Wonderful Wonderful

[Verse 1]

Don't you listen to the never

Keep praying for rain

Dancing for rain little girl by the drain

Motherless child, rescue rescue

Don't you listen to the never

Keep praying for rain

Dancing for rain with your doll by the drain

Motherless child, rescue rescue

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Keep an ear to the shell, keep an ear to the shell

Stay on the path that leads to the well

There are many take the one that leads to the well, rescue rescue

Keep an ear to the shell, keep an ear to the shell

[Chorus 1]

Motherless child dost thou believe

That thine afflictions have caused us to grieve?

Motherless child angels have closed

Their eyes, thou wast thrown away and exposed

[Verse 2]

Don't you listen to the never

Keep praying for rain

Dancing for rain, no sweet for the pain of a motherless child

Rescue rescue

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Keep an ear to the shell, keep an ear to the shell

Stay on the path that leads to the well

There are many, take the one that leads to the well

[Chorus 2]

Motherless child, follow my voice

And I shall give thee great cause to rejoice

Motherless child, be of good cheer

Mine arm is reached out, I am here

I'll crush every doubt and every fear

Clothesline the shame and you will answer to the name

[Bridge]

Wonderful wonderful, wonderful wonderful

Motherless child I am with thee, thou wast never alone

Maybe I'm dirty, maybe I'm unworthy

Motherless child, can you hear me? I will give you a home

Wonderful wonderful, wonderful wonderful

Motherless child I am with thee, thou wast never alone

Maybe I'm dirty, maybe I'm unworthy

Motherless child, can you hear me? I will give you a home

You were never alone

[Verse 1]

I know the score like the back of my hand

Them other boys, I don't give a damn

They kiss on the ring, I carry the crown

Nothing can break, nothing can break me down

Don't need no advice, I got a plan (Ooh-ooh)

I know the direction, the lay of the land (Ooh-ooh)

I know the score like the back of my hand

Them other boys, I don't give a damn

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm the man, come round

No-no-nothing can break, no-nothing can break me down

I'm the man, come round and

No-no-nothing can break, you can't break me down

[Chorus]

I got gas in the tank

I got money in the bank

I got news for you baby

You're looking at the man (Looking at the man)

I got skin in the game

I got a household name

I got news for you baby, you're looking at the man

[Verse 2]

When it comes to Friday, I always earn (Ooh-ooh)

Don't try to teach me, I got nothing to learn

'Cause baby I'm gifted

You see what I mean?

USDA certified lean

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm the man, come round

No-no-nothing can break, you can't break me down

[Chorus]

I got gas in the tank

I got money in the bank

I got news for you baby

You're looking at the man (Looking at the man)

I got skin in the game

I don't feel no pain

I got news for you baby, you're looking at the man

[Post-Chorus]

Who's the man? Who's the man?

I'm the man, I'm the man

Who's the man with the plan?

I'm the man (Looking at the man)

Who's the man? Who's the man?

I'm the man, I'm the man

Who's the man with the plan?

I'm the man

[Interlude]

I'm the man (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

I'm the man (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Chorus]

I got gas in the tank

I got money in the bank

I got news for you baby

You're looking at the man (Looking at the man)

I got skin in the game

Headed to the hall of fame

I got news for you baby, you're looking at the man

[Bridge]

Right hand to God

First in command

My testimony, when I take the stand

[Post-Chorus]

Who's the man? Who's the man?

I'm the man, I'm the man

Who's the man with the plan?

I'm the man (Looking at the man)

Who's the man? Who's the man?

I'm the man, I'm the man

Who's the man with the plan?

I'm the man

[Outro]

I don't give a damn

I'm the man

Haa! Ha-ah!

Don't give up on me

'Cause I'm just in a rut

I'm climbing but the walls keep stacking up

[Verse 1]

Can't keep my mind off of every little wrong

I see the mouths are open, but I can't hear the song

I've done my best to fill 'em, but the cracks are starting to spread

Hey I won't blame you baby, go on turn your head

[Chorus]

But don't give up on me

'Cause I'm just in a rut

I'm climbing but the walls keep stacking up

[Verse 2]

I can't keep pretending this next stop isn't mine

The truth is on the table, someone's gotta sign

I've done my best defending, but the punches are starting to land

I'm sliding into something you won't understand

[Chorus]

Don't give up on me

'Cause I'm just in a rut

I'm climbing but the walls keep stacking up

But don't give up on me

'Cause I'm just in a rut

I'm climbing but the walls keep stacking up

[Bridge]

