Somewhere In The City Lyrics - Alicia Keys

Just the other day...
I was looking out the window
And I was thinking...
Somewhere in a city just like mine, uh

Somewhere in a city like mine
Sky is falling
Somewhere in a city like mine
Father's calling

Seas are rising
See yours crying
Dreams may wash away
But we're surviving
Mothers trying
Help us see our ways

So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
When everybody loves someone
There's nothing to fear
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
Everybody knows that love's the reason we're here

Uh, yeah, come on
Say, say it one more time

Somewhere on an island like mine
World is shaking
Somewhere on an island like mine
Hearts are breaking

Seas are rising
Birds are diving
Dreams may wash away
But we're surviving
Mothers trying
To help us see our ways

So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
When everybody loves someone
There's nothing to fear
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
Everybody knows that love's the reason we're here

I know, I know, I know
It feels like some things will never change
Oh Lord
Come on, come on, come on
Don't get down
Just start to be the change
That you want in the world
So...

You gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
When everybody loves someone
There's nothing to fear
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
Everybody knows that love's the reason we're here

Ooh
Everybody knows that love...
Ooh oh, uhuh

A Place Of My Own Lyrics - Alicia Keys

Yes
When it rains it pours, life can be so lonely
But the faith of the storm
Makes the way less heavy
This life can seem so unfair but who cares
If I can rise up then I will get there

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm looking for a place to call my own
Looking for a house to make a home
Looking for a seat upon a throne
Looking for a place to call my own

Hey
Hey

The hardest place to go
Is where I've never gone before
It takes a brave, brave soul
But it makes you much stronger

Now I feel so alive and there's no more cry
I chose to rise up and there's no deny

[Chorus:]
That I finally found a place to call my own
I finally found a house to make a home
I finally took a seat upon a throne
And now I have a place to call my own

So many people they try to make you
Make you believe that
You're nothing without them, no
Don't you believe it
Not for a minute
You gotta show love
This is the way

[Chorus:]
Now I have a place to call my own
Now I have a house to make a home
Now I have a seat upon a throne
'Cause now I have a place to call my own

Hey...
Hey...
I didn't worry
About a thing

Hey
Hey
I'll never worry about a thing.
Come on

Better You, Better Me Lyrics - Alicia Keys

I look into the mirror
And see a different girl
Hiding from herself with
Not a care in the world
Her smile pretends to fool
Those she chooses to please
If they could only see the tears she cries for help
See, I have been that girl
Didn’t know which way to turn
Then one day I turned to me

I told myself to wake up
It’s gonna be a brighter day
I just have to believe that
My dreams won’t have to wait
At times I’ve lost my mind
Had to look deep inside
And find a way to get over
Had to swallow my pride
I searched the world for and answer
But I’ve been searching too far
Because I’ve been here all along

I’m here to make a statement
My place I’m here to claim it
Don’t tell me what my name is
I know
I’m gonna make it
I’ve come to far to lose it
Gotta stay focused
And find a better me

Feels like forever
Trying to work it out
Sometimes you’re gonna fail
And you know
Sometime it will rain
But the sun will come
When you think it’s all said and done
You know you see the light
And everything is alright
You can do
Whatever you put your mind to
Cause you’re all that you need
Like I do just believe

You’re here to make a statement
You’re place you’re here to claim it
You know just what your name is
I know
You’re gonna make it
You’ve come to far to lose it
Gotta stay focused
And find a better me

She wakes up early in the morning just to do her hair y'all

It took a brave girl, brave girl for trying
She's just like you and me 'cause she wants it, she wants it
As she stares herself in the mirror

Dreaming Lyrics - Alicia Keys

Tryna keep my feet on the ground
But my head is in the clouds
Love's so hard to find
But you know that it's on my mind
Lonely in a daze
I don't know how I got to this place
But it's too good to deny
Oh, so I close my eyes and I fly

Come to me, run to me
I'm praying that you come to me, baby

Even when I'm up all day
When I sleep at night
Baby, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
Dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming

Baby, I'm dreaming

Tryna keep my feet on the ground
But the feeling knocks me down
I feel so overwhelmed
I'm under your spell
Tryna keep coming, stay strong
But that don't last too long
But it's too good to deny
Oh, so I close my eyes and I fly

Come to me, run to me
I'm praying that you come to me, baby

Even when I'm up all day
When I sleep at night
Baby, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
Dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming

Baby, I'm dreaming

It's On Again Ost The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Lyrics - Alicia Keys Ft Kendrick Lamar

