Let Love Rule lyrics

Sittin' on top of the world
Sittin' on top of the world

Remember the times we used to play
We'd sing and we'd dance all damn day
But all I do is sing the blues
But have I forsaken you by telling you
What you must do
And all I do is sing the blues
But I would never lie, let things go by
Leave you in road to die
I would never ever say good bye

Never gonna say good bye

Love is gentle as a rose
And love can conquer any war
It's time to take a stand
Brothers and sisters join hands

We got to let love rule
Let love rule
We got to let love rule
Let love rule

Love transcends all space and time
And love can make a little child smile
Oh can't you see
This won't go wrong
But we got to be strong
We can't do it alone

We got to let love rule

It's on the freedom train
Come on dance on the freedom train

[Repeat over and over]

You came to me like a dream
How would I know it was a scheme
To get me to you

Your eyes burned like fire
Through my heart
Although we were lifetimes apart

Making mistakes was my game
Oh your life, your life, I tried to rearrange
But now I know a better way

My my my my, my precious love
My my my my, my precious love

Now you're a woman
You've got a child
And those days, those days

I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us
I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us

In this garden
This lovely garden
I build a temple of love
Walk with the Father
Won't be a bother
To touch the Earth as it was
We'll farm the land each day
And in the sunshine we will play
Glory glory for the day He came
Our tears had gone away
We'll make love in the shade

I smell the fear that rains inside
The thought of children who must oblige
To tainted dreams and polluted seas
The missing moon and melting trees
A mist of doom and clouds of pain
A toxic waste and an acid rain
The passing of our ignorance
A lifetime spent in abstinence

I living in fear, I living in fear
I can't tell you no lies
I living in fear, I living in fear

The dream is lost
Don't let it slip away
Or bloody days won't be far away
'Cause when there's no more sun
There's no where you can run

Does anybody know how many lives we've lost
Can anybody ever pay the cost
What will it take for us to join in peace my friends
Does anybody out there even care

Wake up world before it's too late
It's time for love to conquer hate

Mr Cab Driver won't you stop to let me in
Mr Cab Driver don't like my kind of skin
Mr Cab Driver you're never gonna win
Mr Cab Driver won't you stop to pick me up
Mr Cab Driver I might need some help
Mr Cab Driver only thinks about himself
Here we go

Mr Cab Driver, Mr Cab Driver
Mr Cab Driver, Mr Cab Driver

Mr Cab Driver don't like the way I look

Little Mary was five years old
Her parents left her, she was out in the cold
Alone to live and find her way
In this great world of heartache and pain

Eyes of brown, matted locks of gold
Her flowered dress is tattered and soiled
Tear stained cheeks, her feet cold and bare
Who could have left a child so rare

Rosemary your day will come
He loved you so He gave His only son

Lord what's the matter
Am I lost
This life's a disaster, what is the cause
Am I a junkie, what is my fate
Or am I a flunkie who doesn't relate
Or am I a child so full of hate

Am I a doctor or even a priest
Or am I a rapist who needs a release
A psychotic prancer
Times Square dancer
The mind can see as long as you'll be
For real with yourself
And you'll forever be

Be, be, be, be

I know a girl who gets off
By sticking needles in her vein
Oh lord what a shame

She's got no money so she turns tricks
And plays dirty games
Oh Lord spare her pain

What she say she do to you
You'd have to be insane
The bathroom stall, her bedroom
The one that's always engaged
She sleeps and eats with the plague

She's got a baby in her belly
But she just don't care

He rode in town on a white horse
With nothing in his hands
He came to gather his people
And take them to their promised land
When he came he knew there would be bloodshed
But still no violence made his plans
He came to fight in a battle
With no guns or money

But with his empty hands
With his empty hands
With his empty hands
With his empty hands

They said hey boy what you lookin'at

Dressed in purple velvets
With a flower in her hair
Feel her gentle spirit
As the champa fills the air
She wears rubys on her fingers
Tiny bells upon her toes
She's the finest thing
I've ever seen
Love that ring inside her nose

Flower child yeah, flower child
Flower child oh yeah

She's a psychedelic princess
On a magic carpet ride
And where her trip will carry you

Lord what's the matter
Am I lost
This life's a disaster, what is the cause
Am I a junkie, what is my fate
Or am I a flunkie who doesn't relate
Or am I a child so full of hate

Am I a doctor or even a priest
Or am I a rapist who needs a release
A psychotic prancer
Times Square dancer
The mind can see as long as you'll be
For real with yourself
And you'll forever be

