Best Thing That Ever Happened Songtext

von Steve Jablonsky

Lt is not the movement of the clock,
That produces the newness of life...
Lt is the movement in your mind...
You go on hear all kind of things said about you...
Throw it behind you.
The enemies that you see today,
You will see them no more.
No weapon formed against you shall be able to prosper...
Every tongue that rises against you, God will condemn.
This is my time.
The truth of the matter is everybody in here, is going through a change.
You dont have to be ashamed of yours...
You are all in the process of transforming,
To a higher better expression of myself.
Let this be the year that l birth a higher better expression of myself...
Don't let the habits of my past,...
Stop me from this metamorphosis.
New Year, New Me!
NEW YEAR, NEW ME!!
What seperates us is transformation.
The possibiity of change...
The desire to evolve...
The passion to get up off the ground... and stop eating dirt.
Am tired of doing what l used to do...
Lf l always do what l have always done,... l will always be where l have always been.
Am go on throw it behind me.
Somebody in this room that,
That nobody will think will be in the church tonight,...
But you drew them into this place tonight
B'Cos you wanted to be
A New Me and
A New Year and have
A New Attitude and
A New mind
Cos the real battle ground... is in your mind.
That's where the fight is...
You lay down with it...
You get up with it...
You go to work with it...
You can't digest your food because of it...
Smiling in front of people and nobody knows that there is gunfire going off in your head...
Its not the geographical location
Its not debt.
Lts not money
Lts not haters.
Lts not enemies
Lts not liers.
Lts not backbitting
That's not the battleground.
Stop wasting your weapons on what people say...
Bc'os its not what they say about you that matters...
Lts what you... say about you... that threatens your destiny...
You will never be defeated by what they say about you...
You will be defeated by what you... say about you...
L dedicate this to you...
To the greatness in you And
To the dream that you showed up on the planet to produce
Lts simply this
Lf you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it,
To work day and night for it...
To give up your time, your peace and your sleep for it...
Lf all that you dream and scheme is about it,
And life seems useless and wortless without it...
And if you gladly sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it
And lose all your terror of the opposition for it...
And if you simply go after that thing that you want...
With all of your capacity strength and sagacity...
Faith, hope and confidence and stern pertinacity...
Lf neither cold, poverty, famine nor gout,...
Sickness nor pain, of body and brain can't keep you away from the things that you want...
Lf dogged and grim, you beseech and beset it...
With the help of God, you will get it.
You have greatness in you
What am trying to tell you beloved is that you can have a new year...
But it dont mean Jack diddley
Lf you dont have a new mind...
Am telling you that you can buy a new car...
But if you put the old man in the new car,
You still going to have the old experience.
Am telling you that a new house doesnt make a new marriage.
Am talking about a new outfit doesn't make you a new person.
And if you think you are magically gonna to be a new person...
L hate to be the bearer of bad news
Bc'os new life... comes from a new mind... and a new way of looking at your life.
L cannot step into the future... and still think in my past...
L cannot let the rumours and the stains of what they say about me destroy my opportunity...
Slap somebody and tell him.
L gotta kill it tonight ...
L gotta destroy it tonight...
L gotta get rid of it tonight...
L gotta throw it behind me tonight
L can't drag... that same old mess... into another year
End.
