was up shawty
was up
you got some pretty hair
thank you you know i got a little bit of spanish in me

We've been knowing each other
For many a year, it's true
And I can't think of anyone else
Can make me feel as good as you
Yeah you, you make my day
A little bit brighter in every way
I'm so glad to have you
In this old troubled time
When true love and understanding, child
Are so hard to find
Yes you, you make my way
A little bit brighter every day
Some people live in darkness
Their whole life through
I just know that I'd have been one of them
If it hadn't have been for you
Now sometimes I feel afraid
As we all tend to do
But I think of the loving good times we've had
And I know we're gonna make it through
'Cause you, you make my day
A little bit brighter in every way
Hey, hey
Now you, you make my day
Hey, a little bit brighter in every
Every, every, every way
Now you, you make my day
A little bit brighter in every way

Ich bin geduldig
Allzeit bereit
Ich warte nur, bis wiedermal ein ..Ich war nie tot
Ich halt mich versteckt
Bis man endlich wieder meine Nützlichkeit entdeckt
Ich leb in vielen Herzen
Fest verankert im Zorn
Durch jeden Türkenwitz
Wird ein Stück von mir gebor'n
Massenarbeitslosigkeit haucht mir Leben ein
Ich fresse kleine Löcher ins Gewissen rein
Das ... der Asylanten schon
Die Stimmung schwärzt sich auf
Die Sprüche in der Kneipe
Den Kampf nicht aufzubauen
Bin Meister der Imagonie
Ich hasse klare Köpfe, lieben Massenhysterie
Tanzt nur weiter so
Bis der Wind sich dreht
Tanzt nur weiter so
Tanzt alles aus dem Weg
Den Geist, den ihr gerufen habt, werdet ihr nicht
Ich lege meine Samen in jeden warmen Schoss
Wendet euch nach rechts zum Sprung
Das alles mit dem neuen deutschen Schwung
Zieht euch schöne Kleider an
Tanzt meine Symphonie
Durch euer Beispiel zwinge ich die Zweifler in die Knie
Freuet euch des Lebens, bequem und angenehm
Die Endlösung gibt's für jedes Problem
Tanzt nur weiter so
Bis der Wind sich dreht
Tanzt nur weiter so
Tanzt alles aud dem Weg
Tanzt nur weiter so
Bis der Wind sich dreht
Tanzt nur weiter so
Tanzt alles aus dem Weg
Tanzt nur weiter so
Bis der Wind sich dreht
Tanzt nur weiter so
Tanzt alles aus dem Weg
Tanzt nur weiter so
Bis der Wind sich dreht
Tanzt nur weiter so
Tanzt alles aus dem Weg
Bis der Wind sich dreht ...

As I walk along these shores
I am the history within
As I climb the mountainside
Breaking Eden again
Dark the day, dark the night
The warring dust, the morning tribe
Crushed by a million suns
Hear the heart of you lies
Over land and sea
I'll come fighting for you
Over land and sea
A dawn is breaking before us
Proterra, take this hand
The open wound, the promised land
Breaking the waves, spread the oars

I've laid my hands upon your soul
To feel your demons inside me
As vacant people passed me by
They told me things I can't believe
This secret mission I possess
Releasing things I cannot see
Embers to ashes, dirt to dust
And within this gift I now conceive
In the fallen rain
I can see your face
Even though it's not the same
In the fallen rain
The blood still stains
As our bruises wash away
I can finally believe
Can you see what I've unleashed?
I beg for you to set me free
Will you accept this desperate plea?
In the fallen rain
I can see your face
Even though it's not the same
In the fallen rain
The blood still stains
As our bruises wash away
Well I can feel the piercing stare that's coming from your eyes
And Im Surrounded by the sound of distant shrieks and cries
In a darkened calm before the storm begins to rise
I put aside my hopes and dreams so I can survive
In the fallen rain
I can see your face
Even though it's not the same
In the fallen rain
The blood still stains