So I'm handing you a memory

I hope you understand

That steadily reminds you of who I really am

This city's always breathing, I wish that it would die

The kickbacks and the bachelors, the fever for the velvet rope

The money from my mother's men

I'm not like her, you're not like them

I'll climb and I'll climb, I'll climb and I'll climb, I'll climb and I'll climb

I'll climb and I'll climb, I'll climb and I'll climb, I'll climb and I'll climb

I'll climb and I'll climb, I'll climb and I'll climb, I'll climb and I'll climb

[Outro]

Don't you give up on me (don't you give up, don't you give up)

Don't you give up on me (don't you give up, don't you give up)

Don't you give up on me (don't you give up, don't you give up)

Don't you give up on me (don't you give up, don't you give up)

[Verse 1]

I didn't see this comin', I admit it

But if you think I'll buckle, forget it

I told you that I'd be the one

I'll be there in the life to come

[Verse 2]

You think I lost my vision but I didn't

It sounds like heaven, but it isn't

Through fields of amber we will run

Somewhere in the life to come

[Pre-Chorus 1]

This is not a shake down

Let go of the blame

Have a little faith in me, girl

Just dropkick the shame

Uncover your face, girl

Let go of the blame

Have a little faith in me

Just drop kick the shame

[Bridge]

Call my name

Call my name

[Chorus]

If you call my name

I will run whether or not it's tonight

Or the life to come

Or the life to come

[Verse 3]

I know sometimes you think that I regret it

But I don't remember stumblin' when I said it

I told you that I'd be the one

I was talkin 'bout the life to come

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I know it ain't a cake walk (I'm not gonna break down)

Let go of the blame

Have a little faith in me, girl

Just drop kick the shame

[Chorus]

If you call my name

I will run whether or not it's tonight

Or the life to come

Or the life to come

If you call my name

I will run whether or not it's tonight

Or the life to come

Or the life to come

Or the life to come

If you call my name

If you call my name

I will run whether or not it's tonight

Or the life to come

Or the life to come

[Pre-Chorus 1]

This is not a shake down

Let go of the blame

Have a little faith in me, girl

Just drop kick the shame

[Verse 1]

What have you gathered to report to your progenitors?

Are your excuses any better than your senator's?

He held a conference and his wife was standing by his side

He did her dirty but no-one died

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I saw Sonny Liston on the street last night

Black-fisted and strong singing Redemption Song

He motioned me to the sky

I heard heaven and thunder cry

[Chorus]

Run for cover

Run while you can, baby, don't look back

You gotta run for cover

Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man

You know you're not the only one

And don't look back, just run for cover

[Verse 2]

What are you waiting for, a kiss or an apology?

You think by now you'd have an A in toxicology

It's hard to pack the car when all you do is shame us

It's even harder when the dirtbag's famous

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I saw my mother on the street last night

All pretty and strong, singing 'the road is long'

I said 'Momma I know you've tried'

But she fell on her knees and cried

[Chorus]

Run for cover

Run while you can, baby, don't look back

You gotta run for cover

Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man

I know you're not the only one

And don't look back, just run for cover

[Bridge]

And there was nothing she wouldn't give

Just to trust him with her nightmares, with her dreams

She's running, she's running

Just to trust him

He got a big smile, he's fake news

Just run for cover, you've got nothing left to lose

[Chorus]

Run for cover

Run while you can, baby, don't look back

You gotta run for cover

Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out trap, man

You know you're not the only one

And don't look back, just run for cover

[Outro]

Run

Run

Run for cover

[Verse 1]

Lookin' out the window, out on the street

I don't know what happened, I'm out on my feet

I hear my mother calling my name

I still come running, but I ain't the same

[Pre-Chorus 1]

You can change the channel

Take the phone off the hook

Avoid the headlines

But you'll never grow up, baby, if you don't look

[Chorus]

When I saw him go down

Felt like somebody lied

I had to hold my breath 'til the coast was clear

When I saw him go down

Felt like somebody lied

I had to close my eyes just to stop the tears

[Verse 2]

You're used to winning, how did it feel?

Could you hear the screaming? It was unreal

What did they pay you, what did it cost?

How long did it take you to know that you lost?

