I remember back years ago I lived my life without too many cares,
Y'all And the truth of mine so hard to find was hidden there between So many lies As the shadows roll across my face the light appears and show Another side now Things I shoul know, no one told me, now I must go and I'm Begging U tonight... Say a prayer for me. Don't know where I'm gonna be, as I go on This journey Say a prayer me, uh, I'll say a prayer U Don't know where I'll end up. As I empty out my cup. So please Say a prayer for me Say a prayer for me and I'll say a prayer for U Now I lay myself down to sleep I pray my Lord will send me Someone to greet me As the light appears it seems so clear the things I didn't Understand before Now I'm looking over all my years I see now who the angel was Beside me If I hurt U please forgive me. I still need U and I'm begging U Tonight... Say a prayer for me. Don't know where I'm gonna be, as I go on This journey Say a prayer me, uh, I'll say a prayer U Don't know where I'll end up. As I empty out my cup. So please Say a prayer for me Say a prayer for me and I'll say a prayer for U Everybody needs a prayer sometimes something to know that U care When I'm Searching so long and hard to find a little bit of piece of Mind On my knees asking please, will U say a prayer for me? Ask and U shall receive. It's hard to live in times like these Fulfilling prophecies, over seas they're living with tragedies It's hard to know what to do, say a prayer for me I'll play my Prayer for U Say a prayer for me. Don't know where I'm gonna be, as I go on This journey Say a prayer me, uh, I'll say a prayer U Don't know where I'll end up. As I empty out my cup. So please Say a prayer for me Say a prayer for me and I'll say a prayer for U |

Just do it
Just do it Heeeyyyy Just do it Heeeyyyy Once upon a time there were some relatives of yours and mine The ancient ones that came before We've done our best to lay them all to rest It's hard to find them anymore (now that's for sure) But sometimes when I close my eyes I see that they're all still alive There're living way down deep inside our hearts Just talkin' to ya, livin' through ya Trying to get us all to do our part (So, when we gonna start?) Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view just do it like the natives do Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view I think I'll take a walkabout before the calendar run's out A vision quest to open up our minds The spirits keep in touch with me To let me know we're running out of time (yours and mine) We all say that we're in tune but still we stay bed 'till noon With all we see we still don't do enough Two buildings fall. we're still in bed asleep What does it take to wake us up? (I don't know) Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view Just do it like the natives do Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view We do, we do Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view Just do it like the natives do Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view We do, we do Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view Just do it like the natives do Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view We do, we do Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view Just do it like the natives do Heeeyyyy! We need another point of view We do, we do |

Send me 'round to the backdoor
Front wont let me in It's hard to keep being peacefull When these kind of days don't end Things will get better tomorrow At least that's what they say When I wake up in the morning It still looks like today If I could fly away I'd fly into the sky No one to ask me why I would be so free Just carry me away But on second thought... I guess I'll stay Help you find a better way No vacation no holiday I guess I'll do that another day Can't get in through the front door Send me 'round the back It's hard to keep being peacefull Stuff goin' on like that I aint got no one to talk to Talking just to me I'll see you in the future I don't know where I'll be I guess I'll stay A few more games I wanna play A few more things I wanna say A few more bills I have to pay |

Well I just got paid it's Friday Night. Feeling real good weekend in sight
Got a new phone, a new belt clip attached to my hip even got the chip Now everyone can get touch with me. I got 700 minutes and weekends free They even threw in an extra battery so I can keep in touch with my family Now everybody's is all in my mix. I had to go and learn all the cell phone tricks When someone tries to talk to me I just act like I'm talking on the phone you see My signals weak, my battery's dead. It must be true. That's what I said But if I ever get stranded I'm never alone What would I do without my cell phone? You gave me your number and I said I'd call. You said wuz cool, no the type to bawl You said you only used it for important calls but you didn't pick up and I know you saw My name, my number pop up on your screen, but you didn't pick up, yo, what that mean? It don't mean nuthin'. It ain't like that. Girl, you know I was gonna call you back Aw man, stop playin', I heart what your sayin' and I ain't trying to heat that jive I bet you got girls calling from around the world. Boy, and you know that's faul Hello! Can you hear me now? I know you can hear me! Can you hear me now? Don't play me like that. Can you hear me now? What would I do without my cell phone?

There's times I lay and close my eyes
There's a pull I feel that I cannot describe It's from the past, inside my soul It makes me yearn for things of which I did not know And it shows in my life, 'cause I'm intrigued so much at times I cry And I know this inside, it's from the ancient days of old Full of stories to be told Take me back to India. I wanna go 'cause I wanna know So, take me back to India. I wanna go 'cause I wanna know Take me there and let me be, let me learn the keys of harmony I know I'm blind so let me see who the man is that I'm supposed to be And I'll find a love that aims to take me to a plce above Where I am right now, I need to go back there some way some how I need to go back Take me back to India. I wanna go 'cause I wanna know So, take me back to India. I wanna go 'cause I wanna know I don't really know what I mean, but I can tell U what I see When I'm lying in between sleep and awake Let me tell U what I'm talking 'bout |

If I was your leader I would do my best
To keep that residue off my chest I would gather my congress. I wouldn't hesitate 'Cause there's a new law and it ain't up for debate The good book says, as far as I can tell Everybody's going to heaven or Help me find out Lord, Gotta find a better way There's a higher law we need to turn to and there's no more time to waste We need to sit right down in the middle of the floor Instead of running all over the place Open up your mind, it's time. We gotta leave those fears behind There's not much time at all y'all, 'cause there's a higher law Just like a magician, make me believe That U ain't got nothin' hidden up your sleeve Then U kill my brother 'cause U don't agree It may make sense to U but it don't to me I say going to church may be a start But the good book is written in your heart Don't U wait for tomorrow It's best U start today There's a higher law we need to turn to and there's no more time to waste We need to sit right down in the middle of the floor Instead of running all over the place Open up your mind, it's time. We gotta leave those fears behind There's not much time at all y'all, 'cause there's a higher law There's a new sun rising, coming over the hill Ain't no use running U'd be better off standing still And don't keep acting like we got to kill 'Cause it's time to go higher, higher, higher There's a higher law A higher law we need to turn to, or we may have to burn thru Unless we choose to learn through, through from our mistakes 'Cause that's sho'nuff what it takes to reach the higher ground To go from lost to found, so when the end times come We'll still be around Just like the song says, I'm talkin' 'bout a higher law Not the judge in city hall Take off your watch 'cause the time is right now. U Ain't Listenin' Anyhow! There's a higher law we need to turn to and there's no more time to waste We need to sit right down in the middle of the floor Instead of running all over the place Open up your mind, it's time. We gotta leave those fears behind There's not much time at all y'all, 'cause there's a higher law |
