Down To The River To Pray - Lyrics - A Hundred Miles Or More: A Collection - Alison Krauss

Title: Down To The River To Pray
Album: A Hundred Miles Or More: A Collection
Artist: Alison Krauss
Composer(s): Traditional Robert Douglas Metgar, Robert Allen Zipkin

Lyric:
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way

O sisters let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O sisters let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way

O brothers let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
Come on brothers let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way

O fathers let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O fathers let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way

O mothers let's go down, come on down
Don't you want to go down
Come on mothers let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way

O sinners let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O sinners let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way

Pray For Rain - Lyrics - Bad English

Title: Pray For Rain
Artist: Bad English
Composer(s): Jonathan Cain, Markus Spiro, John Charles Waite

Lyric:
Listen to the rain come down on the roof
Someone needs a miracle
And I'm the livin' proof, drink, light a cigarette
And let me count the ways
I can hear a whisper, in a haunted house these days

She won't set me free
She won't let me go
She won't leave my soul alone

She just lead me to the river
As my heart goes down in flames
Till she comes back to me
I'll have to pray for rain
Wrap yourself around me
Only you can pull me through
Through this desert that I call my heart
I'll pray for rain to you
To you
To you

I can see the firelight reflected on her skin
She was smooth as alabaster
With a taste of salt and sin
Slave to a servant, a prisoner to the kiss
Addicted to temptation, and we did not resist

Now I can't get free
'Coz she won't let go
She won't leave my soul alone

She just lead me to the river
As my heart goes down in flames
Till she comes back to me
I'll have to pray for rain
Wrap yourself around me
Only you can pull me through
Through this desert that I call my heart
I'll pray for rain to you

Now I'm a stranger to myself
Now my life is not my own
She won't leave my soul alone

She just lead me to the river
As my heart goes down in flames
Till she comes back to me
I'll have to pray for rain
Wrap yourself around me
Only you can pull me through
Through this desert that I call my heart
I'll pray for rain to you

(Lead me to the river)
Lead me to the river
I'll pray for rain
(Lead me to the river)
(Pray for rain)
She comes back to me again
(Lead me to the river)

Lead me down
Take me down
(Lead me to the river)
(Pray for rain)
Pray for rain
(Lead me to the river)
(Lead me to the river)
(Lead me to the river)
(Pray for rain)

(Lead me to the river)
(Lead me to the river)
(Lead me to the river)
(Pray for rain)
(Lead me to the river)

Four Word Letter (Pt. Two) - Lyrics - Me Without You

Title: Four Word Letter (Pt. Two)
Artist: Me Without You
Composer(s): Chris Kleinberg, Richard Mazzotta, Daniel Steven Pishcok, Aaron Weiss, Michael Weiss

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
I wrote a four word letter with post-script in crooked lines
"Though I'd lived I'd never been alive"
You know who I am, you held my hem as I traveled blind
Listening to the whispering in my ear soft but getting stronger
Telling me only purpose of my being here is to stay a bit longer

Stealing a bicycle chain
As the handlebars crashed to the ground
The back wheel detached from the frame
Kept rolling, yeah, but aimlessly drifting around

Oh, doubters, let's go down
Let's go down, won't you come on down?
Oh doubters, let's go down
Down to the river to pray?

"Oh, but I'm so small, I can barely be seen
How can this great love be inside of me?"
Look at your eyes, they're small in size
But they see enormous things

Wearing black canvas slippers in our frog-on-a-lily-pad pose
We sewed buttons and zippers to Chinese pink silk
And olive night clothes if you can someday stop by somehow
We'll show you the pictures and fix you some tea
See my dad's getting a bit older now and just unimaginably lonely

Oh, pretenders, let's go down
Let's go down, won't you come on down?
Oh, pretenders, let's go down
Down to the river to pray?

Oh, but I'm so afraid or I'm set in my ways
But He'll make the rabbits and rocks sing His praise
"Oh, but I'm too tired, I won't last long"
No, He'll use the weak to overcome the strong

Oh, Amanda, let's go down
Let's go down, won't you come on down?
Mama, Nana, let's go down
Down in the dirt by the river to pray

You strike the match, why not be utterly changed by fire
To sacrifice the shadow and the mist
Of a brief life you never much liked
So if you'd care to come along
We're gonna curb all our never-ending clever complaining
As who's ever heard of a singer criticized by his song?

