Lyrics:
I just got to tell you what I saw last night
I wish I was guessing but I know that I'm right
She walked in the place with a smile on her face
the little children of the world
Everything is beautiful in its' own way
Like a starry summer night or a snow covered winter's day
Everybody's beautiful
Heights of great men reach and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight
Gee while their companions slept
Very ackwardtile in through the night
emphasize the show, we got ego
Make this your night, just slip it right, and by day
As the people say, live it up, shucks
No work or play, our world is free
emphasize the show, we got ego
Make this your night, just slip it right, and by day
As the people say, live it up, shucks
No work or play, our world is free
Caught in the nights I weep
Waking from nightmares that cost my sleep
Reminding myself to breathe
Even on days where I don't want to live
Trying so
Children stop to steel, listen to me
God walked down by the Briny sea
Beheld evil of the sinful men
Declared that he would destroy the land
Spoke to Noah
the little children of the world
Everything is beautiful in its' own way
Like a starry summer night or a snow covered winter's day
Everybody's beautiful
Covered by the blood they shed so many lost their lives,
The fight on that Virginia hill was enough to make Him cry.
Some say it was the cannon smoke
were right there by mama's side
Your ma had a sickness son all the works she'd done
And she prayed all her life that God would let her raise you to be
Flowers for her golden hair
(Oh, ho)
Some men plow the open plains
Some men sail the brine
But I'm in love with a pretty little maid
For work I
She's crushed by thoughts
At night of men
Who want her rights
And usually win
But she's alive
Oh, she's alive
She's alive
Oh, she's alive
He
out
When I shake your hand I'ma look you in the eye
And if I'm wrong, I'll apologize
I'm still tryin' to live by a couple things I picked up
Where
Have you ever walked the lonesome hills and heard the curlews cry?
Or seen the raven black as night upon a windswept sky?
To walk the purple heather
We used to dance the night away
Me and my sister me and my brother
We used to walk down by the river
Mama lives in Mandeville
And I can hardly wait
in prison anymore
We were taught to shoot our rifles
Men and women side by side
Thought we'd be met as liberators
In a thousand-year-old fight
I
Then they came on me
They dragged me from the bar
Still wet from sweat and beer
I bruise so prettily by men
Blinded by their fear, these men
crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst
a hoin' corn
Mommy she's rock the babies at night
And read the Bible by the coal oil light
And ever' thing would start all over come break of morn
find my way
Out I been trapped for the longest I been trapping for the longest
Girl I know you worried every night don't know if I'm coming
Home I
You ain't in boot camp anymore
We were taught to shoot our rifles
Men and women, side by side
Thought we'd be met as liberators
In
lose love than to move on never knowing what it feel like,
Short days, long nights,
By the phone, no call,
Need a clear mind 'cause I been blind,got me
stuck on the ceiling
Drop down in to feeling
The weight of this nightmare once again
'Cause we are living through the longest night
But we can't get no
Hammer fly, you can't touch
J's so fly I should work at Flight Club
Put on my J's and dance the whole night away
I'm naughty by nature like I'm
