If I have my way
If I ever, they'll sanctify it
If I have my way
I'll tear this building down
No I could invent a scene
Light it up for good
Build around the truth and keep it secret
Made excuses all my life
'Til I just believed it

Believe it, believe that a

All it's broaching, all is broaching, all it's broaching
Said God it's working
All is searching, all is searching
Said never been so sad, said never been so sad
Fade away, I realm to said this away
I'll be there falling, I'll be there falling
That seems I'll do it that

I just want to believe in something
I don't care if right or wrong
I just want to believe in something
I cannot make it on my own

Listen
Born to nothing
All the people put you down, boy
Won't you take me
Don't nobody want you around, boy

And the only reaso

Well as of right now, I am feeling
Like packing up my things, and leaving
By the evening
I will be long gone

Two coats of heavy paint, Won't hide
The rows of rotting wood, you know this city's dying
And by the evening
I will be long gone

And if you're looking

And I don't need to carry
All the things I've done wrong
All the things I've done right
Look at the man you see now
Hasn't always been strong
Hasn't always been bright

I'm just asking for order (oh)
Begging for wisdom
Pleading for something
To alleviate all

You get them curse and you give them chills
Last time I saw you, you seen me
But you kept that scar, you kept that bruise
You had it all, you just had to chill

She don't mind the world when calling
And she ain't looking down the road
And she don't mind the loneliness

Crosses and
Ask you to don't worry
But the hills and the river
With the sun on the back

I've been thinkin' about love
How nuts to be to think about it?
There's a mother and her daughter that's gone
It's the daughter that needs now crying

Oh, baby rest your hea

You told me that the world is full of sinners
And placed a bible at my feet
I could hardly understand you
I had just learned to chew my meat
I heard that you were calling on The Lord
Asking for answers, for some relief
Heard that you were calling out my name, my name

It’s a lonely walk
With a load like that my girl
You ain’t seen no love since that man walked out your door

Harder, still
You think you can’t tell no one
You’re God died back in ‘94
With a needle, with a needle and a gun

Caught your leg on a branch from a willow t

Worried nation, what have we done?
One invasion
Left your knees drowning in the water
As the seas, rising in these times, overflowing
And ya begging for mercy
Retaliation

Don't say I never told ya
Shame of the nation
Kids never growing older
Retaliation

It’s the same problems that I had before
I know things have been hurried
Since I came through your door
It’s the same questions that I had before
Can I just make it easy?
Can I run anymore?

Maybe all I need is a little motivation
If I want it, I can have it
If I

Happiness haven't we been through this
If I tell you that I love you will you
Just stop crying
Some people take advantage
But I know sometimes you don't mind
Freshen up, I see her in the party
Just stay a little longer and at
Least you're smiling

The perk of get

Excuse me sister
Thought I heard you call my name
Though we share the same mother
I know things ain’t been the same

When the fiends of the world are calling
Will you be my friend, my friend, my friend

And it’s hard to see you dying
When I’m feeling so alive

No more waking up with a "what-was-I-thinking"
Mahalia's singing how she got over
You could have it all if you just try harder
Make it to the end without going under

I've been here before
Though I don't like to say it, it's usual problem
When'd you become such a faithle

So I start selfish
On my own
I'll be damned if I don't get what I want
Take it now while I
Have the chance right now
I can only think for one

It's right on you, right on you, right on you
It's right on you, yeah
It's right on you
Yeah, it's right on you

At the top of the hour
Today in the news
A little girl is shot down
While tying her shoes

Honestly
How can I be bother now?
To tell you the truth
I ain't been sleepin' too well

Although our parents
Fought to be equals
The state decides true love
If

Down and listen to the radio if I our last song will disappear
I will hide these tears and I'm ready, give me something hat I can doubt
Do you screaming? Did it sound like I am spoken
From the day I will rise upon
And you know that I will hide my hands
Until the rain my body

Isolation, isolation, isolation
The slow drag under
Hard to beat them, hard to beat those days
Hard to see the, to see the world inside my cage

And everyone start to leave you
And if you don't change now
You won't make it too much longer
Plant your feet on the groun

I'm afraid that I'm gonna hurt you, Mary
Drag you down into the mud
In my head, they're takin' bets on the day
When you say you've had enough

And my problem isn't all my baggage
But how I let it get to me
Having trouble tryin' to accept the
Fact that someone could l

Where I'm going, I'll go in
Where I'm going, I never know

Into the fire, half heart, you appoint me lover
With a cord around your neck can I ever love her?
Try your best to just stay sane
I try to placate with no shame
