Such a lovely world was made for you and me Wondrous life for us to taste, touch, smell, hear, and see But one glance from outside looking at our world state Clearly displays we don't appreciate it at all Rain your love down won't you rain down your love Let it drench us like the sun from above Such ability inside you and me Made to do anything and be all we can be But one bird's eye view at us does show, oh it shows That against God's Plan we've let it go, oh no Rain your love down won't you rain down your love Let it drench us like the sun from above Rain your love down let it rain down today So that it may wash all our sins away You'd think the signs would make a difference, oh, make a difference You'd think fire next time instead of rain Would cause us to make a change The world has gone insane Rain, rain your love down won't you rain down your love Let it drench us like the sun from above Rain your love down let it rain down today So that it may wash all our sins away, let it rain Rain your love down let it pour on us, please Cleansing us from hunger, hate, war, and greed Rain your love down, won't you let it start over again So we can live up to your Master Plan Rain your love down oh won't you let it start Wash the wicked minds and the... I know they're sick, you know they're sick, we know they're sick at heart, yeah Rain your love down won't you let it rain Rid this world of drugs, disease, crime, and pain Clear our spirits give our minds new software With your lesson on honor, respect, trust, and care Rain your love down I beg for human sake For only you can get us out of this state Rain your love down rain down on all mankind Cause we are out of order and so out of line.

Are you telling me you feel Like you have never felt Ut Oh, my heart Don't you know those famous words Be seen but not heard Taboo to love Are you telling me your eyes Met hers to your surprise But why, my heart? How loud must you hear me say Have fun but don't play Taboo to love Where's your lantern or candlelight So to guide you through hidden spaces Though its said truth unveils all lies Feelings can't be left to roam So you say you've lost your head But you use your heart instead Beware of love This is not like you at all Who vowed to never fall Taboo to love, taboo to love (Taboo) To love, taboo to love (Taboo) Where's your raincoat and over-boots To protect you in stormy weather Though its said when you walk in truth Love can bring you no harm So you've made up in your mind You'll leave your fears behind So brave my heart I guess your heart has made you see Its better to be free No taboo to love I guess your heart has made you see Its much better to be free No Taboo to love No taboo to love (Taboo) To love, no taboo to love (Taboo) To love, no taboo to love (Taboo) To love, no taboo to love (Taboo) No taboo to love
Lying out on the street, there's a man That needs somewhere to sleep And a bag-lady digs, through the trash Hoping to find some food to eat In the cold winter's snow, walks a boy That needs shoes for his feet In an old run-down house, there's a child In a crib that needs some heat In the dark of the night, a young man Searches for a guiding light And a young woman cries in despair Cause she feels alone in life You might ask yourself what in the hell Does that have to do with me Well, here is your wake up call... "Everything!" Cause we all play a part in each other's existence Take the time out to love someone Reach your arms out and hug someone Be it king or some homeless one We are all one underneath the sun Take the time out to be right there Take the time out to show you care You'll be so glad when the day is done You took the time out to love someone There's a man in a house where they're selling crack Yet he's trying to be strong But when lost in the sea, of no hope He must be saved from wrong Don't say what you won't do, if for days You had no food to eat Nor extremes you won't go, for a bed, shoes Or if your baby needed heat You do not have the right to pre-judge If you don't share your strength And you can't say you're down for the fight If you won't go the length Now I don't really care what you feel If you don't feel for life And don't care what you think if your words Don't have ways and actions that perpetuate life Take the time out to love someone Reach your arms out and hug someone Be it king or some homeless one We are all one underneath the sun Take the time out to be right there Take the time out to show you care You'll be so glad when the day is done You took the time out to love someone Take the time out to be right there Take the time out to show you care You'll be so glad when the day is done You took the time out to love someone I think it's time to… Take the time out to love someone Reach your arms out and hug someone Be it king or some homeless one We are all one underneath the sun Take the time out to be right there Take the time out to show you care You'll be so glad when the day is done You took the time out to love someone Take the time out to be right there Take the time out to show you care You'll be so glad when the day is done You took the time out to love someone
Try to envision you as the oldest living someone Being every night and day all alone Going through ages and ages, places and spaces With never finding that someone to call your own Like a treasure chest of dreams long forgotten Hidden for good in a stolen lost and found But just when fate was calling quits Love appeared in the midst of despair, came and turned your life around I'm new, new like the first day of spring New like a nightingale that's just learned to sing I'm new, new like the very start of dawn Like a child that's first born with your love, I'm new You're standing amongst a crowd of six billion people Crying out for help, but no one understands Cause much to your dismay, you've been taken far away To a land where joy is pain and sorrow's a happy man Where an aching heart's the sign of the mighty And a love-filled heart looks down upon with fault and shame But at the very instant all was through, lady lucks appears, says "love can do" And changed you like a Christian who's been born again I'm new, new like the fresh morning dew New like a work of art that's finally through I'm new, new like a first flight of a dove So safe and secure with your love, I'm new Love took a long time coming to me But I've gotta say I owe my thanks to him for sending you my way, hey Cause I'm new, new like the first winter snow Like the start of forever, with infinity to go I'm new, new like the birth of the sun Forever young I will be Cause with your love, I'm new New like from a restful night of sleep New like a starving man that's had food to eat I'm new, nothing compares nor can compete Sharing with you the sweetness of your love, I'm new
