Don't Take This Attitude To Your Grave

You say what's mine is mine And what's yours is mine too Now you've got more than you can spend But all of the money In the whole wide world Is not gonna help you in the end Now while there's still time to be saved Don't take that attitude to your grave Might be too late for you I'm afraid Don't take that attitude to your grave Don't you take it there I hear helicopters Over my house every day Shining their lights and flying low Treat a child like a criminal From the day that he is born And you're gonna reap just what you sow Now while there's still time to be saved Don't take that attitude to your grave Might be too late for you I'm afraid Don't take that attitude to your grave Don't you take it there So you can move your court case Way across town You can move it across the whole wide globe But it ain't gonna help your court case Up in the sky When you go to put on your white robe Now while there's still time to be saved Don't take that attitude to your grave Might be too late for you I'm afraid Don't take that attitude to your grave Don't you take it there And you dare the children To stay off of drug Snow I dare you to stop letting them in And how dare you point your finger At a gang out on the street While it's you who is committing the sin Now while there's still time to be saved Don't take that attitude to your grave Might be too late for you I'm afraid Don't take that attitude to your grave Don't you take it there They don't want it there You know your mother taught you better Don't take that attitude to your grave

Waiting On An Angel

Waiting on an angel One to carry me home Hope you come to see me soon Cause I don't want to go alone I don't want to go alone Now angel won't you come by me Angel hear my plea Take my hand lift me up So that I can fly with thee So that I can fly with thee And I'm waiting on an angel And I know it won't be long To find my Self a resting place In my angel's arms In my angel's arms So speak kind to a stranger Cause you'll never know It just might be an angel come Knockin' at your door Knockin' at your door And I'm waiting on an angel And I know it won't be long To find myself a resting place In my angel's arms In my angel's arms Waiting on an angel One to carry me home Hope you come to see me soon Cause I don't want to go alone I don't want to go alone Don't want to go I don't want to go alone

Pleasure And Pain

I'm leaving here on the morning train And I will never see this world again I've felt pleasure And I have felt pain And I know now That I can never be the same How I wonder why the world can be so cold And if only good die young Then left with me cruel here to grow old And I felt pleasure And I felt pain And I know now I can never be the same And if someday I find my peace of mind I will share my wealth with all of human kind I've felt pleasure And I have felt pain And I know now That I can never be the same So if the sun does shine or rain does fall I give thanks I've had my sight to see through it all And I've felt pleasure And I have felt painand I know now That I can never be the same

Walk Away

Oh no Here comes that sun again That means another day Without you my friend And it hurts me To look into the mirror at myself And it hurts even more To have to be with somebody else And it's so hard to do And so easy to say But sometimes Sometimes you just have to walk away Walk away With so many people To love in my life Why do I worry About one But you put the happy In my ness You put the good times Into my fun And it's so hard to do And so easy to say But sometimes Sometimes you just have to walk away Walk away And head for the door We've tried the goodbye So many days We walk in the same direction So that we could never stray They say if you love somebody Than you have got to set them free But I would rather be locked to you Than live in this pain and misery They say time will Make all this go away But it's time that has taken my tomorrows And turned them into yesterdays And once again you my friend Are nowhere to be found And it's so hard to do And so easy to stay But sometimes Sometimes you just have to walk away Walk away And head for the door You just walk awaywalk away

How Many Miles Must We March

Exactly how much will have to burn Before we will look to the past to learn We walk along this endless path Which has led us in a circle So here we are right back We can't let the future become our past If we are to change the world Won't you tell me Tell me please How many miles must we march How many miles must we march When I was a baby I was not prejudiced Hey how about you This was something That I learned in school Something they taught us to do We can't let the future become our past If we are to change the world Won't you tell me Tell me please How many miles must we march How many miles must we march There must come a day When a box is not somebody's home The unfinished work of our heroes Must truly be our own We can't let the future become our past If we are to change the world Won't you tell me Tell me please How many miles must we march How many miles must we march How many miles must we march How many miles must we march How many miles must we march How many miles must we march

Welcome to the cruel world Hope you find your way Welcome to the cruel world Hope you find your way It's a cruel world Try to enjoy your stay Yes it is a cruel world When you're tryin' to get by It's a cruel world When you've seen the look in their eye Makes life hard living But I'm so scared to die Welcome to the cruel world Welcome Welcome Don't know how We've lasted here so long There must be more good than bad Or we'd already be gone And if you get up to Heaven Before I do I'm gonna tell ya It's gonna be cruel there too You can't hide from this cruel world Cause there is no place to run You can't hide from the cruel world There just is no place to run It's been cruel from the beginning It will be cruel when we're done So when I'm gone I will gladly say goodbye When I am gone I will gladly say goodbye And if you want to feel me Put your hands up to the sky Welcome to the cruel world Welcome Welcome Hope you find your way Try to enjoy your stay

I'll Rise

You may write me down in history With your bitter twisted lies You may trod me down in the very dirt And still like the dust I'll rise Does my happiness upset you Why are you best with gloom Cause I laugh like I've got an oil well Pumpin' in my living room So you may shoot me with your words You may cut me with your eyes And I'll rise I'll rise I'll rise Out of the shacks of history's shame Up from a past rooted in pain I'll rise I'll rise I'll rise Now did you want to see me broken Bowed head and lowered eyes Shoulders fallen down like tear drops Weakened by my soulful cries Does my confidence upset you Don't you take it awful hard Cause I walk like I've got a diamond mine Breakin' up in my front yard So you may shoot me with your words You may cut me with your eyes And I'll rise I'll rise I'll rise Out of the shacks of history's shame Up from a past rooted in pain I'll rise I'll rise I'll rise So you may write me down in history With your bitter twisted lies You may trod me down in the very dirt And still like the dust I'll rise Does my happiness upset you Why are you best with gloom Cause I laugh like I've got a goldmine Diggin' up in my living room So you may shoot me with your words You may cut me with your eyes And I'll rise I'll rise I'll rise Out of the shacks of history's shame Up from a past rooted in pain I'll rise I'll rise I'll rise
