    spiritually and physically and she is as free as a bird, that too I like about her. That freedom is what 315 people hate about her and there are more out there of like minded. But freedom is to be able to say No when the rest of the world want to hear you say Yes. Such a spiritual beauty is priceless and the mentally disorganized people can never accept

Given that - the people that like this song versus those that don't - take heart - is positively reflecting Tracy's talent. I don't feel sorry for humanity for this reason but for many others. Focus on good people - ignore the bad - it will hold you in good stead and in a positive mental state :)

    Oh my mama told me
    'Cause she say she learned the hard way
    Say she want to spare the children
    She say don't give or sell your soul away
    'Cause all that you have is your soul
    Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
    Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
    Hunger only for a taste of justice
    Hunger only for a world of truth
    'Cause all that you have is your soul
    I was a pretty young girl once
    I had dreams I had high hopes
    I married a man he stole my heart away
    He gave his love but what a high price I paid
    And all that you have is your soul
    Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
    Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
    Hunger only for a taste of justice
    Hunger only for a world of truth
    'Cause all that you have is your soul
    Why was I such a young fool
    Thought I'd make history
    Making babies was the best I could do
    Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever
    Found out the hard way one can't possess another
    And all that you have is your soul
    Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
    Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
    Hunger only for a taste of justice
    Hunger only for a world of truth
    'Cause all that you have is your soul
    I thought, thought that I could find a way
    To beat the system
    To make a deal and have no debts to pay
    I'd take it all take it all I'd run away
    Me for myself first class and first rate
    But all that you have is your soul
    Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
    Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
    Hunger only for a taste of justice
    Hunger only for a world of truth
    'Cause all that you have is your soul
    Here I am I'm waiting for a better day
    A second chance
    A little luck to come my way
    A hope to dream a hope that I can sleep again
    And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
    'Cause all that you have is your soul
    Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
    Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
    Hunger only for a taste of justice
    Hunger only for a world of truth
    'Cause all that you have is your soul
    Oh my mama told me
    'Cause she say she learned the hard way
    Say she want to spare the children
    She say don't give or sell your soul away
    'Cause all that you have is your soul
    All that you have
    All that you have
    All that you have

    TRACY CHAPMAN is an indescribable gem in the musical spiritual realm. Her voice is beyond angelic, her aspect of styles are classier and her subject matters are poignant and farfetched. summarily, she is timeless.

    WOW! What an amazing song. Tracy Chapman you are a true poet. This song should be treated as a national treasure and be taught to every individual world wide. It is truly an inspiring piece of pure art and we should all take note of and live by what she has written. Perhaps all the so called leaders of this planet could learn a thing or two from this down to earth poet. l'm so glad that listening to Kerryn Fields an amazing New Zealander has brought me to this magic.🥰💖🌹

    Best part of this song is how she explained she thought having kids that would be hers forever would make her feel complete but everyone we love leaves eventually all we have is our soul. In other words, God completes us.

      While the pain is very deep I believe he is in heaven playing guitars with another brother and Jesus. He had many health problems so it is a blessing he is relieved of those. This is one of my favorite songs of all times. Thank you Tracy!!!

    One Sunday afternoon I was playing Tracy Chapman music and Mom asked for repeat of thi track. I remember her asking for it more and more until we found ourselves communicating on another level that I cannot explain. That week the song was binding us ,little did I know that she was leaving me. She died the next Sunday,having had sang and played to her. At age 50yr she passed on.