We hunger, but though all that we eat brings us little relief
We don't know quite what else to do
We have all our beliefs but we don't want our beliefs
God of peace, we want You

Sleepwalker - Lyrics - United Abominations - Megadeth

Title: Sleepwalker
Album: United Abominations
Artist: Megadeth
Composer(s): Dave Mustaine

Lyric:
I should be calling collect from jail
For the things I commit each night in my head
Like last night in my sleep I got to snuff you
But then I woke up again safe in my little bed

No one is safe
When I close my eyes
I come to take your life

I get to force your untimely disappearance
Each night in my dreams, when I'm fast asleep
I close my eyes, you just vanish soon as I lay down my head
When I'm dead to the whole wide world

No one is safe
When I close my eyes
I come to take your life

And then I wake up again
And it was all just a dream
And everything is the same

Sleepwalker did I give you concrete shoes?
And throw you off of a bridge
Sleepwalker when I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul's mine to keep, I feel you near me, Sleepwalker

Just taking a stroll
Don?t go to sleep
Here's some toothpicks for your eyes

You always make an excellent cadaver
I roll your body up in a carpet to make music in the
Trunk of my limousine, wrapped up in a rug
A fitting end is that I send you up the river like a punk

No one is safe
When I close my eyes
I come to take your life

The Angel of Death is pissed off at me again
Just because I got to put you out of my misery
It doesn't matter, I am without fear
Now you're dead, I won't shed another bloody tear for you

No one is safe
When I close my eyes
I come to take your life

I'm calling down the thunder
Then you'll sleep with the fishes
The answer to all of my wishes

Sleepwalker did I tell you I was in movies?
Then dump you garroted lying naked in a ditch
Sleepwalker everyday, another way
I know you can hear me

I think you'd look nice in a Colombian necktie
Should stop your tongue from wagging the dog
No more stupidity from you as I pull your tongue through
For a smile from ear to ear, now there's nothing to hear

No one is safe
When I close my eyes
I come to take your life

And then I wake up
And it was all just a dream
And everything is still the same

Sleepwalker did I give you concrete shoes?
And throw your body off of a bridge
Sleepwalker when I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep, I feel you near me

Sleepwalker or did I tell you I was in movies?
Then dump you garroted lying naked in a ditch
Sleepwalker everyday, another way
I know you can hear me

Sleepwalker did I buy you the farm?
Put a horse head in your bed
Sleepwalker when I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep, I feel you near me

Sleepwalker everyday, everyday another way
Sleepwalker when I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep
I know you can hear me

Sleepwalker
Sleepwalker
Sleepwalker
Sleepwalker

Just To Keep From Drowning - Lyrics - Joe Cocker

Title: Just To Keep From Drowning
Artist: Joe Cocker
Composer(s): Marshall Chapman, Steve Davis

Lyric:
I went down to the river
Just to see if it would rain
I looked down in the water
I could not believe my eyes

A face and a reflection
Was staring back at me, ah ah
And it scares me just to think
About the power that this woman has on me

Just to keep from drowning
I get down on my knees to pray
Just to keep from drowning
I'll do anything you say
Help me now, help me now

It rained the day I met her
I should have known that was a sign
But I couldn't see the weather
That woman almost made me blind

I wanted her to love me
Now all I want is to be free
And it scares me just to think
About the power that this woman has on me

Just to keep from drowning
I'll do anything I can
Just to keep from drowning
Lord, I need a helping hand
Help me now, help me now

I hear the river call my name
But the water's dark and cold
I see your face and I'm afraid this time
That I will lose my soul
I will lose my soul, I might lose my soul
Help me, help me now

Just to keep from drowning
I get down on my knees to pray
Just to keep from drowning
I'll do anything you say
Help me now, help me please

What else's gonna save me from drowning here
Just to deliver me, keep from drowning
I get on my knees to pray
Just to free my soul
Just to keep from drowning

You know I'd do
Anything you say, woman
Ooh
Have me talking, baby
Drowning, drowning

Can't we
Living like it should
With unbroken heart
I'd do anything

Just to keep from drowning
Just to keep from burning down
I get on my knees to pray

I said it scares me
Just to think about you woman
How will she help for me
I gotta keep from drowning

Democracy - Lyrics - The Essential Leonard Cohen - Leonard Cohen

Title: Democracy
Album: The Essential Leonard Cohen
Artist: Leonard Cohen
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
It's coming through a hole in the air
From those nights in Tienanmen Square
It's coming from the feel
That this ain't exactly real
Or it's real but it ain't exactly there

From the wars against disorder
From the sirens night and day
From the fires of the homeless
From the ashes of the gay
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

And it's coming through a crack in the wall
On a visionary flood of alcohol
From the staggering account
Of the Sermon on the Mount
Which I don't pretend to understand at all

It's coming from the silence
On the dock of the bay
From the brave, the bold, the battered
Heart of Chevrolet
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming from the sorrow in the street
The holy places where the races meet
From the homicidal bitchin'
That goes down in every kitchen
To determine who will serve and who will eat

From the wells of disappointment
Where the women kneel to pray
For the grace of God in the desert here
And the desert far away
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Sail on, sail on
O mighty ship of state
To the shores of need
Past the reefs of greed
Through the squalls of hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on

It's coming to America first
The cradle of the best and of the worst
It's here they got the range
And the machinery for change
And it's here they got the spiritual thirst

It's here the family's broken
And it's here the lonely say
That the heart has got to open
In a fundamental way
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

It's coming from the women and the men
O baby we'll be making love again
We'll be going down so deep
The river's going to weep
And the mountain's going to shout "Amen"

It's coming like the tidal flood
Beneath the lunar sway
Imperial, mysterious
In amorous array
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Sail on, sail on
O mighty ship of state
To the shores of need
Past the reefs of greed
Through the squalls of hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on

I'm sentimental if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight
Getting lost in that hopeless little screen

But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
That time cannot decay
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
This little wild bouquet
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
To the U.S.A.