I was just walking down the street Looking forward to seeing the friends I was to meet Yet what happened so tragically Really makes for no sense at all Suddenly two guys confronted me Saying I was on the wrong turf, angrily They said their colors were black but I was wearing gray I started to turn to go back They up and blew me away My love is with you, where ever you are My love is with you, where ever you are My love is with you, where ever you are Though my life they've taken They can't take what we've shared Spread the love I've given And I'll be there I was out playing with my friends You know, doing those silly things kids do at ten But the crossfire I was caught in Should not have been in the first place A dropped Monte Carlo came to a screech Someone yelled "nobody gets away with dissen me" Across the street a man pulled his nine Everybody started to run A shower of bullets rang out Mistakenly my life was done, oh My love is with you, where ever you are My love is with you, where ever you are My love is with you, where ever you are Though my life they've taken They can't take what we've shared Spread the love I've given I'll be there My love is with you, where ever you are My love is with you, where ever you are My love is with you, where ever you are When you're joyful When you're lonely When you're happy When tears are streamin right down your face In the morning In the noon time In the evening In the wee wee hours of the nighttime hour In the summer In the springtime In the autumn In the cold long winter, winter nights My love is with you My love is with you my best friend My love is with you my brother My love is with you my sister My love is with you my mother My love is with you my father I'm with you — I'm with you… Ban the hand gun - chant

I've seen you, I saw you, I see you without little notice, if any at all Of you knowing me watchin you You walking, you talking, you smiling You styling in everything your body wears And that's not just a point of view They're painting, they're ranting, they're raving About Miss Lovely got it going on From head down to her toes And no one knows better than I know Cause I've been listening to the spirit of Your body, mind and soul It's a sensuous whisper That makes my body weak It's that sensuous whisper That's sweeter than the sweetest sweet It's that sensuous whisper That makes my psyche say Ooh we, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we Can feel you, can smell you, can taste you Though my senses never had the pleasure of That lovely wonderment But I start to shaking, I shiver, to think that little sparkle in your eye Means you are giving me some kind of hint I'm ready, I'm willing, I'm able In fact those words are at the tip of my tongue Eagerly waiting for me to say Then you smile and whisper "how are you?" But when I move my lips and try to speak the words just go away It's a sensuous whisper That makes my body weak It's that sensuous whisper That's sweeter than the sweetest sweet It's that sensuous whisper That makes my psyche say Ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we It's that sensuous whisper that's got me trippin out It's that sensuous whisper That I don't wanna do without It's that sensuous whisper That makes me want to shout Ooh we, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we I don't even care how long it takes As long as I have you lying next to me Cause to wait forever and a day Is a small price to pay if it's you I'm getting If it's you I'm getting, I'm not quitting And that is how I'm living I'm clinging, not dreaming, but scheming With my nose against the grind and both my eyes focused upon the prize I think it, I trust it, I know it Your love that I've longed for is gonna be mine Good things do come in time I'm right on the rythm you're givin But this is more than giving up some casual mental telepathy The music, the candles, the champagne and all that's needed Is one thing to give it authenticity It's a sensuous whisper That makes my body weak It's that sensuous whisper That's sweeter than the sweetest sweet It's that sensuous whisper That makes my psyche say Ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we It's that sensuous whisper That's got me trippin out It's that sensuous whisper That I don't wanna do without It's that sensuous whisper That makes me want to shout Ooh we, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we It's a sensuous whisper That makes my body rock It's that sensuous whisper That makes me beg baby don't ever stop It's that sensuous whisper That always get me hot, baby Ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we It's that sensuous whisper That makes me feel alright It's that sensuous whisper That keep me wanting you morning, noon and every single night It's that sensuous whisper Don't want you out of my sight, baby Ooh we, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we It's that sensuous whisper It's that sensuous whisper…
All the gold in all the world Is nothing to possess If all the things that it can bring Can't add up to one ounce of your happiness And for your love I would do anything Just to see the smile upon your face For your love I would go anywhere Just you tell me and I'll be right there A diamond that shines Like a star in the sky Is nothing to behold For miniscule is any light If it can't like you brighten up my soul And for your love I would do anything Just to see the smile upon your face For your love I would go anywhere Just you tell me and I'll be right there I could have never fathomed this Such joy, love and tenderness That you give to me For the love I feel inside It's so wonderful I can't hide And I glow, I glow With just the thought of you I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do And for your love I would do anything Just to see the smile upon your face For your love I would go anywhere Just you tell me and I'll be right there And for your love I would do anything Just to see the smile upon your face For your love I would go anywhere Just you tell me and I'll be right there And for your love I would do anything Just to see the smile upon your face For your love I would go anywhere Just you tell me and I'll be right there And for your love I would do anything Just to see the smile upon your face For your love I would go anywhere Just you tell me and I'll be right there
