Walk blindly to the light and reach out for his hand
Don't ask any questions and don't try to understand Open up your mind and then open up your heart And you will see that you and me aren't very far apart 'Cause I believe that love is the answer I believe that love will find the way Violence is spread worldwide and there are families on the street And we sell drugs to children now oh why can't we just see That all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today Money is our incentive now so that makes it okay But I believe that love is the answer I believe that love will find the way I believe that love is the answer I believe that love will find the way I've been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year She said she's never been so happy but Lisa lives in fear That one day daddy's gonna find out she's in love With a nigger from the streets Oh how he would lose it then but she's still here with me 'Cause she believes that love will see it through And one day he'll understand And he'll see me as a person not just a black man 'Cause I believe that love is the answer I believe that love will find the way I believe I believe I believe I believe that love is the answer I believe that love will find the way Love will find the way Love will find the way Love will find the way Please love find the way Please love find the way |

So you're scared to show your feelings
Baby I do understand Well I don't make a promise I can't keep And I vow to be a real good friend In those big green eyes I see a glow of love I just hope I'm the one you're dreaming of Let me be the one to love you Let me be the one to care Let me be the one to light your flame Oh baby Oh baby Let me be the one We spend all our time together We can't stand to sleep alone When you say you have to leave for now I miss you before you're gone All along we thought this was absurd (absurd) Every moment we spend goes by too fast Darling Darling take this chance with me Cause I have eyes only for you Oh baby Let me be the one to love you Let me be the one to care Let me be the one to light your flame Oh baby Oh baby Let me be the one Let me be the one to love you Let me be the one to care Let me be the one to light your flame Oh baby Oh baby Let me be the one For you Don't be scared to show your feelings Cause baby I do understand And I don't make promises that I can't keep And I vow to be a real good man |

Seems like yesterday but years have passed us by
Precious memories are clear before my eyes I can hear your voice calling out my name But I don't know you now, nothing stays the same All along I have wanted you I pray tonight that you want me, too All along there was no one else I've been waiting here all by myself If you were here with me we'd ride the ocean tide To that special place I help for you deep inside I've kept good company since you've been away Lonely stayed with me with pride began to fade All along I have wanted you I pray tonight that you want me, too All along there was no one else I've been waiting here all by myself And I will follow you til the end of time Til our love is at the end of the line You rolled out of my life just like the wind And left behind a broken heart All along I have wanted you I pray tonight that you want me, too All along there was no one else I've been waiting here all by myself |

Here's my chance to say thank you to a place where
All my memories are fond and an essence of my heart Waiting there with open arms There's Melissa full of charm How I miss her so, she's such a sight of love down in Oh Virginia down the higway to 64 East way to Newport News There you'll find an open door in Oh Virginia all my friends are there to greet me Just a smile down 64 along the open road At the Patton Hotel I spent lots of time there That's where we decided this is where we wanted to be And down the road on Jefferson you'll find Steamer's close by If you see Mark and Steve Breen Tell 'em Jeff and I both said 'hi' But we were younger then never knowing then That she would take us as her own And make us part of her life Highway to the sun we had so much fun I can't wait to get there and tell 'em that I miss my second home Oh Virginia down the way we'll be there in no time Oh Virginia just a ride down 64 Oh Virginia I can see those signs from here Oh Virginia 25 miles to Hampton Roads We got friends in Yorktown we got friends in Williamsburg We got friends in Newport News We want all of y'all from Portsmouth sing We got friends in Bluefield we got friends in Richmond We got friends in Hampton Roads And down by the beach let me hear everybody, yeah |

I went to see my grandma today
I learned the difference between Living and alive Wall to wall roaches in a two by four infested room Lying there in pain Praying for the Lord to take her Nora - I hope it won't be too long for you Nora - All these years you've been so strong Nora - I hope you don't mind if I call you Nora I love you After leaving her, I turned my life around I see new life differently Through the vision of the old Oh, material things don't mean that muich to me I guess I learned that I'm just Glad to be alive and healthy Nora - All this time that you have known me Nora - It took your whole life just to show me Nora - How we take some things for granted Nora, Nora, Nora, I love you And though I know there wasn't long to go Time was something that we shared And when you died I didn't cry for long Cause I believe I'll see you again Nora - I'll see you on the other side Nora - I'll be the one with swallowed pride Nora - Are you sure you don't mind if I call you Nora, Nora, I love you, I love you, I love you I love ... you |

If I needed you so desperately
To come to me and talk to me To take my heart and hand into your comfort zone Where I'm not alone or lonely Well would you take the time to be my friend Cause in the end that's all there is There's love the eternal bond between us Would you be there When the lights are down low and I'm feeliong insecure With this bed so big and cold only memories to hold It's your voice I need to hear to help me overcome this fear I need your hand to help my heart from sinking into this quicksand of love If I told you that I couldn't bear to be alone Would you be there And if I said I need your heart to be my home Would you let me stay there Would you be there for me Can't you see I need you and you need me tonight Close your eyes Realize I've got so much love to give to you |