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Mothafuckin' murderer
Mothafuckin' murderer

Murdered my sister the only thing
I'm trying to tell is to take it to that, nigga
Get that mutherfucker what I tell myself
Make that mutherfucka feel what Chell felt

Heavenly father but your will to bring them tears to her eyes
Fuck the fussing and the fights why she have to die
Couldn't believe my, baby, to leave away from here so goddamn early
I tried to tell her that nigga was bad news but she ain't heard me

Fact was that she love this bitch
But she found love on the graveyard shift
And how many mutherfuckin' quick lift or spliff on the fifth
Find my, baby, sister she ain't deserve that shit

Nigga, you couldn't of nigga, you wouldn't
Put your hand on a woman how could it be my sister
Can't say I wouldn't miss her but I wouldn't forget cha
Get that bitch for every time he hit, ya he gone pay for what he did, ya

Murderer
Mothafuckin' murderer
Mothafuckin' murderer
Mothafuckin' murderer

Possessed that nigga that hurt her 100%
Black Queen self every women
Nigga, you lost your fuckin' life when you took hers
From her you took her from her brothers

And her baby, mother from her
But after it's said and done your ass gone burn like it's summer
Even a fuck 'bout a system, sister was your victim
Fuck, he said, he did it what the fuck you mean you're being a victim

Fuck him I'll get 'em be that nigga, to deal with him
Cut him and split him reverse that feelin'
Committed mutherfuckin' centuries under my ceilin'
The paper said, lacerations to her what did the killin'

But thats on my first born to make him my first blood
Nigga, you took her from her fuckin' close friends and first cous'
She would probably miss my partner she was cool
With multiplied by the people she went to school

With never the less rest my sweet sister
I'm about to handle this business
Get that thing and kiss ya, picture
Heavenly father he done put me in that water

But I got to get that bitch for what he did
To my momma daughter
Never dreamed he'd be the one to hurt her
She died a bloody murder

Murderer
Mothafuckin' murderer
Mothafuckin' murderer
Mothafuckin' murderer
Mothafuckin' murderer

Into the tick-tock of the wee hour shit started to get sour
She was killed by that fuckin' coward
How could nothin' take so much and
No more was uppin' no more huggin'

But his conciense know the truth so he fucked up and
Her memories was all that was left so to that I'm clutchin'
She was taken out of your reach now you can't touch her
Unfortunately also taken from us so we gotta suffer

Dabalin' down to that last supper gotta hustle
Feelin' my album shake the devil up reconstruct this motherfucka
I never slowed down just throw it down like I know how
Thought I do it like she would have wanted me to do it

I still can't believe I lost her in the worst way
She died wearin' my very first T-shirt on my birthday
Now what the fuck I'm supposed to celebrate
Would have celebrated if I caught his ass
But I got in my bed and it's too late

Everybody gotta roll they must play no hollerin' when to pray
But this mutherfucka gotta pay
There will be no reasonable excuse for what you've done
Even ignored him when he started stealin' from me
'Cause them was crumbs

A raindrop to a river, huh, a sinner to a Christian
A holler to a whisper she was the sole reason
That I got along which, ya, but I'm a never
Heal from the scars of what you did to my sister

Murderer
Mothafuckin' murderer
Mothafuckin' murderer
Mothafuckin' murderer

New World Disorder - Lyrics - Biohazard

Title: New World Disorder
Artist: Biohazard
Composer(s): Evan Seinfeld, William Daniel Graziadei, Daniel Schuler

Lyric:
Hey yo, fuck it, I'm rollin' in a 4-barrel Camaro
Toward the Tribore, eyes narrow, East River flow with marrow
Along side the bridge zombies pushing bodies in wheel barrels
Bitches sterile follow on crutches of rusted arrows
Tryin' breath through esophagus stuffed with sparrows

Listen, to the [Incomprehensible] of hysterical, pleads for miracles
Time to overthrow the imperial, terrarembrium, the spherical
I turn the steering wheel and pull into a 7-Eleven
Met up with Billy, Danny, Rob and Evan from the fucking Bio

Yo, we down for survival with acid rain drenched
Skin infested by termites, hermaphrodites on bikes
Swing spikes, think twice as I try to pacify the pariah
Beside the driver and shotgun Kelly flips the visor

Time to devise a plan to reverse the demise of man before he's met
By the last set of the sun, Armageddon, no question to answer
Disaster results from behavior patterns, Earth lay raped
Escape to Saturn in a capsule, thirteen days of travel

Upon arrival plans unravel, imbalance of chemical pheromones
Clones with no genitals surround us, we can't fuck them
No means of reproduction, I hear a scream and turn in that
Direction, 33-23-33, I see seven coming toward us to reward us

Disorder, enter the Millennium, time gets shorter
Disorder, behold a pale horse, new world disorder
Disorder, enter the Millennium, time gets shorter
Disorder, behold a pale horse, new world disorder

