People must prove to the people A better day is coming But you wait for me oh yeah, yeah Alright, alright, alright, then he said
If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right
How long have you hated your white teacher Who told you to love your black preacher Could you respect your brother's woman friend And share with black folks not of kin
People must prove to the people A better day is coming for you and for me And with a little bit more education With love for our nation will make a better society
Now some of us would rather cuss and make a fuss Than to bring about a little trust But we shall overcome our beliefs someday If you will only listen to what I have to say
How long have you hated your white teacher Who told you to love your black preacher Can you respect your brother's woman friend And share with black folks not of kin
I'm telling you, people must prove to the people A better day is coming for you and for me And with a little bit more education And love for our nation will make a better society
If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right
If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right
If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right
If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers
Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud I can't understand, I get misty just holding your hand
Walk my way and a thousand violins begin to play Or it might be the sound of your hello That music I hear, I get misty the moment you're near
You can say that you're leading me on But it's just what I want you to do Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost? That's why I'm following you
On my own, would I wander through this wonderland alone? Never knowing my right foot from my left My hat from my glove, I'm too misty and too much in love Oh yes, I'm in, oh, what a feeling
Oh, you can say that you're leading me on But it's just want I want you to do Don't you notice I'm hopelessly so lost? Thats why I'm following you
On my own, would I wander through this wonderland alone? Never knowing my right foot from my left My hat from my glove, I'm too misty and too much in love
I'm too misty, too misty and too much in love I'm too misty, too much in love If that's possible, I don't know
Through these misty eyes I see lonely skies Lonely road to Babylon Where's my family And my country heaven knows where I belong
Pack my bags tonight Here's one Jacobite Who must leave or surely die Put me on a train In the pouring rain say farewell but don't say goodbye
Seagull carry me, over land and sea To my own folk, that's where I want to be Every beat of my heart Tears me further apart I'm lost and alone in the dark I'm going home
One more glass of wine Just for auld lang syne And the girl I left behind How I miss her now In my darkest hour And the way our arms entwine
Seagull carry me, over land and sea To my own folk, that's where I want to be Every beat of my heart Tears me further apart I'm lost and alone in the dark I'm going home
And we'll drink a toast To the blood red rose Cheer a while the Emerald Isle And to the northern lights And the swirling pipes How they make a grown man cry
Seagull carry me, over land and sea To my own folk, that's where I want to be Every beat of my heart Tears me further apart I'm lost and alone in the dark I'm going home
You look inside my fantasies And make it one comes true Something no one else had ever found a way to do I kept the memories one by one Since you took me in I know I'll never love this way again
I know I'll never love this way again So I keep holding on before the good is gone I know I'll never love this way again Hold on, hold on, hold on
A fool will loose tomorrow Reaching out for yesterday I won't turn my head in sorrow If you should go away
I'll stand here and remember Just how good this been And I know I'll never love this way again
I know I'll never love this way again So I keep holding on before the good is gone I know I'll never love this way again Hold on, hold on, hold on 1979
Do nothing till you hear from me, Pay no attention to what's said Why people tear the seam Of anyone's dream Is over my head Do nothing till you hear from me, At least consider our romance If you should take the word Of others you've heard I haven't a chance
True, I've been seen with someone new But does that mean that I'm untrue? When we're apart, The words in my heart Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory And other arms may hold a thrill But please do nothing Till you hear it from me And you never will
oh don't u do a nuthin pay no attention to the stories so ive seen another guy or two don't mean im not in love with you why people tear the seam of anyone's dream ther reason is over my head don't you do a thing
until u hear it from me
please just consider what a dance our romance has been i'd certainly do it again if u should take the words of others you've heard i haven't got a chance
True, I've been seen with someone other than u But does that mean that now my love's untrue When we're apart, The words in my heart Reveal just how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory And other lovin arms may hold a thrill But baby do a nuthin Till you hear it from me o just do nuthin baby just a wait n and see cause baby oh no u never will u never will u never will oh oh no u never will
Them that's got shall get Them that's not shall lose So the Bible said and it still is news Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own
Yes, the strong gets more While the weak ones fade Empty pockets don't ever make the grade Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends Crowding round the door When you're gone, spending ends They don't come no more Rich relations give Crust of bread and such You can help yourself But don't take too much Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own
Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own He just worry 'bout nothin' Cause he's got his own
This bitter earth Well, what fruit it bears What good is love Mmmm that no one shares And if my life is like the dust Oooh that hides the glow of a rose What good am I Heaven only knows
Lord, this bitter earth Yes, can be so cold Today youre young Too soon, youre old But while a voice within me cries Im sure someone may answer my call And this bitter earth Ooooo may not Oh be so bitter after all
I'll be seeing you In all the old familiar places That this heart of mine embraces All day and through In that small cafe The park across the way The children carrousel The chestnut trees The wishing well
I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day In everything that's light and gay I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day In everything that's light and gay I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you
Don't know why, there's no sun up in the sky Stormy weather, since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere Stormy weather, just can't get my poor old self together I'm weary all the time, the time, so weary all of the time
When he went away, the blues walked in and met me If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me All I do is pray, the lord above will let me Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on, everything I had is gone Stormy weather, since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time Keeps raining all of the time
I walk around heavy-hearted and sad Night comes around and I'm still feeling bad Rain pourin' down, blinding every hope I had This pitter andd n patter and beating, spattering driving me mad Love, love, love, love, the misery will be the end of me
When he went away, the blues walked in and met me If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me All I do is pray, the lord above will let me Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on, everything I had is gone Stormy weather, since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time, the time Keeps raining all the time