If you can look into his tired and weary eyes
The can tell a million stories of all he holds inside Waiting patiently 'til the day he dies For a better life-for a better life For a better life-for a better life He saw people die because of their beliefs He saw a leader shot down cold by men behind the trees But he believes he believes that one day he will see Love and harmony-love and harmony Love and harmony-love and harmony He said Take me to a world that's filled with happy people Take me to a land where the poor men are the rich ones Where there are smiling faces and the lonely ain't alone Take me to that peaceful place I call Home Tell me how it is that someone can't believe When the sun gives light and brown comes to the leaves But we have got our own ideas of how the story's told Lies and make believe-lies and make believe Lies and make believe-lies and make believe He said Take me to a world that's filled with happy people Take me to a land where the poor men are the rich ones Where there are smiling faces and the lonely ain't alone Take me to that peaceful place I call Home |

You spend half the time dreaming and the other half's a lie
You don't know where you're going and you don't know how to try You don't really have a best friend but you think that you're in love Now all you can remember are the words he used the most Like the "lie" in believe The "I" in decieve The "her" in together The "we" in the weather He said a lot of things I'm sure he meant them at the time But it's not the end of the world Well you didn't see it coming cause you never understood That there's a time to draw the line when things are going good But you just kept on giving beyond the call of love And he was kind to rob you blind of the pieces of your heart Like that part that made you give And the part that made you weak When he would softly kiss you And tell you that he missed you I know it doesn't seem like what I'm going to say is true But it's not the end of the world It's not the end of the line You know there's more to love You know there's more to life And I know there's more to you Well I can't help but think about you in the middle of the night I know it's kinda lonely but you have to win this fight I just wish that I could hold you and tell you it's allright But it's not the end of the world |

Well it's all right to feel like time is running down
And make amends with those who once have let you down To cry for children who have not yet had their chance To pray for foes in hopes that one day we'll join hands And live in Heaven Heaven forever Heaven forever Heaven forever Heaven forever Love's waiting past the stars Tranquility is not that far Believe in Him he believes in you And I'll see you in Heaven I seen a messenger who was preaching on the street He had nothing but the blisters on his feet And all those big shots with their Mercedes' and yachts There'll be a time fir the to let go what they got And I'll see them in Heaven (...maybe) Heaven forever Heaven forever Heaven forever Heaven forever Do you feel it? Do you see? There's no admission, Heaven's free This is ther world which we decided Without the love we're all divided Love's waiting in the sky Tears for Him will puriufy The answer is in His eyes And He'll see you in Heaven Do you live for Heaven Would you die for Heaven Then I'll see you in Heaven |

could i be with you alone?
i'm not sure where this will go. cause we don't have the time we need, just enough to make us bleed. cause i'll be leaving soon... its hard to say when i'll return, and i don't want to lead you on. so if you feel the need, close your eyes and share this dream. it will be eternity... forever for tonight, i will be there to hold you through the night. forever for tonight, i will love you.. forever for tonight forever for tonight as i look into your eyes, feelings much too strong for us not to try, and if by chance we lose this fight, darling we still have tonight. so when i'm far away, i will always be with you. you will never be alone... so if you feel the need, to take my hand and share this night. it will be eternity... forever for tonight, i will be there to hold you through the night. (i'll be there for you babe) forever for tonight, i will love you, forever for tonight... see i've been broken down by empty promises like a sky without a star. i've been having doubts that i can feel again but i believe that i will love you... ohhhhh yeeaaah forever for tonight i will be there to hold you through the night (i'll be there for you baby) forever for tonight i will love you forever for tonight |

All my life has been a show that never ends
Made a lot of music and I've made a lot of friends I've got two children but I've never had a wife Don't mean to bore you with the story of my life I've been criticized for all the things I've done But I must admit that I did it all in fun The Lord has blessed me with a song a day to sing It's been a long hard road but I wouldn't change a thing And oh I'm just lucky to be here I can't believe I got this far And if I stopped along the way to fight a tear I'm sorry But I thought I saw my dream There's been so much that I've learned along the way I learned that love is color blind and how to pray And that emotions were controlled from deep inside But what I learned the most was how to swallow pride Oh, I'm just lucky to be here I can't believe I got this far And if I stopped along the way to fight a tear I'm sorry But I thought I saw my dream Oh, I'm just lucky to be here I'd gladly stay a thousand years Breathe your love into this union of souls And I'll just write the words |

saw our future in her eyes
We searched for love amidst the lies I didn't mean to draw her in To a fight we'll never win And I sigh as... She becomes like jelly in my hands She told me things I never heard And I just drank her every word We swallow all that love can give Cause love's the reason that we live And I cry as... She becomes like jelly in my hands We crossed our T's with gazing eyes We knew it all was finalized Built this love on sinking sand And I'm ashamed that I'm afraid to lend a hand as... She becomes like jelly in my hands |