Armageddon, a new death is dawnin'
I like the smell of napalm in the morning
Four riders of the apocalypse descend from the north
A tear in my eye, I behold a pale horse

Armageddon, no time to cry, we all die
As the sky turns red, the missiles start to fly
Faction stake action, eleven families rule
The Millennium approaches, survival of the roaches

Body armor will make you feel calmer
Or safe from the drama deploy stealth
Military bombers, ass out
Get down on your knees and pray
Illuminati takes your soul on the eve of judgment day

As the armies of darkness irradiate life
And we all go to hell and Satan fucks your wife
Strife, terror without a minute to pray
Human beings at odds, peace becomes disarray

Humongous from Mad Max, Lord of the Wasteland
With crazy ill troops all at my command
Don't you ever fall victim to my master plan
I'm the dealer of death and here's your motherfuckin' hand

Disorder, enter the Millennium, time gets shorter
Disorder, behold a pale horse, new world disorder
Disorder, enter the Millennium, time gets shorter
Disorder, behold a pale horse, new world disorder

I'm ready to take back whatever they sold ya
'Cuz the scheme is a secret so nobody ever told ya
An underground illuminated tribe of radicals
Ready to take forth and feast like cannibals

Animals, huffing the fumes of rotting flesh exhumed
From the corpses of presidents, dissents and fools
With a one way ticket from the temple of doom
Dark sides of moons and ill atomic booms
Leave the earth all shakin' and full of wounds

From Krakatoa East of Java to Cameroon
And coming soon to a theater near you
The end of everything that we once knew

The grand finale strap my body with TNT
Take the president and his bitch with me
Tearing down the walls of this conspiracy
Fuck skull and bones and Illuminati

Eradication of the land of the free but I'm the brave
Ain't going out like a motherfuckin' slave
Neobarbaric post apocalyptic war
Ground zero, Brooklyn, the world at war

Disorder, enter the Millennium, time gets shorter
Disorder, behold a pale horse, new world disorder
Disorder, enter the Millennium, time gets shorter
Disorder, behold a pale horse, new world disorder

I woke up, bar codes on my forehead
It's a living nightmare, my families all dead
I gotta call Fred but no dial tone
I'm out for self 'cuz I'm gonna die alone

This is madness, I'm drooling with the lock jaw
My elevator don't go to the top floor
I hold my breath 'cuz the O2 killed, I'm suffocating
I can't pay my oxygen bill

There's no tomorrow, I wish a nigga murdered me
The President declared a state of emergency
The coast guard bangin' at my front door
I got homemade bombs if they want war

There's no sun, they put a fucking chip in me
I'm a clone, matta fact it's a different me
I'm high tech kid, you get a bomb in the mail
So if you die today then I'll see you in hell
See you in hell, see you in hell

Disorder, enter the Millennium, time gets shorter
Disorder, behold a pale horse, new world disorder
Disorder, enter the Millennium, time gets shorter
Disorder, behold a pale horse, new world disorder

Disorder, enter the Millennium, time gets shorter
Disorder, behold a pale horse, new world disorder
Disorder, enter the Millennium, time gets shorter
Disorder, behold a pale horse, new world disorder, disorder

You'Re Drifting Away - Lyrics - Bill Monroe

Title: You'Re Drifting Away
Artist: Bill Monroe
Composer(s): Bill Monroe

Lyric:
All your life you've lived a sinner the bright way you've never trod
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
When you come to cross the river and you haven't met with God
You're drifting away, you're drifting away

You're drifting away, you're drifting away
On down the dark river I'm sorry to say
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
Don't wait too long to let Jesus hear you pray

You won't give up your earthly treasures to enter the promised land
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
You can hear Jesus callin' but you won't accept his hand
You're drifting away, you're drifting away

You're drifting away, you're drifting away
On down the dark river I'm sorry to say
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
Don't wait too long to let Jesus hear you pray

When you come to cross the river Jesus won't give the command
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
And that dark rollin' river takes you to the sinkin' sand
You're drifting away, you're drifting away

You're drifting away, you're drifting away
On down the dark river I'm sorry to say
You're drifting away, you're drifting away
Don't wait too long to let Jesus hear you pray

Gutta Butta - Lyrics - Still Standing - Goodie Mob

Title: Gutta Butta
Album: Still Standing
Artist: Goodie Mob
Composer(s): C Gipp, Raymon Murray, Patrick Brown, Organized Noize T Burton, W Knighton, Rico Wade, R Barnett

Lyric:
Yo, we gon' do it like this
Straight out the parts that they disregard
Never considered okay

Now don't get mad, nigga get glad
Goodie got them brand new trash bags, dag
And they know where to dump that ass
In the chair

The hoochie river with the rest of the kids
That did business outside la familians
Gettin' ya touched, down the cut
Blunts roastin' whole through tea bags

Blowin' bubbles out the wrong end
Mud in your stool piles, flamin' hotter than Dust Valley
The gateway to where ever your sick tickle desire
The gangsters of this other century
Transforming hustlers and players into sissies

