Lyrics

Oh, How I Love Myself
by Marvin Glenn - 2020

Verse One

Lost in the fearful jungle of my mind
The sun I could not see, it did not shine.
The path I followed led me places unserene.
It seemed to me I was alone and feeling mean.
So many lies about myself I had been told.
To see the mud along way, ignore the gold.
To see myself as someone weak without a plan.
What I believed made me a shadow of a man.

Verse Two
List'ning to impressive tales my teachers told,
I soon became a slave who had been sold.
All I wanted all along was joy and peace,
To know myself and live my life in quiet ease.
I saw myself as just a victim without hope.
Tossed all around by angry thoughts, I could not cope.
Then came the day I looked deception in the face.
So now I live a gentle life of peace and grace.

Refrain
But now I love myself in spite of how I feel.
So good to love myself and live a life that's real.
I choose to stay, I choose to live. I simply want to give!
Oh, How I Love Myself and love the way I live.

Refrain 2
It’s good to love myself in spite of how I feel.
So good to love myself and live a life that’s real.
I use my time to truly live, I have so much to give!
O’ how I love myself and love the way I live.
