Something for superwomen...! Alicia Keys

Posted on Aug 18th, 2008 by Sherrilene : Living Ever Closer to Excellence! Sherrilene

From one of the most beautiful and talented artistes around, Alicia Keys, a tribute to you incredible women, carrying the world on your shoulders, your hips and your hearts as well. I can't think what the world would be without women at home taking care of heart matters... It's actually a crazy thought to consider...

In honour of harmony and an increasingly balanced load, I give you and me some loving attention right now and pray for all those women around the world with no rights, who are subjected discrimination in immigration and as refugees, violence, imprisonment, health, education and access to finance and at the very least the sex trade.

I submit that the problems of this world are not about external environmental pollution etc, they are about neglect of the home, of what is most precious to humanity. I honour us Superwomen out there and forge a warm bond with you that will encompass the whole of mankind to bring love and harmony to all of us.

Much love. Sherri

Everywhere I'm turning
Nothing seems complete
I stand up and I'm searching
For the better part of me
I hang my head from sorrow
state of humanity
I wear it on my shoulders
Gotta find the strength in me

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

For all the mothers fighting
For better days to come
And all my women, all my women sitting here trying
To come home before the sun
And all my sisters
Coming together
Say yes I will
Yes I can

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

When I'm breaking down
And I can't be found
And I start to get weak
Cause no one knows
Me underneath these clothes
But I can fly
We can fly, Oh

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

Was also honoured to see AK live a few years ago with my niece… a dream come true for her. Her life has been forever changed at 18. She is now a Single mother - Superwoman for the rest of her life as well.

Blessings to all. Sherri

Love this Sherri..

I posted a couple of months back on my blog after receiving her album as a gift from my son..
So wonderful and powerful,
yes all of us out there…and in here:) who hold our center, and without those great and wonderful men also we would not be who we are…

'' And all my women, all my women sitting here trying to get home before the sun''

and..

'' Say yes I will ''

Wow girl a brilliant post,
it reminds us of all we achieve, even on those days where we feel tired,
aint nothin:)  can come between us and our faith, our connection and truth, our faith and knowing  who we are, what we are and the love which keeps us all strong and courageous…

I am so loving you guys for coming in and giving appreciation for our struggles, which are the struggles of all mankind for certain. With respect to keeping things real, I really felt no choice but to raise this… there's too much hypocrisy and hiding out in this place [called Earth ;) ].

I can't keep patronising males and encouraging males to patronise me.

Let's hope this momentum takes off and much much more sensitivity for day to day heroes takes its place. If I NEVER hear about a bloody political 'leader' again for 10 years it will be quite soon enough.

Just sensitivity; this is all the world needs. A big heart.

You are lovely and loving and wonderful and God bless you for your open hearts.

Kisses and blessings to all my beautiful friends who visit or share this blog with anybody that you see fit.

Thank you ever so much again.

Thanks Sherri for coming by Extreme Social Capitalism in Action and linking me to your post here. It is amazing that we posted these on the same day! I have only had a chance to do a quck fly-by of your website but it looks like we are sisters sailing our boast of human and social potential on the same sea. Thank you again for this connection and for recognizing the synergies in our work. Until later. Terrill:)

I love Alicia Keys.  I used this song….. 

When You Really Love Someone by Alicia Keys

I'm a woman
Lord knows it's hard
I need a real man to give me what I need
Sweet attention, love and tenderness
When it's real, its unconditional, I'm telling ya'll
Cause a man just ain't a man if he ain't man enough

To love you when you're right
Love you when you're wrong
Love you when you're weak
Love you when you're strong
Take you higher when the world got you feeling low
He's giving you his last, cause he's thinking of you first
Giving comfort when he's thinking that you're hurt
That's what's done when you really love someone
I'm telling ya'll, I'm telling ya'll

Cause you're a real man
And Lord knows it's hard
Sometimes you just need a woman's touch
Sweet affection, love and support
When it's real its unconditional
I'm telling ya'll, oh
Cause a woman ain't a woman if she ain't woman enough

To love you when you're right
Love you when you're wrong
Love you when you're weak
Love you when you're strong
Take you higher when the world got you feeling low
She's giving you her best, even when you're at your worse
Giving comfort when she's thinking that you're hurt
That's what's done when you really love someone
I'm telling ya'll, I'm telling ya'll
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Sometimes you're gonna argue, sometimes you're gonna fight
Sometimes it's gonna feel like it'll never be right
But something so strong keeps you hold'n on
It don't make sense but it makes a good song
Cause a man just ain't a man if he ain't man enough

To love you when you're right
Love you when you're wrong
Love you when you're weak
Love you when you're strong (Love when you when you're strong)
(Take you high'a) when the world got you feeling low
He's giving you his last, cause he's thinking of you first
Giving comfort when he's thinking that you're hurt
That's what's done when you really love someone
I'm telling ya'll, I'm telling ya'll
I'm telling ya'll that a woman ain't a woman if she ain't woman enough
(To love ya!)
Love you when you're right
Love you when you're wrong
(To hold ya!)
Love you when you're weak
Love you when you're strong
Take you higher and higher
when the world got you feeling low
She's giving you her best, even when you're at your worse
(even when you're at your worst, BABYBA!)
Giving comfort when she's thinking that you're hurt
That's what's done when you really love someone
I'm telling ya'll, I'm telling ya'll
Mm, mm, yeah (4x)


as part of my “adam & dawn forever play list” that I burned the week before our wedding, as a musical reminder of why we decided to marry each other.  :-) 

and just this minute I read, “One Song!  That is our uni (one) verse (song).  No matter how we separate into individual notes, we're all still involved in the one song.”  from Dr Wayne Dyer's little book Everyday Wisdom.

That makes me happy.  :-) 

the whole universe is one song with many, many notes!  yay!

Dawn, sorry I took so long to come back. Yes, Alicia is one very insightful lady. And I do admire Wayne Dyer a lot as well! Lots of wisdom floating around in the world! Gives me hope :)

Thanks so much! Love always, Sherri