So slim goodie, you don't want no drug boy
He'll leave you barefooted and pregnant
Don't get too comfortable you ain't gon be here too long
G's get locked up and die

Most lie in they own surreal home
Trust the tree on the map
This one individual thought he was the Grim Reaper
Swole, couldn't nobody put a finger on his naps

Now he up under the bridge stankin' in his birthday suit
Used to always holler about how he was gon' do a brother
Beat him to the punch-line, [Incomprehensible]
Being forced into early retirement at the age of twenty-six

Palms feel like bricks, peeling from distributing crack
Crumb snatchers and goo-gobblers struggle
To stay on top of sand dunes
'Cause mouths born with silver spoons

Make your bed you gotta sleep in it
But stakes made
Baking soda kept the knees clean
Narrow like a ravine

[Incomprehensible] fell good news
Last hole, green jacket worn, body in two
Left by oh-no, soul been gone
Disappeared like the dune

Once the temperature rise
But I'm with my Lawd, please grits, still ship
Half the pipes are gettin' sold out convenience stores
Where ya at now? Coming around trying to sniff out sounds

Well, rounded kept you strictly grounded for your ear
The dogs are gettin' closer to the [Incomprehensible] now can you hear?
I smell fear and even if your eyes was closed
Your ass couldn't catch your tear

Lies, straws, mirrors and plates
Nicks, dimes, fifties, and cakes
Why can't I escape
These lies, straws, mirrors and plates?

In the land of jacks I got my acts over the tracks with stacks
Upon the map in the vault
Where this cat's trying to sniff me out
I'm in the southwest woods working all about

Paper capers, never hurt them brothers to obtain
If I can't refrain 'cause some of these niggaz snortin' cain
And really don't know which way to go
Confused, you'll abuse anybody for a fix

Hits go for ten bucks, go for twenty and they good and plenty
Fat baggies like Maggies muffin'
Where the kid do the stuffin'
Silly of these young niggaz watching me

As I turn figures into solitaire
Twirl up my hair, pray to God I don't have to do him
Like I never knew or had no clue to who you was
'Cuz, face to face with a scar engraved upon his left cheek

So to speak, I'm more like a icon when it was done
To approach my mosse
Be on that Rossie like The Click
So I stay ready for combat and watch the rich get rich off it

Lies, straws, mirrors and plates
Nicks, dimes, fifties, and cakes
Why can't I escape
These lies, straws, mirrors and plates?

Nigga I ain't shit, I just know how to rhyme a little bit
Nigga please, I'm still trying to squeeze my fat ass in where I fit
Now I got a little dough but it ain't that much more
Than every other nigga I know

We all still po, I don't sell dope, I sell hope
You wanna size me up my nigga then wear a scope
'Cause you gon see me on MLK and on T.V.
I ain't got no fear, my nigga I was born to wait right here

Late one night I was in a pearl white Acura Legendary
I got that thang with me, 'cause it's necessary
Shit, I was just ridin', wasn't even thinking out collidin'
But I kept seeing the same headlights running stop signs and red lights

I don't prepared myself to die if it's my time to go
He said, "You know what it is, you done seen it before"
This sad, of course I'ma be mad
Well, here you can have it god dammit if you want it that bad

You would try to take from me, my nigga I ain't no star
I value both of our lives more than this car
You lucky nigga, I used to be you
Shit and I'd bust a hole in your chest, somebody could see through

Now remember, shit, you could've died tonight
And I would've been in the right
I ain't even pissed you could just drop me off at the house
'Cause I ain't really dying by nothin' like this

Everythang cool my nigga
You could just drop me off at the house
Knahmsayin'?

Year Of Sunday - Lyrics - Seals And Crofts

Title: Year Of Sunday
Artist: Seals And Crofts
Composer(s): Darrell Crofts, James Seals

Lyric:
We all live in the Year of Sunday
So many things are in store for us
Oh, what a gift to be born in
Sunday's beautiful light way down here in the dusk

People, return to the tree of oneness
Oh, won't you hurry the presence is there
Down on our knees in the darkness of Sunday
We'll find the answers to all of our prayers

And then everyday will be Sunday
For you and me, how I pray, how I pray?

God made a pact with Abraham
Never leave a man alone
So, Abraham gathered his family
And brought his people home

Along came Moses, gave the world a push
Climbed upon a mountain high
He got the Ten Commandments from a burning bush
And put together his first tribe

Then came Jesus to Jerusalem
Ridin' on His shoulder a dove
The dove upon his shoulder said, he was the one
The one to teach us how to love

Mohamed stayed out in the desert sun
Stayed out there just as long as he could
The maker gave him water from the river of life
And then he gave us nationhood.

