Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle I know the taste of victory Though I went through some nights Consumed by the shadows I was crippled emotionally Somehow I made it through the heartache Yes I did, I escaped I found my way out of the darkness I kept my faith (I know you did), kept my faith [Chorus] When the river was deep I didn't falter When the mountain was high I still believed When the valley was low it didn't stop me, no no I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me With an endless desire I kept on searching Sure in time our eyes would meet Like the bridge is on fire The hurt is over, one touch and you set me free I don't regret a single moment, no I don't looking hack When I think of all those disappointments I just laugh (I know you do), I just laugh [Chorus] So we were drawn together through destiny I know this love we shared was meant to be I knew you were waiting, I, I knew you were waiting I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting for me I did not falter when the mountain was high I still believed when the valley was low It did not stop me I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me When the mountain was high, knew you were waiting When the valley was low, I knew it baby, I knew it baby I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting Knew you were waiting for me I cant not falter, when the mountain was high I still believed when the valley was low It did not stop me Cause I knew you were waiting Knew you were waiting for me When the mountain was high When the valley was low... |

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain`t so pretty His parents give him love and affection To keep him strong moving in the right direction Living just enough, just enough for the city... His father works some days for fourteen hours And you can bet he barely makes a dollar His mother goes to scrub the floor for many And you`d best believe she hardly gets a penny Living just enough, just enough for the city... His sister`s black but she is sho `nuff pretty Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy To walk to school she`s got to get up early Her clothes are old but never are they dirty Living just enough, just enough for the city... Her brother`s smart he`s got more sense than many His patience`s long but soon he won`t have any To find a job is like a haystack needle Cause where he lives they don`t use colored people Living just enough, just enough for the city... His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty He spends his love walking the streets of New York City He`s almost dead from breathing on air pollution He tried to vote but to him there`s no solution Living just enough, just enough for the city... I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow This place is cruel no where could be much colder If we don`t change the world will soon be over Living just enough, just enough for the city! Living For The City ~ |

Thinking back over my years I guess I shedded some tears
Told myself time and time again 'This time I'm gonna win' But in every fight things ain't right, losin' again Takes a fool to lose twice, start all over again [Chorus] Think I'd better let it go Looks like another love T.K.O. Think I'd better let it go Looks like another love T.K.O. Tried to take control of love, love took control of me Cause you lose all thought, sense of time and have a change of mind Takin' the bumps and the bruises of all the things of a two-time loser Try to hold on, faith is gone, it's just another sad song [Chorus: x2] Tried to take control of the love, love took control of me Cause you lose all thought, sense of time and have a change of mind Takin' the bumps and the bruises of all the things of a two-time loser Try to hold on, the faith is gone, it's just another sad song [Chorus: x4] |

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet Walk on by, walk on by Foolish pride Is all that I have left So let me hide The tears and the sadness you gave me When you said goodbye Walk on by And walk on by And walk by I just can't get over losing you And so if I seem broken and blue Walk on by, walk on by Make believe That you don't see the tears Just let me grieve In private 'cause each time I see you I break down and cry Walk on by Walk on by Walk on by Walk on by Walk on by Walk on by Walk on by Walk on by Walk on by Make believe That you don't see the tears Just let me grieve In private 'cause each time I see you I break down and cry Walk on by Walk on by Walk on by Walk on by Walk on by Walk on by |

Oooo
No, no, no, no No flowers where there used to be Just on the table there Just like you they're gone And now the table's bare Everywhere I turn I see Memories of a love so strong This lonely room just echoes Telling me you're gone [Chorus: ] It's not over yet Each night in my dreams You're back in my arms Still here in my arms Like you used to be But each morning I awake And I face reality I'm still not over you Getting over me A foolish heart, like mine Will always take for granted That precious love like yours Will wait till I come back But too many times I turned away Leaving you to cry alone But with every tear I'm learning All the ways that I was wrong [Chorus:] I'm still not over you And I'll never be I'm still not over you Getting over me |

