My Power Songtext
von Edie Brickell & New Bohemians

Everybody tried to tell me, "Don′t do that"
"Keep it for yourself, don't give it to that man"
Gave it all away, I′m trying to get it back

My power
My power
My power
My power

Filling up my shelf with every self-help book
Listened to a lecture telling me I'm good
I know you didn't mean it but I think you took

My power
My power
My power
My power

Looking back on the whole thing
It felt like a bad dream
Curled up into a ball, y′all
It took all my power


Everybody telling me that I′m a mess
Gotta find a place where I can be myself
Meditate and elevate and reaccept

My power
My power
My power
My power

Coming into my own now
I don't feel so alone now, now, now
Coming back from a fall, y′all
It takes all my power

Oh, they told me
"You let him have way too much"
And they told me
"Get it back, get your stuff"
And they told me
"Go on, stand up"
And they told me
"Go ahead, take it back, take it back"


My power
My power
My power
My power
My power
My power
My power