And then time passed, soon the dark clouds
Came and covered up Mohamed's sun
But the young Báb, down in Persia land
Came to tell us of the promised one

Lo, the nightingale of paradise
Singeth upon the twig of the Tree of Eternity
With holy and sweet melodies
Proclaiming to the sincere ones
The glad tidings of the nearness of God
Bahá'u'lláh, Bahá'u'lláh, Bahá'u'lláh, Bahá'u'lláh

We all live in the Year of Sunday
So many things are in store for us
Oh, what a gift to be born in
Sunday's beautiful light way down here in the dusk

We all live in the year of Sunday
So many things are in store for us
Oh, what a gift to be born in
Sunday's beautiful light way down here in the dusk

Sit & Listen To The Rain - Lyrics - Whiskeytown

Title: Sit & Listen To The Rain
Artist: Whiskeytown
Composer(s): Ryan Adams

Lyric:
Sit around, dream away the place I'm from
Used to feel so much now I just feel numb
Could go out tonight but I ain't sure what for
Call a friend or two I don't know anymore

Sit and listen to the rain
Sit and listen to the rain

Gonna ride down to the river where it runs
Gonna watch TV and pray for decent reruns
Sit around and dream away what I've become
Used to feel so much now I just feel dumb

Sit and listen to the rain
Sit and listen to the rain

I'll never understand this emptiness
I'll never really try to understand, I guess
I'll never understand this emptiness
I'll never really try and understand
Try and understand, I guess

Sit around, dream away the place I'm from
Used to feel so much now I just feel dumb
Could go out tonight but I ain?t sure what for
Call a friend or two I don?t know anymore

Sit and listen to the rain
Sit and listen to the rain

Your Bright Baby Blues - Lyrics - Love Is Strange - Jackson Browne

Title: Your Bright Baby Blues
Album: Love Is Strange
Artist: Jackson Browne
Composer(s): Jackson Browne

Lyric:
I'm sittin' down by the highway
Down by that highway side
Everybody's goin' somewhere
Ridin' just as fast as they could ride

I guess they got a lot to do
Before they can rest assured
Their lives are justified
Pray to God for me, babe, he can let me slide

Well, I've been up and down this highway
Far as my eyes can see
No matter how fast I run
I can never seem to get away from me

No matter where I am
I can't help thinkin', I'm just a day away
Where I wanna be
Now I'm runnin' home, baby
Like a river to the sea

Baby, if you could see me
Out across this wilderness
There's just one thing
I was hopin' you might guess

Baby, you can free me
All in the power of your sweet tenderness
Yeah, yeah

I can see it in your eyes
You've got those bright baby blues
You don't see what you've got to gain
But you don't like to lose

You watch yourself from the sidelines
Like your life is a game
You don't mind playin', to keep yourself amused
I don't mean to be cruel, babe
But you're lookin', confused

Baby if you can hear me
Turn down your radio
There's just one thing
I want you to know

When you've been near me
I've felt the love
Stirrin' in my soul, yeah, yeah, yes I have

It's so hard to come by
That feeling of peace
This friend of mine said
"Close your eyes
And try a few of these"

I thought I flyin' like a bird
So far above my sorrow
But when I looked down
I was standin' on my knees

Now I need
Someone to help me
Someone to help me, please

Baby, if you need me
Like I know I need you
There's just one thing
I'll ask you to do

Take my hand and lead me
To the hole in your garden wall
And pull me through, pull me through

Where I'M From - Lyrics - R.U.L.E. - Ja Rule

Title: Where I'M From
Album: R.U.L.E.
Artist: Ja Rule
Composer(s): Artie Green, Andre L Parker, Jeffrey B Atkins, Irving Domingo Lorenzo, Demi Mcghee, Lloyd Polite

Lyric:
Hey, comin' from where I'm from, I'm from
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Kids get killed in ghettos, shot up over the car Limos
While they mom was at home, tears hittin' the pillow
Where women in the middle in a seminal funereal
Shed a tear 'cause he lost his son the same way a year ago

It's the same ego spiritual, we thuggin' in harmony
They say, "Death brings life, there exchange no robbery"
If I'm wrong pardon me, I'm just tired of poverty
Why them niggaz in the hood never hit the lottery

Unless they go lottery, first round in the draft
First we dustin' off the rounds and we slip in the mag'
Then we slip on the masks and go out and mash
And we call it feeding our family, y'all call it a tragedy, damn

How I could just kill a man?
Watch his blood flow like a river then rinse his blood off of my hand
If you hearing me speak please Lord give me a chance
Please forgive me of my sins 'cause we cleansed where I'm from

Me and my niggaz ride
Even when the sun don't shine and it's cold outside
Never run in or hide 'cause some niggaz hate it
But I can't get faded 'cause I done made it

Instead of struggling or strive
Survive my weight how these ghetto streets of mine
This is coming from where I'm from, I'm from
We all walk back in line

Now everybody know that everybody said, "Nobody can hide from beef
Except but us, who surprised when these kids get killed on the streets"
Look how these animals eat that's how they talk 'bout us
While they shed they joke and laugh puttin' a choke round us

Can I get a moment of silence?
'Cause they claimin' it's the murderers that's causin' all the violence
What 'bout the ones that protect to serve our honor
Poppin' the blue colla' with shots soon to follow

The ghettos in horror 'cause in this boy shot went back
And now the neighborhood hot and he can't move the crack
When it's all about the dollars
And he'll individually get murdered 'cause money is power