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long For once unafraid I can go where life leads me And somehow I know I'll be strong For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of Long before I knew Someone warm like you Could make my dreams come true For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me Not like it's hurt me before For once I've got someone I know won't desert me I'm not alone anymore For once I can say: "this is mine you can't take it" As long as I've got love I know I can make it For once in my life I've got someone who needs me Someone who needs me, someone who needs me For once in my life For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me Not like it's hurt me before For once I've got someone I know won't desert me I'm not alone anymore Now, for once I can say: "this is mine you can't take it" As long as I've got love I know I can make it For once in my life I've got someone who needs me For once in my life, someone who needs me For once in my life, someone who needs me For once in my life, someone who needs me [x4] Someone who needs me For once in my life, someone who needs me |

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic Hark, now hear the sailors cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it I don't have to fear it Cause I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old Then magnificently we will flow into the mystic Come on girl Can you hear it Come on girl Into the mystic And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home And when that fog horn blows I got to hear it I don't have to fear it I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And together we will flow into the mystic I want to hear it You don't have to fear it I want to rock your gypsy soul Come on girl... Hear the sailors cry Into the mystic |

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her She tied you To a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah [Chorus] You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light In every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah [Chorus] I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though It all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah [Chorus: x4] Hallelujah |

Who knows your secret, deep inside
Who got your trust, in exchange for lies Then threw it away baby, threw it away baby Heaven for heart ache, love for lust Search for redemption, here in the dust Where love has no fire baby And the kindest moment, with nothing better to do You can forget it, you still have something to lose [Chorus] Ain't no lie good enough, to hide the truth from yourself It pays to see it coming, learn to recognize The enemy within baby, Enemy within baby No better lesson to be learned, reachin the point of no return When love turns to shame baby, your hoping it's different, next time Your always drawn in, like a moth to the fire, time an again baby And the kindest moment, with nothing better to do We can forget, we still got something to lose [Chorus] Oh you say you'll know better, I know you won't, stop lying to yourself Before you lose all hope, learn to know the difference, learn to recognize The enemy with in baby, enemy within baby Stop lying to yourself baby, stop lying to yourself baby [Chorus] Oh you say you'll know better, but I know you won't, stop lying to yourself Before you lose all hope, learn to see the difference, learn to recognize The enemy with in baby, enemy within baby |

She didn`t bat an eye
As I packed my bags to leave I thought she would start to cry Or sit around my room and grieve But y`all, the girl, she fooled me this time She acted like I was the last thing on her mind I would like to start all over again Baby, can I change my mind I just wanna change my mind Baby, let me change my mind As I took those steps Toward that open door Knowing all the time Oh, Lord, I just didn`t wanna go But she didn`t give me no sign Nothing that would make me change my mind I would like to start all over again Baby, can I change my mind I just wanna change my mind Baby, can I change my mind Oh, I played my games So Many times before But peoples, let me tell y`all Oh, everytime I never reached the door But ooh, the winds howl tonight I keep lookin` back but my baby`s nowhere in sight I would like to start all over again Baby, can I change my mind I just wanna change my mind Baby, can I change my mind I just wanna change my mind Baby, let me change my mind I just wanna change my mind |

Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships, Minutes after they took I From the bottomless pit. But my hand was made strong By the hand of the Almighty. They flourish in this generation Triumphantly. [Chorus] Won't you help to sing These songs of freedom? 'Cause all I ever have Redemption songs Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our minds Have no fear for atomic power, 'Cause none of them can stop the time How long shall they kill our prophets, While we stand aside and look? Some say it's just a part of it We've got to fulfill the book. [Chorus: x2] All I we have Redemption songs All I we have Redemption songs All I we have Redemption songs Re-redemption songs Redemption songs |

You give your hand to me then you say, 'Hello'
I can hardly speak, my heart is beating so Oh, anyone who can tell, you think you know me well You don't know me 'cause you don't know Dreams of you at night who longs to kiss your lips Longs to hold you tight, to you I'm just a friend That's all I've ever been, you don't know me 'Cause I never knew the art of making love Though my heart aches with love for you Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by Chance that you might love me too You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye I watch you walk away, wish I'm that lucky guy You'll never, never know the one who loves you so You don't know me, no, no, no, you don't know me |
