LYRICS 

Spoken Intro 

"Aw, I'm gonna be so late to work 
Oh my God, is that my train? Oh, don't close! 
Aw man, ugh, this is gonna mess up my whole day, I just know it 
Ok I just need to take a minute, I've just gotta breathe 
I've just gotta breathe 
I've just gotta breathe" 

Take a moment just to realize that you have the power 
to control everything around you 
And that your Peace begins from within 

That peace, that you get when everything is alright 
Just breathe, it's gonna get better no doubt 
Don't have to have the answer, no, just take this time 
and let Peace inside your mind.. 

Peace, my Peace 
Can't take away from me 
My Joy, my Joy 

When you're on your job and your boss starts fussin 
You know you did nothin wrong 
You rush to catch the train, but it's gone and you're stuck 
Well just remember life will bring its challenges, that's for certain 
Question is how you gonna find your inner peace? 
It will come to you if you just breathe 

You know that strength is within you, 
so how you gonna keep your cool? 
Command your stress to leave you, free your spirit 
Just breathe, and know that only you can keep your 

Peace, your Peace 
Can't take away from you 
Your joy, your strength depends on 
your keeping your cool 

Peace, my Peace 
Said it keeps me strong 
Peace, it's the one thing I can count on 

You've got no time for the 

Pain 
Fear 
Stress 
Worry 

Mm, let it all go, too busy being 

Scared 
Tired 
Doubting 
And full of anxiety 

When you know you should embrace your 

Power 
Strength 
Love 
Faith 

You'll find, you'll find that life can be much better 
When you can, when you can relax and be free 

Synth Solo 

You are here but for this space & time, better just relax your mind 
(mmhmm, relax your mind) 

Only here but for this space & time, better just relax your mind 
(you're only here but for this space & time) 

Can't take it my joy, can't take it my joy, 
can't take it my joy, take my joy from me 

It's all in your mind...your peace...just breathe...

Natural

Harlem-based Jazz vocalist Rajdulari inspires an engaging listening experience for music lovers. Her buoyant voice vibrates with a clear and honest joyfulness; no doubt the result of her choral upbringing in the church. Although her family relocated often, she has always found a home in music. Jazz opened up an entirely new world to an adolescent Rajdulari, when she heard Sarah Vaughan’s “Shullie A Bop” and Ella Fitzgerald’s “Lemon Drop” for the first time. She became fascinated, and wanted to know every nuance of each solo, scat, and harmony. At seventeen she was offered her first gig at Ryles Jazz Club in Cambridge and found performing to be a sensation she couldn’t abandon or ignore. While attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, Rajdulari shared a stage with the renowned Bobby McFerrin. In 2010 she moved to New York City and started her own solo project. Her ensemble was nominated for, and won, Best Jazz Band at the New England Urban Music Awards in 2011, and their debut release – Honeywine – remains among Amazon.com’s Top 100 Most Downloaded Mp3s. In 2012, Rajdulari was selected by Visions Beauty Distributors to write and perform the theme song for their first annual Natural Hair and Health Expo. The single - entitled “Natural” - is featured on her upcoming sophomore album, Journey Of A Woman. As a member of the Boston-based, all female World Music Band, Zili Misik, Rajdulari won Boston Music Awards 2007 & 2008 for “Outstanding International Music”, Boston Phoenix Award and WFNX’s "Best World Music Band"-two years in a row; and was 2007 Winner of ROCKRGRL’s and Berklee College of Music’s “Battle of the All-Female Bands”. For Rajdulari singing is a healing and soothing activity. Her ability to share uplifting messages of confidence, empowerment, love, and hope – through song – is the most gratifying gift she can exchange. For more information, visit www.rajdulari.com.
