R. Kelly — 12 Play - part 2

I have something I want to say,
but my mouth refuses to listen.
I have something I want to scream,
yet the sound comes out fragile—
soft as a song.
If I put it nicely,
maybe it’s just ego.
The sky keeps drifting,
and sooner or later
my time runs out.
Lotus leaves tremble in the rain.
A frog leaps into the water.
Higher, higher—
higher than usual.
Someday, surely,
I’ll fumble with my shoelaces,
undoing them out of order—
whether I’m walking a red carpet
or walking on needles.
So—take the next step.
Little by little,
turn your thoughts into words.
Even if your feelings
and your voice don’t align,
speak anyway.
Lotus leaves tremble in the rain.
A frog leaps into the water.
Higher, higher—
higher than usual.
This heaviness won’t lift
until dusk—
it won’t.
But when it finally does,
I’m sure I’ll have repaired
my broken compass.
One step at a time,
I’ll change.
Lotus leaves tremble in the rain.
A frog leaps into the water.
Higher, higher—
higher than usual.
Lotus leaves tremble in the rain.
A frog leaps into the water.
Higher, higher—
higher than usual.
Even a little—
even a little,
higher.
Higher.
Higher.
Now—

Higher My Self

Lyrics (written by Uli Nicholas):

It's Up To You

In my mind... words, words, words 
Who could listen to them? Who could understand them? 
Inside of you, baby I feel there are so many treasures 
All o'them without measures 
High security

Do you get me? Listen, in this old and young place within 
There are so many faces that want to be heard... For so long 
These words were faces of bittersweetness 
That was my world...

My heart could sing 
Though it couldn't say anything 
My iPhone could ring 
Though I knew it was no one 

But after you, baby mine 
For you, you bring me 
For us, your treasures shine 
For me, you make me feel a better being

Being we two here alone in this room 
My words shift 
With you, our 
World it's Sweet

You blow my mind, honey 
The words already are outside 
Are pleasure to us...

My heart could sing 
Though it couldn't say anything 
My iPhone could ring 
Though I knew it was no one 

But after you, baby mine 
For you, you bring me 
For us, your treasures shine 
For me, you make me feel a better being

If I knew that my words could touch you 
Never before, I'd thrown the keys away 
If I knew it's so true I never would think to be back to yesterday

The time to love is now 
The question to love is how 
Who to love? 
It's up to you

(Short Guitar Solo)

If I knew that my words could touch you 
Never before, I'd thrown the keys away 
If I knew it's so true I never would think to be back to yesterday

The time to love is now 
The question to love is how 
Who to love? 
It's up to you

It's up to youuu 
It's up to youu 
It's up to youuuu 
It's up to you
