“Good Job”

You’re the engine that makes all things go
And you’re always in disguise, my hero
I see your light in the dark
Smile in my face when we all know it’s hard
There’s no way to ever pay you back
Bless your heart, know I love you for that
Honest and selfless
I don’t know if this helps it but

Good Job
You’re doing a good job
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter
Matter matter yeah

Good Job
You’re doing a good job
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter
Matter matter yeah

Six in the morning
And soon as you walk through that door
Everyone needs you again
The world’s out of order
It’s not as sound
When you’re not around
All day on your feet
Hard to
Keep that energy
I know
When it feels like the end of the road
You don’t let go
You just press forward
You’re the engine that makes all things go
Always in disguise, my hero
I see a light in the dark
Smile in my face
When we all know it’s hard
There is no way to ever pay you back
Bless your heart
Know I love you for that
Honest and selfless
I don’t know if this helps it but

Good Job
You’re doing a good job
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter
Matter matter yeah

Good job
You’re doing a good job
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter
Matter matter yeah

The Mothers
The Fathers
The Teachers that reach us
Strangers to friends
That show up in the end
From the bottom to the top
The listeners that hear us
This for you
You make me fearless

You’re doing a good Job
You’re doing a good job
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter
Matter matter yeah

Alicia Keys, “Girl on Fire”, Lyrical Lines, Women's History Month

Girl on Fire

She’s just a girl, and she’s on fire

Hotter than a fantasy, longer than a highway

She’s living in a world, and it’s on fire

Feeling the catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away

Oh, she got both feet on the ground

And she’s burning it down

Oh, she’s got her head in the clouds

And she’s not backing down

🔥

This girl is on fire

This girl is on fire

She’s walking on fire

This girl is on fire

🔥

Looks like a girl, but she’s a flame

So bright, she can burn your eyes

Better look the other way

You can try but you’ll never forget her name

She’s on top of the world

Hottest of the hottest girls say

Oh, we got our feet on the ground

And we’re burning it down

Oh, got our head in the clouds

And we’re not coming down

🔥

This girl is on fire

This girl is on fire

She’s walking on fire

This girl is on fire

🔥

Everybody stands, as she goes by

Cause they can see the flame that’s in her eye

Watch her when she’s lighting up the night

Nobody knows that she’s a lonely girl

And it’s a lonely world

But she’s gon’ let it burn, baby, burn

🔥

This girl is on fire

This girl is on fire

She’s walking on fire

This girl is on fire

Oh, oh, oh,

She’s just a girl, and she’s on fire

🔥

Alicia Keys, Black History Month, Hazel Scott, Words To Remember

At the Grammy Awards a few weeks ago, Alicia Keys dazzled everyone away not only by hitting the perfect notes as a host, but also by playing a medley of hit songs spanning five decades on TWO pianos! 

This was in tribute to Hazel Scott (1920 – 1981). Hazel was a jazz and classical pianist, singer, and actress. In addition to Lena Horne, Trinidadian-born Scott was one of the first Afro-Caribbean women to be given major film roles. She also was a courageous advocate for civil rights and was blacklisted during the McCarthy witch-hunt.
