Words of Inspiration

I don't know if I have stated why I put songs of the day up yet, but here's a quick post explaining where they came from, and my song of the day for today including lyrics.

Songs of the day started with a friend of mine who wanted to share his music with me. He would randomly pick a song and send it to me telling me that it was the song of the day for that day. Some of the songs would have amazing lyrics and that's why he would send it to me, or the instrumentals in another song would be incredible. Sometimes he just wanted to share his music with me.

As I listened to the songs he sent me, I realized that others might find the songs that he sent me entertaining, so I posted the artist and song title up randomly as my song of the day. Really though, I know that there are some people who check out my blog and see song of the day as the title and glance over it. That's totally cool.

Well now, I've been privilaged to find songs that inspire me or make me feel good about msyelf or the world around me, and I want to share those with the readers of my blog. Some of the songs that I put up have similar qualities to the songs of the day that I shared with my friend not too long ago. I hope those that read through this will be able to appreciate songs of the day a little better, and if not, cool.

Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the India Arie

When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes; I'm lovin' what I see

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the India Arie

Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but, what she knows
But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all an illusion, confusion's the name of the
game
A misconception, a vast deception
Something's gotta change
but,Don't be offended this is all my opinion
ain't nothing that I'm sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share with
y'all
So get in where you fit in go on and shine
Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
'Cuz everything's gonna be all right

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the India Arie

Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your Kristal and your pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don't need your Silicon I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie
