Be Your Man

I PUT HER HAND TO MY HEART

AND SAID DON’T YOU FEEL HOW IT’S BEATING

DON’T BE AFRAID

DON’T BE AFRAID

SHE HELD A CHILD IN HER ARMS BUT

SHE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS WEEPING

BABY BLUE EYES

THE COLOR OF THE SKY

SO IF YOU’RE LONELY, AND YOU NEED ME

I’LL BE YOUR MAN

IF EVER TROUBLE COMES AROUND YOU

I’LL BE YOUR MAN

IF YOU GOT SOMETHING TO GO THROUGH

NEED SOMEONE TO HOLD YOU

JUST TAKE MY HAND

I’LL BE YOUR MAN

I’LL BE YOUR MAN

SHE HELD THAT CROSS TO HER SKIN

AND SAID JESUS, YOU HEAR HOW I’M PLEADING

A ROSE COLORED LENS

TO COVER UP MY SINS

SHE HELD HER FEELINGS WITHIN

AND SUDDENLY SCREAMED OUT IN PAIN

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN

I BEEN HERE ALL ALONG

SO IF YOU’RE LONELY, AND YOU NEED ME

I’LL BE YOUR MAN

IF EVER TROUBLE COMES AROUND YOU

I’LL BE YOUR MAN

IF YOU GOT SOMETHING TO GO THROUGH

NEED SOMEONE TO HOLD YOU

JUST TAKE MY HAND

I’LL BE YOUR MAN

I’LL BE YOUR MAN

I’M THE BURNING EMBER IN YOUR HEART

IF YOU LOSE YOUR WAY

I’LL BE YOUR FIRE IN THE DARK

SO IF YOU’RE LONELY, AND YOU NEED ME

I’LL BE YOUR MAN

IF EVER TROUBLE COMES AROUND YOU

I’LL BE YOUR MAN

IF YOU GOT SOMETHING TO GO THROUGH

NEED SOMEONE TO HOLD YOU

JUST TAKE MY HAND

I’LL BE YOUR MAN

I’LL BE YOUR MAN

All of the Above

WHAT IS LOVE? IS IT A PHYSICAL ATTRACTION?

IS IT SEXUAL SATISFACTION?

IS IT LONG LIFE TOGETHER?

GOING THROUGH ALL KINDS OF WEATHER

WHAT IS LOVE?

IS IT HOLDING EACH OTHER’S HANDS?

MAKING ALL KINDS OF PLANS

NEVER, NEVER SAYING GOODBYE

NEVER, NEVER MAKING EACH OTHER CRY

LOVE IS ALL OF THE ABOVE

THAT’S WHAT LOVE IS

LOVE IS EVERYTHING

UNDERNEATH THE SUN

THAT’S WHAT LOVE IS

ALL OF THE ABOVE

WHAT IS LOVE? IS IT A WALK IN THE PARK?

OR IS IT KISSING IN THE DARK?

IS IT STROLLING IN THE RAIN?

IS IT JOY?  OR IS IT PAIN?

WHAT IS LOVE?

IF LOVE’S REALLY THE ANSWER

THEN WHAT COULD BE THE QUESTION?

WHY DO I FEEL THIS WAY?

