FUNK, FIRE, AND FRICTION Sarah Nutting Take the Funk and the Fire and Friction Transform it all in me I am my own magician Making magic with my heartbeat I see beauty all around me I am blessed with all of this I know pain and I know suffering Human I am Refrain: I'm lovin' this life, lovin' this life as it is Lovin' this life, lovin' this life as it is I'm lovin' this life, lovin' this life as it is Receive the fullness, give what's mine to give Receive the fullness, give what's mine to give Breathe me open, I am open Season me with time Pure devotion moves through me A heart present and kind And one day at a time is all that I can live I'm learnin' as I go, growin' each moment [Refrain] I will move with my own conviction Let spirit take my hands I'm on an interstellar mission To love who I am So let the Funk, the Funk come find me In all my resistance I will not turn away No, I will get down and dance [Refrain] Take the Funk and the Fire and Friction Transform it all in me I am my own magician Making magic with my heartbeat . . .
