If I were only a child again
No one's ever been, oh, good to me since then Everywhere I looked it seemed so color bright There were never such things to me as black and white Remember when we were part of that special few Everything it seemed was so pure and true I guess we were just too young to understand The unselfish cause of death and war and roles of man Only, only, only a child Only, only, only a child Only, only, only a child Only a child again, hey, hey If I were only a child again I would never want to venture life like this again People of the world hurling sticks and stones Like the sore fates of one come up and break my bones Only, only, only a child If I were only a child again And have the ability to understand I'd speak for little people from the date of birth And ask the grown ups, when will there be peace on earth? Grown ups, when will there be peace on earth? Brother, when will there be peace on earth? Only, only, only a child Only, only, only a child Only, only, only a child Only a child again, hey, hey |

Just out of Monday
Run into a friend Down the street, down the street Where I live Ah! Ah! Sad things begin I could feel from within From the message From the message He had to give 'Bout a buddy of mine Running out of time His life's running out of time Somebody past noon Shot across the room And now the man no longer lives Too bad about him Too sad about him Don't get me wrong The man is gone But it's a wonder he lived this long Up in the city they called him Boss Jack But down home he was a alley cat Ah! didn't care nothing about being black Ah! Billy Jack Can't be no fun Can't be no fun To be shot, shot with a hand gun Body sprawled out, you without a doubt Running people out, there on the floor Ah! Ah! Bad bloody bloody mess Shot all up in his chest Shot all up in his chest One sided duel, gun and a fool What a way to go Up in the city they called him Boss Jack But down home he was a alley cat Ah! Didn't care nothin' bout being Black Ah, Ah, Billy Jack Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! |

Darkest of night
With the moon shining bright There's a set goin' strong Lotta things goin' on The man of the hour Has an air of great power The dudes have envied him for so long Oooh, Superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by But if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is Do or Die Ah-ha-ha Hard to understand What a hell of a man This cat of the slum Had a mind, wasn't dumb But a weakness was shown 'Cause his hustle was wrong His mind was his own But the man lived alone Oooh, Superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by But if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is Do or Die Ah-ha-ha The game he plays he plays for keeps Hustlin' times and ghetto streets Tryin' ta get over (That's what he tryin' to do, y'all) Taking all that he can take Gambling with the odds of fate Tryin' ta get over (4x) Woo, Superfly... The aim of his role Was to move a lot of blow Ask him his dream What does it mean? He wouldn't know "Can't be like the rest" Is the most he'll confess But the time's running out And there's no happiness Oooh, Superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by But if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is Do or Die Ah-ha-ha Superfly (4x) "Tryin' ta get over..." (9x) |

We people who are darker than blue
Are we gonna stand around this town And let what others say come true? We're just good for nothing they all figure A boyish, grown up, shiftless jigger Now we can't hardly stand for that Or is that really where it's at? We people who are darker than blue This ain't no time for segregatin' I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow two High yellow girl, can't you tell You're just the surface of our dark deep well If your mind could really see You'd know your color the same as me Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story Get yourself together, learn to know your side Shall we commit our own genocide Before you check out your mind? I know we've all got problems That's why I'm here to say Keep peace with me and I with you Let me love in my own way Now I know we have great respect For the sister, and mother it's even better yet But there's the joker in the street Loving one brother and killing the other When the time comes and we are really free There'll be no brothers left you see We people who are darker than blue Don't let us hang around this town And let what others say come true We're just good for nothing they all figure A boyish, grown up, shiftless jigger Now we can't hardly stand for that Or is that really where it's at? Pardon me, brother, while you stand in your glory I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story Pardon me, brother, I know we've come a long, long way But let us not be so satisfied for tomorrow can be an An even brighter day |

Everybody gather round and listen to my song
I've only got one We who are young, should now take a stand Don't run from the burdens of women and men Continue to give, continue to live For what you know is right Most of your life can be out of sight Withdraw from the darkness and look to the light Where everyone's free At least that's the way it's supposed to be We just keep on keeping on We just keep on keeping on Many think that we have blown it But they too will soon admit That there's still a lot of love among us And there's still a lot of faith and warmth and trust When we keep on keeping on Before we dismiss, one thing I insist When you have your young, remember this song And our world surroundings, its leaps and bounds Ups and downs, is reality Teach them to be strong, and when they are grown They can proudly imply that we were an alright guy For all the wrong now is right This nation's people are now united as one And we just keep on keeping on We just keep on keeping on Many think that we have blown it But they too will soon admit That there's still a lot of love among us And there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust When we keep on keeping on Keep on keeping on, ya'll Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on Keep on, keeping on (Keep on, keeping on) We got to move on up, ya'll (We got to move on up) Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on Some years back I remember Still in my mind so well My mama made this [Incomprehensible] And I found it never fails Never worry too long (Worry too long) About what goes on (About what goes on) Today it's sorrow (Today it's sorrow) Look like joy tomorrow (Look like joy tomorrow) Keep on keeping on (Keep on keeping on) Keep on, keep on (Keep on, keep on) We just keep on keeping on We just keep on keeping on Many think that we have blown it But they too will soon admit That there's still a lot of love among us And there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust When we keep on keeping on Ooh ooh ooh ooh (Ooh ooh ooh ooh) We're gonna move on up (We're gonna move on up) Keep on keeping on (Keep on keeping on) Move on, move now (Move on, move now) Keep on keeping on (Keep on keeping on) |

The two of us are somewhat leery About the happiness We both set out to posses We've got all the comforts of life A few kids and you are my wife And I tell it like it is I must confess I'm gonna have to give it up I'm gonna have to give it up All concern and the trusts that never happened with us The walk of embraces and the love of our faces It never happened you see and I'm so sorry I really truly love you And the kids you must agree And I never had too much Concern or interest in astrology But as I read it must be so The invulnerable word incompatible No matter how much we try Our indifference but still show Now we've got give it up I'm gonna have to give it up All concern and the trusts that never happened with us The walk of embraces and the love of our faces It never happened you see and I'm so sorry Now we've got give it up, ooh child I've got to have to give it up Lord, have mercy Now I've got give it up, ooh I've got to give it up All concern and the trusts that never happened with us The walk of embraces and the love of our faces It never happened you see and I'm so sorry But now we've got to give it up What am I do? Child, we've got to give it up I'll be so lonely without you But now I've got to give it up Lord, forgive me, ooh I've got to give it up, ooh Now I've got to give it up Lord, I have to give it up |
