Find lyrics to the song below:

VERSE 1:

Take a minute take take a minute

Take a minute take take a minute

Just take a minute, put yourself in those shoes

Those little shoes beaten and bruised

Ambitious girls, educated girls, beautiful girls, African girls

Taken in the name of hatred, taken in the name of satan

It’s my prayer right now that each and every girl makes it 

Home oohh

Ohhhcan you hear my prayer, can you hear me crying,

Can you wipe away the tears even after they’ve been dried?

Singing Lord! Why have you left us in despair?

Ooh I can’t feel the pain

I only see the rain

I can hear the girls crying through my windowpane

CHORUS:

You’ve got me feeling emotions

I can’t explain how I feel

Ooh ooh you’ve got me feeling emotions

Deeper than ever before

VERSE 2:

If I were one of those girls, I would fight hard

And hope that everybody’s prayer hits heaven hard

I’d run away so fast

For my future, 

And pray his angels keep me in their wings lord

If I was Rebecca, Naomi, or Sarayah

Hope to god that my captors don’t burn in the fire

I would pray that their hatred don’t cause me to hate

And forgiveness in my heart would make em’ change their ways

ooohhh

I wanna go to school, and feed my family, I wanna live my life

I wanna be… free

CHORUS:

You’ve got me feeling emotions

Deeper than ever before

I can’t explain how i feel

Ooh ooh you’ve got me feeling emotions

Higher than the heavens above

OUTRO:

Just take a minute, put yourself in those shoes

Those little shoes beaten and bruised

Ambitious girls, educated girls, beautiful girls, African girls
