I Believe

Walk blindly to the light
and reach out for his hand
Don't ask any questions
and don't try to understand
Open up your mind
and then open up your heart
And you will see that you and me
aren't very far apart
'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
Violence is spread worldwide
and there are families on the street
And we sell drugs to children now oh why can't we justsee
That all we do is eliminate our future with the thingswe do today
Money is our incentive now so that makes it okay
But I believe that love is the answerI believe that love will find the way
I believe that love is the answerI believe that love will find the way
I've been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year
She said she's never been so happy but Lisa lives infear
That one day daddy's gonna find out she's in love
With a black man from the streets
Oh how he would lose it then but she's still here withme
'Cause she believes that love will see it throughAnd one day he'll understand
And he'll see me as a person not just a black man
'Cause I believe that love is the answerI believe that love will find the way
I believe I believe I believe I believe that love isthe answer
I believe that love will find the wayLove will find the way
Love will find the wayLove will find the wayPlease love find the way
Please love find the way


Let Me Be The One

So you're scared to show your feelingsBaby I do understand
Well I don't make a promise I can't keepAnd I vow to be a real good friend
In those big green eyes I see a glow of love
I just hope I'm the one you're dreaming ofLet me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to careLet me be the one to light your flameOh baby Oh baby
Let me be the oneWe spend all our time togetherWe can't stand to sleep alone
When you say you have to leave for nowI miss you before you're gone
All along we thought this was absurd (absurd)
Every moment we spend goes by too fastDarling Darling take this chance with me
Cause I have eyes only for youOh babyLet me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to careLet me be the one to light your flameOh baby Oh baby
Let me be the oneLet me be the one to love youLet me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flameOh baby Oh babyLet me be the oneFor you
Don't be scared to show your feelingsCause baby I do understand
And I don't make promises that I can't keepAnd I vow to be a real good man


All Along

Seems like yesterday but years have passed us by
Precious memories are clear before my eyes
I can hear your voice calling out my name
But I don't know you now, nothing stays the sameAll along I have wanted you
I pray tonight that you want me, tooAll along there was no one else
I've been waiting here all by myself
If you were here with me we'd ride the ocean tide
To that special place I help for you deep inside
I've kept good company since you've been away
Lonely stayed with me with pride began to fadeAll along I have wanted you
I pray tonight that you want me, tooAll along there was no one else
I've been waiting here all by myselfAnd I will follow you til the end of time
Til our love is at the end of the line
You rolled out of my life just like the windAnd left behind a broken heart
All along I have wanted youI pray tonight that you want me, too
All along there was no one elseI've been waiting here all by myself


Oh Virginia

Here's my chance to say thank you to a place where
All my memories are fond and an essence of my heartWaiting there with open arms
There's Melissa full of charm
How I miss her so, she's such a sight of love down in
Oh Virginia down the higway to 64East way to Newport News
There you'll find an open door in
Oh Virginia all my friends are there to greet me
Just a smile down 64 along the open road
At the Patton Hotel I spent lots of time there
That's where we decided this is where we wanted to be
And down the road on Jefferson you'll find Steamer'sclose by
If you see Mark and Steve BreenTell 'em Jeff and I both said "hi"
But we were younger then never knowing thenThat she would take us as her own
And make us part of her lifeHighway to the sun we had so much fun
I can't wait to get there and tell 'em that I miss mysecond home
Oh Virginia down the way we'll be there in no time
Oh Virginia just a ride down 64Oh Virginia I can see those signs from here
Oh Virginia 25 miles to Hampton Roads
We got friends in Yorktown we got friends inWilliamsburg
We got friends in Newport NewsWe want all of y'all from Portsmouth sing
We got friends in Bluefield we got friends in Richmond
We got friends in Hampton RoadsAnd down by the beach let me hear everybody, yeah


Nora

I went to see my grandma todayI learned the difference between
Living and aliveWall to wall roaches in a two by four infested room
Lying there in painPraying for the Lord to take her
Nora - I hope it won't be too long for you
Nora - All these years you've been so strong
Nora - I hope you don't mind if I call you NoraI love you
After leaving her, I turned my life aroundI see new life differently
Through the vision of the oldOh, material things don't mean that muich to me
I guess I learned that I'm justGlad to be alive and healthy
Nora - All this time that you have known me
Nora - It took your whole life just to show me
Nora - How we take some things for grantedNora, Nora, Nora, I love you
And though I know there wasn't long to goTime was something that we shared
And when you died I didn't cry for longCause I believe I'll see you again
Nora - I'll see you on the other sideNora - I'll be the one with swallowed pride
Nora - Are you sure you don't mind if I call you
Nora, Nora, I love you, I love you, I love youI love ... you


