Lyrics Soul Quake - Cindy Alexander, Janiva Magness, Kirk Pasich

Soul Quake

It’s what we call a soul quake
The first time that your heart breaks
I can’t save you from the fall
‘Cause it happens to us all
When we’re diving in the deep end
And you don’t know where the air went
You fight to catch your breath
It gets so heavy in your chest
Looking for the white light
But the way is black as midnight
When you finally fall apart
You’ll know exactly where you are
In the middle of a Soul Quake
And why it has to happen
I don’t know
Maybe we all die a little bit
Before we grow
Closer to the real thing
The kind that makes your heart sing
Have faith that love abounds
There’s enough to go around
The world can be a mean place
So try to find a clear place
So when you finally fall apart
You’ll know exactly what you are
A survivor of a Soul Quake
And why it has to happen
I don’t know
Maybe we all die a little bit
Before we grow
But I’ll be there to ease your ego sting
And I’ll be there to hold your broken things
So shake it up Shake it up baby
Shake it up Shake it up baby now
Shake it up Shake it baby
Shake it up Shake it up baby
Shake it up Shake it up baby
Wake me up, wake me from the lazy
Shake me up and make me feel alive
From what we call a Soul Quake
The first time that your heart breaks
And the second and the third
You’ll wonder what made you deserve
To shake it off the Richter
Well try not to be bitter
Find the center where you’re safe
You won’t get more than you can take
It’s the beauty of a Soul Quake
It’s what we call a Soul Quake
