This is what I am This is what I have become What is love without sacrifice My tears hold no weight If my commitment is only failure Each day I am born again to be A child in the eyes of love Repeating yesterday Drain me of my very last essence To form

Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I've seen the sunrise See the love in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love You know I like my chicken fried Well I was raised up

And we hide away, love the night away, And we run between the shadows and the light, Well we rifle through the night, Like riders on the run now, in the street-- Holding back the blinding light, 'cause a thousand eyes can be so indiscreet, We're children

I love you 'cause your deuces are wild, girl Like a double shot of lovin' so fine I've been lovin' you since you was a child, girl 'Cause you and me is two of a kind I love to look into your big brown eyes They talk to me and seem to hypnotize You say

Interpretation of early black and white haitian love songs Oceans wept Moutains slept Sidewalks crumbled to ash Your name remains In children's lullabies And your eyes forever in the sky

I fell in love in the back of a cop car But there was somethin' bout the way The blue lights were shinin' Bringing out the freedom in your eyes I was too busy watching you Going wild child To be worried about going to jail You were thinking that Running

Two lovers alone and out of sight Seeing images in the firelight As my eyes visualize a family They see Emily, Emily Emily, Emily, Emily Has the murmuring sound of may All silver bells, coral shells, carousels And the laughter of children at play Say
