Hello
Good morning
How are you?
How am I, I'm doing
(Fine)
So fine
(So fine)
So fine
Hello
Good morning
How are you?
How am I doing?
(fine)
(so fine)

Written By Knight/Drakes/Shorten/Noble

From a place that had no meaning
From the wilderness of time
To the land of new beginning
Starting with a new design
Never doubted for a second
That I'd do it on my own
And I held onto my corner
Trusted in the things I know

You will never feel
How good it is to love me
Rather than control me
I don't need the world weighing down my shoulders
But that's all over here I am

I made it back
From a place called nowhere
I made it back
To do this once again
I made it back
From a place called nowhere
I made it back
Once again I made it back

Got a chance to fix up neatly
Set it off and not too late
Saw the light and walked towards it
I'm the master of my late
Coming up just wasn't easy
It took all the strength I had
Now I'm ready for the action
Mamma got a brand nu bag

You will never feel
How good it is to love me
Rather than control me
I don't need the world weighing down my shoulders
But that's all over here I am

Chorus (x2)

Flava, flava, flava
Brand new flava, flava flava

Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again
Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again

Funny how, when in love, everything your baby does has meaning
Then it ends, love is spurned and then your sanity returns you seething
What do you do?
You scream you shout you fall about, you do whatever suits ya
Yourself control is left to doubt
Revenge it seems so right
You weep you wail you tell your tale
To anyone who'll listen
Then when you find the time to chill, discover life is out there still, so

Find a way to start it again
Bring it back and start it over
Find another way to begin
Fade to grey and turn it over
Find a way to start it again
Bring it back and start it over, again, again, again

Most of us in our lives, made a choice and sacrificed our feelings
And who's to say, that you're okay, when you feel like the layers of your soul are peeling
Oh and I know, all you want is solitude, cuz you're ain't in the mood
But you gotta find a way to start again, so

Chorus

Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again
Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again

Oh and I know, all you want is solitude, cuz you're ain't in the mood
But you gotta find a way to start again

Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again
Restart, retrigger, press rewind and you just come again
Reset, reprogramme, wheel it back and you just come again

Chorus (x3)

You're a medicine baby
Just a little dose and I feel so fine
You're everything that I want
Yet everything that I fear
You are

You're an enema baby
You don't feel right but you can't leave my system
You're everything that I have
Yet nothing that I own (this is so wrong)

Damn the reason why
Can't get you off my head and say goodbye
And do I have to live this life a fool?
Knowing when I'm lonely I just keep coming back to you
Damn the reason why
Can't get you off my head and say goodbye
And do I have to live this life a fool?
Always coming back to you

(Gotta tell you)
You're an opiate baby
Send me on a high but in the end you'll kill me
I need to keep my sanity
That's the one thing that you'll take from me

(Ooh ooh ohh ooh baby)
You're a tidal wave baby
Dangerous to ride, but the rush is amazing
You've made me what I have become
Something I should have never have begun

And how is it so
That you stay with me like my own shadow
Hell, I've got my pride
So why do I keep coming on back
To
You
And oh

Chorus

Ain't nothing but those silly games
That's bonding you to my mind
Ain't no rhyme or reason other than "ooh bedtime"
Simply put, I just love to look at you
'Cos to love ya is a waste of time
That's the sum of it
No denying it
Cos we both know we're through

Oh! Damn the reason
That you should make me want you so
When I'm lonely - that's when you come
Why do I invite this misery?
Oh! Damn the reasons that make me cover both my eyes
So I can't see just what you are
And what you've done to me

Chorus (x2)

I'm a fool, just keep on coming back to you

Written By Knight/McIntosh

I never see you anymore, you're absent without leave

In life I learned a lot of things and what it brings to ya
And how it's good to be alone sometimes
I should've known you'd get an itch and you would switch on me
And runaway when day turned into night

'cause you're a good time sister, always out for something better
Just when I need a friend, you're absent without leave
Good time brother, called you friend when I knew better
Ain't got no time to spend, you're absent without leave

