Welcome To The Freak Show: DC Talk Live In Concert lyrics

Help! I need somebody
Help! Not just anybody
Help! Ya know I need someone
Help!

When I was young was so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone and I'm not so self-assured
Now I find, I've changed my mind and opened up the door

Help me if you can I'm feelin down
And I do appreciate ya bein' 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground

[I got something for you, man]
[Go for a ride]

Bombarded by philosophies that satisfy the surface
I flee to something deeper
At the risk of seeking purpose
How can I hang in this environmental state of being
When everything I'm striving for
Is nothing that I'm seeing

(chorus 1)
Won't You take my heart, won't You take my soul
Won't You come and make me whole again

Under these circumstances, they can hardly cope
Notice their fleeting glances and their lack of hope
I offer this suggestion, they don't seem to care-o
This is my generation, drowning in despair-o

You'll never find peace of mind in your pool of self
You'll never find peace of mind in a sea of wealth
You'll never find peace of mind in your rock and roll

Under these circumstances, they can hardly cope
Notice their fleeting glances and their lack of hope
I offer this suggestion, they don't seem to care-o
This is my generation, drowning in despair-o

You'll never find peace of mind in your pool of self
You'll never find peace of mind in a sea of wealth
You'll never find peace of mind in your rock and roll

[It's just between you and me]
[I've got something' to say]
[I wanna get it straight]
[Before the sun goes down]

Sorrow is a lonely feeling
Unsettled is a painful place
I've lived with both for far too long now
Since we've parted ways
I've been wrestling with my conscience
And I found myself to blame
If there's to be any resolution
I've got to peel my pride away

(chorus)

[Do you copy?]

S-E-X is test when I'm pressed
So back up off with less of that zest
Impress this brother with a life of virtue
The innocence that's spent is gonna hurt you
Safe is the way they say to play
Then again safe ain't safe at all today
So just wait for the mate that's straight from God
Don't have sex 'til you tie the knot

(chorus)
I don't want it, I don't want it, want it

(What if stumble What if I fall?)

Is this one for the people?
Is this one for the Lord?
Or do I simply serenade for the things I must afford
You can jumble them together
my conflict still remains
Holiness is calling
in the mist of courting fame

('Cause I see the trust in their eyes)
Though the sky is falling
(They need your love in their lives)
Compromise is calling

What if I stumble?

I keep trying to find a life
On my own apart from you
I am the king of excuses
I've got one for every selfish thing I do

(Tell me) what's going on inside of me
I despise my own behavior
(This only) serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior

(CHORUS)
I wanna be in the Light
as You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars
in the Heavens
Oh, Lord be my light

Under these circumstances, they can hardly cope
Notice their fleeting glances and their lack of hope
I offer this suggestion, they don't seem to care-o
This is my generation, drowning in despair-o

You'll never find peace of mind in your pool of self
You'll never find peace of mind in a sea of wealth
You'll never find peace of mind in your rock and roll

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane, and
Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world
serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs. Feed it off an aux, speak,
grunt, no strength. The ladder start to clatter with fear, fight down height.
Wire in a fire, representing seven games and a government for hire in a combat

[1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4]

Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir
I couldn't help but note your shade of melanin
I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement
Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin

We've gotta come together
And thank the Maker of us all

(chorus)
We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place

Man against man just ain't the plan
It's time for god's people to take a stand
I mean brother to brother, black to white
Stand up to the problem and begin to fight
Not against each other, you're wastin' time
Yo, i'm referring to a battle of minds
Not through debate or writin' on the walls
This kinda action is delayin' the cause
An eye for an eye, fight fire with fire

[It's, it's too short, it's too short]
[I have lots of time]
[They say time waits for no man]
[All the time]
[Waisted time, waisted time]
[Wait a minute]
[This'll just take a little time]
[Time out!]

Time is tickin' away, time is tickin'
[Tick tock!]
Time is tickin' away, time is tickin'
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tickin'

Here we go again
Straight up rock-n-roll

I'm your Tamagotchi.
So happy that you love me,
and we should be together forever and forever.
Cause, I'm your Tamagotchi.
I need you to protect me.
So that in the night I can feel alright.
I'm your Tamagotchi.
So happy that you love me,
and we should be together forever and forever.
Cause, I'm your Tamagotchi.
I need you to protect me.
So that in the night I can feel alright.

Prologue - The other night I met a girl and she looked to be so nice
I asked her for the digits and she didn't think twice
A couple of days later called her up and asked her out
She said Wit you?
I said Wit me and then she said Without a doubt
I took her to the garden where I guess they grow the olives
She wore a tighter skirt than any I had seen in college

Separated I cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced

I saw a man with a tat' on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
Cause I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head

Alas my love, you say goodbye
Wipe the poison from my brow
Alas my love, this guilty night
It gives me up like a foster child
And in this moment I take my vow
These angels sleeping at my feet
And in this moment you do not know how
How my spirit wants to flee

You see it was one man against the night
Taking on a multitude
That had left Him high and dry
No candle burning vigil could light the way

I want to fly like an eagle to the seaFly like an eagle, let my spirit set me freeWant to fly like an eagle to the seaFly like an eagle, let your spirit set you free
