Blessid Union Of Souls Album

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 just see
That all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today
Money is our incentive now so that makes it okay

But I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe that love is the answer
I 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 in fear
That one day daddy's gonna find out she's in love
With a nigger from the streets
Oh how he would lose it then but she's still here with me
'Cause she believes that love will see it through
And 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 answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe I believe I believe I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Please love find the way

So you're scared to show your feelings
Baby I do understand
Well I don't make a promise I can't keep
And 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 of

Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flame
Oh baby Oh baby
Let me be the one

We spend all our time together
We can't stand to sleep alone
When you say you have to leave for now
I miss you before you're gone

All along we thought this was absurd (absurd)
Every moment we spend goes by too fast
Darling Darling take this chance with me
Cause I have eyes only for you
Oh baby

Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flame
Oh baby Oh baby
Let me be the one
Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flame
Oh baby Oh baby
Let me be the one
For you

Don't be scared to show your feelings
Cause baby I do understand
And I don't make promises that I can't keep

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 same

All along I have wanted you
I pray tonight that you want me, too
All 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 fade

All along I have wanted you
I pray tonight that you want me, too
All along there was no one else
I've been waiting here all by myself

And 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 wind
And left behind a broken heart

All along I have wanted you
I pray tonight that you want me, too
All along there was no one else
I've been waiting here all by myself

Here's my chance to say thank you to a place where
All my memories are fond and an essence of my heart
Waiting 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 64
East 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's close by
If you see Mark and Steve Breen
Tell 'em Jeff and I both said "hi"

But we were younger then never knowing then
That she would take us as her own
And make us part of her life
Highway to the sun we had so much fun
I can't wait to get there and tell 'em that I miss my second home

Oh Virginia down the way we'll be there in no time
Oh Virginia just a ride down 64
Oh Virginia I can see those signs from here
Oh Virginia 25 miles to Hampton Roads

We got friends in Yorktown we got friends in Williamsburg
We got friends in Newport News
We want all of y'all from Portsmouth sing
We got friends in Bluefield we got friends in Richmond
We got friends in Hampton Roads
And down by the beach let me hear everybody, yeah

I went to see my grandma today
I learned the difference between
Living and alive
Wall to wall roaches in a two by four infested room
Lying there in pain
Praying 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 Nora
I love you

After leaving her, I turned my life around
I see new life differently
Through the vision of the old
Oh, material things don't mean that muich to me
I guess I learned that I'm just
Glad 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 granted
Nora, Nora, Nora, I love you

And though I know there wasn't long to go
Time was something that we shared
And when you died I didn't cry for long
Cause I believe I'll see you again

Nora - I'll see you on the other side
Nora - 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 you
I love ... you

If I needed you so desperately
To come to me and talk to me
To take my heart and hand into your comfort zone
Where I'm not alone or lonely
Well would you take the time to be my friend
Cause in the end that's all there is
There's love the eternal bond between us
Would you be there

When 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 overcome this fear
I need your hand to help my heart from sinking into this quicksand of love

If I told you that I couldn't bear to be alone
Would you be there
And if I said I need your heart to be my home
Would you let me stay there

Would you be there for me
Can't you see
I need you and you need me tonight
Close your eyes
Realize
I've got so much love to give to you

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 dies
For a better life-for a better life
For a better life-for a better life
He 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 harmony
Love and harmony-love and harmony

He 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't alone
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 believe

He 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't alone
Take me to that peaceful place I call Home

You spend half the time dreaming and the other half's a lie
You don't know where you're going and you don't know how to try
You don't really have a best friend but you think that you're in love
Now all you can remember are the words he used the most
Like the "lie" in believe
The "I" in decieve
The "her" in together
The "we" in the weather
He said a lot of things I'm sure he meant them at the time
But it's not the end of the world

Well you didn't see it coming cause you never understood
That there's a time to draw the line when things are going good
But you just kept on giving beyond the call of love
And he was kind to rob you blind of the pieces of your heart
Like that part that made you give
And the part that made you weak
When he would softly kiss you
And tell you that he missed you
I know it doesn't seem like what I'm going to say is true
But it's not the end of the world
It's not the end of the line
You know there's more to love
You 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 of the night
I know it's kinda lonely but you have to win this fight
I just wish that I could hold you and tell you it's allright
But it's not the end of the world

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 join hands
And live in Heaven

Heaven forever Heaven forever
Heaven forever Heaven forever

Love's waiting past the stars
Tranquility is not that far
Believe in Him he believes in you
And 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' and yachts
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 forever

Do you feel it? Do you see?
There's no admission, Heaven's free
This is ther world which we decided
Without the love we're all divided

Love's waiting in the sky
Tears for Him will puriufy
The answer is in His eyes
And He'll see you in Heaven
Do you live for Heaven
Would you die for Heaven
Then I'll see you in Heaven

Could I be with you alone
I'm not sure where this will go
Cause we don't have the time we need
Just enough to make us bleed

Cause I'll be leaving soon
It's hard to say when I'll return
And I don't want to lead you on
So if you feel the need
Close your eyes abd share this dream
It will be eternity

Forever for tonight
I will be there to hold you through the night
Forever for tonight
I will love you forever for tonight
Forever for tonight

Al I look into your eyes
Feelings much too strong for us not to try
And if by chance we lose this fight
Darling we still have tonight

So when I'm far away
I will always be with you
You will never be alone
So if you feel the need
Take my hand and share this night
It will be eternity

See I've been broken down by empty promises
Like a sky without a star
And I've been having doubts that I could feel again
But I believe that I'm in love

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 a thing

And oh
I'm just lucky to be here
I can't believe I got this far
And if I stopped along the way to fight a tear
I'm sorry
But I thought I saw my dream

There'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 here
I can't believe I got this far
And if I stopped along the way to fight a tear
I'm sorry
But I thought I saw my dream
Oh, I'm just lucky to be here
I'd gladly stay a thousand years
Breathe your love into this union of souls
And I'll just write the words
