So let it go and feel the flow
If you've got soul, let the world know

Was it something I let slip
Does the whole world know
Isn't it obvious?
I'm the one who's in control
Now i'm uigizaji like a fool
Do my feelings onyesha
Is my face aglow
Isn't it obviuos?
That I don't know what i'm doing anymore
I'm feeling like a little girl
Caught up in emotions
I'm out of control
isn't it obvious?
Do wewe see my hands, they tremble
Wonder why I can't look wewe in the eyes
Don't know how long
i can keep this inside
Isn't it obvious?
That I don't know what i'm doing anymore
I'm feeling like a little girl
Caught up in emotions
I'm out of control
isn't it obvious?
Suddenly these emotions are in control of my moyo
Can wewe see it in my eyes
Every glance, every smile must give me away
And I feel so much I can't hide
That I don't know what i'm doing anymore
I'm feeling like a little girl
Caught up in emotions
I'm out of control
isn't it obvious?
Always walking in the shadows
Then I look at what you've aliyopewa me
I feel like dancing on my tiptoes
I must say everyday I wake
And realize you're kwa my side
Chorus
I know I'm truly
Blessed for everything wewe give me
Blessed for all he tenderness wewe onyesha
I'll do my best with every breath that's in me
Blessed to make sure wewe never go
There are times that test your faith
'Till wewe think wewe might surrender
Baby I'm, I'm not ashamed to say
That my hopes were growing slender
wewe walked kwa in the nick of time
Looking like an answered prayer
Chorus
Blessed with upendo and understanding
Blessed when I hear wewe call my name
I'll do my best with faith that's never ending
Blessed to make sure wewe feel the same
Deep inside of me wewe fill me with your gentle touch
Chorus
