lyrics

I wanna give thanks to my Grandmother who stood in the soup lines as a black woman in Texas and watched our world change. She lived to see a black president. She told me that we all have history so let's leave a good history behind when we go

Yeah we all got history mmmm yeah
Aho
Yeah we all got history mmmm yeah
Aho
And life’s a mystery heya to all of us ya know
Yeah life’s a mystery heya to all of us ya know

Creator let me walk in a good way
Thanks for everyday

I see happiness, happiness
And suffering everywhere I go and I don’t know much, i don’t know much
But i know this
Ya gotta find the joy in the pain, find the beauty in the rain, yeah find the beauty in the rain
Find the beauty in the rain

Cause we all got history mmm yeah
aho
Yeah we all got history mmm yeah
aho
And life’s a mystery heya to all of us ya know
To all of us ya know
Yeah we all got history
We all been wronged by somebody
But there’s light in the dark, there’s light in the dark if you can look at the stars
It’s who you are, (just look up)

So stop comparing your scars and just be, be who you are
(be who you are)
Just be who you are
(be who you are)
Just be who you are
Just be

Cause we all got history
Aho
Yeah we all got history mmm yeah
Aho
And life’s a mystery to all of us you know
To all of us ya know

So i’m singing use me in a good way
Give me a song worth singing again and again
Use me in a good way
Giving thanks for everyday
Giving thanks for everyday

Yeah we all got history
Aho
Yeah we all got history
Aho
And life's a mystery heya
To all of us ya know

So leave a trail of smiles in your wake wherever you go
Be like the gentle falling of the snow
And let people know
That you are light and you are love
We are all gifts from above
So go now share your light and share your love

Shea Freedom Aspen, Colorado

"In what lead singer and guitarist Shea Freedom is calling “folk-hop,” Freedom layers fast-paced rhymes and sung choruses over a folky base of acoustic instrumentation..." ~The Aspen Times
