In troubled times
It's hard to get straight answers
Between the lines
That border wrong or right
The homeland cries
It struggles with confusion
But this feelin' still remains
Like shelter from the rain
We live of faith
In the hands of those who guide us
And tear the page
On the fear we left behind
We set the pace
For every born survivor
Don't turn the other way
When I need to hear you say
Allies with our backs against the wall
I will answer when you call
And take on the odds
For what we believe is true
Allies in a world of too much choice
I only need your voice
To tell me you care
I'll be anywhere for you, allies
We search our hearts
To justify the reason
And draw the line
To meet somewhere halfway
If faith is blind
Through darkness it will guide us
'Cause the spirit still remains
With the keepers of the flame
Allies with our backs against the wall
I will answer when you call
And take on the odds
For what we believe is true
Allies in a world of too much choice
I only need your voice
To tell me you care
I'll be anywhere for you, allies
Allies with our backs against the wall
I will answer when you call
And take on the odds
For what we believe is true
Allies in a world of too much choice
I only need your voice
To tell me you care
I'll be anywhere for you, allies

For the days to come watch out
They're taking everything we die for
like the freedom from this world's disorder
what did they murder you for?
born in gray eyes up but heads bowed
our comrades' songs heard at Stonewall loud
for every day we'll fight our way through
or we'll drown in all our past mistakes
Searching not waiting
For our reaction
Don't let them tell you
What you cannot be
all the silent nights you thought
the space between you and the mirror
telling all the things you couldn't tell us
so afraid the world won't listen
and the ministers fill up the skies
praying on our fears and lies
still Love is the last thing we've got left to lose
our we'll drown in all our past mistakes
Searching not waiting
For our reaction
Don't let them tell you
What you cannot be
Searching no longer
For our reaction
Don't let them tell you
Who you cannot love
For all this
You wanted
Don't fall
Names of the fallen
In the wall
Live on
So arm in arm
We'll fight them down
With all our pride
Don't let them tell you

I'm feeling good
The city is on
I'm feeling good
A rebel is born
Since the tired class isn't serious
We start laughing obvious
It feels so fine
When there is no doubt
It feels so fine
To emerge the sound
Since the hired mass is notorious
The tragedy it self is calling us
The big dog walks the street without his allies
And i don't let him go
The big dog lost the street and all his allies
And i want him to go
It's not enough
To stand in the dark
While they play off
In the crack of the door
Since corruption plays all tricks on you
You shouldn't go to far
Someone is watching you
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh you'll soon be mine
You'll soon be mine
The big dog walks the street without his allies
And i want him to go
The big dog lost the street and all his allies
And i want him to go
They cannot hide the signs
They cannot hide all signs

He's got a picture of Jesus
That he's carried around for years
It's worn out and faded
But the thing that he holds dear
Is his trust in God
There's a girl waiting tables
When deep down she knows
The dream she has to follow
But whereever she may go
She will trust in God
There's a world full of people
Who can't seem to hear
The voice of all creation
Making it so clear
You can trust in God
(Chorus)
Trust in God
The river sighs
Trust in God
Creation cries
Trust in God, Oh yeah
There's a salesmen who selling
He's doing the best he can
He'll never make a million
He's a solitary man
With a trust in God
There's an elderly couple
In the park holding hands
With a lifetime of memories
But they're still making plans
As they trust in God
(Chorus 2)
Trust in God
The river cries
Trust in God
The very rocks themselves will cry
Trust in God Oh, Yeah

We got loud guitars and a rockin' band
Ain't gonna stop until you understand
There's a whole world of evil in the heart of man
It's a far, far cry from Caanan's land
It's a Long Way from Paradise
We got carbon monoxide and acid rain
Designer drugs that can melt your brain
We got drive by murder, the mark of Cain
Neo - nazis and the K.K.K.
It's a Long Way from Paradise
Long Way from Paradise
Long Way from Paradise
You can play it safe, or role the dice
but the heart of the city is as cold as ice
It's a Long Way from Paradise
You know the thief on the cross didn't have much time
Had a talk with Jesus on the day He died
He said "Forgive me Lord for a life of crime"
Got a guarantee in the nick of time

