Savior Self by Cree Summer

Life ain’t everything you dream.

Time changes, nothing really lasts…

Ain’t nobody gonna save you – save yourself

And your Mama, she can’t save you

Save yourself

You want someone to “make you”

Make yourself

Every time you fall

Somebody’s there

You never had to learn to save yourself because somebody was there


You never learned the hero within

You never were your own best friend

Because somebody was always there

You thought they were there to save you

They really came to enslave you


Ain’t nobody gonna save you

Save yourself.


I realized you could never be the family of my dreams

So I saved myself.

The tree grows from the seed

Within yourself is all you need

We are born alone

We will die alone

We will face judgment alone

Bare and forlorn before throne

Lonely is the road that leads to life

Popular is the road that leads to destruction


Ain’t nobody gonna save you – save yourself.

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Before you were formed, I gave you the ability to save yourself, to protect yourself, to walk with Wisdom every day of your life in peace.

Jeremiah 1
