Where It All Begins Lyrics

If you say what you mean, and mean what you say, aaaahhhhaaahhhh
if the person you are and who you portray, aaaahhhhaaahhhh
If you're living your life without looking in
That's where it all begins

Keeping up with the Joneses ... ain't gonna never get you anywhere
Same job, same car, is that who you really are?
Deep inside you know in your heart, everybody is a star
We all want a love bizarre
As we travel along this road of ours
You already know, yeah
The way you must go, you can go your own way
The moment is now, open your eyes
Hey, hey,

If you say what you mean, and mean what you say, aaaahhhhaaahhhh
if the person you are and who you portray, aaaahhhhaaahhhh
If you're living your life without looking in
That's where it all begins

So it's up to you, what you gonna do?
Now that you have no excuse
This is the day that was made for you, yeah, yeah

What if you really walked in light of the love you really are
And you knew that you were, a superstar
Would all of that stuff be more than enough
To be anything you want
You already know, yeah
The way you must go, you can go your own way
The moment is now, you have arrived
Right here...

If you say what you mean, and mean what you say, aaaahhhhaaahhhh
if the person you are and who you portray, aaaahhhhaaahhhh
If you're living your life without looking in
That's where it all begins

If you say what you mean, and mean what you say, aaaahhhhaaahhhh
if the person you are and who you portray, aaaahhhhaaahhhh
If the love that you seek doesn't start from within
That's where it all begins...

You already know, yeah
The way you must go, you can go your own way
The moment is now, you have arrived

If you say what you mean, and mean what you say, aaaahhhhaaahhhh
if the person you are and who you portray, aaaahhhhaaahhhh
If you're living your life without looking in
That's where it all begins (Repeat)

Lalah Hathaway is a contemporary R&B/Jazz singer and the daughter of soul legend Donny Hathaway. After studying at Berklee, Hathaway signed with Virgin Records and released her self titled debut, Lalah Hathaway, in 1990. The set spawned 4 R&B Hits, including the Top 5 smash Heaven Knows. Her 1994 follow up, A Moment, did less well, and Hathaway parted ways with Virgin. She went on to work with many other established artists, including Take 6, Mary J. Blige and Marcus Miller, writing, producing and doing background vocals.

In 1999 Jazz legend Joe Sample collaborated with Lalah on the album The Song Lives On, which became a staple on both Jazz and Smooth R&B radio, as well as topping the Jazz charts. However, it would not be until 2004 that Lalah Hathaway would resurface with her own project. She had her biggest hit single in years with an inspired cover of the late Luther Vandross' Forever, For Always, For Love, topping the Urban AC Chart and reaching Top 40 on Billboards mainstream R&B chart, a feat repeated by Outrun the Sky, Hathaway's first solo album in a decade, which was released late in the year.
