Beloved One lyrics

We have both been here before
Knocking upon love's door
Begging for someone to let us in
Knowing this we can agree
To keep each other company
Never to go down that road again
My beloved one
My beloved one
Your eyes shine through me
You are so divine to me
Your heart has a home in mine
We won't have to say a word
With a touch all shall be heard
When I search my heart it's you I find
My beloved one

Forgiven lyrics

I will wait like nothing,
I have ever waited for
I will catch your tears from falling
Until from my hands they pour
You can leave me abandoned
I'll be here if you want back in
Like the rest I have been branded far beneath the skin
So far beneath the skin

You shall be, you shall be, you shall be Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be Forgiven

Here I have been standing

Glory and Consequence lyrics

I'm more afraid of living
than I am scared to die
I'm more afraid of falling
than I am of flying high
Every moral has a story
every story has an end
every battle has its glory
and its consequence
I'm more afraid of loving
than I am of being scorned
but I will keep on trying
though I have been forwarned
Every moral has a story
every story has an end
every battle has its glory
and its consequence

Mama's Got A Girlfriend lyrics

"Papa he left home today
said he ain't comin' back again
said he ain't gonna be nobody's second best
just couse mama's got a special kind of friend

Papa he left home today
said he ain't comin' back no more
said he ain't gonna take no damn back seat
and how could mama do him so low

But mama's got a girlfriend now boy
mama's got a girlfriend now
mama's got a girlfriend
mama's got a true friend

Not Fire Not Ice lyrics

there is not a river wide
not a mountain high
and neither sin nor evil
could change how i feel inside(2x)

not all the strength of the ocean
not all the heat from the sun
(from the sun)
though others ive tried i just cant deny
for me you are the one (2x)

but true love is priceless
for true love we pay the price
but theres nothing can keep me from lovin you
not fire no not ice (2x)

Please Bleed lyrics

Make me feel like a beggar
Make me feel like a thief
Make me feel like a battle that cannot end in peace
Make me feel like running as if Ive lost my nerve
Make me feel like crying tears I don't deserve

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Oh, who have I become
To myself I am numb
I am numb
I am numb

Is this really living

Pleasure And Pain lyrics

I'm leaving here on the morning train
And I will never see this world again
I've felt pleasure
And I have felt pain
And I know now
That I can never be the same

How I wonder why the world can be so cold
And if only good die young
Then left with me cruel here to grow old
And I felt pleasure
And I felt pain
And I know now
I can never be the same

And if someday I find my peace of mind

Sexual Healing lyrics

Oh baby now let's get down tonight

Baby, I'm hot just like your oven
and I need your lovin'
and, baby, I can't hold it much longer
oh it's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling I gotta have

Sexual healing
Sexual healing
It makes me feel so fine
It helps to relieve the mind
Sexual healing, is good for me
Sexual healing now is something that is so very good for me

Steal My Kisses lyrics

I put into Nashville, Tennessee
But you wouldn't even come around to see me
And since your headin' up to Carolina
You know I gonna be right there behind you

CHORUS:
'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

Now I love to feel that warm southern rain

The Drugs Don't Work lyrics

All this talk of getting old
Is getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag
Waiting to drown
This time I'm calming down

And I know your thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

and now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

But I know i'm on a losing streak

The Woman In You lyrics

Could've sworn I heard you say amen this morning,
showing some kind of sign that you believe
Did it fall from your tongue without warning
or just another trick to fall from your sleeve
Did I hear you say that you believe in angels?
I guess I bring the devil out in you
But we can both remove our halos
'cause even an angel needs love too
even an angel needs love too

The woman in you is the worry,

Waiting On An Angel lyrics

Waiting on an angel
one to carry me home
hope you come to see me soon
cause I don't want to go alone
I don't want to go alone

Now angel won't you come by me
angel hear my plea
take my hand lift me up
so that I can fly with thee
so that I can fly with thee

And I'm waiting on an angel
and I know it won't be long
to find myself a resting place
in my angel's arms
in my angel's arms

Walk Away lyrics

Oh, no
Here comes that sun again
That means another day
Without you, my friend

And it hurts me to look into the mirror at myself
And it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else

And it's so hard to do
And so easy to say
But sometimes, sometimes
You just have to walk away
Walk away

