Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill lyrics

My world, it moves so fast today
The past, it seems so far away
And life squeezes so tight
That I can't breathe
And every time I've tried to be what
Someone else has thought of me
So caught up, I wasn't able to achieve

But deep in my heart, the answer
It was in me and I made up my mind
To define my own destiny

I look at my environment
And wonder where the fire went
What happened to everything we used to be
I hear so many cry for help
Searching outside of themselves
Now I know that His strength is within me

And deep in my heart, the answer
It was in me and I made up my mind
To define my own destiny
(And deep in my heart)
And deep in my heart, the answer
It was in me and I made up my mind
To define my own destiny
