Spirit, heart and mind All the are suffering, knows they're not alone None of us are free None of us are free If you just look around you You're see what I say 'Cause the world's gettin' smaller each passin' day Now it's time to make some changes Now it's time all realized That the truth is shinin' right before our eyes 'Cause none of us are free None of us are free None of us are free if one of us is chained None of us are free Well it's the very heart of humanity 'Cause none of us are free if one of us is chained None of us are free None of us, none of us None of us, none of us None of us, none of us are free None of us, none of us None of us, none of us None of us, none of us are free None of us are free None of us are free None of us are free if one of us is chained None of us are free 'Cause it's the very truth We all need to see That none of us are free if one of us is chained None of us are free |

(Guitar solo) Oh well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray and the water fell down to the floor and I'm telling you, son, it ain't no fun, staring straight down a fourty-four. Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou, and that's the break I was looking for and you could hear me screaming a mile away as I was headed out toward the door. Oh won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister, gimme 3 steps toward the door? Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister and you'll never see me no more." |

Mama told me when I was young: "Come sit beside me, my only son, and listen closely to what I say and if you do this it will help you some sunny day." "Oh, take your time, don't live too fast. Troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman and you'll find love and don't forget, son, there is someone up above." 후렴 "And be a simple kind of man, oh, be something you love and understand. Baby, be a simple kind of man. Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can." "Forget your lust for the rich man's gold, all that you need is in your soul. And you can do this if you try. All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied." 후렴 반복 간주 "Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself. Follow your heart and nothing else. And you can do this, oh baby, if you try. All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied.' 후렴 반복 |

Have you ever lived down in the ghetto? Have you ever felt the cold wind blow? If you don't know what I mean, Won't you stand up and scream? 'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know. Too many lives they've spent across the ocean. Too much money been spent upon the moon. Well, until they make it right I hope they never sleep at night They better make some changes And do it soon. They're goin ruin the air we breathe Lord have mercy. They're gonna ruin us all, by and by. I'm telling you all beware I don't think they really care I think they just sit up there And just get high. |

Well I used to wake the morning before the rooster crowed
Searching for soda bottles to get myself some dough Brought 'em down to the corner, down to the country store Cash 'em in and give my money to a man named Curtis Loew Old Curt was a black man with white curly hair When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care He used to own an old dobro, used to play it across his knee I'd give old Curt my money, he'd play all day for me (Chorus) Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew I got your drinking money, tune up your dobro People said he was useless, them people are the fools 'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues He looked to be sixty, and maybe I was ten Mama used to whip me but I'd go see him again I'd clap my hands, stomp my feets, try to stay in time He'd play me a song or two Then take another drink of wine. Chorus Yes sir On the day old Curtis died, nobody came to pray Ol' preacher said some words, and they chunked him in the clay But he lived a lifetime playin' the black man's blues And on the day he lost his life, that's all he had to lose Play me a song Curtis Loew, Hey Curtis Loew I wish that you was here so everyone would know People said he was useless, them people all are fools 'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker to ever play the blues |

The man, he looked my way And everything that I dreamed of, it was real Money, girls and cars; and big long cigars And I caught the first plane home so papa would see When I went home to show 'em they was wrong All that I found was two tombstones Somebody tell me please was I right or wrong Oh, such a sad song First I got lost, then I got found But the ones that I love are in the ground Papa I only wish you could see me now Take a listen papa Whoo, I learnt how to play my guitar Gonna be a superstar First I got lost, then I got found The ones I love are in the ground Won't you tell me please was I right or wrong If there's any way you can hear what I say Papa, I never meant to do you wrong All the money, girls and cars. And all the words and all the cigars Papa, I just want you to know they couldn't take your place When I went home to show 'em they was wrong All that I found was two tombstones Somebody tell me please was I right or wrong Oh, such a sad song First I got lost, then I got found But the ones that I love are in the ground Somebody tell me please was I right or wrong |

Oh won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister, gimme 3 steps toward the door? Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister and you'll never see me no more." |

But there's a small town side to me And I feel it closin' in Are we too blind to see That she's die-in' more each day And she's cryin' out to you and me Chance is comin' when thier gone They curse a fool who waits too long So lets take care of what we have Before the good we know goes bad And the beauty fades and just slips away The dirty air and the die-in' seas Will this be the world we leave To the wild and young And say just look at what we've done And right before our eyes Today's yesterday, could be tomorrow's goodbye Here comes the rain. it might wash her tears away But it doesn't change a thing Like my brother before me All I can do is write this song and for her I sing Chance is comin' when we're gone They carve in stone what we've done wrong So lets take care of what we have Before the good we know goes bad And the beauty fades and just slips away The dirty air and the die-in' seas Will this be the world we leave To the wild and young And say just look at what we've done And right before our eyes Today's yesterday could be tomorrow's goodbye Do you ever think about the future or the past Do you ever wonder how long this world will last.....