Ich hab nen bösen Bruder
Der sieht aus wie ich
Und für alles Schlechte
Beschuldigt man mich
Er ist nicht sehr witzig
Er ist nicht sehr nett
Und leider ist er oft so
Wie ich's nicht gern hätt'
Ich hab nen bösen Bruder
Der ist komisch drauf
Und macht uns viele Feinde
Das nimmt er in Kauf
Er schlägt, wenn er wütet
Alles kurz und klein
Er ist ätzend und neidisch
Ein echtes Schwein
Ein echtes Schwein
Schaut mich nicht so an
Als wär ich ein Luder
Und wenn ihr euch beschweren wollt
Dann wendet euch
[3x] An meinen Bruder (An meinen Bruder)
Ich hab nen bösen Bruder
Der weiß ganz genau
Wo die Leute schön verletzbar sind
Er ist die größte Sau
Er packt sie bei ihren Schwächen
Und tritt mit seinem Fuß
Bis ihre Knochen brechen
Es ist mir zum Verdruß
Er ist laut und gemein
Nicht nur das eine Mal
Und immer muß ich geradestehen
Für seine verkommene Moral
Ich kann mich nicht dagegen wehren
Muß büßen für seine Sünden
Hab oft versucht ihn zu bekehren
Ihn aufgefordert
Zu verschwinden
Ich hab nen bösen Bruder
Und der wohnt in mir drin
So kann ich ihn nicht stoppen
Das hat wirklich keinen Sinn
Neulich hatte ich genug
Ich versuchte ihn zu schlagen
Ich konnte ihn nicht fassen
So mußte ich mich vertragen...
Mit meinem Bruder
[3x] Mit meinem Bruder (Mit meinem Bruder)

This is it, this is what I've found
This is the final statement
The one that's always bound
It's all predestined by forces so unknown
Watching your every move behind a curtained wall
At one point I thought I had control
Like an idiot, I listened to my thoughts
I got caught, had to lose it all
Superficial things, taken for truths
What's behind it all?
This is it, this is what I've found
This is the final statement
The one that's always bound
What can't I see? Can I believe?
I was brought, brought into it all
Like an idiot, I listened to my thoughts
What can't I see? (pure ether)
Can I believe? (guaranteed to blow your mind)
Can I believe? (guaranteed to blow your mind)
Can I believe?
Can I believe?
Can I believe?
Pure ether, guaranteed to blow your mind
Pure ether, all your deeds controlled up high
All your deeds controlled up high
Channeled by immortal minds
All your deeds controlled up high
Channeled by immortal minds
This is it, this is what I've found
Inferior to the other kind
Break on through the other side
Inferior to the other kind
Break on through the other side
Watching your every move
Forces on the other side
Watching your every move
Forces on the other side

So this is how it goes
Well I, I would have never known
And if it ends today
Well I'll still say that you shine brighter than anyone
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well, it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please, not this time, no, not this time
Well this is not your fault
But if I'm without you then I will feel so small
And if you have to go
We'll always know that you shine brighter than anyone does
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well, it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please, not this time, no, not this time
If you run away now
Will you come back around?
And if you ran away
I'd still wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well, it's not this hard
But if you take what's your's and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please, not this time, no, not this time
I'll wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright
(You shine bright, you shine bright)

Trapped inside this mortal body
My wish is his command unknowingly
Forever it seems since I was free
My urge is growing stronger
I want to Slay them myself
Just like it used to be
Placed on earth to satisfy the need
To breed the bodies for Dark supremacy
Once I also was one of those
Whom I now seek to bring back with me
Come with me, come Die with me
I offer you Eternity
Mission accomplished one more sent down
So I search for another host
You who are descents of holy seed
Will always be the only target for me
Come with me, come Die with me

What's this
That I see
Have you turned yourself from thee
You are not
What you portray
Any longer.
Well
There it is
No more comfort
Will comfort me
You are not
What you appear
Anymore.
Let it not subside
That beacon falls from your eyes
There's nothing left but change
Well
Quietly
My eyes quality
"sight to see"
You are not
What you appear any longer.
Let it not subside
That beacon fallen from your eyes
There's nothing left but change
What was, what will be
Have you turned yourself from me
You are not
What you appear to be
Any longer.
Longer
Look at you
You wouldn't do this to... me
Well
Quietly
My eyes ???
"sight to see"
You are not
What you appear
Any longer.
Longer, ohhhhhhh
If, by chance, you come for me
I won't slip away
If, by chance, you come for me
I won't slip away
From you
Me...

