Soundtrack Q & A
Q: Does anyone have the lyrics for "Let Your Baby Go"? (from Glory in NY)
A: 
I ain't too young to know 
That life has its highs and lows 
And things won't always turn out 
Quite like how I think 
And though I have much to learn 
To weather the twists and turns 
I know that I'm capable 
To deal with what life brings me 


I'm strong, I'm ready to be on my own 
Let me spread my wings, let me go 
Don't hold so tight 
Cause I can fly alone 

I need you to trust me 
Have faith and let me make it on my own 
Please let me, your baby, go 

You've given me courage to be a person of ability 
You've been my example 
I've been blessed to have you 

But your faith is strong {But I know you can see in me} 
I can't stand alone {I can stand on my own two feet} 
Don't be afraid to send me {don't you be afraid to send me safely} 
I need you to believe in me 

I'm strong I'm ready to be on my own 
Let me spread my wings, let me go 
Don't hold so tight 
Cause I can fly alone 

I need you to trust me 
Have faith and let me make it on my own 
Please let me, your baby, go 

You gave me 
Everything 
Now I won't look back 

And I know that I will always have you 
To lean on when i need to 

Let me spread my wings let me go 
Don't hold on so tight 
Cause you know that I can fly alone 

I need you to trust me 
Have faith and let me make it on my own 
Please let me, your baby, go 

Please let me, your baby, go

Q: Does anyone have the lyrics to "Definition of Love" by Deborah Cox? (from spiffy in Boydton VA.)
A: 
"Definition of True Love"

Write it down a thousand times
four-letter word that makes me cry ,
how I feel about it I can't decide
No I don't know, so I'll improvise,
Is it living in our heart?Or in our mind, I don't know.
So world ready or not, 
here I go, searching for the answer, 
And I'm not gonna stop, 
till I find where it lingers inside me, How does it come to be?
What should it mean to me?
Teach me the definition of true love.

(vocalizing)

I was so afraid I'd never succeed
But you made me feel I could do anything
Memorize the things we would say and do
Must be the love and strength that I found in you
Is it living in our heart?
Or in our mind,
I don't know
So world ready , or not
Ooh ,Here I go
searching for the answer
and I'm not gonna stop
Till I find
Where it lives inside me

How does it come to be?
what should it mean to me?
Teach me the definition of true love
Love only feels so good
True love always believes
And it gives way the boundaries,
Willing to sacrifice
unconditionally
So world ready , or not
Ooh ,Here I go
searching for the answer
and I'm not gonna stop
Till I find
Where it lives inside me

How does it come to be?
what should it mean to me?
Teach me the definition of true love

Chorus repeated

How does it come to be?..........How does it come to be?
what should it mean to me?........what should it mean to me?
Teach me the definition of true love.

Q: During the closing credits, there was a song with the words "...What have you done today to make yourself proud..." Where can I find this song? (from Gordon Meredith in San Diego, CA )
A: 
I look into the window of my mind
Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind
I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

Still so many answers I don't know
Realise that to question is how we grow
So I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

We need a change
Do it today
I can feel my spirit rising
We need a change
So do it today
'Cause I can see a clear horizon

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
'Cause you could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today
You could be so many people?
Just make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?

Q: WHY is the song "Definition of Love" by Deborah Cox not on the soundtrack? It's the best song in the movie. And why are the music credits so small on the screen? (I have a big screen, so that is not the problem.) The songwriters and artists deserve better than that, and it's annoying to people who want to find out the name of a song and/or which artist performed the song, etc. I had to Google several things before I stumbled upon the correct name of the song and who sang it. Thanks in advance for answering this!
