John Legend

John Legend is phenomenal.

I just wanted to talk about how amazing this guy's voice is.

My mom and I love him,

and I just got her the new CD (we cheated and opened some gifts early)

OMG IT'S AWESOME!

His lyrics are great,

and he does a mix of styles,

which I love.

My mom even likes the hip hop stuff!

This guy is a musical genius,

and I'm obsessing right now.

So if your looking for something to listen to,

check this guy out.

IF YOU'RE OUT THERE

"If you hear this message, wherever you stand

I'm calling every woman, calling every man
We're the generation
We can't afford to wait
The future started yesterday and we're already late

We've been looking for a song to sing
Searched for a melody
Searched for someone to lead
We've been looking for the world to change
If you feel the same
Then go on and say

If you're out there
Sing along with me
If you're out there
I'm dying to believe that you're out there
Stand up and say it loud
If you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now
Now, now

No more broken promises
No more call to war
Unless it's love and peace that we're really fighting for
We can destroy hunger
We can conquer hate
Put down the arms and raise your voice
We're joining hands today

Oh I was looking for a song to sing
I searched for a leader
But the leader was me
We were looking for the world to change
We can be heroes
Just go on and say

If you're out there
Sing along with me
If you're out there
I'm dying to believe that you're out there
Stand up and say it loud
If you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now
Now, now

Oh now, now

If you're ready we can shake the world
Believe again
It starts within
We don't have to wait for destiny
We should be the change that we want to see

If you're out there
Ooooh
If you're out there
And you're ready now
Say it loud
Scream it out

If you're out there
Sing along with me
If you're out there
I'm dying to believe that you're out there
Stand up and say it loud
If you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now

If you're out there
If you're out there
If you're out there

If you hear this message, wherever you stand
I'm calling every woman, calling every man
We're the generation
We can't afford to wait
The future started yesterday and we're already late"

I LOVE YOU LOVE

[Verse 1:]
"(Oh) Hush my baby, Don't you cry.
I'll dry your eyes. Fulfill your heart's desire.
Let's go in. Try again.
Careful this time. Broken promises linger in our mind.

I'll give in completely. Hearts break so easy.
I know. Believe me. Oh, I've tried.
But my arms can hold you. My kiss console you.
I'll come and love you tonight.

[Chorus:]
And I...
I love, I love, I love
Love hurts sometimes
But this feels right."

TAKE ME AWAY

"We danced and sang, somewhere in between heaven and hell
Gabrielle, that was her name
Everyone was smiling, even through their tears, under her spell
But in Gabrielle's eyes - nothing (?)
I asked: Do you not like the music?
She said: It's alright
But she dances to her own side
So she saýs:


Take me away from here
Take me somewhere, where love is like breathing
I don't care where we go as long as I'm there with you, baby
Long as I'm there with you"

These are some of the lyrics from his new CD but I love his older ones just as much too.

Especially

"Where Did My Baby Go" and 

"Save Room"