Dig down and tell me what you find
Back in the pages left behind Everybody's got a story Ours ain't no different from the rest Each step we take, it's just a test On this broken road to glory When we were young and brave We fought to save the one thing that we loved We took the scared vow and signed our names in blood And through it all, we kept on shining We fought the doubt and faced the pain We built it up from dust and ashes To cheat the odds and rise again There's been a million miles of road Another million miles to go Still giving me a reason Most times your first could be your last God give me one more second chance Oh something to believe in Though it's easier to give it up Then to give it all you got Don't let it make you something that you're not And through it all, we kept on shining We fought the doubt and faced the pain We built it up from dust and ashes To cheat the odds and rise again And through it all the wheels kept turning Above the tears the truth stands tall, yeah Here we are, one in spirit We stand together through it all Oh, through it all When we were young and brave We fought to save the one thing that we loved We took the scared vow and signed our names in blood And through it all, we kept on shining We fought the doubt and faced the pain We built it up from dust and ashes To cheat the odds and rise again And through it all the wheels kept turning Above the tears the truth stands tall, yeah Here we are, one in spirit We stand together through it all Oh, through it all The wheels keep turning, through it all Oh, through it all |

I knew a man a long long time
But I never knew him at all Small in stature, big at heart Oh, he always stood tall From the time that he was born He had a style all his own In my mind he could do no wrong Misunderstood all along He worked hard all his life To get what he has today We would all be better off, if we could Hear those words that he had to say He was a little rough around the edges And through it all, we all knew he was A little rough around the edges Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you (Oh for you, for you) He took me by the hand And said son, what's your plan I won't stop you or stand in your way Someday you'll be a man I looked at him with hungry eyes That only youth can know With all his wisdom and all his years He said, I'll teach you all that you need to know He was a little rough around the edges And through it all, we all knew he was A little rough around the edges Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you (Oh for you, for you) Don't stop now, keep moving Don't worry about where you're going, I'll hear you You'll feel me, I'm there no matter where you go He was a little rough around the edges And through it all, we all knew he was A little rough around the edges Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you (Oh for you, for you) He was a little rough around the edges He was a little rough around the edges Simple in mind, oh oh Simple in mind, oh oh |

You know there's Dasher and Dancer
Prancer and Vixen Comet and Cupid Donner and Blitzen But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw him You would even say it glows All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say "Rudolph with your nose so bright Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" Then how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer You'll go down in history" Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say "Hey, Rudolph with your nose so bright Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" Then how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee "Hey, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer You'll go down in history" |

Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me out discourteously When I have loved you so so long Delighting in your company Your gown was of the grassy green Your sleeves of satin were hanging by Which made you be a harvest queen Yet you would not love me Green sleeves was my all my joy Green sleeves was my delight Green sleeves was my heart of gold And who but my lady green sleeves Alas my love you do me wrong To cast me out discourteously When I have loved you so so long Delighting in your company |

A wreath hung on our door There was christmas music on the radio When I stare outside my window Waiting for Santa to come I couldn't wait to see under our tree When Santa's work was done Singing hallelujah it's christmas Everybody all over the world tonight Singing hallelujah it's christmas It's christmas time again All year long I try to be As good as I could be Just a boy with all them childhood dreams Then I'd sit down and write "Dear Santa, Don't forget to come my way. I'll see you soon, and please make room For my guitar in your sleigh" Singing hallelujah it's christmas Everybody all over the world tonight Singing hallelujah it's christmas It's christmas time again Singing hallelujah it's christmas People all sharing their hearts tonight Singing hallelujah it's christmas It's christmas all over the world Have a happy christmas Make a joyful noise Have a happy christmas All us wild eyed boys I never got that ... But it taught me to believe That what means the most is only To give more than receive And if we could wish together I'd wish the world in harmony Cause if christmas could last forever What a better world it'd be Singing hallelujah it's christmas Everybody all over the world tonight Singing hallelujah it's christmas It's christmas time again Singing hallelujah it's christmas Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah it's christmas It's christmas time again Singing hallelujah it's christmas Everybody all over the world tonight Singing hallelujah it's christmas It's christmas time again Singing hallelujah it's christmas People all sharing their hearts tonight Singing hallelujah it's christmas It's christmas all over the world |

I was cuttin the rug down at a place called 'The Jug' with a girl named Linda Lou
When in walked a man with a gun in his hand he was looking for you know who He said "Hey there fellow with the hair coloured yellow, watcha tryin' to proove? Cuz' this is my woman there and I'm a man who cares and this might be all for you" (I said "excuse me!") I was scared and fearing for my life I was shaking like a leaf on a tree Cuz' he was lean and mean and big and bad, Lord, pointing that gun at me Oh! wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her don't want no trouble with you and I know you don't owe me but I wish you would let me ask one favour from you Say won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister, gimme 3 steps toward the door? Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister and you'll never see me no more." (Guitar solo) Oh well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray and the water fell down to the floor and I'm telling you, son, it ain't no fun, staring straight down a fourty-four. Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou, and that's the break I was looking for and you could hear me screaming a mile away as I was headed out toward the door. Oh won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister, gimme 3 steps toward the door? Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister and you'll never see me no more." |