I LOOK IN THE SKY AND I PRAY

LOVE IS ALL OF THE ABOVE

THAT’S WHAT LOVE IS

LOVE IS EVERYTHING

UNDERNEATH THE SUN

THAT’S WHAT LOVE IS

ALL OF THE ABOVE

Orchid in the Storm

YOU’RE THE ROSE AMONG THE THORNS

YOU’RE THE DIAMOND IN THE DIRT

YOU’RE MY ORCHID IN THE STORM

I CAN’T SEE LIVING WITHOUT YOU

YOU’RE THE BEATING IN MY HEART

BEEN RIGHT THERE FROM THE START

I CAN’T SEE LIVING WITHOUT YOU

LIVING WITHOUT YOU

I CAN’T PICTURE LIFE WITHOUT YOU IN IT

I WANT YOU HERE BESIDE ME EVERY MINUTE

WHEN MY SKIES ARE GREY

YOU MAKE IT A BRIGHTER DAY

YOU’RE THE CHERRY IN MY PIE

YOU’RE THE APPLE OF MY EYE

I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF

I CAN’T SEE LIVING WITHOUT YOU

YOU’RE THE BEATING IN MY HEART

BEEN RIGHT THERE FROM THE START

I CAN’T SEE LIVING WITHOUT YOU

LIVING WITHOUT YOU

WHEN THE DARKNESS CLOSES IN

YOUR LOVE WILL LIGHT THE WAY

WHEN THE CLOUDS COME ROLLING IN

YOU’LL BE THERE RIGHT AS RAIN

YOU’RE THE ROSE AMONG THE THORNS

YOU’RE MY ORCHID IN THE STORM

THE DRUG TO CURE MY PAIN

I CAN’T SEE LIVING WITHOUT YOU

SO WHEN IT STARTS TO FADE

I KNOW YOU’LL BE THERE BY MY SIDE

I CAN’T SEE LIVING WITHOUT YOU

LIVING WITHOUT YOU

Stomping’ Ground

I WAS BORN IN THE SOUTHERN LAND

THAT’S WHERE I BECAME A MAN

MY ROOTS WAS DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS

THE BIRTH OF JAZZ AND VOODOO QUEENS

FROM THE HEART OF LOUISIANA

MARIE LAVEAUX, AND MOJO HANNAH

GREW UP ON THE MUSIC OF THE STREETS

SECOND LINE BANDS AND THE INDIAN BEATS

THAT’S WHERE IT’S GOING DOWN

BACK ON MY STOMPIN’ GROUND

‘FESSER LONGHAIR, FATS DOMINO

FROM SMILEY LEWIS, TO THE GREAT SATCHMO

FROM THE WILD TCHOUPATOULAS, TO THE CREOLE WILD WEST

NEITHER TRIBE DIDN’T TAKE NO MESS

FROM THE WAY UP TOWN IN THE THIRTEENTH WARD

THE CRESCENT CITY WAS MY BACK YARD

HUNG WITH MAC REBENNACK, AND SCARFACE JOHN,

HUNG IN THE DEW DROP, ALL NIGHT LONG

THAT’S WHERE IT’S GOING DOWN

BACK ON MY STOMPIN’ GROUND

WAY DOWN YONDER IN NEW ORLEANS

THE LAND OF THEM CREOLE QUEENS

I SURE LOVE THIS SOUTHERN TOWN

IT GOT ME THROUGH LOTS OF UPS AND DOWNS

TIMES WERE BAD, AND TIMES WERE GOOD

I OWE IT ALL TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD

FROM THE NINTH WARD TO WAY UPTOWN

EVERY BLOCK WAS MY STOMPING GROUNDS

THAT’S WHERE IT’S GOING DOWN

BACK ON MY STOMPIN’ GROUND

Hard to Believe

 WHAT’S WAITING ‘ROUND THE CORNER

WHAT’S LURKING ‘ROUND THE BEND

IS IT THE BEGINNING

THE BEGINNING OF THE END

SHOULD I TURN AROUND

OR KEEP STRAIGHT AHEAD

GET UP, SEE WHAT’S OUTSIDE

OR JUST STAY IN BED

WE NEVER KNOW WHERE LIFE WILL TAKE US

IS IT WAITING JUST TO BREAK US

WHEN WE GO ON FAITH ALONE

SOMETIMES IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE

GOTTA KEEP HOLDING ON

GOTTA KEEP HOLDING ON

WE CAN’T BE WEAK, WE MUST BE STRONG

AND BELIEVE WE CAN’T GO WRONG

WHAT YOU GET MUST BE DESERVED

SOMETIMES LIFE THROWS A CURVE

ROLLING WITH THE PUNCHES

FOLLOW ALL YOUR HUNCHES

WE MUST GO THE EXTRA MILE

AND ALWAYS MUSTER UP A SMILE

WE NEVER KNOW WHERE LIFE WILL TAKE US

IS IT WAITING JUST TO BREAK US

WHEN WE GO ON FAITH ALONE

SOMETIMES IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE

WHAT’S GOING ON

WHAT’S GOING ON

SHOW YOURSELF

IF YOU’RE OUT THERE

IF YOU HEAR ME

‘CUS IT’S BEEN SO HARD

IT’S BEEN HARD

HARD TO BELIEVE

WHAT’S GOING ON

WHAT’S GOING ON

WHAT’S ON THE HORIZON

WHAT’S BURNING IN THE SKY

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT’S COMING

IT’S TURNING ON A DIME

THE WORLD WILL KEEP ON RUNNING

IT’S SPINNIN’ ALL THE TIME

YOU GOTTA KEEP ON MOVING

OR YOU’LL BE ON THE OTHER SIDE

WE NEVER KNOW WHERE LIFE WILL TAKE US

IS IT WAITING JUST TO BREAK US

WHEN WE GO ON FAITH ALONE

SOMETIMES IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE

WHAT’S GOING ON

GOTTA KEEP MOVING ON

GOTTA KEEP MOVING ON

GOTTA KEEP MOVING ON

Ain’t Gonna Judge You

WHO ARE YOU TO BE TALKING

ABOUT WHAT I DO

IF IT AIN’T ABOUT YOU AND ME

I AIN’T WALKED IN YOUR SHOES

YOU AIN’T ROCKED IN MY BLUES

I GOT BLISTERS OF MY OWN

DON’T WORRY BOUT ME

AND WHAT I DO

IF YOU DON’T JUDGE ME

I AIN’T GONNA JUDGE YOU

WHEN YOU FIRST TOOK MY PHOTOGRAPH

YOU WERE A FRIEND YOU EVEN MADE ME LAUGH

TOOK ME TO HAVE AND TO HOLD

OH SWEET SARAH ANN

OH SWEET SARAH ANN

WITH YOUR LENS YOU SAW RIGHT THRU ME

YOU SAW EVERYTHING THAT I COULD BE

YOU SAVE ME FROM MY HELL

YOU PICKED ME UP WHEN I FELL

I WANNA WAKE UP WITH YOU EVERYDAY

WHEN I DO I WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY

YOU’LL ALWAYS BE MINE

FOREVER ‘TIL THE END OF TIME

OH SWEET SARAH ANN

OH SWEET SARAH ANN

YOU KNOW A PICTURE SAYS A THOUSAND WORDS

SAYS THINGS OH THAT COULD NEVER BE HEARD

CAPTURED MY IMAGE AND STOLE MY HEART

I PRAY TO HEAVEN WE’LL NEVER PART

OH SWEET SARAH ANN

OH SWEET SARAH ANN

OH SWEET SARAH ANN

OH SWEET SARAH ANN

Make Your Momma Cry

WHY IN THE WORLD YOU WANNA BE SO BAD

YOU GIVE HEART TROUBLE TO YOUR DEAR OLD DAD

THINKING YOU’RE BADDEST MAN AROUND

SOON THEY’RE GONNA PLANT YOU IN THE GROUND

TROUBLE GONNA RUN YOU DOWN

TROUBLE GONNA RUN YOU DOWN

REVENGE

KARMA’S GONNA GUN YOU DOWN

KARMA’S GONNA GUN YOU DOWN

ONE DAY YOU’LL MAKE YOUR MOMMA CRY

YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS BETTER STOP STEALIN’ ALL OF THEM CARS

