Tears for water - songbook of poems & lyrics -

Après ses deux excellents albums, Alicia a publié un receuil de poêmes ( elle y regroupe quelque uns des poêmes qu'elle a écrit depuis qu'elle est toute jeune ) et de paroles des chansons de ses deux albums(Songs In A Minor et The Diary of Alicia Keys), intitulé Tears for water.
Ce livre n'étant pas disonible en europe ( sauf via internet ) j'me suis dit que j'allais quand même vous mettre mon poême préféré du livre .

In my search for heaven

Is it a game we play
Every day of our lives
trying to find
what we believe
trying to learn what is right ?
So many mistakes I've made
so many times
so many tears
Trying to learn to live
with these regrets of mine

Still it makes me feel like shit
feels like damn
feels like I'm burning inside
It makes me feel like shit
feels like damn
feeks like I'm going through hell
In my search for heaven

What is this world we live in ?
where you're taught that beauty is skin
Makes you dazed and confused
sets you up to lose
but man, I'm trying to win
So many mistakes I've made
so many times
so many tears
Trying to learn to live
with these regrets of mine

Still it makes me feel like shit
feels like damn
feels like I'm burning inside
Oh, It makes me feel like shit
feels like damn
feeks like I'm going through hell
In my search for heaven
