Full Song Lyrics

Verbal D
Chorus 1:
I’m blessed, I found my soulmate, yeah
Guess it wasn’t too late, no oh oh
Blessed, I found my soulmate, yeah
Being loved and loving back’s enough (x2)

Verbal D
Verse 1:
I'm looking for you, wherever you are
Steady picking up the pieces, not broken glass shards
Yeah, I'm holding on your hands, like a deck of cards
But I'll never let you go, ‘cause I cannot discard

Keeping you safe, like your own bodyguard
I'll still be standing by your side, when this living gets hard
Cause I’m tryna clean up, like a dirty backyard
Make sure I'm supporting you fully, so I give my regards

And...giving you strength, like a medicine ball
Continue building you up, like the Taj Mahal
So I’m speaking to you, from the Spirit within
We’re praying, talking with our God, through a conference call

Cause we're all about Christ, Saint John and Paul
Precious life inside you waits, in abdominal walls
Ever pouring out my heart, into these musical halls
I wanna be with you in Montreal…

Verbal D
Chorus 2:
I’m blessed, I found my soulmate, yeah
Guess it wasn’t too late, no oh oh
Blessed, I found my soulmate, yeah
Being loved and loving back’s enough (x2)

Verbal D
Verse 2:
Some’ll tear apart the heart, leave it mangled and mauled
Neglect it, disrespect it, abused like a bathroom stall
Reckless, careless with their actions, heart’s a trashed rag doll
You’ll need more than only your shawls just to cover it all

…Jealousy, envy, and hatred, feelings awol
Battered and bruised some choose over brew to drink alcohol
Violence involved, vicious circle revolves, you sprawled
An action that breaks love’s factions to fractions makes me appalled

That emotional baggage is such heavy haul
Just know my love is not a secret, ‘cause it’s no cabal
A soulmate never can be bought like products in a mall
I value essence of your soul, not any wherewithal

My Love, I’ll never push you down like using aerosols
I’m only gonna lift you up, I’m gonna air us all
Then I will land us in Miami, Paris, and Nepal
I’ll always be right by your side, ’til I can’t even crawl…even crawl

Verbal D
Chorus 3:
I’m blessed, I found my soulmate, yeah
Guess it wasn’t too late, no oh oh
Blessed, I found my soulmate, yeah
Being loved and loving back’s enough (x2)

This is such a tearjerker, my bro! If I had this reaction, I could only imagine how your wife must've been feeling when she heard this. This was a great song to start my day with.

The lyrics really hit you straight to the heart. I stand by what I said about you doing your best work when the theme is about your family. This probably has my favorite chorus of all of your songs. For some reason, I dug the second verse even more than when I first read it. I didn't expect this to be one of your head-bobbing entries, but I did sneak in quite a few bobs in there.

Props to @edgarstudio for the beat. One tiny nitpick though, the vocals were a bit overpowered by the background music. If you ever decide to re-record this, I'm sure you'd come around to readjust that imbalance. Amazing as always, brother! I never expected any less :D

Thank you bro, my wife loved the song and was singing it immediately. When it comes to songs for my family, I don't hold back one bit, and I try to make the strongest impacts and positive influences directed to one person when I write, and my wife is definitely no exception!
So glad this made your head bob, and I too enjoy the chorus. I'm going to be recording this one professionally so don't worry,

Edgar really did amazing with this beat and I agree of the overpowering music, but when I have kids to take care of and limited time frames to do my open mics, I can only re-do my songs so many times before I just pick the best one and upload it quickly before jumping back into parenthood from musician mode haha. That's the life! Appreciate you bro always

Oh, I'd bet! From how I've come to know you, your dedication and devotion to your family is an exampled that should be set as a standard. I can only wish that I hold a candle to the example you had set when I become a husband and a father.

Definitely looking forward to the professional recording version. Take your time with it, bro. Greatness can't be rushed :D

Oh, and this has already reached 2217 votes!! That's crazy! :O I'm extremely happy for you, bro! This is the number that I feel you deserve for all of your posts! :D

Thank you for those words bro, it makes me want to strive even further to improve my fatherhood and husband embodiments. And yeah, I'll take my time, but sometimes, great songs are rushed, from my experience :)
The support is truly beautiful and I'm humbled by it. You should be receiving the same kind of up vote counts

Looove it !!!!!
You are such a beautiful couple and you guys match perfectly together. I am always blown away from your talent and meaningful lyrics.

But you definitely need a great microphone so we can hear your voice better. But anyway awesome beat, amazing song - always love to hear your pieces

verbal-d (71) 7 years ago

Thank you so much @soldier
I always value you your kind and caring feedback

And yes you are definitely correct! Some of the best undiscovered musicians are unheard or unappreciated due to a lack of quality recording devices such as a quality microphone :)
I'll improve my next performances, and I'll be recording this song professionally soon too!
