Lyrics of 'My Beloved' by Brother Ali

[Intro]
It's a story of friendship
It's a story of love
And dark tears
I am who I am because somebody loved me
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Faith in God, high thinking and simple living
Work hard deep love no conditions
Gentle heart, head level, clear vision
Back tall, firm in our conviction
Smile through tears, laugh through the tragedy
All we got is each other, must love radically
Passionately peaceful, fight for it fanatically
Premium on people, magic humanity
Dance as if no one's looking, sing like no one's listening
Live and love out loud and let your spirit glisten
Feet firm on the dirt, head in the sky
Serve when the sun is at work, dream when he hides
And know that the water that well up in your eyes
Is the same when a loved one is born as when they die
As sure as every hello is eventually goodbye
The art of truly living is learning how to die

[Hook]
Wherever you go
May the good Lord bless your heart and soul
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved
(Trust me when I tell you that)
I want you to know
That your love and your wisdom touched me so
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved

[Verse 2]
Bless your soul, so precious and delicate
Powerfully compassionate
Your friendship held me together when the threat of unraveling
Had me at the brink feeling inadequate
When the sky got dreary, my eyes got teary,
My heart got weary you were right there near me
Only reason I ain't laid up in some cemetery
Is when I was in fear someone cared enough to hear me
Anything that I do in this life of mine
From this point is part you for the gifts you provide
Only way to repay you is live right and shine
Trust me when I tell you, you're still on my mind

[Hook]
Wherever you go
May the good Lord bless your heart and soul
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved
(Yeah, turn the music high)
I want you to know
That your love and your wisdom touched me so
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved

[Verse 3]
Young lovers, passion in their stare
Hanging in the air, challenging their fears
Catch a passing moment and grab it in the clear
Desperately attempting to stretch it into years
Her soft and elegant, he firm and gallant
Words dancing between them hanging in the balance
Grins and glances translate every sentence
Into a language where the future smiles at us
Love's not careful, neither is it fearful
The thought of living without is unbearable
So listen young lady, this is me thanking you
No matter what, you will always have my gratitude

[Hook]
Wherever you go
May the good Lord bless your heart and soul
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved
I want you to know
That your love and your wisdom touched me so
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved
