and if only you could see into me

i'll be there 
hold you tight to me 

when you're on the outside baby and you can`t get in 
i will show you you're so much better than you know 
when you're lost and you're alone and you cant get back again 
i will find you darling and i will bring you home 

and if you want to cry 
i am here to dry your eyes 
and in no time 
you'll be fine

king of sorrow

i'm crying everyone's tears 
and there inside our private war i died the night before 
and all of these remnants 
of joy and disaster 
what am i supposed to do 
i want to cook you a soup that warms your soul 
but nothing would change nothing would change at all 
it's just a day that brings 
it all about 
just another day 
and nothing's any good 

the dj's playing the 
same song 
i have so much to do 
i have to carry on 
i wonder if this grief will 
ever let me go 
i feel like 
i am the king 
of sorrow 
the king of sorrow 

i suppose i could just walk away 
will i disappoint my future 
if i stay 
it's just a day that brings 
it all about 
just another day 
and nothing's any good 
the dj's playing the 
same song 
i have so much to do 
i have to carry on 
i wonder will this grief 
ever be gone 
will it ever go 
i'm the king 
of sorrow 
the king of sorrow 

i'm crying everyone's tears 
i have already paid for all 
my future sins 
there's nothing anyone 
can say to take this away 
it's just another day 
and nothing's any good 

i'm the king 
of sorrow 
king of sorrow 




somebody already broke my heart

you came along when i 
needed a saviour 
someone to pull me 
through somehow 
i've been torn apart so

i've been hurt so many 
times before 
so i'm counting on you now 

somebody already 
broke my heart 
somebody already 
broke my heart

many times 
i've been hurt so many 
times before 
so be careful and be kind 

somebody already 
broke my heart 
if someone has to lose 
i don't want to play

broke my heart 
no no i can't go there again

slave song
       
i see them gathered see 
them on the shore 
i turned to look once more 
and he who knows me not takes me to the belly 
of darkness 

the tears run swift and hard and when they fall 
even the comfort of a stone would be a gain 
there was a time 
when i thought 
i would have to give up 
but i'm thankful that i'm 
strong as i am and i'll try to do 
the best i can 

tears will run swift and tears will come that fall like rain 
i pray that it's swift though tears will fall as cold as pain 

i pray to the almighty 
let me not to him do 
as he has unto me 
teach my beloved children 
who have been enslaved 
to reach for the light continually 

so many times i prayed 
so many times i've prayed 
for you 
prayed for you 
the tears run swift and hard and cold as pain 
even the comfort of a stone would be a gain 
had i not the strength and wisdom of a warrior 
i would have to give up 
but i'm thankful that i'm 
strong as i am 
and i'll try to do the best i can 

tears will run swift and tears will come that fall like rain 
i pray that it's swift though tears will fall as cold as pain 

i pray to the almighty 
let us not do as he has unto us 
teach my beloved children 
i've been a slave 
but reach for the 
light continually 

wisdom is the flame 
wisdom is the brave warrior who will carry us into the sun 
i pray that it's swift though tears will come that fall like rain 

so many times so many times 




the sweetest gift

quietly while you were asleep 
the moon and i were talking 
i asked that she'd always keep you protected 
she promised you her light that you so gracefully carry 
you bring your light and shine like morning 
and then the wind pulls the clouds across the moon 
your light fills the darkest room 
and i can see the miracle that keeps us from falling 
she promised 
all the sweetest gifts 
that only the heavens 
could bestow 
you bring your light and shine like morning 
and as you so gracefully give her light as long as you live 
i will always remember 
this moment 




every word

i saw a picture 
how could you be so careless 
how could you have done that 
to us 
and i write this letter 
i send it all back to you 
and every word you said 

in there every word 
oh oh 
how could you have done that to us 

you treated me like a stranger 
and all the time i was loving you 
all your slick moves they were once innocent moves 
i wanted to look up to you 
i really trusted you 
and every word you said 

in there every word 
oh oh 
how could you have done that to us 

i was loving you like a child 
all the time you were smiling the same smile 
i was loving you like a child 
i really trusted you 

every word you said 
every word you said 
love is what the word was 

every word you said 
every word you said 
all the time you were smiling 
love is what the word was 

every word you said 
every word that you said 
i was loving you like a child yeah 
and all the time you were smiling the same smile 
i was loving you like a child 
i really trusted you

immigrant

coming from where he did 
he was turned away from 
every door like joseph 
to even the toughest among us 
that would be too much 
he didn't know what it was 
to be black 
'til they gave him his change but didn't want to touch 
his hand 
to even the toughest among us 
that would be too much 

isn't it just enough 
how hard it is to live 
isn't it hard enough 
just to make it through a day 

the secret of their fear 
and their suspicion 
standing there looking 
like an angel 
in his brown shoes 
his short suit 
his white shirt 
and his cuffs a little frayed 
coming from where he did 
he was such a dignified child 
to even the toughest among us 
that would be too much 


isn't it just enough 
how hard it is to live 
isn't it hard enough 
just to make it through a day 

coming from where he did 
he was turned away from 
every door like joseph 
to even the toughest among us 
that would be too much 
he didn't know what it 
was to be black 
'til they gave him his change but didn't want to touch 
his hand 
to even the toughest among us 
that would be too much

it's only love that gets you through

girl you are rich 
even with nothing 
you know tenderness 
comes from pain 
it's amazing how you love 
and love is kind 
and love can give 
and get no gain 

it's down a rugged road 
you've come 
though you had every reason you didn't come undone 
somehow you made it to 
the other side 
you didn't suffer in vain 

you forgive those who have trespassed against you 
and you know tenderness comes from pain 
it's amazing how you love 
and love is kind 
and love can give 
and love needs 
no gain 

it's down a rugged road 
you've come 
though you had every reason you didn't come undone 
somehow you made it to 
the other side 
you didn't suffer in vain 

you didn't suffer in vain 
you know it's only love 
that gets you through 
only love love 
only love that gets 
you through