Feelin young and full of fun Hangin out with my crew Hot to trot and about to pop Tryin to find some girl to get into There she was fine as can be Hair braided down to her knees She took me home, she turned me out But before sunrise she said I must leave It was a cold chill on a summer night Never thought the girlie wouldn't treat me right It was a cold chill on a summer day Never thought the girl would dog me out that way It was a cold chill on a summer morn Never cried like a baby since the day I was born It was a cold chill on a summer eve Never had no chopper bring me to my knees I was feeling so trusting Gave it all right down to the bone But she did me wrong On a summer night Far from meek, and feelin chic Refusing to concede defeat There I was same crew, same time Same club we kicked it at the previous week I asked her how could she have the nerve To treat me with such disgrace She blinked her eyes, smiled, apologized Threw her drink right in my face It was a cold chill on a summer night Never thought the girlie wouldn't treat me right It was a cold chill on a summer day Never thought the girl would dog me out that way It was a cold chill on a summer morn Never cried like a baby since the day I was born It was a cold chill on a summer eve Never had no chopper bring me to my knees I was feeling so trusting Gave it all right down to the bone But she did me wrong On a summer night, on a summer night On a summer night, on a summer night A cold chill, a cold chill, a cold chill, cold chill Weekends came and weekends passed But not the yearning in my heart And there she was to light the spark Like she did right from the very start I took no time, drove to her house Got deep into a passion high I heard a knock, the turn of a key And the voice of another guy It was a cold chill on a summer night Never thought the girlie wouldn't treat me right It was a cold chill on a summer day Never thought the girl would dog me out that way It was a cold chill on a summer morn Never cried like a baby since the day I was born It was a cold chill on a summer eve Never had no chopper bring me to my knees I was feeling so trusting Gave it all right down to the bone But she did me wrong On a summer night, on a summer night On a summer night, on a summer night It was a cold chill Like standing in the deep freeze A cold chill Like when snow's above your knees Cold chill Like sitting at the north pole A cold chill Wearing not one stitch of clothes Cold chill Like a winter Chicago night A cold chill Twenty ice cubes down your back for spite Cold chill Stranded in sub-zero degrees A cold chill Layed out on the arctic sea Cold chill When your fingers get frost bite A cold chill Buried beneath ten feet of ice Cold chill Baby, that ain't so nice A cold chill
Into each life there comes a time When you must pay your lovers' dues Breakin' out in a cold sweat Cause you've been rightfully accused I'm not such a strong man That love can't make me weak You're walkin' out the door And it's hurting me so deep, so deep And I'm sorry Sorry that I made you cry Sorry, sorry that I told you lies I'm sorry, sorry the way we fuss and fight I'm sorry, sorry cause now you're saying goodbye to me Every young boy will grow up To then become a man Then the difference from wrong and right He clearly understands I'm not such a big man That I can't break down in tears Cause my whole body went into shock When you told me you were out of here! Out of here! And I'm sorry Sorry that I made you cry Sorry, sorry that I told you lies I'm sorry, sorry the way we fuss and fight I'm sorry, sorry cause now you're saying goodbye to me, to me I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you I'm sorry baby, that I ever made you cry I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you I'm sorry baby, that I ever told you lies I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you I'm sorry baby, sorry the way we fuss and fight I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you I'm sorry baby, so sorry If you added up all the good times And compared them with the bad You'd realize that our love Was the best you ever had I'm not such a proud man That I won't cop a plea See me baby girl, I'm on my knees Beggin please, baby please, baby please, oh yeah I'm sorry, sorry that I made you cry Sorry, sorry that I told you lies I'm sorry, I'm sorry the way we fuss and fight I'm sorry, sorry cause now you're saying goodbye to me, me baby, me baby, me baby I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you I'm sorry baby, that I ever told you lies I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you I'm sorry baby, that I ever made you cry I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you I'm sorry baby, sorry the way we fuss and fight I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry…
Staring right at 2000 AD As if mankind's atrocities to man has no history But just a glance at life in 2000 BC We find traces of man's inhumanity to man There's no mystery All for one, one for all There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights Unless we heed the call Me for you, you for me There's no chance of world salvation Less the conversation's peace We can't pause, watch and say "no" this can't be When there's a plan by any means to have Cleansing of one's ethnicity And we shouldn't act as if we don't hear nor see Like the holocaust of six million Jews and A hundred and fifty million blacks during slavery All for one, one for all There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights Unless we heed the call Me for you, you for me There's no chance of world salvation Less the conversation's peace When publicly or privately convened May love, positivity and life's preservation be the basic theme And should you put your trust in some prophet in life Give him trust but your faith must stay with the one Who gave the ultimate sacrifice for... All for one, one for all There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights Unless we heed the call Me for you, you for me There's no chance of world salvation Less the conversation's peace Less the conversation's peace…
