To all the SOUL fans out there...here's a cover of my favorite Alicia Keys song. I used a piano instrumental by Sandrine C on YouTube. PLEASE don't forget to UPVOTE & RESTEEM if you enjoyed this video!


Lyrics:
Beautiful garden, where have you gone?
My self delusions are leaving me in the storm
Taking for granted, all the goodness that I've found
Somewhere I lost all, the control came crashing down.

And I pray for forgiveness
Look for the answers
Cause it's hard
For me to pretend
Look to my mother
Call to the captain
Can't you see
This state that I'm in?
And no one would notice
Nobody noticed
Cause it's me where it begins

Beautiful morning, please don't wake me from my sleep
'Cause I need some comfort, to regain my sanity
I don't want to feel this crazy,
I don't want to feel discarded
Shattered in a million pieces
I'm so broken hearted
No where left to run
No where left to go
So I hope

I pray for forgiveness
Look for the answers
'Cause it's hard for me to pretend
Look to my mother
Call to the captain
Can't you see
This state that I'm in?
And no one would notice
Nobody noticed
That it's me, where it begins
And I pray for forgiveness within

I swear that everyday I feel like my mind is haunting me
I think of every little stupid mistake that has been made
This time I don't have the strength to gather myself
I'm falling to pieces

And I pray for forgiveness
Look for the answer
'Cause it's hard for me to pretend
Look to my mother
Call to the captain
Can't you see
This state that I'm in?
Pray for forgiveness
Looking for justice
Searching for answers
Call to my mother
Pray for forgiveness
Breaking the silence

Nobody knows it, nobody noticed
That it's me
Where it begins
