Treat Myself - Lyrics to Inspire

Treat Myself

Music - Stevie Wonder; Lyrics - Stephanie Andrews

There’s a place I can go
When the tension’s high and I’m feeling low
In a flash I can be in another space
As a different me, have a new id.

I think I’ll treat myself to all the pretty places in my head
Yes, I’m going to treat myself to all the pretty places in my head

There’s no rich, there’s no poor
Everything is love, no such word as “war”
There’s no black and no white
Rainbow colours they, dress the days and nights,
Life’s a paradise

I think I’ll treat myself to all the pretty places in my head
Yes, I’m going to treat myself to all the pretty places in my head

It’s amazing how the mind
Can do what you want it to
It can take you to a time
Where you’ll want to stay forever
Feeling everlasting pleasure

If your life’s in a place
That you can hardly bear
Come along with me to mental ecstasy

I think I’ll treat myself to all the pretty places in my head
Yes, I’m going to treat myself to all the pretty places in my head

Whatsoever things are lovely
Whatsoever things are pure
Whatsoever things are honest
Whatsoever things are true

"I loved the lyrics to Treat Myself so much," Galba Bright shares, "that I had them pinned on my office wall when I was a consultant to the Government of Jamaica. I used to meditate on them in the sauna when I was planning my relocation to Jamaica. In my humble opinion the words are truly transformative."

Galba offered the deeply moving message in Treat Myself for A Global Poem In Praise of Peace initiated by Thomas Warfield

Thanks, Galba!