Some people think that I'm too shallow, while others feel that I'm so deep,
But there's a holy fire of passion... (inside the deepest part of me)
That burns inside the deepest part of me.
The deepest part of me is where I hide my dreams,
The deepest part of me is given to extremes,
And I know that you'll always be all that I need,
You live inside the deepest part of me.
I leave the arguments to scholars as long as God believes in me,
The only thing I know for certain... (inside the deepest part of me)
He lives inside the deepest part of me.
The deepest part of me is where I hide my dreams,
The deepest part of me is given to extremes,
And I know that you'll always be all that I need,
You live inside the deepest part of me.
The deepest part of me is where I hide my dreams,
The deepest part of me is given to extremes,
And I know that you'll always be all that I need,
You live inside the deepest part of me,
And I know that you'll always be all that I need,

Can't take much more of this heat
You got the water and I got the need
I feel a thirst in my soul
I'm burnin' up from head to toe
You gotta help me out, you know I'm down on my knees
I'm holding on to you, you gotta help me mister, please
Come on and
CHORUS
Take me to the river
Carry me down
Take me to the river
Gotta make it somehow
I'm feelin' kinda tired and it's a long way down
Take me to the river
Before I drown
Feel like I'm breathin' my last
I'm goin' down and sinking fast
There ain't a moment to waste
When I close my eyes, I can almost taste it
I'm down-right busted and I'm down on my luck
I'm coming back to you, you know I just can't get enough
You gotta
Chorus
I hear you callin', and I'm about to heed, it's alright
I'll get that water washin' over me till it's alright

What am I longing for, when I have everything I need?
Why do I ask for more, when I have enough for three?
As I get older now, seems like I break before I bend,
When there’s no one else around, I’m so grateful for a friend.
Someone to turn to,
Someone who understands the pain,
Someone to turn to,
Someone who will never turn away.
A hero should face the pain, but he’s not supposed to cry,
I’m down on my knees again; so what kind of man am I?
Standing before you, Lord, with my weakness showing through,
When only the strong survive, God, my strength depends on you.
Someone to turn to,
Someone who understands the pain,
Someone to turn to,
Someone who will never turn away.
Hold me, hold me,
Take me in your arms and say you love me.
Someone to turn to,
Someone who understands the pain,
Someone to turn to,
Someone who will never turn away,
Someone to turn to,
Someone who understands the pain,
Someone to turn to,
Someone who will never turn away,
Someone to turn to,
Someone who understands the pain,
Someone to turn to,
Someone who will never turn away,
Someone to turn to,
Someone to turn to,
Someone to turn to,

Everyone’s trying to find the solution to the problems here today,
Everyone’s blaming evolution; we just got to show the way.
The closer I get to God, I finally realise we just can’t ignore the signs,
We’re running out of time,
Running out of time, running.
I have been sanctioned, as a believer, to tell you the things I hear and see,
I recognise the great deceiver, (Satan)
I won’t let him get the best of me.
The closer I get to God, I finally realise we just can’t ignore the signs,
We’re running out of time.
The closer I get to God, I finally realise we just can’t ignore the signs,
We’re running out of time.
Bring it up,
Let’s go.

Hey.
Jacque knows her heart is out of danger, as long as there is one love on her mind,
Years ago, she found the perfect stranger on a night when sleep was hard to find.
She recalls how he put the past behind her,
After all, she would never leave.
Oh, ‘cause Jacque remembers all of the things she used to do,
Jacque remembers all of the things that she used to do.
People at the office watch, and wonder what could make her hold her head so high,
When the world is crashing down like thunder, Jacque seems to take it all in stride.
She’s aware: if she might begin to stumble someone’s there to catch her when she falls.
Oh, but Jacque remembers all of the things she used to do,
Jacque remembers all of the things that she used to do, Lord.
Jacque, Jacque, ah,
Jacque gave her life away.
Oh, but Jacque remembers all of the things she used to do,
Jacque remembers all of the things that she used to do,
Jacque remembers all of the things she used to do,
Jacque remembers giving her heart to the one she knew.
Oh, Jacque,
Oh, oh, oh,
You got to believe it’s getting better,

