U R Loved - Israel Houghton

U R Loved
- Israel Houghton

I used to say
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But words would never hurt me
But today
I can’t deny the pain
The knife the crime
Of all things they told me
Society economy that neighborhood
One the road to no good
They said you’d never amount to nothin’
(But I here to tell you)

You are loved
No matter what you’ve done
No matter what where you’re from
Or where you’re goin’
(You are loved)

You are loved
No matter what they said
No matter what they did
You gotta know this
You are loved
You are loved

Choices made
Decisions that I just wanna take back
Pretend they never happened
Real life
Abuse
No more
Excuses
The point is you’re still standin’
Fathers leave the missing link don’t do what they should and you’re left with no good
And they said you would never amount to nothin’ but I’m here letchu know
All we need is love to make it right
