Mmmmhmmmmhmmhmmmmm

C'mon give me them hands

Oh wave your hands tonight
Oh wave your hands tonight
C'mon give me them hands

Sunday was a bright day yesterday
Dark cloud has come into the way

They sing to the darkest night
Long before

Why can't I face it
Am I too blind to see
Why did he go
Why did he leave me

Sunday was a bright day yesterday
Dark cloud has come into the way

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooo
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Why can't I face it
Am I too blind to see
Why did he go
Why did he leave me

Once I had my heroes
Once I had my dreams
But all of that is changed now
The truth begins again
The truth is not that comfortable, no
Mother taught us patience
The virtues of restraint
Father taught us boundaries
The knowledge we must go
I'm trying to protect my unity

That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver

[spoken style]

wake up, face the future
cause I feel I have to salute you
on the things that's goin on, in this world today
you can run, but you can't hide
you have to find your sense of pride
to let you know, that this world, will never decay

It's later than it's ever been, time's up (time's up)
It's later than it's ever been, time's up (time's up)

all round me burdens
seem to fall
I'm not worried at all
I'm not worried at all

I don't worry
all day long

all round me burdens
seem to fall
I'm not worried at all
I'm not worried at all

just I'm not evil
I just can not see
he told me to pray
just for me

all round me burdens
seem to fall
I'm not worried at all
I'm not worried at all

Mmmmhmmmmhmmhmmmmm

C'mon give me them hands

Oh wave your hands tonight
Oh wave your hands tonight
C'mon give me them hands

(feat. Sinead O'Connor)

the street bears no relief
when everybody's fighting
the street bears no relief
with light so hot and binding

I run the stairs away
and walk into the nighttime
the sadness flows like water
and washes down the heartache
and washes down the heartache

my heart is full
my heart is wide
the saddest song to play
on the strings of my heart

the heat is on its own

oh my baby, don't cry
oh my babe, just say goodbye
oh now baby, don't cry
oh my babe, at least we tried

at least we tried to make it
but in these days I'm so confused
oh my love, at least we had it
let me hold on to you

oh my baby, don't cry
oh my babe, just say goodbye
oh now baby, don't cry
oh my babe, at least we tried

at least we tried but we lost it
i will remember

as the sun was set
and the pieces of light touch your hair
perfect love come softly
with the dawn, the dawn
city once full of people
desolate, is desolate
we look back in
to the ruins where we played

at least we were together
holding hands
flying through the sky
at least we were together
holding hands
flying through the sky
sky

touch your hand
you touch the back of my hand
so many empty nights

Sunday was a bright day yesterday
Dark cloud has come into the way

They sing to the darkest night
Long before

Why can't I face it
Am I too blind to see
Why did he go
Why did he leave me

Sunday was a bright day yesterday
Dark cloud has come into the way

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooo
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Why can't I face it
Am I too blind to see
Why did he go
Why did he leave me

(feat. Angie Stone and MC Lyte)

One things for sure
Well we got soul

It's a jam for the ladies and the superstars
I could leave the whole set but never go too far

If you're from where-ever to where-ever you are

Get yer jam, get it on
Superstar

Jam on

If you're from where-ever to where-ever you are

(MC Lyte, would you put it right)

Everybody moves
I paid my dues
You pick and choose

Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn't know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I'd owned
I threw it out the windows, came along
Extreme ways I know move apart
The colors of my sea
Perfect color me

Extreme ways that that help me
Help me out at night
Extreme places I had gone
But never seen any light
Dirty basements, dirty noise
Dirty places coming through

You leave your home for days and days
And I know, said I know
You got another woman somewhere around

One of these mornings
Won't be very long
You will look for me
And I'll be gone

If I was beautiful
If I had the time
They'd flock to me
Bathe me in the wine
I know that's not the way
I know that's not how things are to be

(My baby left)
(My baby left)
(Gone gone)
(Gone gone)

I was always looking
and I held until the time began
Solo things come at me
I look to see where loss had ran
I can have the sun it come
And touch me on my shoulder

(feat. Azure Ray)

I'll use a lock that has no key
Aren't you in chains
That no one else can see

Let the water creep over your face
I'll send it in waves
Just to watch you perform the great escape

How long can you hold your breath
While you hold mine again and wait
Just to watch you perform the great escape

I'll pull your arms tight behind you back
Use myself as weight

Lord I want
To be up
In my heart

Be
Ohh
Just in my heart, oh Lord
Just in my heart, oh Lord

Lordy don't leave me
All by myself

Good time's the devil
I'm a force of heaven

Lordy don't leave me
All by myself

So many time's I'm down
Down down

With the ground

Lordy don't leave me
All by myself

Whoa, in this world

Lordy don't leave me
All by myself

Growing in numbers
Growing in speed
Can't fight the future
Can't fight what I see

People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars

Efforts of lovers
Left in my mind
I sing in the reaches
We'll see what we find

People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
