What It Feels Like
Joi Cardwell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Light of the world
Let me show you what it feels like
To be me
To be free

Times gone
And past has conclusions
My life like yours
An illusion
Of things the way
We only see

If there's a chance I can make it
You bet your ass I'm a take it
Out there's a life waiting just for me

I show you what its like to be free
I'll tell you what its like to be me
I'll show you what its like to be me (free)
It feels good yeah!

What it feels like
What it feels like
What it feels like
What it feels like

Some say that life's what you make it
Sometime there's a hand you should take it
And where it leads there you will be
Come now life is really a dream
Let go you'll see what I mean
Out there's a reason to believe
Believe

I'll show you what its like to be me
I'll show you what its like to be free
I'll tell you what its like to be me
It feels good yeah!

What it feels like
What it feels like
What it feels like
What it feels like

Light of the world
Come and set my spirit free
Take me beyond the limits
And let me find release
Well I'm gonna find
Oh that peace of mind
Reason why
I'm alive
To be free





Oh, what it feels like
What it feels like
