If you search
for tenderness
It isn't hard
to find
You can have the love
you need to live
But if you look
for truthfulness
You might just as well
be blind
It always seems to be
so hard to give
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can always
find someone
To say they
sympathize
If I wear my heart out
on my sleeve
But I don't want
some pretty face
To tell me
pretty lies
All I want is
someone to believe
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again
I know (I know)
I know wo wo
When I'm deep
inside of me
Don't be too
concerned
I won't ask
for nothing
While
I'm gone
But when I want
sincerity
Tell me
where else can I turn
'Cause you're the one
that I depend upon
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you

Oh my love
my darling
I've hungered for
your touch along
Lonely time
And Time goes by
So slowly
and time can do
So much Are you
still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love
to me
Lonely rivers flow
to the sea to the sea
To the open arms
to the sea yeah
Lonely rivers sigh
wait for me
Wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
Oh my love my darling
I've hungered hungered
for your touch
A long
lonely time
And Time goes
by so slowly
And time can do
so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I I need
your love
God speed your
love to me

Sometimes it's hard
to be a woman
Giving all your love
to just one man
You'll have bad times
and he'll have
good times
Doin' things that
you don't understand
But if you love
him you'll
forgive him
Even though he's hard
to understand
and if you love him
Oh be proud of him
Cause after
all he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him
two arms to cling to
And something
warm to come to
when nights
are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world
you love him
Keep giving
all the love you can
Stand by your man -
Stand by your man
And tell the world
you love him
Keep giving
all the love you can
Stand by
your man -

I used to rule
the world
Seas would rise
when I gave the word
Now in the morning I
sleep alone
Sweep the streets
I used to own
I used to
roll the dice
Feel the fear in my
enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd
would sing
Now the old
king is dead
Long live
the king
One minute I
held the key
Next the walls
were closed on me
And I discovered that
my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt
and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
my shield
My missionaries
in a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
Once you go
there was never
Never an
honest word
That was when I
ruled the world

It was the wicked
and wild win
Blew down the doors
to let me in
Shattered windows
and the sound of drums
People couldn't
believe what
I'd become
revolutionaries wait
For my head on
a silver plate
Just a puppet on
a lonely string
Ah who would ever
want to be king
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter
won't call my name
Never an
honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world

(Ooooh ooooh
ooooh ooooh ooooh)
I hear Jerusalem
bells a ringing
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Be my mirror my sword
and shield
My missionaries in
a foreign field
For some reason
I can't explain
I know Saint Peter
won't call my name
Never an
honest word
But that was when I
ruled the world

Look
if you had
One shot
one opportunity
To seize everything
you ever wanted
One moment
would you capture it
Or just let it slip yo
his palms are sweaty
Knees weak arms
are heavy
There's vomit
on his sweater
Alredy mom's spaghetti
he's nervous
But on the surface
he looks calm
And ready
to drop bombs
But he keeps on
forgettin
What he wrote down
the whole crowd
Goes so loud yo
he open his mouth
But the words
won't come out
He's chokin how
everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out
time's up over bloah
Snap back to reality
oh there goes gravity
Oh there goes rabbit
he choked
He's so mad
but he won't
Give up that is he
no he won't have it
He knows his whole
back city's ropes
I don't matter
he's dope
He knows that
but he's broke
He's so stacked
that he knows
When he goes back
to his mobile home
That's when it's back
to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
he better go capture
This moment and
hope it don't pass him
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own
it you better
Never let it go ho
you only get one shot
Do not miss
your chance to blow
This opportunity
comes once
In a lifetime
you better
The soul's escaping
through this hole
That it's gaping
this world is mine
For the taking
make me king
As we move toward
a new world order
A normal life is borin
but superstardom's
Close to post mortar
it only grows harder
Only grows hotter
he blows us all over
These hoes is
all on him
Coast to coast shows
he's know
As the globetrotter
lonely roads
God only knows
he's know father
From home
he's no father
He goes home
and barely knows
His own daughter
but hold your nose
Cuz here
goes the cold water
His hoes don't want
him no mo
He's cold product
they moved on
To the next schmoe
who flows
He nose dove and
sold nada
So the soap opera is
told and unfolds
I suppose
it's old potna
But the beat goes on
da da dum de dom
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity comes
Once in a lifetime
you better
No more games
I'm a change
What you call rage
tear this mothafuckin
Roof off like
2 doas cased
I was playing
in the beginning
The mood all changed
I been chewed up
And spit out
and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin
and stepwritin
The next cypher
best believe
Somebody's payin
the pied piper
All the pain inside
amplified by the fact
That I can't get by
with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide
the right type of
Life for my family
cuz man
These goddam
food stamps
Don't buy diapers
and it's no movie
There's
no Mekhi phifer
This is my life
and these times
Are so hard
and it's getting
Even harder
trying to feed
And water my seed
plus see dishonor
Caught up between
bein a father
And a prima donna
baby mama drama's
Screamin on and
too much for me
To wanna stay
in one spot
Another jam or not
has gotten me
To the point
I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate
a plot fore
I end up in jail
or shot success is
My only mothafuckin
option failure's not
Mam I love you
but this trail has
Got to go
I cannot grow old
In salem's lot so
here I go is my shot
Feet fail me not
cuz maybe
The only opportunity
that I got
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot

