FEAR

I smell the fear that rains inside

The thought of children who must oblige

To tainted dreams and polluted seas

The missing moon and melting trees

A mist of doom and clouds of pain

A toxic waste and an acid rain

The passing of our ignorance

A lifetime spent in abstinence

I living in fear, I living in fear

I can’t tell you no lies

I living in fear, I living in fear

Conditioned to hate and them to blame

Their search for God is just the same

Machines for hearts, how warped a view

Forgeting that they’re human too

Waiting like a branded steer

Who first will launch the burning spear

When every day may be your last

You think we’d learn from our past

I living in fear, I living in fear I can’t tell you no lies

I living in fear, I living in fear Ouh yeah yeah yeah yeah

I smell the fear that rains inside

The thought of so many lives denied

More wounded soldiers, another burning flag

And rows and rows of body bags

No time for tears as the night falls cold

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The day survivors crawl back in their holes

As for the rest they’re shipped back home

Home to the rows of white tomb stones

I living in fear, I living in fear

I can’t tell you no, tell you no lies, yeah yeah

Fear, I living in fear Ouh yeah yeah yeah yeah

DOES ANYBODY OUT THERE EVEN CARE

The dream is lost Don’t let it slip away

Or bloody days won’t be far away

'Cause when there’s no more sun

There’s no where you can run

Does anybody know how many lives we’ve lost

Can anybody ever pay the cost

What will it take for us to join in peace my friends

Does anybody out there even care

Wake up world before it’s too late

It’s time for love to conquer hate

And when the battle’s won We all can live as one

Does anybody know how many lives we’ve lost

Can anybody ever pay the cost

What will it take for us to join in peace my friends

Does anybody out there even care

Hey Riots in the streets, Men dressed in white sheets

Is that what we want Oh a little boy hanging from a tree

And a burning cross

If we can learn that we’re one we can overcome

Before this takes us all

We’d better catch ourselves before we fall

Does anybody know how many lives we’ve lost

Yeah hey hey hey

Can anybody ever pay the cost

What will it take for us to join in peace my friends

Does anybody out there even care

ROSEMARY

Little Mary was five years old

Her parents left her, she was out in the cold

Alone to live and find her way

In this great world of heartache and pain

Eyes of brown, matted locks of gold

Her flowered dress is tattered and soiled

Tear stained cheeks, her feet cold and bare

Who could have left a child so rare

Rosemary your day will come

He loved you so He gave His only son

Keep the faith in your soul Stay down on your knees

I’m begging you please Hold onto the beads at your heart

A burning heart and tired eyes

Howling winds for lullabys

No one there to soothe her fright

Nowhere to turn but the inward light

Because life is for believing

That your heart can turn to gold

All you need is Christ to receive it

There’s eternal life for every soul

Rosemary your day will come

He loved you so He gave His only son

Keep the faith in your soul Stay down on your knees

I’m begging you please Hold onto the beads at your heart

Rosemary, Rosemary He loves you

He needs you He wants you So don’t let him down

Singing Rosemary your day will come

He loved you so He gave His only son

Keep the faith in your soul

Stay down on your knees

I’m begging you please

Hold onto the beads at your heart

Yeah yeah, Rosemary, singing, Rosemary

Rosemary Rosemary, come on now yeah

Got to keep the faith yeah Keep the faith

Lord what’s the matter Am I lost

This life’s a disaster, what is the cause

Am I a junkie, what is my fate

Or am I a flunkie who doesn’t relate

Or am I a child so full of hate

Am I a doctor or even a priest

Or am I a rapist who needs a release

A psychotic prancer Times Square dancer

The mind can see as long as you’ll be

For real with yourself And you’ll forever be

Be, be, be, be You’ll forever be

Be, be, be, you'll forever you be You'll forever be

When you're real with yourself You’ll forever be

Lord what’s the matter am I insame

This life’s an illusion that’s all it remains

Are you listening, are you boss

Am I gonna make it up on that cross

Believe in Your name and You’ll forever be

Be, be, be, be You’ll forever be

Be, be, be, you'll forever be Ever be, ever be

You’ll forever be You’ll forever, ever, ever.