BEFORE YOU LOCKED UP BEHIND THEM BARS

AS SURE AS YOU’RE BORN YOU’RE BOUND TO DIE

SO WIPE THAT TEAR FROM YOUR MAMA’S EYE

TROUBLE GONNA RUN YOU DOWN

TROUBLE GONNA RUN YOU DOWN

REVENGE

KARMA’S GONNA GUN YOU DOWN

KARMA’S GONNA GUN YOU DOWN

ONE DAY YOU’LL MAKE YOUR MOMMA CRY

YOUR TAIL’S GONNA DRAG THE GROUND

IF YOU DON’T STOP BEING SO DOWN

BOY YOU KNOW YOU BETTER TAKE HEED

IT’LL BE A LOST BALL IN THE HIGH WEEDS

YOU GONNA KILL YOUR MAMA WITH ALL THEM BLUES

SIX FEET UNDERNEATH YOUR SHOES

THINKING SHE DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU DO

BUT THE RED ANTS GONNA BRING HER THE NEWS

TROUBLE GONNA RUN YOU DOWN

TROUBLE GONNA RUN YOU DOWN

REVENGE

KARMA’S GONNA GUN YOU DOWN

KARMA’S GONNA GUN YOU DOWN

REVENGE

TROUBLE GONNA RUN YOU DOWN

TROUBLE GONNA RUN YOU DOWN

REVENGE

KARMA’S GONNA GUN YOU DOWN

KARMA’S GONNA GUN YOU DOWN

ONE DAY YOU’LL MAKE YOUR MOMMA CRY

Fragile World

A FRAGILE WORLD

EVERYONE’S IN THE PATH

NO ONE’S SAFE

FROM ITS MIGHTY WRATH

TORNADOS, EARTHQUAKES

AND HURRICANES

FOREST FIRES, MUDSLIDES

 TORRENTIAL RAIN

HEAT WAVES, FLOODS, AND BLIZZARDS

MELTING OF POLAR ICE

AND IF ALL THAT’S NOT BAD ENOUGH HUMANS JUST WONT PLAY NICE

THERE’S SO MUCH BEYOND OUR CONTROL

BUT THE THINGS WE DO

WILL SURELY TAKE A TOLL

LIKE PEOPLE COMMITTING SUICIDE

JUST TO TAKE UNSUSPECTING, INNOCENT LIVES

LIKE METEORS FALLING FROM THE SKIES

POLITICIANS TELLING LIES

LIKE MARVIN SAID OIL SPILLED OVER OUR OCEANS AND OUR SEAS

I AGREE WITH HIM FOR SAYING MERCY MERCY ME

AND WANTING TO KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON

I’D LIKE TO KNOW WHERE THE LOVE HAS GONE

ALL OVER THESE UNITED DIVIDED STATES

THERE’S STILL SO MUCH FEAR

AND SO MUCH HATE

WILL WE EVER GET IT TOGETHER?

ON THIS EARTH, WE’RE ALL SISTERS AND BROTHERS

LIKE MARTIN SAID, WE BETTER LIVE TOGETHER AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS

OR DIE TOGETHER AS FOOLS

STOP FILLING OUR HEARTS WITH HATRED

BREAKING ALL THE RULES

WE’RE THE HIGHER UPS ON THE ANIMAL CHAIN

BUT SOME TIMES WE JUST DON’T USE OUR BRAINS

MOST ANIMALS KILL FOR FOOD

MAN KILLS IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD

NUCLEAR THREATS ALL OVER THE LAND

MAN WANTING TO ANNIHILATE OTHER MAN

TEARS FOR FEARS SAID

EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD

BUT IT BELONGS

TO EVERY WOMAN, MAN, BOY AND GIRL

WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SHARE THIS LAND

IT DON’T JUST BELONG TO ONE MAN

I DON’T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS

DON’T THINK ANYBODY DOES

IF THERE WAS A CURE FOR CANCER

AND A WHOLE LOT MORE LOVE

I’LL SAY A PRAYER BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP

AND ASK GOD FOR ALL OUR SOULS TO KEEP

A FRAGILE, FRAGILE WORLD

THAT’S ALL WE GOT Y’ALL

I JUST WANT TO SAY PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL

TO EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY

ON THIS ONE AND ONLY PLANET

YEAH YOU RIGHT
