Lead The Way
Jhené Aiko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

We have a choice to
Build or destroy to
Fight or to come together
Love is a bridge and
Trust is a gift, we
Give it and it's gets better

There's an energy in the water
There is magic deep in our heart
There's a legacy that we honor
When we bring the light to the dark
Whatever brings us together
Can never tear us apart
We become stronger than ever

When we just trust
Trust and believe and
You'll see that, we'll lead the way
When we just trust
Trust and believe and
You'll see that, we'll lead the way
When we just trust
Trust and believe and
You'll see that, we'll lead the way
When we just trust
Trust and believe and
You'll see that, we'll lead the way

When you're broken, open up your heart and feel
There's no difference, we're all family here
It's 'bout all of our doubts, all our up and downs
There is never really anything to fear

There's an energy in the water
There is magic deep in our heart
There's a legacy that we honor
When we bring the light to the dark
Whatever brings us together
Can never tear us apart
We become stronger than ever

When we just trust
Trust and believe and
You'll see that, we'll lead the way
When we just trust
Trust and believe and
You'll see that, we'll lead the way
When we just trust
Trust and believe and
You'll see that, we'll lead the way
When we just trust
Trust and believe and
You'll see that, we'll lead the way

Takin' the first step, I see you as myself
Nothing we can do
Put the past behind
Learn from life itself
We can start brand new

There's an energy in the water
There is magic deep in our heart
There's a legacy that we honor
When we bring the light to the dark
Whatever brings us together
Can never tear us apart
We become stronger than ever

When we just trust
Trust and believe and
You'll see that, we'll lead the way
When we just trust
Trust and believe and
You'll see that, we'll lead the way
When we just trust
Trust and believe and
You'll see that, we'll lead the way
When we just trust
Trust and believe and
You'll see that, we'll lead the way

Disney really did they're homework! This has been the most accurate representation of Southeast Asia, the amount of realism even on the smallest details is astounding.