BLUES FOR SISTER SOMEONE

I know a girl who gets off

By sticking needles in her vein

Oh lord what a shame

She’s got no money so she turns tricks

And plays dirty games Oh Lord spare her pain

She’s got a baby in her belly

But she just don’t care

What will become of the pair

Oh Lord what can she do To get the shit out her hair

To get the shit out her hair Oh Lord It’s not fair

Blues for sister someone Oh Lord

EMPTY HANDS

He rode in town on a white horse

With nothing in his hands

He came to gather his people

And take them to their promised land

When he came he knew there would be bloodshed

But still no violence made his plans

He came to fight in a battle

With no guns or money

But with his empty hands

With his empty hands

They said hey boy what you lookin’at

As they eyed his dreaded mane

He said my father has sent me

I’ve come back to reclaim

The children whose hearts

Were so whole and pure

Now it’s you who’ll die in pain

So they lynched the man

Who fooled the word

And all the children gathered

In his empty hands

The children ..... empty hands

In his empty hands

With his empty hands

In his empty hands

In his empty hands

We’ve got to keep on praying

And one day we’ll see the light

I’ve been lost in the name of love

And we kill our brothers daily in the name of God

And if we realized

Then we’d make a little love now sing

CAN WE FIND A REASON

Is there anyone out there Willing to try ?

Or are we satisfied with just getting by ?

We've hurt mother nature

Can't you see her she's crying

We've robbed and we've raped her and taken her child

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?

Just think about it

And oh oh oh can we find a reason

To live another season ?

We're fighting more battles

Everyday we're alive We should be rejoicing

But instead we cry

This world's so polluted

You would think we were blind

We poison our children

Before they're defined

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?

Just think about it

And oh oh oh can we find a reason

To live another season ? yeah

Excuse me for saying

'Cause I've never been shy

But if we don't stop this

We sho'nuff goin' die

Yes I hope we can make it

'Cause this river's run dry

Now our only battle

Will be to survive, hey

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?

Come on and think about it

And oh oh oh can we find a reason

To live another season ?

Yeah it's the new millennium

Yeah yeah yeah

Can we find a reason

To live another season ?

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?

To live another season ?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ...

It's the new millennium

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ...

Can we find a reason

To live another season ?

