I used to think I was the same as everyone 'Til I heard a word that turned it all around
Came home from school one day confused with who I was I didn't understand the hatred I had found
And in my mind were many questions A child of interracial love And I'm askin' Are we so different? or Are we the same? Is it what we feel inside?
They say it's ignorance But when will it change? Do we see in black and white?
As I grew older I had different sets of friends Tryin' to find the place where I could be myself
Night after night I'd watch my parents go on stage And the music always healed the pain I felt
And then one day it spoke to me And said, "Use me to release what's on your mind."
Now I'm singing ... .
Are we so different? or Are we the same? Is it what we feel inside?
They say it's ignorance But when will it change? Do we see in black and white?
Are we so different? or Are we the same? Is it what we feel inside?
They say it's ignorance But when will it change? Do we see in black and white?
It happens everyday Don't want to complicate these colors in my picture I just find See my view in life is different Now I know and I can live it But these questions must be answered all the time
Are we so different? or Are we the same? Is it what we feel inside?
They say it's ignorance But when will it change? Do we see in black and white?
Are we so different? or Are we the same? Is it what we feel inside?
They say it's ignorance But when will it change? Do we see in black and white?
[Chorus:] And it's ok And it's alright Cause I'm a keep movin with my life The time has come, and I must grow (Gotta keep movin on) I've been goin' through lots of changes But no matter how long the days get I'm gonna be good, cause inside I know (It's gonna be alright)
Woke up this mornin' with these problems on my mind and Head is achin' I'm so tired of cryin' See, my man broke up with me last night Lately it seems like nothings going right Then suddenly, I hear a voice say, "Em, get up you can't be late for work today." Ya see, I'm tryna make my own way But sometimes I think I might be going crazy
[Chorus]
So I get ready and I head off to the studio I'm in the cab and I get a message on my phone It's the label sayin' they need one more song Better make it today, or your dream is gone So I, take a minute try to catch my breath When I go to pay the fare, got no money left Tell me when will all this struggle end? I just wanna smile again
[Bridge:] But through all the hurt and pain I know it's gonna bring me a brighter day And no matter what might come my way I know I'll be ok
I just like you thank u for everything u are And everything u do, it reaches out so far Never change it for no one, don't compromise yourself There's just so much of u to love
And its just like magic, U keep calling, calling over and over again yea Keep me faithful, keeping me running and in love
So come and hold me darling, cause u captured me, And ohh come and love me darling, cause u move me
U make me glad to be here, u help me to believe That I can do anything, if I just set my heart free And ohhh darling, I just, need u, I need u to know that I care-
U helped me out of my dark place thought I would never get out U told me that you would keep me safe and not to worry, cause Things were rough but u never broke down.
So come and hold me darling, cause u captured me, And ohh come and love me darling, cause u move me [x3]
U helped me out of my dark place thought I would never get out U told me that you would keep me safe and not to worry, cause Things were rough but u never broke down.
And no one else could ever make me feel this way, Since I met you darling my whole life has changed So want u do me one thing, won't u
Come and hold me darling, cause u captured me, And ohh come and love me darling, cause u move me
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone It's not warm when she's away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she always gone too long Anytime she goes away
Wondering this time where she's gone Wondering if she's gone to stay Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home Anytime she goes away
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know, I know. I know I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know Hey, I'm gonna leave young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone Only darkness everyday Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away
She was thru with all of the women he use to do See each morning he left her cryin' But she stays just a-hoping that he might change So then she put up with all his lying
Well, hey lady your gonna be okay, But he aint' worth what you go thru Oh no, oh no So pick yourself up off the floor That's no way for you to fight He won't be hurtin' you no more Trust yourself you can get by
She was just a baby in her mother eyes And then he came and how fast things change She used to tell her friends how he was a perfect guy Until that day he struck her face
But. hey baby your gonna be ok But that's not love that's hurtin' you Oh no, oh no So pick yourself up off the floor That's no way for you to fight He won't be hurtin' you no more Trust yourself you can get by You can get by So pick yourself up off the floor That's no way for you to fight He won't be hurtin' you no more Trust yourself you can get by
Why would you let somebody treat you that way? When its only fear that gets you to stay You've got to be strong And know that without him your life carries on
Right Now To The Way We Were So In Love But Life Soon Brings Change Through Ones Eyes He Cried Tears For Me But By His Side I Can No Longer Be
We Used To Talk All Night Of Different Things, But U, U Didnt Hear Me Cry Our Love Is Ending Somewhere Between The Lies This Sadness I Could No Longer Hide
Cuz It Was You Before The Sunlight Back In My Life It Was You Who Promised Me Forever That Things Would Be Right It Was You Who Made Me Cry, Now To You I Say Goodbye Through The Lies And The Truth It Was You
And So My Love Goodbye I'll Miss You So You've Though Gone But Leaves Do Change As Time Goes On And Though We Parted In The Ends For All The Time Spent In Love I Thank You
Cuz It Was You Before The Sunlight Back In My Life It Was You Who Promised Me Forever That Things Would Be Right It Was You Who Made Me Cry, Now To You I Say Goodbye Through The Lies And The Truth It Was...
You Who Never Spoke Your Feelings So Many Times I Tried To Tell You That You Were Losing Me But You Never Tried To Make Things Better But You Didnt Choose To Seeeee My Pain Now I've Got One Thing Left To Say It Was You
Cuz It Was You Before The Sunlight Back In My Life It Was You Who Promised Me Forever That Things Would Be Right It Was You Who Made Me Cry, Now To You I Say Goodbye Through The Lies And The Truth It Was You
When you're alone And you need the right direction Who will you call? As the stars glow bright The night brings cold And suddenly you're longing For someone to hold
Just look to the moon And you'll feel That my love's right there with you
Oooohhhhh
As the wind blows You move around in circles With nowhere to go You try to keep A sense of control But inside you're unhappy You long to feel whole
Just look to the moon And you'll feel That my love's right there with you
Just look to the moon And you'll feel That my love's right there with you
Mmmm
Oohhh
Yeeeaahh
Just look to the moon And you'll feel That my love's right there with you
Just look to the moon And you'll feel That my love's right there with you
Here I sit and wonder of a life that was But some how that's gon away This morning I woke to find my love had gone For reasons he did not say Funny how things are never what they seem But oooooh can we go back to where we used to be?
Oh, if I could have yesterday I'd make it so you never go away And I would never be lonely I'd give anything to hold you once again I prayed that you could love me until the end And I would never be lonely
Once we shared out world and anything I'd give Simply to see you smile This man was the center of my happiness If only for a short while Funny how things can change so easily But oooooh can we go back to where we used be?
Oh, if I could have yesterday I'd make it so you never go away And I would never be lonely I'd give anything to hold you once again I prayed that you could love me until the end And I would never be lonely
There was a time when I thought that love could never, never change There was time when you'd hold me close You'd take away my pain Well how those days What happen to forever?
Oh, if I could have yesterday I'd make it so you never go away And I would never be lonely I'd give anything to hold you once again I prayed that you could love me until the end And I would never be lonely
