Lauryn Hill — The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

[Verse 1] My world, it moves so fast today The past, it seems so far away And life squeezes so tight that I can't breathe And every time I've tried to be what someone else has thought of me So caught up, I wasn't able to achieve [Chorus] But deep in my heart, the answer, it was in me And I made up my mind to define my own destiny [Verse 2] I look at my environment And wonder where the fire went What happened to everything we used to be I hear so many cry for help Searching outside of themselves Now I know that His strength is within me [Chorus] And deep in my heart, the answer, it was in me And I made up my mind to define my own destiny (And deep in my heart) And deep in my heart, the answer, it was in me And I made up my mind to define my own destiny
