Darkness no longer, a child is born
Mother shed tears of joy as baby test his lungs My daddy's not there where he ought to be Somewhere in Georgia, skinning and shooting craps on his knees Another victim born out here in the hood And based on statistics it really ain't all good Welfare takes the tab and daddy can't sign And it can't be seen, the family becomes a crime The hunt is on and brother you're the prey Serving time in jail, it just ain't the way I'm living so hard, baby, that my hair is gray We got to make a change, it's a brand new day A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race Operation influx and it's on the way We've just marched a million plus the other day Look we all witnessed the sweat rolling down Ms Liberty's head She knows the sleeping giant is no longer sleeping dead Oh, what a fulfillment of prophecy Let us teach the children freedom's never been free It's okay to cry, go ahead and cry 'Cause Jesus wept but hope and faith he kept It's a new day A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race The die has been cast and there's no need to fear 'Cause people, the answer to your prayers are here Sister Mary don't you weep, tell Martha not to moan We need the love and daddy's coming home There's no need to worry, the times dictate a plan Mother Earth's given birth to a brand new man Sister I know you're misunderstood But hold on to your man 'cause the future looks good It's a new day A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race Beware of the lies and false prophecies We are many with eyes but don't all really see You must be merciful my friend to obtain the same So if you break the chain don't pass the blame We should say unto all and I'll say it again It's not just to win, shake a hand, make a friend We who are pure at heart somehow might see There's still light in the world, come rejoice with me It's a new day A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race It's a new day, it's a new day It's a new day, it's a new day It's a new day Yes, Lord, it's a brand new day |

Now it's always the right time
With something positive in your mind There's always someone to pull you down You just get back up and hold your ground. If there's ever something bad you don't wanna see Just keep on walking and let it be. I don't wanna hear 'bout all that's bad 'Cause all that's bad just makes me sad So every little once in a while Show some love and make me smile Cry sometimes with tears of joy Sure would help now where they fall. Summer, winter, or just cold Through the rain and through the snow Let's get on back to livin' again, right on Just get on back to livin' again Get on back, get on back. Wherever life takes me I don't know, hey Just give me a truth and let me grow, ooh I have these feelings in myself, hey I am sure there must be someone else. Shootin' guns in prison life Is that what you want, well, Jesus Christ? It's best for you to get back on track There ain't no need in lookin' back, don't look back So you're tryin' hard, well try again Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win Just remember by and by, just remember It's best to keep a lateral high. So summer, winter, or just cold Through the rain and through the snow Let's get on back to livin' again, right on Just get on back to livin' again Get on back, get on back. If you're feelin' inferior, hey Make yourself superior If you practice, baby, all the time, No one can think what's on your mind. Tossin' and fightin' all the time. Do you really want some peace of mind? Remember back as a little kid? There was so much fun in what we did! Summer, winter, or just cold Through the rain and through the snow Let's get on back to livin' again, right on Just get on back to livin' again Get on back, get on back. Let's get on back to livin' again, right on Just get on back to livin' again Get on back, get on back. Let's get on back to livin' again, right on Just get on back to livin' again Get on back, get on back. Let's get on back to livin' again, right on Go ahead Mayfield |

How did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone Porched up in a rocking-chair With my feet all bare Rolling my blunt in a cigar wrap Live an adolescent mind Never do take the time Waiting for my high, quiet as it's kept How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone Mama told me I was best Argue and punch in the chest Son, now be strong, let me take you home I'd see in her eyes so sincere Screaming, what got me here Standing in the world with my mind all blown How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone I do nothing but waste all my time Leaving the world behind Smoking my crack just to keep me high Around the boys I play my part rough Keep myself tough enough Never to cry, don't really wanna die How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone |

Let's not forget though trying times there are
We have not lost the war, by far Still work to be done and as the old hymn says "We all can overcome" Let's not forget the sunrise in the sky The love and wonders why, you don't do or die But at best you try Don't let life pass you by Do what you do when you're feeling free You can be what you want to be Open your mind and you can see Baby, let's not forget this love is all we need Kiss me once and maybe kiss me twice Sweetens the spice of life my child Just give me a smile It is your big world to make it all worthwhile Let's not forget advice on love today I'm really not so wise this way So what do you say, two loving human beings Just trying to make a way Do what you do when you're feeling free, my baby You can be what you want to be, right now Open your mind and you can see, alright Baby, let's not forget this love is all we need My baby, my baby, my baby Do what you do when you're feeling free You can be what you want to be Open your mind and you can see Baby, let's not forget this love is all we need Do what you do when you're feeling free, my baby You can be what you want to be, right now Open your mind and you can see, alright Baby, let's not forget this love is all we need Do what you do when you're feeling free, my baby You can be what you want to be, right now |
