lyrics

She thought that he could love her but she was wrong
And when she understood it she couldn't hold on
Without knowing where she was going she walked away
And with her sad and lonely heart she sat down
and prayed.

Teach me how to live
Show me that there is meaning in all of this
Teach me how to live
If it's not about love then what is life truly about?

She looked at her two hands, empty and
She saw how rough and calloused they'd become
The myth breaking that a woman needs saving from a man- out there and
The wind blew strong into her lungs
and she sang

Teach me how to live
She me that there is meaning in all of this
Teach me how to live
If it's not about love then what is life--

She sat, she sang, she prayed
And when she got quite she heard something say
Love's not a prize and gift or a lie or something to hide
It's a presence a knowing a life force that's glowing and it comes from
The inside

I know how to live
I wake up every morning and love myself again
Feel my own body, touch my own skin ohh
Moment to moment I make my own meaning
Moment to moment I make my own meaning

And she rose to her feet
so strong
And began to walk towards
What was to come

I know how to live
I wake up every morning and love myself again
Feel my own body, touch my own skin ohh
Moment to moment I make my own meaning