Me and my brother hikin'
Me and my brother might find a turtle,
Just have some fun.
Me, and my Brother playing with our dog;
two mighty men with a wolf,
who drinks from the gulf.
Cool, calm water will bring back our voice to Mother.
cool, calm water bring your voices back..
I fell down in a creek bed.
Brother wept.
In his face I met fear;
that I could die right there.
Now I've grown bold and lonely,
i shoulda stayed with dear brother,
at home,
we grew up old.
Cool, calm water bring your voice back to mother
cool, calm water bring your voices back
cool, calm water bring your voice back to mother
cool, calm water bring your voices back
da da da da da
da da da da da da da
da da da
la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la
Cool, calm water bring your voice back to mother
cool, calm water bring your voices back
cool, calm water bring your voice back to mother
cool, calm water bring your voices
cool, calm water
cool, calm water

Es kam Mechmed Mustafa aus der Türkei,
so wollte es Allah,
da war er gerade zwei
In der Schule saß er neben mir
und ich fragte ihn:
"Sag wo kommst du her?"
"Das ist doch einerlei!"
Nicht genug, dass da ein Neuer kommt
wird er auch noch frech, darum kriegt er prompt eins mit dem Lineal
worauf gleich der Lehrer kommt
"Seid ihr bei Verstand,
gebt euch jetzt die Hand,
denn man ist gottlob zivilisiert in diesem Land!"
Refrain:
Wir waren wie Pech und Rock'n Roll
und uns war schlecht vom Alkohol,
waren auf die selben Mädchen scharf
und machten das, was man nie darf.
Ich sang die selben Lieder wie er,
wie Brüder waren wir.
Und ist es eine Ewigkeit her,
Brüder sind wir,
Brüder bleiben wir!
Gestern traf ich Mustafa,
als ich in seine Augen sah,
fing er zu weinen an:
"Auf einmal standen sie vor meinem Haus
und sie riefen lauthals 'Türken raus!'!
Wem hab ich was getan?"
"Ich bin hier solang ich denken kann,
warum spuckt man meine Kinder an,
warum schmiert man einen Halbmond an die Tür?
Ich hab auf einmal keine Freunde mehr
und sie sagen wieder 'Du' zu mir
doch nur aus Arroganz,
nicht weil sie Brüder sind wie wir!"
Refrain
"Du heißt Rainhard und ich Mechmed,
wegen diesem Unterschied
haben Häuser schon gebrannt!
Stehst du heute neben mir,
wie ein Bruder, denn das waren wir,
ein Herz und eine Hand!
Allah gebe uns Verstand!

This story began before I was born
A childless woman cried sadly at home
Her maid gave birth to a child of her own
My father felt joy yet he was torn
A conflict began one day at dawn
The maid took your hand and you were gone
To the desert you left, towards the unknown
I reckon you were so alone
God will hear you oh, my blood
For the years you roamed in dirt and mud
Forsaken like a nomad, deserted in the flood
Forgive me, brother
You did nothing wrong and took all the shame
I suffered myself, yet I am to blame
The lord blessed us both, but we still fight and claim
That kid on the mountain, - what was his name?
Brother hear my plea tonight
I grew tired from these endless years of (Our) fight
From a tiny corner stone we may build our realm of light

