The Neville Brothers

Over Kilimanjaro, she guards her young
Speaks to the darkness in the mother tongue
She waits and she watches all night long
Calls to her lover then she sings this song

I will be there for you whatever comes
I am as constant as the beat of a drum
My love is stronger than the noon-day sun
Over Africa
Over Africa

It's a force of nature, it's the power of need
It'll heal your baby, then make you bleed
I will be patient, I will bide my time
I will be waiting like a mama lion, mama lion

I will be there for you whatever comes
I am as constant as the beat of a drum
My love is stronger than the noon-day sun
Over Africa
Over Africa
Over Africa

See that love and money
Between quiet and sin
We are just wild things
Underneath the skin
In the cradle of creation
We were made this way
Run together
To our dying day
(change rope)

(Spoken)
It's the law of the jungle
It's the angst in trees
Built by your census baby
Die by the tomb
I'd walk through fire
I would swim the seas
As long as I live and breathe
You belong to me

I will be there for you whatever comes
I am as constant as the beat of a drum
My love is stronger than the noon-day sun
Over Africa
Over Africa

For everything there's a reason
We don't always need to know, yeah
We fear the light of those that leave us
The ones that burn twice as bright
Or the ones we love twice as much
We miss the most, yeah

And there's a little piece of heaven
Just waiting for you to come home
I know, there's a little piece of heaven
Just waiting for you to come home
I know, someday you will

'Coz life is short, gotta do your own thing
Seems the higher that we fly
The more the people try and bring you down, yeah
Oh, sometimes you love, sometimes you hate
Sometimes you know, sometimes you break
You fall down and make mistakes and then fear God

And there's a little piece of heaven
Just waiting for you to come home
I know, there's a little piece of heaven
Just waiting for you to come home
I know, someday you will

Little piece of heaven, shining like the night
No matter what you do, always by your side

And there's a little piece of heaven
Just waiting for you to come home
I know, someday you will, someday, be there
Someday you will be there, I know, you will

There's a little piece of heaven, shining in the night
No matter what you do, it?s always by your side
There's little piece of heaven, shining like the night
No matter what you do, it's always by your side

Everything, there's a reason
We don't always need to know, yeah

But there's a little piece of heaven
Just waiting for you to come home
I know, there's a little piece of heaven
Just waiting for you to come home
I know, someday you will

Little piece of heaven, shining like the night
No matter what you do, always by your side

And there's a little piece of heaven
Just waiting for you to come home
I know, someday you will, someday you will

Goodbye is not a lover's word
It's something I could never say to you
Even though you tell me, tell me you are leaving
My heart can't believe it's true, oh no, oh no

I'll just say until we meet again
I'll just say until we meet again

I remember all the things we shared
The loving looks that we once knew
Babe, your eyes began to feel like they'll start crying
My memories will see me through, see me through

I'll just say until we meet again
I'll just say until we meet again

Although you leave my arms you'll never leave my soul
The love that I have for you within never grow cool
'Cause in the morning light and in the dark of night
Your fire will always burn in my soul

I'll just say until we meet again
Oh, darlin' I, I'll just say until we meet again
Oh, my love for you will never never grow cold
No, my love for you will never leave my soul

I'll just say until we meet again
Oh, I'll just say until we meet again
I'll just say until we meet again
I'll just say until we meet again

Cards on the table and they facin' down
We all got a hand to play, ain't no backin' down
Aces up your sleeve, they ain't gonna do you no good
But the joker's still in play and it just might come your way

Listen to me, don't you hear what I say'
Can't you hear what I say, can't you hear what I say?
Listen to me, don't you hear what I say'
We're lookin' at the Judgment Day

I was holdin' a 10 of diamonds but I wanted a ace
People all around the world goin' through changes
Look me straight in my face
Said I just called to show you, some people never satisfied
Wanna trade hands with me little brother
See if you can stay alive?

Listen to me, don't you hear what I say'
Can't you hear what I say, can't you hear what I say?
Listen to me, don't you hear what I say'
We're lookin' at the judgment day

[Incomprehensible] brothers and sisters
Can they mess 'em around
Pullin' the wool over their eyes
But the Dealer, we can't fool 'coz He put the cards into play
And He know what me and you are holdin' all the time

Listen to me, don't you hear what I say'
Can't you hear what I say, can't you hear what I say?
Listen to me, don't you hear what I say
'Coz we're lookin' at the Judgment Day comin' down

featuring Neville Brothers

(Introduction)
Yo Mona Lisa, could I get a date on Friday and if your busy, I
wouldn't mind taking Saturday.

(Wyclef Talking)
Right about now, if you are in your jeep. Please turn up your radio.
If you don't have a Jeep, and you have a little hooptie I still want
you to crank up your volume.
We want all the ladies to sit back, relax, let your hair out.
Wyclef presents the Neville Brothers in the house tonight.

(Neville's Singing)
I know a girl, she ruled my world.
Whatever I need, she supplied.
Living in paradise.
She ruled my heart, till death do we part.
(Her love was like esctasy)

*Chorus*
Atleast that's how I thought it would be.
(So Neville brothers what you telling me)
Atleast that how I thought it would be
(One question, what was her name)
Mona Lisa, you called my name.
Laid it apart but I did not respond
And you ask me what I am thinking of
In the morning I'll be gone, no more loving after dawn.
No longer we can share the love that was never there.
When the moon has lost its light.
And the stars no longer bright
And no longer can we share, the love that was never there.
(Ain't no need to cry girl. Its gonna be alright)

Girl don't you cry.
(Girl don't you cry)
Please dry your eyes
All you ever been was faithful in my life.
So I apologize
I hope the future brings us back together.
Atleast that's how I thought it would be.
Atleast that's how I thought it would be.
(Yo, neville brothers. What was her name)

*Repeat Chorus*

(Wyclef speaking)
Right about now if you are in dance, I want you to hold your girl
real tight. We got the neville brothers in the house tonight. Along
side Wyclef, you know how we do it. I want to apologize to you. I
never wrote a love song. This is my first one.