I can't remember the last time that we kissed goodbye
All our 'I love you's' were just not enough to survive Something your eyes never told me But it's only now too plain to see Brilliant disguise when you hold me And I'm free I've been thinking and here's what I've come to conclude Sometimes the distance is more than two people can use But how could I have known girl It was time and not space you would need Darling tonight I could hold you and you would know But would you believe There's a light in your eyes that I used to see There's a place in your heart where I used to be Was I wrong to assume that you were waiting for me There's a light in your eyes Did you leave that light burning for me Cards and phone calls and photograph pictures of you Constant reminder of all the things you get used to Is there a chance in hell or heaven That there's still something here to build on Or do you just pick up the pieces after they fall But after all There's a light in your eyes that I used to see And a song in the words that you spoke to me Was I wrong to believe in your melody There's a light in your eyes Did you leave that light burning for me Should I keep on waiting or does love keep on fading away Fading away It's been a while since I've seen you so how have you been Did you get my letter I wrote you, but I did not send I tried to call your old number But the voice that I heard on the phone I recognized but she told me the number was wrong There's a light in my eyes but it's too bright to see And a pain in my heart where you used to be Guess I was wrong to assume that you were waiting here for me There's a light in your eyes Did you leave that light burning for me |

I remember Sunday nights at Kaldi's
I was never really down with coffee shops A group of beatniks reading Kerouac And the smell of grass from the parking lot And as I recall We got to know each other We got to show each other That we were fine just being friends There's that guy who thinks he's Dylan He plays guitar with the band And he dedicates a song he thinks belongs to you and me He must've seen us holding hands But they don't know We tried to cross that line before But what we have is so much more Cause now you will always be mine And as I recall We got to know each other We got to show each other That we were fine just being friends We tried to cross that line before But what we have is so much more Cause now you will always be mine inside And as I recall We got to know each other We got to show each other That we were fine just being friends And we still hold each other And we still love each other But we're just fine just being friends |

When you see love
And you don't know what it is You might find yourself in fear To show your heart But when you feel it And it's oh, so wonderful You might find yourself in fear To let it part, in fear to let it part So hold her closer when she cries Hold her closer when she feels She needs a hand to hold Someone who'll never let her go again And hold him closer when he tries To hold the tears back from his eyes Don't say goodbye When your heart decides That it's time to let it through There's no reason to be scared To open up Cause love may be blind But all of us don't see it So just once in your life If you hear the knock of love Just let it in Hold her closer when she cries Hold her closer when you know it's time to say goodbye You hurry back to see her smile again And hold him closer when he's down When his world is upside down Turn it around So hold her closer when she cries Hold her closer when she feels She needs a hand to hold Someone who'll never let her go again And hold her closer when she's down When her world is upside down Turn it around Hold her close |

When we started it was years ago
We tried so hard to find our souls And lose the innocence that won't let go So we crossed the line and can't turn back Happy endings never last Cause there's always more to stories never told Is this what I've been waiting for A life for someone else To polish all my faded dreams and put them on the shelf Is this what I've been dreaming of Cause I'm needing so much more I'm just trying to get back where we were before We'd shine so hard for everyone Cause we thought we had forever and A day we never thought would end this way With a million mornings left to come We never cared for losing one But it's half past my forever And I need someone to hold my hand And you're just what I've been waiting for To come and take me in To grab ahold and take control and make me whole again And if you need my everything You can take it all and more Just help me to get back where we were before I've grown numb to some things Hunger for the one thing That takes me back to where it all began it all began I know we've grown apart But every now and then I just close my eyes and here we are again And you're just what I've been waiting for So come and take me in Grab ahold and take control and make me whole my friend And if you need my everything You can take in all and more Just help me get back where we were before |

You run and hide you swim away Afraid of all the things I say Now the time has caught up with you Fast car child star j.a.p. girl rap czar No one is to blame How's it feel to be a household name Someone's about to lose And it's playing on the evening news Hey, crumbled star I guess it didn't last forever Does it ever Forever's never I guess you really weren't so clever |

Passing all the pictures on the wall
Counting all the stairs I know them all Knowing there is nothing left to say I take her by the hand and lead the way I lead the way for When she comes And she wants all the world to know She calls my name, she calls my name And she never lets me go Have all my efforts found the way Have all my efforts gone astray Waiting by the closet down the hall I can see her shadow on the wall All of this for a bum like me Beauty only for my eyes to see I can see it When she comes And she wants everyone to know She calls my name, she calls my name And she never lets me go Have all my efforts found the way Have all my efforts gone astray Feel all the pieces falling right back into place Feel all emotions dripping down into my face And all the love I know she feels for me I can feel it When she comes |
