Bee

I got a heart full of love, pouring it out every day

Walking the halls as a nurse, chasing the shadows away

They call me Bee, I’m sweet as honey, I’m kind

But if you mess with my own, you're gonna see I draw a line

I give my soul to the world, I keep my spirit so bright

But I protect my own peace, and I can stand up and fight

'Cause if you didn't make my joy

Then you can't take my joy

I built this happiness up from the ground

And ain't nobody gonna bring it down

I got that sunshine deep inside of my soul

I'm in control, yeah, I'm making the choice

If you didn't make it, you can't take my joy

Three babies raised up strong, they are the pride of my life

Through all the shifts and the years, through every sacrifice

Now I’m a Nonna of eight, looking at all that we've grown

A beautiful family tree, the sweetest love I have known

I wrap 'em up in my light, I give 'em all that I have

And when I look at their smiles, I know exactly who I am

'Cause if you didn't make my joy

Then you can't take my joy

I built this happiness up from the ground

And ain't nobody gonna bring it down

I got that sunshine deep inside of my soul

I'm in control, yeah, I'm making the choice

If you didn't make it, you can't take my joy

I got a love-filled heart, but I'm standing my ground

I won't let nobody's darkness ever turn me around

I spent a lifetime healing, giving all I can give

So I'm protecting my spirit, that's just the way that I live

Yeah, I'm joyful and free, exactly who I should be

And if you didn't make my joy

Then you can't take my joy

I built this happiness up from the ground

And ain't nobody gonna bring it down

I got that sunshine deep inside of my soul

I'm in control, yeah, I'm making the choice

If you didn't make it, you can't take my joy

No, you can't take my joy
