Gil Scott-Heron - A Prayer for...



This is a prayer for everybody
In the world
'Cause I need you and you need me
We need each other

This is a prayer for everybody
In the world
A prayer for you
A prayer for me
A prayer for love and harmony
A prayer for light for all to see
A prayer that someday we'll all be free

'Cause...
There's a lot that's wrong
We must be strong
And not become bitter
If there's a chance
That mankind will profit
Why should we scoff at something new
Or old - if it can make us better?

This is a prayer for everybody
In the world
'Cause without you
And without me
Without love and harmony
Without courage and dignity
What would it mean
To be free?

Sam & Ruby "This I KNow"




Verse 1
Who can say why we, get caught in the thrill of testing ourselves.
We’ve been saying some thing’s, that could be crippling & now we need God to heal.

Bridge
I know what’s right & what’s wrong, I won’t let this foolishness make you say you’re gone

Chorus
It’s your love that makes me feel high (This I know, this I know) Nobody can say otherwise
It’s your smile that helps me get by (This I know, this I know) Every time I wanna cry

Verse 2
Never seen things more plain, cuz there’s a lot we can learn, from taking a breath
So let’s not get in the way, where the truth is concerned, we need a place to rest

Bridge
So look to me like I do you, I would not say all these things if they were not true

Chorus
It’s your love that makes me feel high (This I know, this I know) Nobody can say otherwise
It’s your smile that helps me get by (This I know, this I know) Every time I wanna cry

Freestyle

Bridge
The heart knows where it belongs, & mines only home when it is safe inside your arms

Chorus 2x
It’s your love that makes me feel high (This I know, this I know) Nobody can say otherwise
It’s your smile that helps me get by (This I know, this I know) Every time I wanna cry
