Losing herself

TELL HIM: BY LAURYN HILL
One of my favorite songs.



Let me be patient let me be kind
Make me unselfish without being blind
Though I may suffer I'll envy it not
And endure what comes
Cause he's all that I got and tell him...


Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
And it'll be alright
Tell him be alright be alright
Tell him tell him I need him
Tell him I love himIt'll be alright


Now I may have faith to make mountains fall
But if I lack love then I am nothin' at all
I can give away everything I possess
But left without love then I have no happiness
I know I'm imperfect
And not without sin
But now that I'm older all childish things endand tell him...


Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
And it'll be alright
Tell him be alright be alright
Tell him tell him I need him
Tell him I love himIt'll be alright

I'll never be jealous
And I won't be too kind
Cause love is not boastful
Oooh and love is not loud


Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
Everything's gonna be alright
Now I may have wisdom and knowledge on Earth
But if I speak wrong then what is it worth?
See what we now know is nothing compared to the love that was shown when our lives were sparedand tell him...

Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
And it'll be alright
Tell him be alright be alright
Tell him tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
It'll be alright



She is losing herself, but to what? The drugs and fame! How could someone who is able to put words into such a powerful message with such strong meaning be so lost, One of the most powerful lyricist be so far gone.
