[First Verse]   She rested her head upon my chest   Sensed liberation in between breaths   Wonder if sex is what she found it in   Peace, found it laying down with men   Wasn't there to judge her, many ways I loved her   It was more than bodies we shared with each other   We layed under the cover of friends   A place where many lovers began   I began, to feel her body shake in my hand   Body language, it's so hard trying to understand   Usually after sex, it's a good feel   Took by silence, emotion stood still   I could feel, her tears spill, from her grille   Hurt from before that began to build   She told me hold me, a story she assembled it   Tellin' it, trying not to remember it   It was a story of innocence taken   Thought she could redeem, through love makin'   When she was eight she was raped by her father   And tried to escape through multiple sex partners   Felt pitiful, she had only learned,   To love through the physical, inside it burned   My heart turned, I thought of what this man did   She forgave him, she grew to understand it   Her soul was tired and never really rested   Only with men through aggression   Said it was a blessing and it happened for a reason   By speaking it, she found freedom   Between me and you (echo)      [Chorus - Cee-Lo]   Sometimes I wish a, careless whisper   Serenade her, without speaking a word   Because of you I'm stronger, I'm afraid no longer   I feel so alive in me, you have liberated me      [Second Verse]   She laid, I watched her breathe   Happy to be here, not afraid to leave   I couldn't concieve her not being here   Death in her face her not having fear   Less than a year she was diagnosed with it   Memories of that year, so close and vivid   Happiness, would only visit, once in a while   To watch an adult, becoming a child   Somehow, I knew she'd make it   The life of one so given early would God take it?   Hurt she placed in, hope and prayer   Hurt she placed in chemo and lost hair   I stare with my eyes closed   Wonder when the body leave does the mind go   Watchin' Jordan became less important   Seeing this disease eat away my aunt's organs   According to doctors theres no cure   We went through doubt, and cases of insure   Wish I knew then how to heal with herbs   Knew a part of her I could heal with words   But the (?) was (?)   What seemed like the end was the beginning for her   Like that, she didn't want us to remember her   No more medication did she want us to give to her   It spread from her liver to her lungs to her last breath   Only to be freed through death   Between me and you (echo)      [Chorus]      [Third Verse]   He spoke with his eyes, tear-filled   A lump in his throat, his fear built   My whole life it was in steel   This ain't the way that men feel   A feeling, he said he wish he could kill   A feeling, not even time could heal   This is how real life's supposed to be?   For it to happen to someone close to me?   So far we'd come, for him to tell me   As he did, insecurity held me   I felt like he failed me   To the spirit, yelled help me   I'd known him for like what seemed forever   About going pro we dreamed together   Never knew it would turn out like this   For so long he tried to fight this   Now there was no way for him to ignore it   His parents found out and hated him for it   How could I judge him? Had to accept him if I truly loved him   No longer he said had he hated himself   Through sexuality he liberated himself   Between me and you (echo)      [Chorus]      Liberation...   Peace
