If I could change yesterday I would take back the time I gave to you Start over and rise from the black and blue Don't say you're not to blame Don't say you're not the one to blame You dragged me through your darkness to soak up all the rain And don't

I'll wait for you I'm not givin' up, givin' up I will fight I will fight for you I always do until my heart Is black and blue I'll reach my hands out in the dark And wait for yours to interlock 'Cause I'm not givin' up

Black beauty, Life is beautiful, Sun and ocean blue, They're magnificent, Ohhh, what can I do? But you don't have a clue It don't make sense to you Black beauty

Hear their heartbeat We hear their heartbeat Midnight, our sons and daughters Cut down, taken from us In the wind we hear their laughter In the rain we see their tears Night hangs like a prisoner Stretched over black and blue In the trees our sons stand

Punches for you Love can beat us black and blue But darling, I'll take the punches for you I'm trying to start again Ooh, after all this time, got nothing to lose Ooh, after all this time, see nothing but you You might say, I'm wasted on you But when you

Brand new, brand new This new place I got to New world, new sky That's so blue, it's black too New growth, new growth All these fakes I outgrew Blue bands, blue bands Get my cash from drive-thru Boy you're too flash, too flash

Black ghost, black ghost Black ghost is all po' Lightnin' can see And the black ghost is a shadow too Please stay away from my door Will you please stay away from my door Yeah, you know you worry po' Lightnin' so now I just can't sleep no more Yeah, you

Tunnel vision lights my way Lead a little life today She wore blue velvet Said she can't help it I got baby to pound me I see stars and go weak My baby cries and lays me down In the skies over black Venice I see eyes of a white menace

This world was made for all men We pledge allegiance All our lives To the magic colors Red, blue and white But we all must be given The liberty that we defend For with justice not for all men History will repeat again

I want to get next to you Sittin' here in this chair waitin' on you Oh, baby, to see things my way But not a word do you say You won't even look my way Girl I'm spendin' my dimes, wastin' my time Talkin' till I'm black and blue Uh, can't you see Dreams