So many people to love in my life
Why do I worry about one?
But'a you put the happi- in my -ness

Welcome To The Cruel World lyrics

Welcome to the cruel world
Hope you find your way
Welcome to the cruel world
Hope you find your way
It's a cruel world
Try to enjoy your stay

Yes it is a cruel world
When you're tryin' to get by
It's a cruel world
When you've seen the look in their eye
Makes life hard living
But I'm so scared to die

Welcome to the cruel world
Welcome
Welcome

Don't know how
We've lasted here so long

Whole Lotta Love lyrics

You so easily amuse

Like a pantomime

Such a silent crime

You so easily abuse

Lack of confindence
It's your best offense

You so easily confuse

You can't deny it

Still you try to hide it

Faded

So faded

Like a memory gone

There's no recollection

Faded

So faded

Like a forgotten dream

Further than it seems

You so hastily defy

Like A King / I'll Rise lyrics

Well Martin's dream has become Rodney's worst nightmare.
Can't walk the streets, to them we are fair game,
our lives don't mean a thing.
Like a King, like a King, like a King.
Rodney King, Rodney King, Rodney King.
Like a king, like a King, like a King.
How I wish you could help us Dr. King.

Make sure it's filmed, shown on national T.V.
They'll have no mercy.

Another Lonely Day lyrics

Yes indeed, I'm alone again.
And here comes emptiness crashing in.
It's either love or hate,
I can't find in between,
'cause I've been with witches and I've been with a queen.

It wouldn't have worked out anyway.
So now it's just another lonely day.
Further along we just may.
But for now it's just another lonely day.

Wish there was something now I could say or do.

In The Lord's Arms lyrics

Like the wings stolen from an angel
Like petals gone from a rose
Like a dove caught in a storm
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms

The wind it blew straight through us
And whispered to me in tongues
I was told I was wrong

Tonight he would be in the Lord's Arms
Tonight he is in the Lord's Arms

So I drinked this wine to him
With each glass of memory

Power Of The Gospel lyrics

It will make a weak man mighty.
It will make a mighty man fall.
It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all.
It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame.
It is the love for hate and pride for shame.

That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the mighty, mighty power.
That's the power of the gospel, well.

Roses From My Friends lyrics

I could have treated you better
But you couldn't have treated me worse
But it's he who laughs last
Is he who cries first
Sometimes I feel I know strangers
Better than I know my friends
Why must a beginning
Be the means to an end

The stones from my ennemies
These wounds will mend
But I cannot survive
The roses from my friends

When the last word has been spoken

Faded / Whole Lotta Love lyrics

You so easily amuse
Like a pantomime
Such a silent crime
You so easily abuse
Lack of confindence
It's your best offense
You so easily confuse
You can't deny it
Still you try to hide it

Faded
So faded
Like a memory gone
There's no recollection

Faded
So faded
Like a forgotten dream
Further than it seems

You so hastily defy
When you think you need it

Burn One Down lyrics

Let us burn one from end to end,
And pass it over to me my friend.
Burn it long, we'll burn it slow,
To light me up before I go.
If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one down.

My choice is what I choose to do,
And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.

Your choice is who you choose to be,

Ground On Down lyrics

I believe in a few things :
God, the Devil and Love,
Cause I've looked up from the bottom and I've stared down from above.
And I have faith in a few things :
Divinity,
Divinity and Grace,
But even when I'm on my knees, I know the devil prays.

And you're working your way,
From the ground on down.

I hate to say I love you,

Alone lyrics

This empty room it fills my mind
Freedom it leaves me confined
Every single wall has cracked
But in this life you can't turn back
I don't want to live,
I don't want to live alone
Alone
Alone
Alone

As these words are with my tongue
I question why they're even sung
I have promised but I lied
I don't even know myself inside

I don't want to be,

Excuse Me Mr. lyrics

Oh - excuse me Mr.
Do you have the time,
Or are you so important that it stands still for you?
Excuse me Mr.
Want you lend me your ear,
Or are you not only blind but do you not hear?
Excuse me Mr. but isn't that your oil in the sea,
And the pollution in the air Mr.,
Whose could that be?

So, excuse me Mr.
But I'm a mister too.
And you're givin' Mr. a bad name,
