Sometimes I sit back and wonder
How this thing looks to you
Is it right side up, or upside down
Is it the end, or the beginning
To me it might be either way
That all depends upon the viewer
Some may see the day ahead
And, some may stare back at the night we left
Such a thin line, baby
Such a thin line drawn
Such a thin line, baby
Such a thin line drawn
We feel the loss, but there’s a chance here
A chance to turn it around
It’s pretty obvious, now, what we need
To pick ourselves up off the ground
Let’s not get back into the jive
The double talk that brought us here
You’ll need your people just like they need you
Don’t let this memory ever slide
Such a thin line, baby
Such a thin line drawn
Such a thin line, baby
Such a thin line drawn
But, either way
You’ll reap what’s played
Be sure
Some may see a time
When the end is surely near
When all you can do is
Repent and live in fear
Repentance is fine, if pure
If your heart’s in the right place
But, while you’re on your knees
Don’t lose..... Don’t lose.....
Lose your grace
Such a thin line, baby
Such a thin line drawn
Such a thin line, baby
Such a thin line drawn
But, either way
You’ll reap what’s played
But, either way
You’ll reap what’s played
But, either way
You’ll reap what’s played
Ooo, baby, you better be sure, sure, sure
All in all I’d say my time
With you has truly been sublime
We’ve climbed and seen such dizzy heights
But, the lows... the gave us real insight
All in all I’d say we helped a few
Along the way
And, we lament the times we let some down
For that, we’ll pay
All in all we did the best we could
Or, so we say
All in all there’s nothing left to say
Be on your way
All in all I’d say my time
With you has truly been sublime
We’ve climbed and seen such dizzy heights
But, the lows... the gave us real insight
All in all I’d say we helped a few
Along the way
And, we lament the times we let some down
For that, we’ll pay
All in all we did the best we could
Or, so we say
All in all there’s nothing left to say
Be on your way
This crazy world
Has lost its way
And, in the madness of the day
We just can’t get things right
But, in here I’m fine
With my friend, Rae
I see the signs
And, I hear the sounds
Of panic and confusion
From a world I don’t recognize
But, in here I’m fine
With my friend, Rae
Outside there’s so much fear
And, sadness in the air
I can’t take it
Will our way ever return
Are among the things that burn our mind
Through all this I must say
I’m somehow feeling safe inside
Cause, of the love that permeates
Through the darker times just like
Sunshine
This crazy world
Has lost its way
And, in the madness of the day
We just can’t get things right
But, in here I’m fine
With my friend, Rae
I see the signs
And, I hear the sounds
Of panic and confusion
From a world I don’t recognize
But, in here I’m fine
With my friend, Rae
In the end it’s funny how
Most of the things we held in clouds
Just aren’t worth it
And, the money that we saved
Isn’t worth the price we paid at all
Yet, through all this I must say
I’m somehow feeling safe inside
Because, love... is...
Alive
From the time
You take your first breath
You’re on the road
Straight to your death
So, in the time
You have left
Why not add to something more
Than you’re own wealth
You might as well
You might as well
You might…
Lord, you might as well
If you’ve been cold and hard
To the ones that loved you, yeah
And, you learned too late
To treat them right now, child
If your chance has come and gone
And, your cause is lost
You can help the next one coming
Not to repeat your wrong
You might as well
You might as well
You might…
Lord, you might as well
My friend, my friend
Look what’s become of you
You’ve failed, it’s true
But, it’s not the end of you
You still have time
Before you go
To help the next one coming
You can light the road
You might as well
You might as well
You might…
Lord, you might as well
You might as well
You might as well
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You might as well
You might as well
You might as well
You might as well
You might as well
Lord, Lord, Lord
You might as well
You might…
I’ve seen you from the very start
Just like you saw me
And, I see what I’ve done wrong and I
Got some shit coming back to me
But, when I stand accused of not seeing you
Just because we don’t agree...