But then these snitch's get to talking and it's colder than ours
Cuffed and crimed on the bus heading straight to the Island
He was only 13 but tried us in the dope and as high as the coast
Because ain't no more children in the ghetto where I'm from

Me and my niggaz ride
Even when the sun don't shine and it's cold outside
Never run in or hide 'cause some niggaz hate it
But I can't get faded 'cause I done made it

Instead of struggling or strive
Survive my weight how these ghetto streets of mine
This is coming from where I'm from, I'm from
We all walk back in line

We ain't all killers in prison
Matter fact that's a stereo typical thought of livin'
'Cause they don't know about the hood and them love in it
Summer time top down with the wood finish

Pushin' hard, uptown windows slightly tinted
Back to back Benz and jeeps, blowin' weed with my niggaz
On our way to a house party, gonna fuck with some bitchs
Let's get some liquor for shorty who said she make us some chicken

And if we get 'em drunk enough
We probably could freak 'em and do it every other weekend
If I don't have to kill niggaz, I never would leave the ghetto
I'm like an angel that put on a halo
Cradle the grave of my niggaz that we lost in the ghetto

'Cause where I'm from in the ghetto we rock white tee's and Nike's
Roll 3 dice and name our dope ice cream
Set trends and y'all follow our lead
But in New Yitti niggaz follow they dreams, where I'm from

Me and my niggaz ride
Even when the sun don't shine and it's cold outside
Never run in or hide 'cause some niggaz hate it
But I can't get faded 'cause I done made it

Instead of struggling or strive
Survive my weight how these ghetto streets of mine
This is coming from where I'm from, I'm from
We all walk back in line

Now I lay me down and sleep
And I pray for the Lord, my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
Pray to the Lord, my soul to take, yeah
Pray for the Lord, my soul to take, oh, oh yeah

Me and my niggaz ride
Even when the sun don't shine and it's cold outside
Never run in or hide 'cause some niggaz hate it
But I can't get faded 'cause I done made it

Instead of struggling or strive
Survive my weight how these ghetto streets of mine
This is coming from where I'm from, I'm from
We all walk back in line

Cryin' Every Day - Lyrics - Bee Gees

Title: Cryin' Every Day
Artist: Bee Gees
Composer(s): Maurice Ernest Gibb, Robin Hugh Gibb, Barry Gibb

Lyric:
I wasn't born to be alone that was a lesson I was shown
To know that love was just a lie
I ran away to think it over
But it's over and I try to take a stand on what is real

Someone has shown me how to feel
I'm like a shadow in the night
I'm like a river in an ocean
I'm a flame without a light

Now, I'm cryin' every day
And I been cryin' every day
And I been thinkin' of your love
I keep turnin', I keep turnin'
I keep turnin', I keep turnin'

Well, your love is a cathedral
And I came down here to pray
And now I'm cryin' every day

Can there be any wonder, why to be livin' under?
Love is a revelation only few can share
I could be a mountain strong but the pain about you
Long as I live without you, I would still be there

I wanna die, die away
Never love, never cry

I been walkin' in the rain
And I been hangin' on a dream
All the faces and the places
That our love has ever been

Now I'm cryin' every day
And I been cryin' every day
And I been thinkin' of your love
I keep turnin', I keep turnin'
I keep turnin', I keep turnin'

Well, your love is a cathedral
And I came down here to pray
And now I'm cryin' every day

Can there be any wonder why to be livin' under
Love is a revelation only few can share
I could be a mountain strong but the pain about you
Long as I live without you, I would still be there

I wanna die, die away
Never love, never cry

I wasn't born to be a fool
But I'm a fool to be around
I'm a man without a country
I'm a King without a crown
And then you're throwin' me away

Another world, another time
But if anyone belongs to anybody
You were mine

And I'm cryin' every day
And I been cryin' every day
And I've keep thinkin' of your love
I keep turnin', I keep turnin'
I keep turnin', I keep turnin'

Well, your love is a cathedral
And I came down here to pray
And now I'm cryin'
I'm cryin', cryin'
I'm cryin' in your love
I've keep thinkin' for your love
Cryin', cryin'

Mad Man Moon - Lyrics - A Trick Of The Tail - Genesis

Title: Mad Man Moon
Album: A Trick Of The Tail
Artist: Genesis
Composer(s): Tony Banks

Lyric:
Was it summer when the river ran dry
Or was it just another dam
When the evil of a snowflake in June
Could still be a source of relief

Oh, how I love you, I once cried long ago
But I was the one who decided to go
To search beyond the final crest
Though I'd heard it said just birds could dwell so high

So I pretended to have wings for my arms
And took off in the air
I flew to places which the clouds never see
Too close to the deserts of sand

Where a thousand mirages, the shepherds of lies
Forced me to land and take a disguise
I would welcome a horse's kick to send me back
If I could find a horse not made of sand

If this desert's all there'll ever be
Then tell me what becomes of me, a fall of rain?
That must have been another of your dreams
A dream of mad man moon

Hey, man, I'm the sandman
And boy have I news for you
They're gonna throw you in gaol
And you know they can't fail
'Cause sand is thicker than blood

