Bonjah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pick up your heart and show them how you're made
Give it the cool kid kick out the side
You take the same road home you feed the fire.
When you stumble and hit the ground soul shaking
Get up and move on do it again you heartbreaker
Go get lost to find your way
Go get lost to find your way
Memories are hard but the good ones stay.
Your heart your seed
Your resolution
We were made to feel
its evolution.
Well I've done wrong and I've done right
Let me give you something your hearts inside
I need to know my love just what makes you feel
only you can set yourself free.
Go get lost to find your way
Only you got the choice to stay.
Your heart your seed
Your resolution
We were made to feel
Its evolution.
What I know when I see those eyes
She gives me something I can't deny.
Your Heart your seed
Your resolution
We were made to feel
Its evolution.