[Kendrick Lamar:]
And everybody know the story of David and Goliath
But this is bigger than triumph
This is for the warrior, this is for you and I
This is for euphoria, give me a piece of mind
God is recording this! Won't you look in the sky?
Tell him that you got the behavior of your neighbor
Even when stability's never in your favor
Fly with the turbulence, only last a minute
Land on your dreams, and recognize you live it
Walk through the valley of peace, with bare feet
Run through the flames, that's more passion for me
I passed testimony just so the world can see
Battle wounds on me, you watching me lick 'em clean
I know, I know, my pride, my goals, my highs
My lows, I know, I know, it's mind control
I know, I could prosper, no imposter
Prosecute my posture
I stand up and I stand by it what

[Alicia Keys:]
I am a freedom fighter, the name that history wrote
And even through disaster, eye of the tiger for hope
I'm trying to find my way back, there's no day off for heroes
And even when I'm tired, "go" is the only word I know

And the night is takin' over
And the moonlight gets exposure
And the players have been chosen
And it seems like fate has spoken
When it seems your faith has broken
By the second, losin' focus
Ain't no way to get off, get off, get off, get off
Unless you move forward
I bet they wonder how I go on [x2]

I'll simply say it's on again, it's on again
The world don't stop, it's on again, it's on again

I am a lonely hero, tryin' to fight my battles
Life likes to blow the cold wind, sometimes it freezes my shadow
In the midst of all this darkness, I sacrifice my ego
There ain't no room for selfish, we do it for the people

And the night is takin' over
And the moonlight gets exposure
And the players have been chosen
And it seems like fate has spoken
When it seems your faith has broken
By the second, losin' focus
Ain't no way to get off, get off, get off, get off
Unless you move forward
I bet they wonder how I go on [x2]

I'll simply say it's on again, it's on again
The world don't stop, it's on again, it's on again

The work don't stop, 'cause they don't stop
And everybody here trying to get on top
Everybody from the burbs down to the block
Gotta hold on tight and don't let go, let go
Huh
So you think you're hot?
Gotta grind hard, give it all you got
You can have, or you can have not
You see that a lot in the ghetto (ghetto)
How I go on, go on
I bet they wonder how I go on, go on

I'll simply say it's on again, it's on again
The world don't stop, it's on again, it's on again

Power Lyrics - Alicia Keys

Yeah, come on
Come on, hey
Let me tell you a little story

Grandma used to say nothing before it was time
Used to say that the world would be mine
So I should just have faith
She showed me all I need in this life is for free
Change is one thing that is guaranteed
So I should just keep pace

So I marched on like the soldier in the story
Long the way I met a guy, Victory, oh
He went to my head

I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I want the power
(Can you feel the power)

Strong will
Along the road met a girl named Doubt
Wrapped in my mind, couldn't get her out
No matter how I tried it, hey
And somewhere she introduced me to a friend named Fear
Thought I would never get the hell out of here
I had to say goodbye

So I marched on like the soldier in the story
Long the way I met a guy named Glory, oh
He went to my head

I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I got the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)

You wanna feel invincible?
If you wanna victorious
If you wanna feel this way
Let me hear you say

Power (power)
Say power (power)
Yeah, power (power)
Say power (power)

I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you

I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you

Rear View Mirror Ost Dr. Dolittle 2 Lyrics - Alicia Keys

Uh Yeah
A Keys
Rear View
Uh Oh Uh Oh
Uh Oh Uh Oh
AK 2000
Oh Uh Oh

It happened quickly
All of a sudden
I was caught up with another man
Who wanted
To be closer
But now
I know better and I'm
Hoping
We Can
Start Again

I know that there's nothing for me what I have done
So
Let me show how deep my love goes
For you
Cos you'll really live and learn and that's how you find out who is true
And I found out that you were the one

I was deceived
Baby please forgive me
Don't know what we had to change
It's easier for us to get further
Don't look in the rear view mirror

Now that we are
Back again together
I want to show you
How I'm made from heaven
I'll do my best to shower
You with a bit of 'tention
Don't ever have to mention
This song if it ends

I know that there's nothing for me what I have done
So
Let me show how deep my love goes
For you
Cuz you'll really live and learn and that's how you find out who is true
And I found out that you were the one

I was deceived
Baby please forgive me
Don't know what we had to change
It's easier for us to get further
Don't look in the rear view mirror

I can't change what I had done before
But now I know that you love me so much more
Than anything that had ever come my way
Keep your eyes on what we have today

I was deceived
Baby please forgive me
Don't know what we had to change
It's easier for us to get further
Don't look in the rear view mirror

I was deceived
Baby please forgive me
Don't know what we had to change
It's easier for us to get further
Don't look in the rear view mirror