[Pre-Chorus 2]

You can hit the showers

Fill the place up with steam

Close the curtains

But when you woke up, man it wasn't no dream

[Chorus]

When I saw him go down

Felt like somebody lied

I had to hold my breath 'til the coast was clear

When I saw him go down

Felt like somebody lied

I had to close my eyes, close my eyes

Just to stop the tears

[Bridge]

Lookin' out the window out on the street

My boy and his mother

And I think of me

Feelin' the slip again

Don't wanna fall

You said it was nothing, but maybe you're wrong

[Chorus]

'Cause when I saw him go down

Felt like somebody lied

I had to hold my breath 'til the coast was clear

When I saw him go down

Felt like somebody lied

I had to close my eyes just to stop the tears

(Just to stop the tears)

(Just to stop the tears)

[Verse 1]

You got the will of a wild

A wild bird

You got the faith of a child

Before the world gets in

[Chorus]

You got some kind of love

You got some kind of love

(Some kind)

[Verse 2]

You got the soul of a truck

On a long distance haul

You got the grace of a storm

In the desert

[Chorus]

You got some kind of love (some kind of love)

You got some kind of love

You got some kind

You got some kind

You got some kind

You got some kind of love

You got some kind

You got some kind

You got some kind

You got some kind of love

You got some kind

You got some kind

You got some kind

You got some kind of love

[Outro]

Can't do this alone

We need you at home

There's so much to see

We know that you're strong

Can't do this alone

We need you at home

There's so much to see

We know that you're strong

Can't do this alone

[Verse 1]

We're building up a kingdom

We pray it never falls

I can lose my temper

You can put up walls

And I hate when it gets serious

It's like we're going blind

Take the needle off the record

I can't stand another chorus

About Juliet's control

Over mystified mankind

[Chorus]

But I can't get you out of mind

To get you out of my bed

To get you out of my heart

And my head

(Oh, we're falling)

(Oh, we're falling)

[Verse 2]

I stormed the gates of Graceland

To make you realize

Went back to back with Springsteen

You turned and rolled your eyes

So I told you about McCartney

And that's a heavy name to drop

You say you don't need confirmation

But I don't know if I can stop

[Chorus]

Cause I can't get you out of my mind

To get you out of my bed

To get you out of my heart

And my head

(Oh, we're falling)

(Oh, we're falling)

[Outro]

Oh we're falling

Oh we're falling

Oh we're falling

Oh we're falling

Oh we're falling

[Intro]

And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw this, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick

[Verse 1]

I walked into town with a message for my old man

I've got the last two chapters of Matthew in my hand

Steve painting houses while Bobby went and gone insane

They buried my sister but daddy he stayed the same

[Chorus]

Follow the sun out of the night

Brother, just lean into the light

You wanna be sure, I’ll give you sight

Brother, just lean into the light

[Verse 2]

His hands still shake when the ponies break out on the track

(Here comes the calling)

His feet still quick when they say they want their money back (Here comes the calling)

But Daddy did you think that you could outrun the Holy Ghost? (Here comes the calling)

Lie, cheat, steal, hope they fix it all up in post

[Pre-Chorus]

The book will be open

In front of the judge

Unquenchable fire

Or keys to the kingdom

[Chorus]

Follow the sun out of the night

Brother, just lean into the light

(Just lean into the light)

You wanna be sure, I’ll give you sight

Brother, just lean into the light

(Just lean into the light)

The road to the kingdom's burnin' bright

Brother, just lean into the light

[Bridge]

You heard that the master was traveling through

But what would you do if he walked in the room?

Make for the left, or break for the right?

Brother, just lean in

Brother, just lean into the light

[Chorus]

Follow the sun out of the night

Brother, just lean into the light

(Just lean into the light)

You wanna be sure, I’ll give you sight

Brother, just lean into the light

(Just lean into the light)

The road to the kingdom's burnin' bright

Brother, just lean into the light

(Just lean into the light)

Follow the sun out of the night

Brother, just lean into the light

[Outro]

Here comes the calling

Here comes the calling

[Verse 1]

Have all the songs been written?

Have all the truths been told?

Has all the gas been siphoned?

Do the banks still carry gold?

[Chorus]

Has every ship gone sailing?

Has every heart gone blue?

Have all the songs been written?

Oh, I just need one to get through to you

I just need one more

[Verse 2]

Have all the songs been written?

Have all your needs been met?

Have all these years been worth it

Or am I the great regret?

[Chorus]

Has every ship gone sailing?

Has every heart gone blue?

Have all the songs been written?

Oh, I just need one to get through to you

I just need one more to get through to you

I can't take back what I've done wrong

I just need one more

[Bridge]

When the train returns to the rails

When the ship is back in the harbor

I will make you happy again

I can see it, I believe it

[Chorus]

I just need one more to get through to you

I just need one more to get through to you

I can't take back what I've done wrong

I just need one more