I smell the fear that rains inside
The thought of children who must oblige
To tainted dreams and polluted seas
The missing moon and melting trees
A mist of doom and clouds of pain
Toxic waste and acid rain
The passing of our ignorance
A lifetime spent in abstinence

Living in fear
Living in fear
I can't tell you no lies
Living in fear
Living in fear

Conditioning to hate and them to blame

let's wander slowly through the fields
slowly slowly through the fields
i touch the leaves that touch the sky
just you and i through fields of joy
all trouble slowly fades away
slowly slowly fades away
i hold your hand inside my hand
across the land through fields of joy
the sound of music that we hear
the blend of colors throug the air
all cities, mountains disappear from view

my mama said
that your life is a gift
and my mama said
there's much weight you will lift
and my mama said
leave those bad boys alone
and my mama said
be home before the dawn
and my mama said
you can be rich or poor
but my mama said
you can be big or small

but i'm always on the run

my mama said
that it's good to be truthful
but my mama said
don't take more than a mouthful
and my mama said

there were times i wasn't kind
and there were times i wasn't even around
and there were times i made you cry
so many times i had to say goodbye
when you want to talk
i'm on the phone
but now baby i am here for you alone

i'm gonna stand by my woman now
i'm gonna stand by my woman now
'cause i can't live my life alone
without a home

there were times i didn't understand

here we are still together
we are one
so much time wasted
playing games with love

so many tears i've cried
so much pain iside
but baby it ain't over 'til it's over
so many years we've tried
to keep our love alive
but baby it ain't over 'till it's over

how many times
did we give up
but we always worked things out
and all my doubts and fear
kept me wondering
if i'd always be in love

more than anything in this world
i just want you to be my woman
more than anything in this world
i wanna be your man

i'd walk through fire
stand in the rain
i'll go through hell and back
on a plane
i'd scale the mountains
swim the seas
i beg for mercy
down on my knees

more than anything in this world
i just want you to be my woman
more than anything in this world
i wanna be your man

my pockets were full and now my money's gone
my friends come around and now they're gone
things come and they come and then they go
and where they go nobody knows

it's gonna come around
what goes around comes around
it's gonna come around
what goes around comes around

my cup over runneth with the fullness and grace
yet people push bullshit in my face

i'm just a human
i never said i was god
and each day i wonder where you are
how could our lives once be so together
now we're apart
i know we can make it
but where do we start ?
sometimes the scales get unbalanced
don't you know the reason why ?

the difference is why
the difference is why

you say you can't trust me
have you tried ?
you say you don't love me
that's a lie

thinking positivity
if you wanna be with me
i'll take you to the promised land
come on baby take my hand

stop draggin' sround

higher and higher and higher we get
i'll freak you like a sex-o-lette
you say you wanna be my wife ?
ii'll take you to another life, come on

stop draggin' around

come on baby, take my hand
i'll take you to the promised land

stop draggin' around

flowers for zoe
love is for zoe
angels and rainbows
all kinds of things you can call your own

gardens for zoe
and oceans for zoe
jungle gym playgrounds
all kinds of things for you to explore

flowers for zoe
love is for zoe
angels and rainbows
all kinds of things you can call your own

god is for zoe
and heaven's for zoe
oh can you velieve
that everything is waiting to unfold ?

Baby can't keep on running
All I want you to do is to feel with me yeah
We both are hurting
And it's gonna take a little time
To heal all the wounds and save our family

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted was love

Remember kissing in the moonlight?
How we held each other all night
All I ever wanted was love

will we ever understand ?
or is teh fate of man at hand ?
will we live or shall we die ?
how will we ever know if we never try ?
the government's the devil's hands
it's a lie and it's a scam
they wind us up, put us down and watch us go
and if you close your eyes
there's a big surprise

what the fuck are we saying ?
do we feel what we dream about ?
we've got to keep on praying

will we ever understand ?
or is teh fate of man at hand ?
will we live or shall we die ?
how will we ever know if we never try ?
the government's the devil's hands
it's a lie and it's a scam
they wind us up, put us down and watch us go
and if you close your eyes
there's a big surprise

what the fuck are we saying ?
do we feel what we dream about ?
we've got to keep on praying

I know a girl who gets off
By sticking needles in her vein
Oh Lord what a shame
She's got no money so she turns tricks
And plays dirty games
Oh Lord spare her pain
What she says she do to you
You'd have to be insane
The bathroom stall, her bedroom
The one that's always engaged
She sleeps and eats with the plague
She's got a baby in her belly
But she just don't care
