Lyrics
LATITUDE
INTRO:
They say there's a light inside of each of us, that cannot be turned out
If you stay true to your convictions, then love will never let you down
You give them latitude, and the rest will surely be
You can fly them to the mountain top where their wings can be released
You give them latitude, and the space will let them know
That the feeling is forever, and there's room for you to grow, with latitude
There's a voice inside of each of us, that sometimes wants to scream
You got to be yourself in the long run, they got to love you 'cause you're the one
Who gives them latitude, and the space to let them be
You can fly them to the mountain top where their wings can be released
When you've got latitude and the space to let love in
It's where selfishness diminishes, that happiness begins
With (modulate) latitude
Don't let the darkness of this world surround you, or cast a shadow on your life
All that you need, will be received, and when the day is done, you've still got latitude