So many people that I found say they're down with ya
Then like a ship they sail on with a breeze
See in the sun, they get a touch and it's too much for 'em
They fall around you like the winter leaves

A little rain and they would run for cover (I can still remember)
When no one else could see the need to shelter (How could I forget?)
And knowing better times were round the corner (O I can still remember)
So now when summer skies turn into grey, here's what I say

Chorus (x2)

I never hear I never see you
I never hear I never see you no more (x3)

Chorus (x3)

Remember the time, I needed more than loving
The reassurance, that someone cared for me
You gave completely, with no conditions added
I'm standing by you for your time of need
You will see...

Lean on me
I'm your strong hand
I'm your strong hand
Lean on me
I'm your strong hand
I'm your strong hand

Let me enfold you, in love that feels familiar
I see you're hurting; I'll take your pain away
Rivers of sorrow, flow only for a season
Into the sea of tranquility, you will see...

Chorus

Ah yeah, Lean on me
You will see you're in my safety zone
You know
That my hand is strong
Lean on me
You will see you're in my safety zone
(You know)
That my hand is strong

You-ou
You can lean
Yes you can
You can lean
Ooh-ooh

Chorus (x2)

Written By Knight/Thomas/Pheto

It's a good thing the air feels cool today
And it's better that God, don't send the rain
And it's best if heaven holds back the clouds
Cuz inside 'o' me there's fire untamed

See everyday I find that 4 leaf clover
And everyday Lady Luck is at my door
And all of the fear I fight is in remission
To come around no more

And I'm feeling good, never better
In fact it's the greatest day of my life
And I'm feeling good, never better
In fact it's the greatest day of my life

It's a good thing your heater broke down today
And it's better you keep them drinks on ice
And it's best if you got them chills down in your soul
Cuz the heat inside 'o' me will surely suffice

And none of the world's restraints could ever hold me
and none of the superficial could tie me down
and none of the pain I felt was enough to break me
See my face was never made to from

Chorus

And I'm feeling... (Good)
Could you qualify that? (Never better)
And what day is today people? (The greatest day of my life, ah-ooh!) (Good)
Ohh (Never better ooh)
And what day is it?
(Whoah greatest day, greatest day)

See everyday I find that 4 leaf clover
And everyday Lady Luck is at my door
And all of the fear I fight is in remission
To come around no more

Chorus (x3)

All things work for better (gotta work together)
When people learn to love

We know that all things work together for our good (let me sing about it)
And that's alright (so right)
Alright (so good)
We know that all things work together for our good (and that's alright)
And that's alright

We know that all things work together for our good (think about it)
And that's alright (so right)
Alright (alright)
We know that all things work together for our good (I know, I know)
And that's alright
So right
So good

And it feels good
(Work together for our good)
Let me shout it out
(that's alright, so right)
(Alright, so right)
Said it's all good
So good
(Work together for our good)
(And that's alright)
(That's alright)

Somethin' deep is going on
Mother Nature set it off
I feel that we that we can carry on
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Somethin' deep is going on
Mother Nature set it off
I feel that we that we can carry on
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

We're not over yet
See our journey's just beginning and the future's set
Cos' see I need to be with you
Don't you worry none
See my shoes ain't walking nowhere but right back to home
Cos' see this vibe I feel is love

Chorus

There's a higher source
That sets the wheels of love in motion
It's the unseen force that'll bind us closer still
I just can't resist - and if I did it would be futile
See with every kiss, I, I, I can't help myself

Chorus

I believe it (do ya?)
Yes I do
Mother nature's settin' it off (set if off)
We got it (we got it)
A love so deep (yeah)
Believe it
I believe in us (do ya?)
Yes I do
Mother nature's settin' it off (set if off)
We got it (we got it)
A love so deep (so deep)

Baby just me and you
Together it's just us two
And it's getting deeper, yeah
Baby just me and you
Together it's just us two
It's getting deeper