Your chance to blow

Perhaps love is like
a resting place
A shelter
from the storm
It exists to give you
comfort it is
There to keep you Warm
And in those times
of trouble when
you are most alone
The memory of love will
bring you home
Perhaps love
is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you
to come closer
It Wants
to show you more
And even if you
lose yourself
and don't know
what to do
The memory of love will
see you thru
Oh love to some is
like a cloud
To some
as strong as steel
For some a way
of living For
some a way to feel
And some say love
is holding on
And some say
letting go
And some say love
is ev'rything
some say they
don't know
perhaps love
is like the ocean
Full of conflict
full of pain
Like a fire
When it's cold outside
Thunder when
it rains If I should
live forever
And all my dreams
come true
My memories
of love will
be of you.

And some say love is
holding on
And some say
letting go
And some say love
is ev'rything
some say they
don't know
Perhaps love
is like the ocean
Full of conflict
full of pain
Like a fire
When it's cold outside
Thunder when
it rains If I should
live forever
And all my dreams
come true
My memories
of love will be of you.

I am sailing
I am sailing

'cross the sea
I am sailing
stormy waters
To be near you

like a bird
'cross the sky
I am flying
passing high clouds
To be with you
to be free
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Through the dark night
far away
I am dying
forever trying
To be with you
Who can say
Can you hear me

Through the dark night
far away

Forever trying
To be with you
who can say-

We are sailing

with you inside my mind
And in my dreams
I've kissed your lips
a thousand times
I sometimes
see you pass
outside my door

what to say
and you know just
what to do
And I want to tell you
so much I love you

sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and
time again
how much I care
Sometimes I feel my
heart will overflow

let you know
Cause I wonder
where you are
and I wonder
what you do
Are you somewhere
feeling lonely
or is someone
loving you
Tell me how to
win your heart for

But let me start by
saying I love you

But life goes on
and this old world

Let's just be glad
we had sometime
to spend together
There's no
need to watch
the bridges
that were burning
Lay your head
upon my pillow
Hold your warm
and tender body
close to mine
Hear the whisper
of the raindrops
blowing
soft against
the window
And make believe
you love me
one more time
For the good times
I'll get along

And I'll be here

and tender body

Hear the whisper
of the raindrops
blowing
soft against the window
And make believe

For the good times.

Before the dawn
I hear you whisper
in Your sleep don't let
the morning take him
outside the birds
begin to call
as if to summon
up my leaving
It's been a long time
since I found someone
since I found someone
who would stay
I waited too long
now you leaving
oh please don't take
it all the way-

your life forever
And you're never gonna

And you're wish

just a life time
To give back all

And the nights of

that time can't
take away
And I owe you

The old home town
looks the same
As I step down
from the train
And there to meet me
is my Mama and Papa
And down the road
I look and
There runs mary
Hair of gold and
Lips like cherries
It's good to touch
The green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to meet me
Arms a reaching
smiling sweetly
It's good to touch
the green green
grass of home
The old house
is still standing
Though the paint
is cracked and dry
and there's that
Old oak tree that
I used to play on
Down the lane I walk
with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and
lips like cherries
It's good to touch the
green green
grass of home
Then I awake
And look around me
at four grey walls
That surround me
and I realize
Yes that I was only
dreamming
For there's a guard
and there's a sad
Old padre Arm in arm
we'll walk
At daybreak again
I'll touch the
Green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to see me
In the shade of
that old oak tree
As they lay me
beneath the
Green green
grass of home-

Ocean apart
day after day
And I slowly
go insane
I hear your voice
on the line
But it doesn't
stop the pain
If I see you next
to never
How can we say
forever
wherever you go
whatever you do
I will be right
here waiting for you
whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here
waiting for you
I took for granted
all the times
that I though would
last somehow
I hear the laughter
I taste the tears
But I can't get near
you now
Oh can't you see
it baby
You've got me going
crazy
Wherever you go
whatever you do
I will be right here
waiting for you
whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here
waiting for you
I wonder how
we can survive
This romance
But in the end
if I'll with you
I'll take the chance-

Oh can't you see
it baby
You've got me going
crazy
Wherever you go
whatever you do
I will be right here
waiting for you
whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here
waiting for you
waiting
for you-
