This one has been a secular prayer for me since I was about 12, when the album dropped. There's something about the melody which just lifts you up. So it's probably to Lauryn's credit that I'm still headstrong and happy.
That said, I always thought she sang "the answer, it wasn't me" - I took it to be a song about resignation and separation, rather than unbridled self-affirmation (apparently, it's "the answer, it was in me"). Either way, it did the trick. This is definitely one of the songs that changed my life.