I ain't never seen no time when a man can't say what he wants to
Like to speakin' his mind, if he knows he's right he got to
Lay it on the line, he got to run it, my my
He got the right of way, the boy's convinced he's right, good God
He got somethin' to say
He's like a freight train to the powers that be
Like Christ in the middle of the Pharisees
Just let him be
He's a rock n' roller, rock n' roller, rock n' roll angel
Hell's bells keep a ringin' like the voice of sin
But he keep preachin' at the volume of ten
He got a mission that's a whole lot bigger than him
He's on the right side, ye he is
Flack keep flyin' form the powers that be
I with them boys would just let him be
He's determined to make a blind kid see
I know he could did it cause he did it to me
In technicolor
He's a rock n' roller, rock n' roller, rock n' roll angel
Alright
He's gonna rock n' roll this town, and if it takes him all night
He's gonna bring salvation down
People put him down for the noise he wrote
But there ain't no such thing as no evil note
Just intentions, he got a one-track mind
This is the place I need another line
Mommy and Daddy don't seem to care
But they sho nuff ought to be glad he's there
He ain't perfect, he's just a blowin' a jam
But the rap's the same as Billy Graham
Just a different haircut

Don’t weep for me when I’m gone,
Those who knew me, know full well that in love and in laughter I lived as a prince,
And, in my heart of hearts, I served my calling,

I see the children on the TV, asking, “Have you seen me?”
More little faces every day; they don’t go away,
Torn from their world and out on their own, you can hear them calling,
Taken from home unto the unknown, so lost and alone.
Hear our voice, hear our cry,
Say a prayer for the children,
Heal the pain, heal our world,
Say a prayer for the children.
Suffering hearts bear all of the pain while the world is watching,
The innocent die and nothing is changed; it’s always the same.
Hear our voice, hear our cry,
Say a prayer for the children,
Heal the pain, heal this world,
Say a prayer for the children.
We pray for the children, their voices are crying,
The hurt and the pain is too much for a small heart to bear,
We don’t hold the answers, we can’t find the reasons,
My God, can you hear us? – Please let us know that you’re there.
Hear our voice, hear our cry, (hear our voice, hear our cry)
Say a prayer, (for the children)
Heal the pain, heal this world, (heal this world)
Say a prayer, (say a prayer for the children)
Hear our voice, hear our cry, (hear our voice, hear our cry)
Say a prayer, (for the children)
Heal the pain, heal this world, (heal the pain, heal this world)
Say a prayer. (for the children)
As I lay me down to sleep, pray the Lord my soul to keep,
If I die before I wake, pray the Lord my soul to take.

Don’t wait for the world to make things colder,
Come out of the ashes, smoke and smoulder,
It’s time to rebuild the walls that Hell brought down,
Defending the faith with no dissention,
We’re gonna repel evil’s invasion, and put ‘em to flight until they can’t found.
On with the fight, (fight, fight)
Stand for the right, fight on,
On with the fight,
To God be the glory,
On through the night,
Children, fight on.
We fight for the word: our God and saviour,
He’s turning the tide of war in favour,
The victory is ours, and surely time will tell,
We’ll show them some real uncommon valour,
We’ll stand with the pure in heart forever,
We’ll carry the flag right through the gates of Hell; yes, we will.
On with the fight, (fight, fight)
Stand for the right, fight on,
On with the fight,
To God be the glory,
On through the night,
Children, fight on,
Fight on, fight on.
On with the fight, (fight, fight)
Stand for the right, fight on,
On with the fight,
To God be the glory,
On through the night,
Children,
On with the fight, (fight, fight)
Stand for the right, fight on,
On with the fight,
To God be the glory,
On through the night,
Children, fight on,
Fight on, fight on,

Well, I fell from grace like a tonne of bricks, but my head is hard and my skin is thick,
Got a coal-black heart, and a made up mind that I ain’t gonna leave no love behind.
Oh yeah, so hard to understand,
Lord, have mercy on a mule-headed man.
You just give me an inch, and I’ll take a mile, ‘cause taking orders just ain’t my style,
You can keep on talking, baby, but it won’t change me; I’m the stubbornest man that there’ll ever be.
Come on, so hard to understand,
Lord, have mercy on a mule-headed man.
TV preachers say that God is poor; I can have more money if I send him more,
If I drain my wallet, God’ll fill my cup,
Will the real, live Jesus please stand up?
I’ll just take what’s yours, and I’ll keep what’s mine,
I’m a two-time loser with a one-tracked mind,
I’m as mean and cruel as a mule can be,
Roll over Balaam, you got nothing on me.
So hard to understand,
Lord, have mercy on a mule-headed man,
I said, Lord, have mercy; I’m a mule-headed man,
Lord, have mercy; I’m a mule-headed man.
Come on,
Yeah,
Come on,
Hey,
Come on,
Yeah,
Come on,

