about

From the "Under the Covers" EP. Lauryn Hill's recording of this song, from her MTV Unplugged 2.0 album, just shakes you to the core. This is an incredible song and it speaks to finding faith from the Goddess inside.

This was an exciting experiment: I recorded the baritone uke and vocals together on a hand-held-note-to-self-type Sony recorder, then worked some magic in Garage Band.

This is for AJ, the Goddess.

lyrics

I Gotta Find Peace of Mind

I gotta find peace of mind, I gotta find peace of mind
He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible
He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible.

He says there's no me without him,
Please help me forget about him
He takes all my energy, trapped in my memory
Constantly holding me, constantly holding me...

I need to tell you all, all the pain he's caused, mm-hmm
I need to tell I'm, I'm undone because, mm-mmm
He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible.
He says it's impossible without him, but I know it's possible

To finally be in love, and know the real meaning of
A lasting relationship, not based on ownership
I trust every part of you,
'Cause all that you say you do

You love me despite myself, sometimes I fight myself
I just can't believe that you, would have anything to do
With someone so insecure, someone so immature
Oh you inspire me, to be the higher me

You make my desire pure, you make my desire pure
Oh! Just tell me what to say, I can't find the words to say
Please don't be mad with me, I have no identity
All that I've known is gone, all I was building on..

I don't wanna walk with you, but how do I talk to you?

Touch my mouth with your hands,
Touch my mouth with your hands
Oh, I wanna understand, the meaning of your embrace
I know now I have to face the temptations of my past:

Please don't let me disgrace, where my devotion lays
Now that I know the truth, now that it's no excuse
Keeping me from your love, what was I thinking of?
Holding me from your love, what was I thinking of?

You are my peace of mind, that old me is left behind.
You are my peace of mind, that old me is left behind.
He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible!
He says it's improbable, but I know it's tangible!
He says it's not grab-able, but I know it's have-able!
'Cause anything is possible, yeah, anything is possible.

Oh! Please come free my mind,
Can you see my mind? Oh,
Won't you come free my mind?

Oh, I know it's possible.
Anything, anything, anything, anything, yeah.
Anything, anything, anything, anything, yeah.
Anything, anything, anything, anything, yeah [.]

Oh, free! Free your mind.
Free your, free your mind...
Free, free your mind.

Oh, it's so possible, oh it's so possible
I'm telling you: it's possible, I'm telling you it's possible to
Free, free free...free your mind.
Free, free: free your mind.
Free! Free!
Free, free, free, free.

You're my peace of mind, that old me is left behind.
You're my peace of mind, you're my peace of mind,
You're my peace of mind, you're my peace of mind.
You're my peace of mind,

What a joy it is to be alive.

To get another chance,
Everyday's another chance.
To get it right this time:
What a joy it is to be alive.

Oh what a merciful, merciful, merciful God
What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful God
Oh, what a merciful, merciful, merciful
Merciful, oh wonderful.

-Lauryn Hill
