Words have incredible power.  These three words, Strength, Courage and Wisdom have become an affirmation for me having heard them sung by the incredibly talented American soul and R&B singer/songwriter India.Arie.

Inside my head there is a dream that I want to see in the sun

Behind my eyes there lives a me that I’ve been hiding for much too long

‘Cause I’ve been, too afraid to let it show

Cause I’m scared of the judgement that may follow

Always putting off my living for tomorrow

It’s time to step out on faith, I’ve gotta show my face

It’s been elusive for so long, but freedom is mine today

I’ve gotta step out on faith, it’s time to show my face

Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found

Strength, courage and wisdom

And it’s been inside of me all along

Strength, courage and wisdom

Inside of me

Behind my pride there lives a me, that knows humility

Inside my voice there is a soul, and in my soul there is a voice

But I’ve been afraid of the things that I might be missing

Running too fast to stop and listen

It’s time to step out on faith, I’ve gotta show my face

It’s been elusive for so long but freedom is mine today

I’ve gotta step out on faith it’s time to show my face

Procrastination had me down but look what I found, I found

Strength, courage and wisdom

And it’s been inside of me all along

Strength, courage and wisdom

Inside of me
