Could you keep your head up? Many moons will lighten the way And sure this night will follow a day And everything you once loved remains Sometimes the tears we cry Are more than any heart can take We hurt, just keep it inside Small wonder that it starts

Across the miles tonight And I am sending you this message through the wires tonight Just close your eyes and hold on tight And here I am, concentrating girl with all my might When I'm all alone on a distant path And my ticket home has been torn in half

Oh oh woah oh Yeah, we owned the night Tell me have you ever wanted Someone so much it hurts? Your lips keep trying to speak But you just can't find the words Well I had this dream once I held it in my hands She was the purest beauty

So I let go, lose control Holding on to something That I know I can't control And I could not have it any other way Restless anxious is all I've known Defenseless against this This changes in my soul What was once reluctance soon becomes the will to grow

Everything black, I don't want black I want everything black, I ain't need black Some white some black, I ain't mean black I want everything black Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean I'm African-American, I'm African You hate me

I'll be waiting 7 seconds away Just as long as I stay It's not a second And when a child is born into this world It has no concept Of the tone the skin it's living in And there's a million voices Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane

I can see just fine with you in my life, There by my side as it starts to fade I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream A nightmare full of sorrow Come back to me, this is inconceivable Breaking apart the ones you love Hate runs deep for what you've

And enjoy this pleasant adventure Here you are, secure and protected In this, your special place Letting my voice flow into your mind You don't need to concentrate Just gently as you go Suggestions are going into your unconscious mind Open yourself up to

I'll be waiting 7 seconds away Just as long as I stay It's not a second And when a child is born into this world It has no concept Of the tone the skin it's living in And there's a million voices Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane

The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone I've waited here for you for so very long I’ve waited here for you, so long Erase what was Stillborn, I have become Just a shell of a man Stillborn, this I understand
