Ledisi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Through devotion, blessed are the children
Praise the teacher, that brings true love to many
Your devotion, opens all life's treasures
And deliverance, from the fruits of evil.
So our mission, to bring a melody,
Ringin' voices sing sweet harmony

For you here's a song, to make your day brighter.
One that will last, you long through troubled days.
Giving your heart the light to brighten.
All of the dark that falls in your way
You need devotion. bless the children
Deliverance from the fruits of evil

In everyone's life, there's a need to be happy.
Let the sun shine, a smile your way.
Open your heart, feel a touch of devotion.
Maybe this song, will help uplift your day.





Make a better way
