a place of my own

Singer:alicia keys

yes

when it rains it pours

life can be so lonely

but the faith of the storm

makes the way less heavy

this life can seem so unfair but who cares

if i can rise up then i will get there

'cause i'm looking for a place to call my own

looking for a house to make a home

looking for a seat upon a throne

looking for a place to call my own

hey

hey

the hardest place to go

is where i've never gone before

it takes a brave

brave soul

but it makes you much stronger

now i feel so alive and there's no more cry

i chose to rise up and there's no deny

that i finally found a place to call my own

i finally found a house to make a home

i finally took a seat upon a throne

and now i have a place to call my own

so many people they try to make you

make you believe that

you're nothing without them

no

don't you believe it

not for a minute

you gotta show love

this is the way

now i have a place to call my own

now i have a house to make a home

now i have a seat upon a throne

'cause now i have a place to call my own

hey. hey. i didn't worry

about a thing

hey

hey

i'll never worry about a thing. come on.