Would You Be There

If I needed you so desperately
To come to me and talk to meTo take my heart and hand into your comfort zone
Where I'm not alone or lonelyWell would you take the time to be my friend
Cause in the end that's all there isThere's love the eternal bond between us
Would you be thereWhen the lights are down low and I'm feeliong insecure
With this bed so big and cold only memories to hold
It's your voice I need to hear to help me overcomethis fear
I need your hand to help my heart from sinking intothis quicksand of love
If I told you that I couldn't bear to be aloneWould you be there
And if I said I need your heart to be my homeWould you let me stay there
Would you be there for meCan't you seeI need you and you need me tonight
Close your eyesRealizeI've got so much love to give to you


Home

If you can look into his tired and weary eyes
The can tell a million stories of all he holds inside
Waiting patiently 'til the day he diesFor a better life-for a better life
For a better life-for a better lifeHe saw people die because of their beliefs
He saw a leader shot down cold by men behind the trees
But he believes he believes that one day he will see
Love and harmony-love and harmonyLove and harmony-love and harmonyHe said
Take me to a world that's filled with happy people
Take me to a land where the poor men are the rich ones
Where there are smiling faces and the lonely ain'talone
Take me to that peaceful place I call Home
Tell me how it is that someone can't believe
When the sun gives light and brown comes to the leaves
But we have got our own ideas of how the story's told
Lies and make believe-lies and make believe
Lies and make believe-lies and make believeHe said
Take me to a world that's filled with happy people
Take me to a land where the poor men are the rich ones
Where there are smiling faces and the lonely ain'talone
Take me to that peaceful place I call Home


End Of The World

You don't know where you're going and you don't knowhow to try
You don't really have a best friend but you think thatyou're in love
Now all you can remember are the words he used themostLike the "lie" in believe
The "I" in decieveThe "her" in togetherThe "we" in the weather
He said a lot of things I'm sure he meant them at thetime
But it's not the end of the worldWell you didn't see it coming cause you never
understoodThat there's a time to draw the line when things aregoing good
But you just kept on giving beyond the call of love
And he was kind to rob you blind of the pieces of yourheart
Like that part that made you giveAnd the part that made you weak
When he would softly kiss youAnd tell you that he missed you
I know it doesn't seem like what I'm going to say istrue
But it's not the end of the worldIt's not the end of the line
You know there's more to loveYou know there's more to life
And I know there's more to you
Well I can't help but think about you in the middle ofthe night
I know it's kinda lonely but you have to win thisfight
I just wish that I could hold you and tell you it'sallright
But it's not the end of the world


Heaven

Well it's all right to feel like time is running down
And make amends with those who once have let you down
To cry for children who have not yet had their chance
To pray for foes in hopes that one day we'll joinhandsAnd live in Heaven
Heaven forever Heaven foreverHeaven forever Heaven forever
Love's waiting past the starsTranquility is not that far
Believe in Him he believes in youAnd I'll see you in Heaven
I seen a messenger who was preaching on the street
He had nothing but the blisters on his feet
And all those big shots with their Mercedes' andyachts
There'll be a time fir the to let go what they got
And I'll see them in Heaven (...maybe)Heaven forever Heaven forever
Heaven forever Heaven foreverDo you feel it? Do you see?
There's no admission, Heaven's freeThis is ther world which we decided
Without the love we're all dividedLove's waiting in the sky
Tears for Him will puriufyThe answer is in His eyesAnd He'll see you in Heaven
Do you live for HeavenWould you die for HeavenThen I'll see you in Heaven


Forever For Tonight

Forever For TonightCould I be with you alone
I'm not sure where this will goCause we don't have the time we need
Just enough to make us bleedCause I'll be leaving soon
It's hard to say when I'll returnAnd I don't want to lead you on
So if you feel the needClose your eyes and share the dreamIt will be eternity
Chorus:Forever for tonightI will be there to hold you through the night
Forever for tonightI will love you forever for tonightForever for tonight
As I look into your eyesFeelings must to strong for us not to try
And if by chance we lose this fightDarling we still have tonight
So when I'm far awayI will always be with youYou will never be alone
So if you feel the needTake my hand and share this nightIt will be eternity
ChorusSee I've been broken down by empty promisesLike a sky without a star
And I've been having doubts that I could feel again
But I believe that I'm in loveChorus


Lucky To Be Here

All my life has been a show that never ends
Made a lot of music and I've made a lot of friends
I've got two children but I've never had a wife
Don't mean to bore you with the story of my life
I've been criticized for all the things I've done
But I must admit that I did it all in fun
The Lord has blessed me with a song a day to sing
It's been a long hard road but I wouldn't change athingAnd oh
I'm just lucky to be hereI can't believe I got this far
And if I stopped along the way to fight a tearI'm sorry
But I thought I saw my dreamThere's been so much that I've learned along the way
I learned that love is color blind and how to pray
And that emotions were controlled from deep inside
But what I learned the most was how to swallow pride
Oh, I'm just lucky to be hereI can't believe I got this far
And if I stopped along the way to fight a tearI'm sorry
But I thought I saw my dreamOh, I'm just lucky to be here
I'd gladly stay a thousand yearsBreathe your love into this union of souls
And I'll just write the words
