Mary J Blige never ceases to amaze me. What's always made her special is that from the very beginning she's always sang her truth, bared her soul in good times and in bad. Around the time of the new century, the singer had finally come to a good place in her life and the new truths she had uncovered through her own experiences were lessons she'd learned along the way. She shared those lessons with us on her 2001 song, "No More Drama", and the trend continued on with such songs as "Just Fine" and "Work That", just to name a couple.
Whereas in the past Mary's fans connected with her through her heartbreak and sorrow, today they can be inspired by all that she has learned. There's a song off of her latest CD, "With Each Tear", that is another one of those life lessons Mary chooses to share with us. Aside from her powerful and heavenly voice, it is another one of those great gifts she shares with us. Take a look and a listen...
Each Tear
There's something that I want to say,
But I feel I don't know how.
Until I just can't hold it one more day,
So I think I let it out.
You're on my mind more than I may show
You're in my heart more than you may know
And the last thing that I want,
Is for you to fall apart.
Your future will be clearer,
I want you to remember.
In each tear
there's a lesson, (there's a lesson)
Makes you wiser than before (wiser)
Makes you stronger than you know (stronger)
In each tear (each tear)
Brings you closer to your dreams
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're ment to be...
We can't change the things,
That we done, that's in our past.
But fighting won't get us anywhere,
So if you want, then here's my hand...
Every night there is one thing I do
I bow my head and I pray for you (pray for you)
And the last thing that I want (that I want)
Is for you to fall apart
Your future will be clearer
I want you to remember
In each tear
there's a lesson, (there's a lesson)
Makes you wiser than before (wiser)
Makes you stronger than you know (stronger)
In each tear (each tear)
Brings you closer to your dreams
No mistake, no heartbreak
Can take away what you're meant to be
You're much more than a struggle that you go through
You're not defined by your pain, so let it go...
You're not a victim, you're more like a winner
And you're not in defeat, you're more like a queen
In each tear
there's a lesson, (there's a lesson)...
