From the recording Debut at The Golden State Theater - Monterey, CA. U.S.A.
Lyrics
O Life , the foundation
Every day an education
A special occasion
Crazy makin’
Always changin’
You never see it coming
Barefoot I came into this world
to dance with destiny
to be bold
I’ve been up
I’ve been down
Still I’m…
So glad I’m here
So glad cause I believe I’m here
to do something good
So glad I’m here
So glad that I hope
I just might be contagious!
Yeah!
(uh huh, huh...)
My mother, a singer
My father, a drummer
Something in my genes,
Maybe something in the water
I had to get up
Stand up for the music
Had to make a move
to use it
or I’d lose it
Seems life’s been like
building a mansion
with stone walls cut from
a quarry of passion,
a frame for strength
formed with love and skill
using Blues like a hammer
and Funk like a drill
I see red-letter days coming faster
With fear no longer my master
I can be who I dreamed I can be
So glad I’m here
So glad to believe I’m here
to do something good
So glad I’m here
To think otherwise
would be outrageous
Solo
Barefoot I came into this world
To dance with destiny
to be bold
It’s love that put shoes on my feet
So glad I’m here
So glad I believe I’m here
to do something good
So glad I’m here
With love, everything is possible! repeat
So glad I’m here
So glad I believe I’m here
to do something good
So glad I’m here
With love, everything is possible
So glad I’m here
So Glad I’m here…
With love, everything is possible