You'd trade our starving eyes for a tar and feathered heart
a 25cent execution
to hear your anthem praises played
on frequency decayed
a breath of frigid self-made winter.
Sing out and sing loud
we'll sing as loud as you do
and hold on hold on
cause this is the end of the line
I'm not falling.
Of beautiful and sacred things
and your immaculate disguise
I'm trading it in
for my pride war emblem.
As if id fall to pieces
in the wake of your design.
I'm not falling.
Sing out and sing loud
we'll sing as loud as you do
and hold on hold on
cause this is the end of the line

They said you knew how to kill and how to maim
They lied, you tried, bend the truth, they won't allow mistakes
You're alive and doing good
Just as long as you can hunt
You will be like this forever
You're never coming home
They said you would get the best of everything
They lied, you tried, every day they laughed at you
Death, my brother, I told him never to go there
Remorse, my bother, they had him taken on his way to war
War- he's taken ill
War- and then some more
War- it's everyday
War- it's everywhere
Still alive and feeling well, wont you come and join us
We will be here for a while, our time is all we've got
We're alive and feeling well, do we wanna change this
What the hell is going on, do we deserve the pain
So they said you will defend your country in every way
But they lied, and they tried to hold you into their pride
Hate, my brother its waiting for a no good cause
Belive, my brother, one day you will come back home from war
War- he still exists
War- he's nothing more
War- he's had enough
War- can take no more
We're alive and feeling well, do we wanna change this
What the hell is going on, do we deserve the pain
Dead, my brother, I told him never to go there

BARE TREE
your face comes back
through cracks in usual days
I understand
walk on and look away
I'm killing time
I know there's nothing to wait for
rewriting my lines
I'll make my decisions tomorrow
there's so much to think about
I'll close my eyes just like the doll-house windows
I'll stop that image from coming back to life
a bare tree in love with the winter
I'll make my mind up another time
I turn my back
on hope, whatever it is
I won't lose track
of just how I got to be here
I will renounce
my faith in reunion
I'll relearn how
to embrace things like before
I'll learn how to part with doubts
I'll close my eyes just like the doll-house windows
I'll stop that image from coming back to life
a bare tree in love with the winter
I'll make my mind up another time
and what if there is no oneness
it can't give your existence meaning
another empty concept
the end's etched into the beginning
I'll close my eyes just like the doll-house windows
I'll stop that image from coming back to life
a bare tree in love with the winter
I'll make my mind up another time
I'll close my eyes just like the doll-house windows
I'll stop that image from coming back to life
a bare tree in love with the winter

VERSE ONE:
There's a brand new sun
Hanging in the sky today
It's been there every morning
When I pull back the curtains
And open up the shades
It hit me without warning
Maybe it's my point of view
But everything has changed since I met You
CHORUS:
Now life is sparkling
And love is glistening
I'm finding everything
Looks a whole lot brighter
Not a day goes by
Without a clear blue sky
And You're the reason why
It looks a whole lot brighter
Na na na na na na
VERSE TWO:
The clouds of the past
Do their best to block the sun
Casting shadows
But the light of Your love
Makes the darkness turn and run
And I'm standing in its glow
It's like nothing I've ever seen
It's like the sun is following me
(repeat Chorus)
Na na na na na na (x3)
(repeat Chorus)

Paul Kelly (Mushroom)
Where is your husband?
I've seen him digging snow
Blowing on his blue hands
With yards and yards to go
You're wild you're wild
You're wild
He's just a child
It's getting brighter all the time
It's getting brighter all the time
Where is your lover boy?
I heard him on the radio
Singing a lover's story
Then the music turned to snow
You're wild you're wild
You're wild
He's just a child
It's getting brighter all the time
It's getting brighter all the time
Here comes your law man
He's coming through fields of snow
With his pistol in his pants
And only yards to go
You're wild you're wild
You're wild
He's just a child
It's getting brighter all the time

