Each Tear by Mary J. Blige



I watched Oprah Winfrey Show recently and the guest star is Mary J. Blige. I didn't hear her song often, but what I know is, most of the song she sing have a powerful lyrics.

Mary lived in a depressive neighborhood as she get used to see woman being abused, drug addiction and so on. One moment, she pray on top a bridge and hope that God can change her life.. At that time, she got an "aha" moment, she saw sun came out between the dark cloud and she got strength to struggle and out of her depressive neighborhood.

She promised will be came back to her neighborhood, change and help young woman to be well educated and confident. Now, she open FFAWN (Foundation For the Advancement of Woman Now - http://www.ffawn.org/), to help young woman in getting better education, environment and work..

She also sing a wonderful song that inspire me so much, the title is "Each Tear", here are the lyrics :

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


Mary J. Blige is one of the most honest woman for me, she lived simple and help with simple reason..
