Substantial - Universal Language lyrics

[Substantial] It don't matter where you from It don't matter who you are Old or young Whether near or far It is color blind and truly without prejudice A heart is a home and it's usually the resident Anywhere you go, if it's there, it is evident Matter fact, there's no where in the world that it's never been Timeless, because it's always relevant Beautiful, but it isn't always elegant Sometimes it's simplistic and innocent Fightin' it at first but eventually you let it in It can be a thought Or, family support Once it hits you like a viral infection you're caught You wouldn't be at fault if you're spreadin' it around When it seems the troubles of the world's gettin' you down If it is sound, then it sound like this Overflowing with pa**ion ‘til you drown in bliss! Chorus: [Steph] You can... Smell it, taste it See it, touch it, embrace it. It's the... Helpin' hand and constant friend Always there, anytime or place It's so complex, yet, oh so simple Expressed through smiles and dimples Soft eyes and body language You try but you can't contain it! [Substantial] It's a four letter word A noun and a verb But it easily takes a page to define it It's clear, only the hand of God could design it Whenever my daughter reaches for me, I'm reminded Of how one that can barely speak, can express it And be a recipient of it, though you didn't request it Even in a sincere smile its suggested Often found in a pound, hug or gratitude We even put it on display through our attitude And a dose of it can even raise your altitude To find peace, that's constant elevation To help you arrive at your final destination Whether “Cloud 9” or it's heaven you seek It's a universal language so whenever you speak We can all understand ‘cause it shows in your actions To everyone you meet without knowing their reaction Chorus BRIDGE [Steph] Sometimes it's hard to find it Catch sight you can be blinded This is the power it has Built with the strength to outlast you and I. Yet Like water in your hand or Seeds sown in fertile land It's precious and we need it in our Lives to survive, survive! [Substantial] It can be physical It can be spiritual Might show up when you least expect. It's a miracle It can be the cause of regret, and why you're miserable Then again, it can make you feel invincible Metaphorically speaking and sometimes literal At times, hard to find but always visible Critical to my life, so I use it like it's medicinal Though, that isn't conventional, it is part of my ritual And I know I'm not saying anything original This might not be applicable to every individual But to falsify this feeling should be criminal It's no wonder why when it's betrayed it's unforgivable That's why we share it with those we find dependable A shoulder to lean on when life feels formidable For real, it can truly heal at its pinnacle Isn't it amazing, the power of one syllable! HOOK Worldwide and coast to coast We gonna spread it where it's needed most Y'all know what it is! Japan, Maryland to Sea Town Let's give the world what it need now Y'all know what it is! REPEAT 1X We gon' bring her back and put her above all ‘Cause who we're talking about is love y'all!