T. Bengoetxea
Poemas que no leí
Paisajes que perdí
Recorriendo mil calles a solas
Prometiéndome partir
El corazón herido de tanto no sentir
Y de pronto el calor entero
de tu voz que vuelve a mí
Quisiera abrirte el alma y compartir
Quisiera darte el cielo que hay en mí
Volar a lo más alto y descubrir
Aquello que aún nos queda por sentir
Si tu mirar supiera mentir, que no es así
Si tu boca al rozarme huyera
Ya no habría más que decir
La soledad dormida, una puerta a medio abrir
Y un te quiero fundido en vida
Un te quiero tan sólo a tí
Quisiera abrirte el alma y compartir
Quisiera darte el cielo que hay en mí
Volar a lo más alto y descubrir
Aquello que aún nos queda por sentir
Aquello que aún nos queda por sentir
Por sentir
Por sentir

the night is darkest just before dawn, so we search for brighter days. trudging fields of deceit. this will be the day of amelioration. if we are granted a clear sky. where we can look up and admire all that you are without a storm in the way. there's been so many storms as of late. i know nothing but rain. dry up our eyes. dry up our lives. dry up the rain. the storm is inside me. with so many storms around me, it's no surprise that when i see the sun i begin to squint my eyes. i can't handle it all at once, so i let it in slowly. and bask in my saving grace. (i need Your sun to dry up the rain.)

Verse 1
Du bist mein Bruder, im Blute vereint
Wohin Du gehst, gehe auch ich.
Rücken an Rücken umzingelt vom Feind,
Die Schwerter funkeln hell im Licht.
Doch ich kann spüren, wie Deine Kraft Dich verläßt,
Du sinkst zusammen auf die Knie.
Kommst nicht mehr hoch, irgendwas hält Dich fest,
so hilflos sah ich Dich noch nie.
Was Dich auch hält, Du kannst dem nicht widerstehen,
sinkst immer tiefer in den Sumpf.
Ich will es töten, doch ich kann es nicht sehen,
und meine Waffen sind zu stumpf.
Nur Du allein kannst Dich jetzt noch befreien,
wenn Du nicht kämpfst sterben wir Beide.
Was es auch ist, so mächtig kann es nicht sein,
drum zieh Dein Schwert aus seiner Scheide.
Reff
Steh auf !!!!!
Verse 2
Ich schlage um mich, ohnmächtig und blind,
doch es liegt nicht in meinen Händen.
Ich bin so hilflos unds o schwach wie ein Kind
Kann deine Qualen nicht beenden.
Der Feind so mächtig, er wird Dich besiegen,
gewissenlos ohne erbarmen.
Du streckst die Waffen, die Schlacht ist entschieden,
ich halt Dich fest in meinen Armen.
Die Zeit verfliegt, die Ewigkeit ein Augenblick.
So Vieles wird mir plötzlich klar.
Die Wut verwandelt sich in Trauer, Stück für Stück,
denn Nichts wird sein wie es mal war.
Du schaust mich an, ich kann’s in deinen Augen sehen
Das Schicksal trennt uns jetzt und hier.
Wohin du gehst, können wir nicht gemeinsam gehen,
doch du bleibst stets ein Teil von mir.
Reff
Steh auf !!!!!
Bridge 1
Was ist los, warum kämpfst Du nicht mehr ?
Warum setzt Du Dich nicht mehr zur Wehr ?
Laß Dich führen, zieh mit mir in die Schlacht,
so wie wir es schon immer gemacht.
Bridge 2
Nimm meinen Mut, meine Kraft, meinen Zorn.
Noch haben wir diesen Krieg nicht verloren.
Wir sind Beide zum kämpfen geboren.

