Inspiration found in what she had
Music was her delight
In happiness and loss
Softly her voice killed the tears welling up
In people’s eyes, oh yeah
The calling, her destiny she followed
With a woman’s never seen power
In her music mapped, intentions and hopes
Performed in her way incredibly confident
And everybody used to listen
When her voice broke never seen dimensions away
Legend in music, looking back
A coloured woman on her way revealing her message
To everyone’s ears, it’s time to swing
This poem is dedicated to the unbelievable Lauryn Hill, best in Soul and Hip Hop, part of the Fugees.