Like Marlon Brando with a Jimmy Cagney style
John Wayne kind of swagger with a Henry Fonda smile
He hang out on the corner, he hang out on the street
All the homies come around him when the brother starts to preach
He take the bible wherever he goes
He tell the truth like it's someone he knows
He put his heart into every word
He got a vision, or haven't you heard
CHORUS
Man with a mission- he's out on the street
Man with a mission- he's walkin' the beat
Man with a mission- the deacon of souls
Man with a mission
Man with a mission of love
He got to preach what he feel down in his soul
Got to follow Jesus or you never will be whole
Now if you're dancin' with the devil, boy you're gonna pay a price
You better listen to the preacher, take some free advice
He got an answer for every man
He gonna reach you however he can
He gonna preach ‘til he's blue in the face
He gonna hip you up whatever it takes, he's a
Chorus
If he meets you on the corner he will greet you with a smile
He'll be preachin' in the neighborhood to pray you through in style
When he leads you up to Calvary you will find your heart's desire
He will slay you in the spirit with the Holy Ghost and tongues of fire

I pray in church every Sunday, “Lord, send my troubles away,
Tear them down, send them out of town,” but they still around the next day,
Now I know God is my saviour; he don’t want me have no more pain,
It seems so clear, since my trouble’s here, it is me he be sending away.
So, send me, Lord, to the island, where palm trees sway by the shore,
Where life is slow and the cool wind blow, and I won’t have trouble no more.
And I won’t have no trouble no more.
Now, who goin’ pay for my boat ride?
Money don’t grow on no tree,
When God is guiding, he’ll be providing – oh, hurry up, Lord, will you please?
Now, I am the picture of patience, I know how to trust in the Lord,
I will wait on him, put my faith in him, and I’ll give him just one hour more.
Oh, send me, Lord, to the island, where palm trees sway by the shore,
Where life is slow and the cool wind blow, and I won’t have trouble no more,
Everybody…send me, Lord, to the island, where palm trees sway by the shore,
Where life is slow and the cool wind blow, and I won’t have trouble no more.
And I won’t have no trouble no more.
Now, when I go to the island, a brand new man I will be,
I will read and pray, witness every day ‘cause my mind will be trouble free,
The island could be a mission, where thousands of natives are saved,
I’d be Billy Graham in a foreign land…ah, but too much of this place is paved.
Altogether now,
Send me, Lord, to the island, where palm trees sway by the shore,
Where life is slow and the cool wind blow, and I won’t have trouble no more,
Everybody…send me, Lord, to the island, where palm trees sway by the shore, (everybody)
Where life is slow and the cool wind blow, and I won’t have trouble no more.
And I won’t have no trouble no more.
Sing the chorus… Send me, Lord, to the island, where palm trees sway by the shore,
Where life is slow and the cool wind blow, and I won’t have trouble no more,
Sing a little softer… Send me, Lord, to the island, where palm trees sway by the shore, (sounds so cool)
Where life is slow and the cool wind blow, and I won’t have trouble no more,
Sing a little louder… Send me, Lord, to the island, where palm trees sway by the shore,
Where life is slow and the cool wind blow, and I won’t have trouble no more,
And I won’t complain anymore,
And I won’t backslide anymore,
And I won’t have trouble on more, no,

I've been waiting for this moment all my life
I really want to give my heart to You
And if You would give me Yours I could never doubt Your love again
I could go through anything
As long as You are here with me, I've
CHORUS
Got to have You in my life
Got to have You in my life
Wanna be true in my life
Got to have You in my life
I don't want a pocket full of empty words
I really want to change from inside out
And not from the outside in
I need something powerful and true
You laid down a perfect life
The greatest love of all and so I've
Chorus
All that I have in my heart I will give You
I know that Your promise of love is true
I've been waiting for this moment all my life
I really want to change from inside out
And not from the outside in
I could never doubt Your love again
You laid down a perfect life
The greatest love of all and so I've