[Verse 1: Mr. Cheeks]
I thought I'd write this one for you, ain't seen you in a while
Staring at your picture wishing I was wit cha, miss ya smile
And when I'm wit cha it's like I don't wanna leave again
Without you listen I don't wanna breathe again
You give me a lot and everyday you giving more
So there's no need to tell you who or what I'm living for
I miss ya very much shit I miss ya every touch
And I know you'd come through for me in the clutch
I'm on the road with my peeps and I know I'm moving
But yet the time we spend together that's so soothing
Love it how we do shit I pour a drink for ya
You pour a drink for me and always think of me
I call you when you when I'm home I know you bored and all alone
I wanna come and scope you up and place you in the zone
But we could be together on the right now
Cuddle on the couch, watch some TV, turn the lights down
That's what's up...
[Chorus: Alexander O'Neal]
Cloudy was the day when sunshine came into my life, and made it brighter
(I can't go a day without my lover)
She's touching me with her warmness as the light shine from her smile
She makes me happy...
(I can't go a day without my lover)
[Verse 2: Mr. Cheeks]
I know I put you through some shit but yet you stayed with me
Messing with them other chicks it's only games they play with me
Searching for something I had with me all the time
I made a change, my love to you I'm giving all of mine
Send you cards in the mail to show you that I care
Shit a life without you is the only thing I fear
So I'm a make sure a nigga hold it down for
The foundation wishing I could be around more
But you know the drama gotta keep a nigga running
I bugged out with the crew it's only you I'm wanting
Call you on the horn to hear you on the other end
"Mental hugging giving my loving to no other men"
This one's personal so keep it close to you
Be there for each other that's what we supposed to do
And anything you want I make sure you get it
And anything you into babygirl you know I'm wit it
Holla when you ready for me...
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Mr. Cheeks]
Yeah, listen don't mean to burn your ear out
But this is something you should hear out
Right now
Shit I'd give you the world
I'm a make it home to my babygirl someway or somehow
Ain't afraid to tell ya how your fella feel cuz your fellas real
And on the real girl you're hella chill
I hope you get the message by the end of this
Wanted you from the start, from the heart I'm sending this
This my last gig I'm on my way home
And we can go and paint the town or we can stay home
It don't matter what we do as long as I'm wit you
Spend some time wit you, you know what I'm a do
Get it on wit you just like the first time
There's no need for this man to rehearse mine
Superstar wit ya, back-to-back and far wit ya
Without a doubt I'm going all out for wit ya

I've laid my hands upon your soul
To feel your demons inside me
As vacant people passed me by
They told me things I can't believe
This secret mission I possess
Releasing things I cannot see
Embers to ashes, dirt to dust
And within this gift I now conceive
In the fallen rain
I can see your face
Even though it's not the same
In the fallen rain
The blood still stains
As our bruises wash away
I can finally believe
Can you see what I've unleashed?
I beg for you to set me free
Will you accept this desperate plea?
In the fallen rain
I can see your face
Even though it's not the same
In the fallen rain
The blood still stains
As our bruises wash away
Well I can feel the piercing stare that's coming from your eyes
And Im Surrounded by the sound of distant shrieks and cries
In a darkened calm before the storm begins to rise
I put aside my hopes and dreams so I can survive
In the fallen rain
I can see your face
Even though it's not the same
In the fallen rain
The blood still stains

I'm gonna let my walls come down,
Hold my breath until I drown,
Take me up with a bottle of gin,
Oh my brother let me in
Walking through this desert town,
I found my brother on the ground,
I said take my hand and I'll pick you up,
Take you to a place where the waters rough
Cause we're all dreaming of waking up
I'll tell you now again,
My brother you're my friend,
Though sticks and stones may break my bones,
I'll be here till the end,
My brother you're my friend
Five years gone since father passed,
You told yourself this draught won't last,
Well I stood by and watched the rain,
Swear the skies will clear someday
And the sun will shine on your parade
I'll tell you now again,
My brother you're my friend,
Though sticks and stones may break my bones,
I'll be here till the end,
My brother you're my friend
I'll be here till the end,

Your mother helped you move
Made your transition smooth
Your community was there
The youthful faces, pretty hair
You were surrounded, by your peers
Then one day you saw it
You went home and tried to draw it
You couldn't get it quite right
Its luminescence was so strangely bright
Living in a fantasy
Of toxicity (toxic-ly)
You're rubbing up against the veneer of disease
You didn't know, you didn't ask you know that its easy
But you don't care you like it that way
Being taken by surprise
And narrowly narrowly narrowly
Avoiding your demise
A year later, early one morning
You woke up coughing you poor thing
Turned on the radio, but it wasn't active
There was a blackout, it was radioactive
So your mother came to get you
Because that's what mothers do
Left your neighborhood in pieces
Reduced to rubble and debris
Driving back to the suburbs in her SUV
Watched it on TV
In your fathers den of iniquity
And you changed the channel
When you saw your old friend

