Meaningful Melody: “I Was Here”-Beyonce
From her 4th studio album released last year, Beyonce once again proved that she had not left her soulful R&B roots behind with this emotionally charged ballad. “I Was Here” talks about her hopes of making a mark and a difference to the world once she has gone. The meaning behind this song is one we can take and attach to our own lives, using everyday as an opportunity to actively reach for our dreams to leave our own mark and legacy and to make a difference even if it’s in one person’s life.
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I’ve done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here
I want to say I lived each day, until I died
And know that I meant something in, somebody’s life
The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I lived
That I made a difference, and this world will see
I was here…

Meaningful Melody: Natasha Bedingfield-Unwritten
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Meaningful Melody:Go Get It; Mary Mary
“Go Get It” debuted back in Feb. of this year. The sister duo also featured the song on their hit reality show on We tv! As the song states, ‘you can’t make things happen unless you get out there and get it!- It’s your time!” “..You were made to live a good life and that’s what I believe, So hit the floor say a prayer start working you got to do something, It’s alright to crawl before you walk it’s alright to walk before you run, But if you wanna get what you never got gotta do something that you never done..” Post by: Kandice Lawson

Meaningful Melody: Elle Varner;So Fly
Off Elle Varner’s mixtape, Conversational Lush.
We as women all have those days when things don’t fit right, and that one strand of hair just will not lay down! The song speaks about embracing your everyday flaws for what they are, once you do that you could be so fly!!!
Is to be everything but me,
Colored contacts,
Liposuction,
And breast implants,
Somehow that don’t make much sense,
I must be out of my head,
If I think, that I am governed by material things.
So I decided I’m,
The definition of fly,
And if you want to know why,
I know what money can’t buy,
Don’t go believing the hype,
There’s no runway in the sky,
And no way you could be fly,
Not if it costs you a dime.”

Meaningful Melody: Lauryn Hill-That Thing
…Showing off ‘cause you’re thinking it’s a trend
Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again
You know I only say it ‘cause I’m truly genuine
Don’t be a hardrock when you’re really a gem..It’s silly when girls sell their soul because it’s in

Meaningful Melody: Kirk Franklin; I Smile
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile,
I know God is working so I smile,
Even though I’ve been here for a while (what you do?)
I smile, smile..
it’s so hard to look up when you’ve been down.
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile, so smile.

Meaningful Melody: Selena Gomez-Who Says
Who says you’re not worth it?
Who says you’re the only one that’s hurtin’?
Trust me, that’s the price of beauty
Who says you’re not pretty?
Who says you’re not beautiful?
Who says?
Who says you’re not star potential?
Who says you’re not presidential?
Who says you can’t be in movies?
Listen to me, listen to me
Who says you don’t pass the test?
Who says you can’t be the best?
Who said, who said?
Won’t you tell me who said that?
Yeah, who said?

Meaningful Melody:[Jessie J;Who You Are] “Don’t lose who you are in the blur of the stars!Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing, It’s okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it’s hard to follow your heart.
Tears don’t mean you’re losing, everybody’s bruising,
Just be true to who you are!”
