I love myself, I love the world

‘I love myself, I love the world.’
Een enorm krachtig nummer van Nomy Lamm.

i love myself, i love the world
i always try to say the truth
i have been blessed with, and i struggle with
the arrogance of youth
i know that i’m a know-it-all
i know that i’m a fool
but i channel what is real
i love myself, i love the world

to let you be the big one
would be nothing new for you
but i didn’t know that that was something
someone else could do
i wanted it, i wanted it
i hoped it would be true
if you were big enough for me
i would be strong enough for you

i love myself, i love the world
i know there’s pain i need to feel
i know there’s more to transformation
than what ritual can heal
i know that i know nothin
but i dreamt it as a kid
that i would be here now
i love myself, i love the world

for dreams to be interpreted
we have to make them clear
but the things that we are drawn to
are the same things that we fear
i’m scared of what’s inside me
you’re afraid of what i lack
if that’s all we have to offer
i won’t try to bring it back

i love myself, i love the world
there’s so much life i wanna feel
there’s so much more to transformation
than what loneliness can heal
i know a thing or two and i don’t say this with conceit
but as much as i need you,
it’s also true that you need me

i love myself i love the world
i gotta work with what i got
it’s not like sometimes i’m deserving
and then sometimes i am not
i love myself, i love the world
that’s a special fucking thing
i let what’s true into my body
and my body lets me sing

i love myself, i love the world
i hope you know this includes you
let the music in your body baby
feel what it can do
we carry this inside us
and it’s ours until we’re dead
if you’d asked me what was sacred
this is what i would have said;
dai dai dai dai dai……..
