Till It Happens to You

You wouldn't believe it, no, yeah
'Til that right somebody comes along
You fall so strong, now you're gone
Floatin' out of your body
Plans ya'll makin', trips taken
But you can't even remember your life before themBut you won't believe that it's true
'Til it happens to you, to you, to you'Til that Sunday mornin' and you heard that callin'
Gots to preach that sermon, choir, organ
Palms start sweatin', knees shakin'
And you fall to your knees sayin', thank you, JesusBut you won't believe it's true
'Til it happens to youAnd may your life be forever changed
May you find your voice, be forever brave
And on that day may you finally find
That happiness that you pursueMay your eyes be open
May you see more vivid colors
Green and blue
When it happens to you, to youTill every other woman looks good
Even though you're wife'd up
And on the side got a sweet lil' thing
Still playin' gamesProtection pop and you just couldn't stop
Then your junior drops
Then you're wonderin'
Could this really be happening to me?This morning didn't go like it was supposed
House foreclosed, third time for this interview
Resumed that afternoon, thought you froze
'Til they shook your hand and they welcomed youYour hopes restored and renewed
Can it happen for you?
(Yes, it can, yes, it can)And may your life be forever changed
May you find your voice, be forever brave
And on that day may you finally find
That happiness that you pursueMay your eyes be open
May you see more vivid colors
Green and blue
When it happens to youI can recall the days of hearin' myself say
If I walk, talk, think a little differently
All those things that happen to them
Would never happen to me'Til I found that girl, 'til I found the truth
I found out you pay for everything you do
Oh yeah, until I found out I'm no different from youMay your life be forever changed
Find your voice, be forever brave
And on that day may you find
The happiness that you pursue(May your eyes be open)
And may you see more vivid colors
Green and blue
When it happens to youMay your life be changed
They're the words I say
Find the happiness you pursueMay your eyes be open
May you see more vivid colors
Green and blue
When it happens to youMay your life be changed
They're the words I say
Find the happiness you pursue
