The Beginning
Syleena Johnson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once upon a time there was a young soul
Filled with fears.
She lacked love in herself which brought many many tears.
Until one day
God sent her the challenge that would change her life.
A man, the fairest of them all, dark and handsome, fit for a wife.
He brought love to her mind, and he hypnotized her soul.
