I love India Arie- she's a great lyricist. This is from "There's Hope."
Off in the back country of Brazil
A met a young brotha that made me feel
That I could accomplish anything.
You see just like me he wanted to sing
He had no windows and no doors
He lived a simple life and was extremely poor
On top of all of that he had no eye sight,
but that didn't keep him from seein' the light
He said, what's it like in the USA
and all I did was complain
He said- livin' here is paradise
He taught me paradise is in your mind
You know that
-India Arie