Land of the free and the home of the brave,
Where men can dream and the flag still waves,
From shore to shore, there are those who love your name,
We still believe in the promised land.
I still have faith in America,
God shed his grace on us,
I still believe in America,
I know in God I can trust.
In America, our children still believe,
In America, our people still have faith,
In America, our country still is free,
In America, there’s faith,
In America.
We’re holding on to the things we believe,
There’s no other place like America.
I still have faith in America,
God shed his grace on us,
I still believe in America,
I know in God I can trust.
In America, our children still believe,
In America, our people still have faith,
In America, our country still is free,
In America, there’s faith,
In America.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
In America, our children still believe,
In America, our people still have faith,
In America, my country ‘tis of thee,
In America, there’s faith,
In America.

If you believe he’s coming back tomorrow, oh, then live like he is coming back today.
With every passing day, redemption’s drawing near, for those with eyes to see and those with ears to hear,
It’s easy to believe; the signs are everywhere,
You can see it in the sky, you can feel it in the air.
If you believe he’s coming back tomorrow, oh, then live like he is coming back today, hey,
If you believe he’s coming back tomorrow, oh, then live like he is coming back today, hey.
The lamb that once was slain has come to life again,
As a lion he’ll return, and judgement will begin.
If you believe he’s coming back tomorrow, oh, then live like he is coming back today, hey,
If you believe he’s coming back tomorrow, oh, then live like he is coming back today, hey.
If you believe he’s coming back tomorrow, oh, then live like he is coming back today, hey,
If you believe he’s coming back tomorrow, oh, then live like he is coming back today, hey,
If you believe he’s coming back tomorrow, oh, then live like he is coming back today, hey,

I come from the school of hard knocks daily
But I ain't nobody's fool
And it might seem crazy
I got to justify, But I know
You're always gonna be around
Yeah I know
Whenever I'm in trouble
You're on the double somehow
(Chorus)
I wanna be like You
Oh won't you show me everything
I want the world to be looking at You
When they're looking at me
I wanna be like You
I wanna do all the things that you do
I don't want to be like any other man
I just wanna be like You
I'm headed stright for the top
Can't stay in the middle
No, I ain't gonna stop, Can't even slow down a little
But I know
Life ain't always what it seems
Yeah I know
That when I just can't take it
I know I'll make it, When you pull me through
(Chorus)
Cause you're my hero
Oh Yeah
You can count on me Lord

I saw a friend of mine the other day,
He said, “I love you, but I just can’t stay,”
Lord, he seemed so very far away,
In his eyes I saw a look that I could not ignore, a look I’d seen so many times before,
God, he keeps on coming back for more; one more try.
When you’re hurt,
When you scream,
There’s a hope, there’s a dream.
Harmony, harmony,
In all you do, in all you see,
Harmony, sweet harmony,
We all need sweet harmony.
A paid attendant at a filling station, a cherished member of the united nation, a woman crying out of desperation; can’t they see?
And there’s a loneliness deep inside, the kind of feeling that you just can’t hide,
Don’t you know I’ll be there by your side?
You can count on me.
When you’re hurt,
When you scream,
There’s a hope, there’s a dream.
Harmony, harmony,
In all you do, in all you see,
Harmony, sweet harmony,
We all need sweet harmony, oh.
When you’re hurt,
When you scream,
There’s a hope, there’s a dream.
Harmony, harmony,
In all you do, in all you see,
Harmony, sweet harmony,
In all you do, in all you see,