Chorus (x4)

(Over and over and over)
Mmm, send me, move me love me
(Over and over and over)
Send me
Sugar

Have you ever seen me sit and wonder why you're here with me?
Of anyone you'd have your pick
Yet here is where you choose to be
Oh-oh
When you ask me why I smile (when you ask me why I smile)
Whenever you say my name (my name, my name, my name)
See when you speak you got this tone (talk to me babe)
Gives me thoughts I shouldn't say, ooh

Heaven preordained this
Nothing on earth could break us

(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me (send me)
Move me
Love me
(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me (love me baby)
(Move me baby love)
Sugar ohh...

Lover's Rock describes your groove
Rude boy, love is heavenly (Rude boy gimme rude boy love come on)
Cocoa butter chocolate smooth (cocoa butter chocolate smooth)
Dark skinned angel all for me (yeah yeah)
Heaven preordained this
Nothing on earth could break us

(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me
Move me
Love me
(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me (love me baby)
(Move me baby love)

Love just doesn't say enough (enough enough)
And yet it's everything and more
God gave you all the stuff (sent me an angel)
to give me what I'm looking for

Heaven preordained this
Nothing on earth could break us

Send me (send me)
(Move me)
(Love me)
Sugar don't you know?
Don't you know? Send me (love me baby)
(Move me baby love)

(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me
Move me
Love me
(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me (love me baby)
(Move me baby love)

(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me
Move me
Love me
(Ooh... over and over and over again)
Send me (over and over and over again)
(Move me baby love)

For Those Who Know

Written By Knight/McIntosh (1998)

Would I want, what I got, what I need (x2)

I got a canvas, paint and brushes too
What I need is the memory, to paint a picture of you
Love at a distance, my world's torn in two
And nothing, that I got, could ever compare, to the need of you
To the need of you

I know the journey, I know the distance and the time
But what I need is you beside me, to make my drive sublime
Love at a distance, my worlds torn in two
And nothing I got could ever compare, to the need of you
To the need of you

Would I want, ain't no little one time thing
What I got, is a bondafire love
What I need, is to have you closer to me
Cuz all this spare and time it don't ease my mind no

What I want, is for you to remember me
What I got, is the fear that you won't
What I need, is to bring our minds together
So we're synchronized when we fantasise oh, love at a distance
Oh baby, nothing that I got could ever compare to the need of you

Written By Knight/Sharbek

Starting at the beginning in a history of pain
It's hard to realise, a dream I've fantasised for so long
Suddenly my position turns around within one day
A transformation came born with freedom's name

This brave new world I live in seems a little easier to face
This deep blue sea I swim in, bears me up enough so I can float away

Hey hello good morning world
Yesterday's another girl
Lovin' every minute of my life, my life
Morning came to right the wrong
Yesterday's another song
Lovin' every minute of my life, my life

Got a whole new religion, I got a change of scenery
And yet in different ways, nothing ceases to amaze me
I'm a whole new woman, In a different kind a'way
Yet I remain unfazed my mind and body still un-swayed

This brave new world I live in never seems to hurt me anymore
This deep blue sea I swim in always seems to bring me to a safer shore

Chorus

Hello, good morning, how are you? Fine so fine
Hello good morning, how are ya doin? Fine so fine
Hello good morning, how are you? Fine so fine
Hello good morning, how are ya doin? Fine so fine

This deep blue sea I swim in always seems to bring me to a safer shore

Chorus (x3)

Hear me!

Yeah-ah
Oh oh
Ooh-ooh
Uh, hear what, hear what, hear what

Watch the way that people change
Flip the script and rearrange
Hoping they can just belong
Even when it's wrong, uh huh

Searching for identity
What's the next philosophy?
What's the next big thing in town?
That they can surround?

(Don't feel no shame)
Let them know you're not the same
(Don't feel no way)
You stand tall while people sway
(True to yourself)
Leave them fakers on the shelf
(Heed your calling)
Go and do your thing,
hear me...