That cut me to the quick, my friend
Tell me, can you see?
I hear your silence loud and clear
It’s screaming through my head
But I wonder, friend, if you can hear
The other side just as loud. Am I
Coming through to you on your frequency
Can you hear my voice at all
Is this channel open 1,2,3......
Is anybody there
I see your wall way back from here
It’s on full display
I see you in the dark, my friend
You’ve turned into that thing you hate
You shout down every notion at odds with you
You’ve closed yourself completely off
I’ll see you on the other side
Until we meet again
I will never treat you bad
Never make you sad
I will never do you wrong again
I will never make you cry
Never say goodbye
I will never do you wrong again
Seasons may change
Still, you remain
Deep in my heart
For all time
My love
I will never treat you bad
Never make you sad
I will never do you wrong again
Seasons may change
Still, you remain
Deep in my heart
For all time
My love
I will never treat you bad
Never make you sad
I will never do you wrong again
I will never do you wrong again
I will never do you wrong again
Heaven help the poor soul
Who casts his fate into the wind
He will know more trouble
Than peace, I’m sure of this
No matter his intentions
They will think the worst of him
They’ll never know it was not the man
But, the wind that did him in
He was curious of life
But, didn’t know which way to choose
Impatient and precocious
He couldn’t wait til he got loose
He didn’t take the time to learn
Of the winding road ahead
So, to the fates he put his faith
“Let’s hope the kid don’t wind up dead”
Fate is a cruel mistress
She led the fool to all his dreams
The pleasure he found seduced him
He indulged. And, gorged himself
But, he didn’t stop to notice
How from home he’d flown
The wind he’d put his trust in
Swept him from everything he’d known
The moral of the story
Is to take your time, my child
It’s good for you wander
But, be mindful where you ride
The wind, it can be useful
But, you’ll do well to hold your own
Winds may carry you to your dreams
But, they might not blow you home
They may carry you to your dreams
But, they may not take you home
My beautiful black skin
Is not the cause
For the mess we’re in
No, not at all
It’s the hate
That you learned and you teach again
That’s to blame.
It’s the reason for the fall.
I’m beautiful
Fine as hell
I see the beauty in you, too
So, what’s with you?
My sun kissed black hue
Shouldn’t pose a threat to you
Is your guilty conscience doing you in?
Well, you be cool. And, I will too.
You best know I’m never going
through any of this again
It’s been too long as it is. You know
it’s got to end.
If you need reminding, look
outside. The streets are full.
You’ll see my people standing
Bold and Beautiful
Bold and Beautiful
Beautiful.....
The thing that I’ve come to find
Is not to waste time
Caught up in some wasteful grind
That only clutters up your mind
You’ve got your peace to find
Get back to the root
You’re moving in your own time
Shining, happy, living in your truth
In your truth, yeah
In your truth
In your truth, yeah
You’ve got your peace to find
Get back to the root
You’re moving in your own time
You’re shining, happy, living in your truth
In your truth, yeah
In your truth
In your truth, yeah
Shining, happy, in your truth
Shining, happy, in your truth
Shining, happy, in your truth
Shining, happy, in your truth
In your truth, yeah
In your truth, yeah
In your truth, oh
In your truth, yeah
Shining, happy, in your truth
Shining, happy, in your truth
Shining, happy, in your truth
Shining, happy, in your truth
Shining, happy, living in your truth
If you ever feel
You’re in need of rescuing
Just look inside to see
You will find, my friend
There’s a song waiting there
A melody so sweet
The Universe singing just to you
The words will find their rhyme
The lyrics will come in time
To lift your soul up high
Please, just breathe
You will see
The song will find you
The lyrics will come in time
To lift your soul up high
A melody so sweet
The Universe singing just to you
The words will find their rhyme
The lyrics will come in time
To lift your soul up high
The lyrics will come in time
To lift your soul up high
Please, just breathe
You will see
The song will find you
And, bring you your peace
