Melissa Etheridge - Prelude To Love Will Live Lyrics
Official




(Okay) now here's a song
That uh, I wrote back in 2016
Yeah, back when, uh, huh
There was finally some light being shown
On the trauma that women go through, so often
The light was being shined on how sometimes the-
Game isn't quite played as fair for us women, y'know?
Yea-yes, y'know? And uh
Once again, I-I would never compare my experience with yours
I know we have so many different types of experiences
Here, in the courtyard today

But, um, if you've known abuse, if you've known trauma
Uh, I've-, I've known a little myself, and so I do understand it
And I do understand how you can carry it with you
But there finally came a time in 2016
That women all over the world was like
"Y'know? No, I'm not going to carry this alone anymore
I'm gonna let it be known, y'know, me too, that's right"

But let it be known, because man
That stuff turns into poison inside of you
Y'know? It's like-, y'know its like drinkin' poison
And hoping someone else would die, y'know, huh
When you have that sort of resentment, so
Once again I wrote a song
T-to kinda put it out there
That if maybe is someone could, y'know, take this song to heart

It's about-, it's about havin' your own love right here
About lovin' yourself and lettin' all that other stuff go
And knowing that no matter what has ever happened to you
That your love will live