Get up, get up and hold your ground
You don't care what goes around
Stand up, stand up and hold your ground
Hold your ground
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me

Watch the way that people go
To the cat that runs the show
Next thing they are rolling thick
Down with that clique, hmm

Soon enough they act the same
Walk the same and talk the same
Until these so called inspired
State the look is tired

(Don't feel no shame)
Let them know you're not the same
(Don't feel no way)
You stand tall while people sway
(True to yourself)
Leave them fakers on the shelf
(Heed your calling)
Go and do your thing,
Let me hear you say...

Get up, get up and hold your ground
You don't care what goes around
Stand up, stand up and hold your ground (stand up)
Hold your ground
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me

(Get up! Get up!)
Yeah
(You gotta gotta!)
(Stand up! Stand up)
Stand up on me
(Get up! Get up!)
Alright
(You gotta gotta!)
(Stand up! Stand up!)
Yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)
(Ah-ha-ah-ha-ah-ha)
(Ah-ha, ah-ha)
(Ah-ha-ah-ha-ah-ha)
Get up and
Stand up and
Hold it
Get up and
Stand up and
Hold it
Feel it!

(Don't feel no shame)
Let them know you're not the same
(Don't feel no way)
You stand tall while people sway
(True to yourself)
Leave them fakers on the shelf
(Heed your calling)
Oh, go and do your thing,
Let me hear you say....

Get up, get up and hold your ground
You don't care what goes around (oh no)
Stand up, stand up and hold your ground (stand up and)
Hold your ground
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me (hold on)

Get up, get up and hold your ground (uh)
You don't care what goes around (get up and)
Stand up, stand up and hold your ground (stand up and)
Hold your ground
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me
Dem no bigger than us
No bigger than we
No bigger than you
No bigger than me

People say that together we were both sides of the same coin
That we would shine like Venus in a clear night sky
We thought our love could overcome the circumstances
But my ambition wouldn't allow for compromise

I could see in the distance all the dreams that were clear to me
And every choice I had to make left you on your own
Somehow the road we started down had split us somewhere
Too late to realise how far apart we'd grown.

How I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more
Now " Shoulda woulda coulda," means I'm out of time
Coz "Shoulda woulda coulda", can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool

People ask how it feels to live the kind of life others dream about
I tell them everybody gotta face their highs and their lows
And in my life there's a love that I put aside, cause I was busy loving
something else
So for every little thing you hold on to, you've got to let something else go

Chorus

Fool if I would now forsake the opportunities are fate
I know I'm right where I belong
But sometimes when I'm not so strong I..

Chorus (x2)

this womans eyes ent got no colour
when i think about life without you
and even if its for the best regardless
its the hardest thing to do
looking at the path we'vr taken
we didn't leave a stone unturned
but don't you believe that this dont slay me
even if i act concerned

chorus
with a smile i'll face the world
though my eyes reflect the truth
i'm moving on
but you know i do
with a hole in my heart in the shape of you
with a hole in my heart in the shape of you

i step into unchartered water
and i'm afraid of what i've done
see i can't head towards my future
reminicing on just how far we had come ( yea )
maybe we could find redemption (maybe)
maybe then it all could make sense
but until then i must believe these words
even though i think you know
that i'm unconvinced

chorus

Stranger on the face of it,
Brother in the heart of a nation that prays for you,
Loves you.
Calls you by name

Struck out. Like some criminal,
Cut down like an animal.
Suddenly everything I know,
Just ain't the same.

We ask for solution?
Did anyone hear us?
For your retribution
Did anyone care?
So while this world marches on with the memory gone
My heart will remember.

You are my fallen soldier,
One of our many martyas,
I would have loved to know you,
Still you're my fallen soldier.

You are my fallen soldier,
One of our many martyas,
I would have loved to know you,
Still you're my fallen soldier.

You are my fallen soldier,
One of our many martyas,
I would have loved to know you,
Still you're my fallen soldier.
