Amandla - Smile lyrics

[Verse 1] In another place... She returns my love Lifting us above life In helpless starvation Where I stand And share her time Trading peace of mind For lies and frustration [Chorus] Once in a while she pays with a smile That lifts up in the air and burns through the sky The moment she's gone I'm where I was all along Sitting alone and dreaming I'm dreaming [Verse 2] In another time... When kings and queens Set my history Strength would be the foundation Where she stands Controls my eyes Needing more inside She hides her salvation [Chorus X 2] Once in a while she pays with a smile That lifts up in the air and burns through the sky The moment she's gone I'm where I was all along Sitting alone and dreaming I'm dreaming
