BECAUSE OF YOU
Ayiesha Woods Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I learned a long time ago that not everyone is on my side
Had to figure out that life was more than trying to get by
Had my hopes and dreams trampled on and laid to the side
But I survived

Because of Your love I don't have to be afraid anymore
Because of Your love I'm stronger than I ever was before
And I could do anything, I can do anything, it's true

It's all because of You

You inspire me to live with every breath that You give
And I don't know what I would do if it wasn't for You
You're the reason for my songs
And where I belong is right here with You

Because of Your love I don't have to be afraid anymore
Because of Your love I'm stronger than I ever was before
And I could do anything, I can do anything, it's true
It's all because of You, yeah

Sorrow and pain know my name
And I've stood face to face with shame
But that was then You're here now
And I am never going back, I'm never going back again

All because of what you've done, it's all about Your love
All because of what you've done, it's all about Your love
All because of what you've done, what you've done, what you've done
All because of what you've done, it's all about Your love

Because of Your love I don't have to be afraid anymore
Because of Your love I'm stronger than I ever was before
And I could do anything, I can do anything

Because of Your love I don't have to be afraid anymore
Because of Your love I'm stronger than I ever was before
And I could do anything, I can do anything
I could do anything, I can do anything, it's true
It's all because of you

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
