Tears for Water, Keys, Alicia

All my life, Ive written these words with no thought or intention of sharing them. Not even with my confidants. These are my most delicate thoughts. The ones that I wrote down just so I could understand what in the world these things I was thinking meant...

When she burst onto the music scene with her multi-million bestselling, Grammy(R) Award-winning first album, Songs in A Minor, Alicia Keys became a superstar. Two decades later, her career has expanded into producing, acting, and passionate activism--winning her worldwide acclaim, numerous awards, and a spot on Times list of The 100 Most Influential People.

Though Alicia has been very vocal through her career, there were always delicate thoughts that she never before imagined shed share with anyone else--until now. In Tears for Water, Alicia Keys opens the journals and notebooks that she has kept throughout her life and reveals her heart to her fans in return for all the love they have shown to her and her music.

Hello morning
now I see you
cause I am awake
What was once so sweet and secure
has turned out to be fake
Girl, you cant be scared
gotta stand up tall and let em see what shines in you
Push aside the part
lying in your heart
like the ocean is deep, dark and blue