AGAIN

I've been searching for you

I heard a cry within my soul

I never had a yearning quite like this before

Now that you are walking right through my door

All of my life Where have you been

I wonder if I'll ever see you again

And if that day comes

I know we could win

I wonder if I'll ever see you again

A sacred gift of heaven

For better worse wherever

And I would never let somebody break you down

Or take your crown, never All of my life

Where have you been

I wonder if I'll ever see you again

And if that day comes I know we could win

I wonder if I'll ever see you again

I've searched through time, I've always known

That you where there, upon your throne

A lonely queen, without her king

I've longed for you, my love forever

All of my life Where have you been

I wonder if I'll ever see you again

And if that day comes

I know we could win

I wonder if I'll ever see you again

All of my life Where have you been

I wonder if I'll ever see you again

And if that day comes I know we could win

I wonder if I'll ever see you again

All of my life Where have you been

I wonder if I'll ever see you again

And if that day comes

I know we could win

I wonder if I'll ever see you again

BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE

I am a soldier A casualty of love I've been from heaven

All the way to hell I've had a journey

Much more than I can tell I've got stories

Much more than I can sell All this mass confusion

Causes chaos in my brain I'm on the battlefield

The battlefield of love With all of the illusions

I won't ever be the same I'm on the battlefield

The battlefield of love I'm a prisoner

A prisoner of love I have been captured

And kept underground I have been tortured

But I don't make a sound 'Cause I know one day

One day I will be found

All this mass confusion Causes chaos in my brain

I'm on the battlefield The battlefield of love

With all of the illusions I won't ever be the same

I'm on the battlefield The battlefield of love

IF I COULD FALL IN LOVE

When I was young I fell in love She was a goddess

With a world inside of her mind When she moved on

Something went wrong She took my power

And the love I had inside Now that I found you

I don't know how to If I could fall

In love again I'd fall in love with you

If I could change A grain of sand

Into a pearl I would I pray in time

I'll come to find Away to break through

And save this heart of mine You've waited long

If you can't hold on I wouldn't blame you

I don't think I'd be that strong What am I to do

If I can't have you If I could fall

In love again I'd fall in love with you

If I could change A grain of sand

Into a pearl I would You love me so

Even though I don't know How do you deal

With a man like me If I could fall

In love again I'd fall in love with you

If I could change A grain of sand

Into a pearl I would I would, I would, I would

STILLNESS OF HEART

I'm out here on the street There's no one left to meet

The things that were so sweet No longer move my feet

But I keep trying I keep on trying

All that I want is Stillness of heart

So I can start To find my way

Out of the dark And into your heart

I got more than I can eat A life that can't be beat

Yet still I feel this heat I'm feeling incomplete

What am I buying? My soul is crying

All that I want is Stillness of heart

So I can start To find my way

Out of the dark And into your heart

Where's the love? What is this world we live in?

Where's the love ? We've got to keep on giving

Where's the love ? What happened to forgiving ?

Anyone ? All that I want is Stillness of heart So I can start

To find my way Out of the dark

And into your heart

BELIEVE IN ME

Where's the love we had? When did it go bad ?

Or am I just insecure ? I give all I can

I feel as If I'm through Please believe in me

Countless sleepless nights Never ending fights

I will sacrifice to find paradise

But I need to know you're behind me

She said I want the money I know you want it honey

Your skies will not be sunny If you don't bring it home to me

Don't want to hear your crying 'Cause baby I'm not trying

To wait for your dreams to fly in

Then she smiled and said to me

A MILLION MILES AWAY

You think I'm cool But I am not

You think that I am Nonchalant

You think I'm hard That I lay the part

Don't be fooled You are my heart

Oh Babe i'm just so tired of being on the run

Babe when I can't feel your touch

And we've lost another day Seems like a million miles away

I wander in the dark Looking for somewhere to stay

Seems like I'm a million miles away

Without love what have we got

All these things don't mean a lot

Let's disregard the past and start A new fire

From this old spark Let's take this love

And make it hotter than the sun

Babe when I can't feel your touch

And we've lost another day

Seems like a million miles away

I wander in the dark Looking for somewhere to stay

Seems like I'm a million miles away

What am I looking for? What am I dreaming of?

When you are the woman that I really love

Babe when I can't feel your touch And we've lost another day

Seems like a million miles away I wander in the dark

Looking for somewhere to stay

Seems like I'm a million miles away

YOU WERE IN MY HEART

I want to be a better man Lord knows that I'm trying

I want to keep the master's plan

But sometimes things get wild

Demons sleep with me in bed I can feel their fire

When darkness gets around my head

Sometimes I go blind But you were in my heart

While the evil eye was searching out was staring at me

But you were in my heart

While the maids of doom, were reaching out and tempting me

The world can give you everything Anything you want

Money, fame And all it brings Whatever turns you on

But your bloods running through my veins

And I am standing tall But even though you took my place

You are somehow bound to fall But you were in my heart

While the evil eye was searching out was staring at me

But you were in my heart

While the maids of doom, were reaching out and tempting me

BANK ROBBER MAN

I was walking down the street today

Just as somebody blew the doors off of the B of A

Just then I head them call my name

As I was thrown against the car I was being framed

We don't need no reason You're going in the can

You look like the bank robber man