But a prison in sand is a haven in hell
For a gaol can give you a goal
A goal can find you a role on a muddy pitch in Newcastle
Where it rains so much, you can't wait for a touch
Of sun and sand, sun and sand

Within the valley of shadowless death
They pray for thunderclouds and rain
But to the multitude who stand in the rain
Heaven is where the sun shines

The grass will be greener till the stems turn to brown
And thoughts will fly higher till the earth brings them down
Forever caught in desert lands one has to learn
To disbelieve the sea

If this desert's all there'll ever be
Then tell me what becomes of me, a fall of rain?
That must have been another of your dreams
A dream of mad man moon

Change In The Weather - Lyrics - Feels Like Rain - Buddy Guy

Title: Change In The Weather
Album: Feels Like Rain
Artist: Buddy Guy
Composer(s): John Fogerty

Lyric:
Change in the weather, change in the weather
Something is happening here
Change in the weather, change in the weather
People walkin' 'round in fear

Yeah, ah, huh, you better duck and run
Get under cover 'cause a change is come
Storm warnings and it looks like rain
Be nothin' left after the hurricane

There is a jungle, it ain't no lie
Look at the people, they got terror in their eyes
Bad wind is comin' and can't be denied
They're runnin' with the dogs and afraid to die

Change in the weather, change in the weather
Something is happening here
Change in the weather, change in the weather
People walkin' 'round in fear

Aha, you best believe it's true
The levee's busted, bad news comin' true
Oh no, there ain't no place to hide
Reach out and pluck you, take you for a ride, yeah

Sheer frustration takin' everything in sight
Won't be no blastin' if we make it through the night
Down on your knees for heaven and pray
But every demon have to have his day

Change in the weather, change in the weather
Something is happening here
Change in the weather, change in the weather
People walkin' 'round in fear

High noon I can't believe my eyes
Wind is ragin' there's a fire in the sky
Ground shakin' everything comin' loose
Run like a coward but it ain't no use

Edge of the river just an ugly scene
People getting pushed, and people gettin' mean
The change is comin' and it's getting' kind of late
There ain't no survivin', there ain't no escape

Change in the weather, change in the weather
Something is happening here
Change in the weather, change in the weather
People walkin' 'round in fear

Come on try
Ah somethin' been happinin' here, yeah
Whoa there's a change
Feel a change comin' on in the weather, yeah, yeah, yeah

Can't you tell it, I can't see it comin' Lord , ah ah
Got to, got to, got to
Got to, got to, got to feel yeah, yeah, yeah

Pray For Me - Lyrics - Lethal

Title: Pray For Me
Artist: Lethal
Composer(s): Del Hull, Tom Mallicoat

Lyric:
I shivered and listened
To a cold night's warning
I've never walked closer
To the edge of the dawning

Every step that I take
Could carry me homeward
They used to pray for me
They knew I was falling

I'll wash away my sorrows
Down by the river
Put my face in the cold wind

Won't you pray?
Oh, won't you pray for me?
I have fallen
Won't you pray for me?

His violent whispers
Were trying to take me
They knew that I would go
And now they forsake me

I'll wash away my sorrows
Down by the river
Put my face in the cold wind

Won't you pray?
Oh, won't you pray for me?
I have fallen
Won't you pray for me?

Lord Of The Dance - Lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman

Title: Lord Of The Dance
Artist: Steven Curtis Chapman
Composer(s): Steven Curtis Chapman, Scotty Smith

Lyric:
On the bank of the Tennessee river in a small Kentucky town
I drew my first breath one cold November morning
And before my feet even touched the ground
With the doctors and the nurses gathered 'round
I started to dance, yeah, I started to dance

A little boy full of wide-eyed wonder, footloose and fancy free
But it would happen, as it does for every dancer
That I'd stumble on a truth I couldn't see
And find a longing deep inside of me, it said

"I am the heart, I need the heartbeat
I am the eyes, I need the sight
I realize that I am just a body, I need the life"

"I move my feet, I go through the motions
But who'll give purpose to chance
I am the dancer, I need the lord of the dance, yeah"

The world beneath us spins in circles
And this life makes us twist and turn and sway
But we were made for more than rhythm with no reason
By the one who moves with passion and with grace
As he dances over all that he has made

I am the heart, he is the heartbeat
I am the eyes, he is the sight
And I see clearly, I am just a body, he is the life

I move my feet, I go through the motions
But he gives purpose to chance
I am the dancer, he is the lord of the dance
Lord of the dance, lord of the dance, yeah

And while the music of his love and mercy plays
I will fall down on my knees and I will pray

I am the heart, you are the heartbeat
I am the eyes, you are the sight
And I see clearly, I am just a body, you are the life

I move my feet, I go through the motions
But you give purpose to chance
I am the dancer, you are the lord of the dance

I am the heart, you are the heartbeat
I am the eyes and you are the sight
And I see clearly, I am just a body, you are the life

I move my feet, I go through the motions
But you give purpose to chance
I am the dancer, you are the lord of the dance
I am the dancer, you are the lord of the dance, yeah

I am the dancer, lord of the dance