The city lights shine so bright in the sky at night
When the sun goes down for the evening
(Down for the evening)
The palm trees sway with the breeze under these conditions
I think I?m thanking God for the seasons
'Cause he?s all that I?m searching for, that?s right
So give him your burdens and get your body on the dance floor
(Come on now!)
Ooh ooh, things are getting brighter and brighter
And brighter and brighter and brighter
Ooh ooh, my burden's getting lighter and lighter
And lighter and lighter and lighter
Ooh ooh, things are getting brighter and brighter
And brighter and brighter and brighter
Ooh ooh, my burden's getting lighter and lighter
And lighter and lighter and lighter
Before G O D my burden was heavy I had no reason for living
(Reason for living)
But then he gave me eyes to see everything inside of me
That held me back from this freedom
'Cause he?s all that I?m searching for, that?s right
So give him your burdens and get your body on the dance floor
(Come on now!)
Ooh ooh, things are getting brighter and brighter
And brighter and brighter and brighter
Ooh ooh, my burden's getting lighter and lighter
And lighter and lighter and lighter
Ooh ooh, things are getting brighter and brighter
And brighter and brighter and brighter
Ooh ooh, my burden's getting lighter and lighter
And lighter and lighter and lighter
Ooh ooh, things are getting brighter and brighter
And brighter and brighter and brighter
Ooh ooh, my burden's getting lighter and lighter
And lighter and lighter and lighter
Ooh ooh, things are getting brighter and brighter
And brighter and brighter and brighter
Ooh ooh, my burden's getting lighter and lighter
And lighter and lighter and lighter
Praise Jesus, Hallelujah, praise Jesus, come on, come on
Praise Jesus, Hallelujah, praise Jesus, come on, come on
Praise Jesus, Hallelujah, praise Jesus, come on, come on
Praise Jesus, Hallelujah, praise Jesus, come on, come on
(Give Him praise)
Praise Jesus, Hallelujah, praise Jesus, come on, come on
(Give Him praise)
Praise Jesus, Hallelujah, praise Jesus, come on, come on
Come on and praise His name, praise You, Jesus, praise You, Jesus
Give Him praise
(Praise Jesus, Hallelujah, praise Jesus, come on, come on)
Give Him praise

Isn’t it strange
Back here again
The red brick house and all the trees
I climbed then
Nothing changed
Same as before
The only thing I see is you’re

I can tell you've been crying
It's alright I am here
To make you smile
Even for a while
Let me hold you
Let me hold you now
I'll be yours for the asking
Say the words
I'll be your friend
And I'll be listening I'll be listening well
Tell me anything
I'll understand
Refrain:
And I will catch you
When you're falling
Down, down, down
I will watch you
'Til you get your feet back on the ground
If you fall down again
Call my name
I'll catch you once again
I'll be yours for the asking
Say the words
I'll be your friend
And I'll be listening I'll be listening well
Tell me anything
I'll understand
Refrain
(and again, again)
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me how
I'll find a way to be with you somehow
Hooh?
Refrain

brother
these shotguns are keeping me awake at night
- you know i'm praying then for you
brother
and everything they say is so black and white
- it is the way that they get you
you left me here, like a pearl inside its shell
brother
if anything, get me out of here
i am here for you
like you want me to
we'll make everything good
brother
tell me what it is that's going wrong with me
- i don't know right from wrong myself
i've got shotguns hanging in the air all around me
one is sticking right out of my
mouth and it's letting no one close to me
i feel lonely, like a pearl inside its shell
brother
help me out of here
remember...
birds and fishes around the pond we rested by
words and wishes secrets that we shared that night
trees and flowers faces in the pale moonlight
streets and towers places where we went at night
