I Sing (Original Song from the Motion Picture "Respect"). Damita Jo Gospel, Soul2022
[INTRO]
Lord I sing for you to heal me from all the wounds caused by the thorny road that life is
 For all the times the world brought me down
 I sing as gratitude for becoming who I am today
 Lord, I sing so that you hear all the prayers I make in times of despair
 Though I walked through the valley of the shadows of death
 I sing for all the stones thrown at me and today I understand that they made me stronger

[FIRST VERSE]
 I want my voice to be heard, respected and remembered
 May the gift God has given me be enough to cross racial lines
 And may everything I preach not be in vain
 My faith was my main guide
 Love is my main character
 My music is inspired by your infinite glory
 I grew up and was educated to be much more than a housewife
 And today I'm a black woman, breaking barriers
 Nothing was easy for me, many fights I lost
 In traps created by prejudice, I fell
 And even though many times my hope was almost exhausted
 Nothing could confuse my mind
 'Cause the gift that was given to me can't be taken away

[CHORUS]
 And Lord I sing to you
 Because I'm being released from the traumas of the little child that still inhabits my heart
 I sing for you to save the innocence stolen from every child who was abused by the evil in the soul of man
 I sing for them to free themselves and be able to recover from the sequels left in their lives
 Lord I sing to you
 For giving me the strength to live the great love I found
 Even if he's not good or accepted by everyone
 Amid the turbulent moments of this unfair life, he showed me what it's like to love and be loved

[SECOND VERSE]
 I fought and I'm still fighting, I know the war on this earth will never end
 I had to be strong to face all the times when I felt helpless and alone in the world
 All the experiences I was forced to live so young
 From the marks left by the man I trusted my heart
 For the unhappiness I experienced while growing up and when I matured
 How foolish I was to fall so easily into existing evils
 How I got lost along the way
 But I looked for respect
 Me, my body, my story and my life
 And I feel at peace knowing that in the end I found your eternal mercy

[CHORUS]
 Lord I sing to you
 May my voice be an eternal prayer for a better world
 May all my mistakes be seen as learnings
 That I left a great legacy
 May I be remembered for my moments of glory and not those of bitterness
 Lord I sing so my song will be heard for years and years
 And I am eternal in the memories.