I was deceived
Baby please forgive me
Don't know what we had to change
It's easier for us to get further
Don't look in the rear view mirror

We can get best of this
Don't have to go so fast
We can get rid of them in the rear view mirror

I was deceived
Baby please forgive me
Don't know what we had to change
It's easier for us to get further
Don't look in the rear view mirror

Send Me An Angel Hope for Haiti Now Lyrics - Alicia Keys

Sometimes I feel like I don't belong anywhere
It's gonna take so long for me to get to somewhere

Sometimes I feel so heavy-hearted
But I can't explain cause I'm so guarded
But that's a lonely road to travel
And a heavy load to bear

And it's a long, long way to heaven
But I gotta get there...
Can you send an angel?
Can you send me an angel to guide me?

Sometimes I feel like a door with no key
And all the answers are locked away in me
But they're so hard to find
Especially when I'm feeling lost and so blind

Cause that's a lowly road to travel
And a heavy load to bear
And it's a long, long way to heaven
But I gotta get there...
Can you send an angel?
Can you send me an angel?

Cause I don't wanna feel
Like a dove with no wings
And I don't wanna know
What a heart of stone would bring

Cause that's a lonely road to travel
And a heavy load to bear
And it's a long, long way to heaven
But I gotta get there

Can you send an angel?
Can you send me an angel?
Please send me an angel
Can you send me an angel to guide me?

Speechless Lyrics - Alicia Keys Ft Eve

[Verse 1: Alicia Keys]
When I wake up in the morning babe
Can't believe my eyes
Sweetest little part of destiny
Oh yeah
Cause you are now in my life
There ain't no man or prize
Oh noo
Can compare to you
Ain't no words to describe the way that I'm feeling
When I look at you

[Chorus: Alicia Keys]
I'm just speechless baby
Don't know what to say
I'm just speechless baby
The poet in me has gone away
I'm speechless baby
Don't know what to say
I'm just speechless baby
The poet in me has gone away

[Verse 2: Alicia Keys]
True love finally finds you babe
Life becomes a way
Previously unimaginable
Oh yeah
Listen I don't wanna say
It only happens once if even at all
Feel it deep in your soul
And like a fairytale your story begins yeah
What a sight to behold
Makes you...

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Eve]
In the mornings when I rise up
Go to the window and I smile with my eyes up
Stare in the clouds like wow look at my luck
Everyday I'm feeling better cause I know I got the best I can be proud of
We can't fall quick
Remember when I used to tell my girls like yo this dude think he so it
Think he so fly
And a'time you try to talk to me I'm like yo don't even dare try
I was on my solo groove I ain't want nothing I ain't need nothing
Man I'm good
Now I'm speechless
Cause I fell for him
The poet in me died
Cause I fell for him

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
I used to know all the words to say
I used to write all the poetry
But now you take my breath away

Typewriter Lyrics - Alicia Keys

There we go ladies and gentlemen
Past all of the technical difficulties
That we have lead for experience
I will let you into my laboratory filled with many things
Writing intentions, you see
Such as my typewriter in the corner
Let me show you to the window
So you can see what I see, you know

Desperate am I to
Tell you how I feel for you
No sunshine when you're gone
Peaceful sleep I have none

How can I make it better
I'm under so much pressure
Well I know it won't last
I know that this will pass

You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
You capture what I say

I don't want to falsify
I want to make it right
Can't you see there's work to do
I'm trying to write to you

How can I make it better
I'm under so much pressure
Problem is, problem is
I'll give you space till you get over this

You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
You capture what I say

To torture a woman
Is to feed her loneliness
So please don't leave me lonely
Cause it's your mind that I miss

You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
You capture what I say

Zebras And Airplanes Lyrics - Alicia Keys

Have you ever wanna fly?
Have you ever wanna run away?
Have you ever closed your eyes, seen a vision and it took you away
Wonder why in my dreams lookin up the sky is so blue
In the jungle I'm feelin so free where dreams do come true

So come on, let's fly away
Like zebras and airplanes
Runnin so free through the night
Fire through the sky away
Like zebras and airplanes

Have you ever wanna gallop through the wind where water meets the sand?
If you ever wanna feel like this then come take my hand
Through the paint on the canvass and it cover up your emotion
Now's the time, take a chance, make a wish, let your fantasy begin

And come on, let's fly away
Like zebras and airplanes
Runnin so free through the night
Fire through the sky away
Like zebras and airplanes

What do zebras and airplanes mean?
They say zebras running free through the night
Airplanes fly high through the sky
And that can be you and I

So come on, let's fly away
Like zebras and airplanes
Runnin so free through the night
Fire through the sky away
Like zebras and airplanes
