Ask For More Lyrics – Shakira<\/h4>\n

I’d rather dance in the air
\nthan lie on the ground.
\nI’d rather my open my ears
\nthan shut out the sound.
\nTravel to the ends of the Earth
\nand tell you what I found.<\/p>\n

I rather kneel down and pray
\nthan scream at the sun.
\nPrefer to know than
\nto hide from my skeletons.
\nI don’t want to sit down and cry
\nwhile watching others run.<\/p>\n

If I missed the bus more than once,
\nI’m not the only one.
\nDon’t wanna wait around
\nfor things to come to me.
\n‘Cause when my hands are tied,
\nthey struggle to be free.
\nAnd if they steal my eyes,
\nI’ll find a new way to see.<\/p>\n

The world’s forever turning,
\nand there’s a thought that never stops burning.
\nIf I’m pounding at your door,
\nit’s because I’m here to ask for more.
\nThe world’s forever turning,
\nand there’s a thought that never stops burning.
\nIf I’m pounding at your door,
\nit’s because I’m here to ask for more.<\/p>\n

Prefer a thousand hello’s
\nto just one goodbye.
\nPrefer the pain of the truth
\nto a pretty lie.<\/p>\n

Listen to the words in my head,
\nalthough they may not rhyme.
\nListen to the voice in my heart,
\nsomedays it’s so sublime.
\nDon’t wanna wait around
\nfor things to come to me.
\n‘Cause when my hands are tied,
\nthey struggle to be free.
\nAnd if they steal my eyes,
\nI’ll find a new way to see.<\/p>\n

The world’s forever turning,
\nand there’s a thought that never stops burning.
\nIf I’m pounding at your door,
\nit’s because I’m here to ask for more.
\nThe world’s forever turning,
\nand there’s a thought that always burning.
\nIf I’m pounding at your door,
\nit’s because I’m here to ask for more.<\/p>\n

Composer: Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll<\/p>\n