There’s a cloak, like the night, that surrounds us, and you’ve locked your emotions inside,
In the darkness, your heart is the prisoner who waits to be tried,
There’s a tower in which you are captive; you look out, but you never look in,
Carved in stone ‘round you heart is a list of your ten secret sins.
Hardened hearts tell no lies,
You can see through your disguise,
Hardened hearts, you can’t hide,
Can’t go on living this way.
There are people who won’t break their silence, there are people who won’t break at all,
Again and again, they refuse to acknowledge his call,
There are those who will chose isolation,
The hurt and the fear will subside, but you’ve hardened your hearts to the truth you will always deny.
Hardened hearts tell no lies,
You can see through your disguise,
Hardened hearts, you can’t hide,
Can’t go on living this way.
Still you’ve hardened your hearts to the truth you will always deny.
Hardened hearts tell no lies,
Can’t go on living this way,
Hardened hearts tell no lies,
He can see through your disguise,
Hardened hearts, you can’t hide,
Blinded by your foolish pride,
Hardened hearts tell no lies,
He can see through your disguise,
Hardened hearts, you can’t hide,
Don’t you know he’s on your side?

CHORUS
Another feather in your cap
Another jewel in your crown
You were headed for disaster
But you turned your life around and that's a feather in your cap
You were the one who could always be counted on to lie
You'd sell your only sister just to grab another line
Another one trick pony gettin' trickier all the time
Your life didn't have no weight the way you'd lay it on the line
You'd run until your problems got insurmountable
You even got your partners thinkin' you're so credible
But then you dropped down to the bottom, you finally had enough
When you're shoved down bottom there ain't no place else but up
And that's a feather in your cap
Feather in your cap
Chorus
Now I believe there's a devil and the way he runs his show
Is to fasten to your passion then he'll never let you go
He got the power from down under, but it's power just the same
The only way to shake it is to call on Jesus' name
Coke, crack, cracker-jack, I want it understood
The brother wouldn't do it if it didn't feel so good
But if you read it in the bible ‘bout the awesome price you pay
You claim the Holy Spirit then just turn and walk away
Feather in your cap
Feather in your cap
Chorus
You think you know it all
You want to take it higher but you're gonna take a fall
I ain't never been no sucker, I think I've seen it all
You're running out of time, hit me
Think about your mother, think about your life
You look like Alice Cooper but you act like Barney Fife
You were voted by your homies most likely to exceed
You pushed it to the limit now you wound up on your knees
Feather in your cap

He's only 16 and playing it cool
Stealing your heart and breaking all the rules
He's going find out he's playing the fool
His time is looking sad to me
He's got that act down cool just like James Dean
One way or another he's going wind up on his knees
(chorus)
The Devil Is A liar
Man you're going get burned
The Devil Is A liar
I think its time that you learned
The Devil Is A liar, liar, liar
She barely 15 and acting 25
Staying out late and attracting desire
She's moving way too fast and flying too high
Like Marylin Monroe and Lois Lane
When she finds out the truth, there's going be hell to pay (yeah baby)
The innocence lost is never regained
(repeat chorus numerous times)
You're playing now with fire
Devil is a liar

Come to the family, come to the family,
Come let your heart find a heavenly home,
Come to the family, come to the family,
Calling you and me to the family of God.
Come to the Father, come to the Father,
Come let your heart find a heavenly home,
Come to the Father, come to the Father,
Calling you and me to the family of God.
He’s calling you, (he’s calling you)
He’s calling me, (he’s calling me)
Oh, can’t you see we could be like children again?
He’s calling you, (he’s calling you)
He’s calling me, (he’s calling me)
Oh, can’t you see we can be like children again?
Come to the river, come to the river,
Come let your heart find a heavenly home.
Come to the family, come to the family,
Come let your heart find a heavenly home,
Come to the family, come to the family,
Calling you and me to the family of God,
Come to the family, come to the family,

Got a 10 pound bible
I read it every day
Get down on my knees
When it's time to pray
I don't chase pretty women
I'm a family man
Love my neighbor just as best as I can
Cause I can
(chrous)
I'm a Christian man my brother
Everybody knows I am
I got $10 million dollars
In the bank of God
Got me a mansion
Heh, heh that ain't all
I get so excited
Love to jump and shout
Got to tell the world what it's all about
(repeat chrous)
Bridge:
I'm a Christian man
That's all I am
That's all I will be

