down baby, I will set you free
And loving self can be so hard, honesty can be demanding
I walk with dignity, I step with pride
And loving self can be so hard, honesty can be demanding
Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life
'Cause I ain't moving from my face, from my race, from my history