Now Jim and Tammy Bakker there's a real earth shaker
Got popped for havin' too much fun
Started actin' kin of funny, spent everybody's money
But he got thirty years for his day in the sun, he got
Carried away, he's an excitable boy
Carried away, there ain't no coppin', no stopping when you're carried away
Now we all shouted reveille when my brother Stevie C.
Said the “S” word in a magazine
Now he shouldn't had a done it, but they shouldn't had a run it
Cause a little bitty think can cause a great big scene
Carried away, tryin' to speak his mind
Carried away, that boy was right on time
There ain't no coppin', no stoppin' when you're carried away, topper!
Well now you better be believin' when they open up the ceilin'
Baby, somethin'gonna hit the fan
Now brother I ain't lyin', we'll all commence to flyin'
And we'll land, ping ding, in the promise land and get
Carried away, you best believe
Carried away, we'll all commence to leavin'

The downpour’s coming; it’s on the rise,
Where the river runs above the cold, dark sand,
The rain is falling on the desert tonight,
There’s a voice in the river, and the faithful understand,
I just can’t believe my eyes tonight; what an awesome sight,
But I know that everything’s gonna be alright.
Because you…you can’t stop the river,
You can’t hold back the rain,
Can’t stop the power,
You won’t feel any pain,
And when the water rushes over you, you start your life again,
You can’t stop the river, oh.
The sky is turning; the dreamers awake,
I hear the angel voices rising with the flood,
My heart is pounding with the thunder above,
The clouds begin to cry as the river turn to blood,
I just can’t believe my eyes tonight; what a beautiful sight,
But I know that everything’s gonna be alright.
Because you…you can’t stop the river,
You can’t hold back the rain,
Can’t stop the power,
You won’t feel any pain,
And when the water rushes over you, you start your life again,
You can’t stop the river,
You can’t stop the river.
I just can’t believe my eyes tonight; what a beautiful sight,
Now I know that everything’s gonna be alright.
Can’t stop the river,
You can’t hold back the rain, no, no, no,
Can’t stop the power,
You won’t feel any pain,
And when the water rushes over you, you start your life again,
You can’t stop the river,
You can’t stop the river,
You can’t stop the river,
You can’t stop the river,
You can’t stop it.
You can’t stop the river,
You can’t stop the river,
You can’t stop the river,
Can’t stop it,
You can’t stop the river,
You can’t stop the river,

Mama says you're brain dead, bang your head against the wall
Can't find peace of mind, brain need an overhaul
Bone head, brain dead, we're all the same
You can't think straight when your heart is in pain
Turn around, hit the ground, time to lay your burden down
You'll never be enough now might as well give it up
You're playin' round with fire if you think that you're tough enough
Good guys, bad boys, we're all the same
You can't buy love when the price has been paid
Turn around, hit the ground, time to lay your burden down
Don't you forget now that somebody died for you
I'm tellin' you the truth man, I ain't gonna lie to you
Good guys, bad boys, we're all the same
Saved by grace is the name of the game

(Chorus)
All Day, All Night
You got the power
To make it right
You got the power
To Make a Change in me
It started this morning, I was watching the news
Some guy going on and on about his political views
Man, there's people starving, and thousands dying
Sometimes I feel The Whole weight of the world
And I just start cring,
Somebody out to do something
I can't find my keys
Where am I going anyway
Somehow I wound up on my knees
I felt so helpless, I don't know what to say
So I closed my eyes and I started to pray
(Chorus)
I started to feel better
Then I guess I started to get mad
Thinking about all the time I've wasted
And all the chances I've had
Who am I kidding, Who do I think I am
Some "holier then thou"
I'm a sinful man, I know I ain't perfect
After all I've done and said
But I do believe in grace, That's my daily bread
And I'm fed up with this world And all it's little lies
I just gotta talk to you and bring it all down to size

[WJ:] Yo this mic is on?
The wickedest combination in the world!
[WI:] No doubt, Poor Righteous Teachers, Refugees, you know what I'm saying?
[Pras]
Walk around in the record industry
I'm looking at all the Pharasees
Asking me where I'm going
All I know is one day that Babylon will be fallen
They welcome me into Jerusalem
Eighty niggas highly crucial by Ham
I got my .45 by my side
Just in case another nigga tests me someone's gonna die
[Wyclef Jean]
Bo bo so bo I leave the boat for the pope
Smoke mad weed but not touch Bayley Coke
Primary purpose of the set
Is to present techniques and guided practice
And forced access to forfeit
Emcees lose focus
Wyclef to accomplish throwing crumbs in the hell pit
Vocabulary, comprehension, steady reading and critical analyzing
Techniques to enable DJ's to interact with my material
Play it on your turntable scratch it if you're able
Characteristics, circumstances
Will determine how long you live Mr. actor, Mrs. actress
[Pras]
I act will snatch gats from kids with packed back black raps
In an Ac to get with that
[LH:] Ah ah ah ah
[WI:] Easy!
[Wise Intelligent]
Black people say I represent when I get my chance
But when I'm rippin' to this beat, yo it's my nubian dance
That I be doing
Around these suckers' titles that I ruin
Although you do not like the flow you should not have been booing
Now you and your crew had better get your act together
Before I have to cut the fool release the stormy weather
Whatever you say, but nigga pop your shit my way
And you'll be screaming "Mercy me" like if your name was Marvin Gaye
Now put it away and stay the fuck up out my face
I smack you in the mouth homeboy and you'll be missing taste
What a waste to everything existing up till now
So many claiming butter but just don't be knowing how
[LH:] Ah ah ah
[WI:] So my selector, come with the rhythm!
[Pras]
For sure I'm law to be the poor righteous conscious
You might just feel thrust when I touch like Midas
My toungue is gigantic, lyrics are tremendous
Wyclef and Pras they drop hits wherever they goes like Gladys
Catch the midnight train to Georgia
As my tongue does a dropkick like Sgt. Slaughter
New world order, you lions who are trying to roar
I'll silence you lambs like Jodie Foster
There's no need to feel sentimental
Parental guidance is advised for those who despise
The Wise and Intelligent, Refugees, immigrants
[LH:] Ah ah ah ah
[WI:] My selector, Culture Freedom lay the wickedest basslines
[Wise Intelligent]
May...I... kick a little something for the G-O-D's in the J-E-R-S-E-Y
Because you niggas know me I'm the da gan ya dee
Sixteen five four three five coincide freak wise
Time you recognize who run up in the nine
Rush like water raw cuts in your guts
Trails from Rozelle oh hell we rock bells
Live as Stuyvesant, Wise and them, rise again
The Gods A.V.G. they'll bomb Washin-
No man 'em trouble they jet something
Don't make me have to kick you on your God damned chin
I'll frappe you in your head with bottle of Heinekein
Mister Wise
[Lauryn Hill]
OK, ha
My intellect will protect what you threaten
Captain to Lieutenant, even take cadets in
I take them all rich and to the powerful
Don't fear no other force I be defining your hardcore
The folklore you spread down over tracks
Got you gassed off some shit may I suggest Ex-Lax
Relax! Your whole perception seems to be distorted
In my dimensions fake refugees get deported
Jokers be biting each other's styles so much it's eerie
So many deja vu's but can't no other crews come near me
It's weary, my brothers couldn't hold this if they grasped it
Confession to Jesus are even tried to master
I passed it off the levels of your mere mathematics
I'm on some astrophysics Quantum Leaping on your tactics
Triple bypasses, your crew's slow as molasses
While I amass cream like Jackie Kennedy Onassis
Ah ah ah ah
Refugee P.R.T. connect
New Jersey, this is how we do it
[WI:] If hip hop was a thing that money could not buy
The righteous would never live and the righteous would never die
Poor Righteous teachers and Refugees come to testify
We world sexy style

Allies fire in the Sky
Splinters in the eye
Don't know any better
Keep your arsenal at bay
Live another day
Pull yourself together
Every war you want to win
There's nothing to defend
Nothing to surrender
I don't want to fight alone
No one does
Hey, look high and we look low
We never find our enemy
We never find our enemy
Somehow this war is out of control
We never find our enemy
We're gunning down whatever breathes
Last try, cross enemy lines
Look out for the mines
Buried in the mirror
Fall out, target's on the move
Coming into view
Coming in clearer
By now, there's no one else around
Narrowing it down
I guess I got to figure
One war is all I can afford
No more
Hey, look high and we look low
We never find our enemy
We never find our enemy
Somehow this war is out of control
We never find our enemy
We're gunning down whatever breathes
There we go
Wasting lives one way or another
There we go
