To Zion

Unsure what the balance held
I touched my belly overwhelmed

by what I haven't chosen to perform
but then an Angel came one day
and told me to kneel down and pray
for unto me a man-child would be born

Oh, this crazy circumstance
I knew his life deserved a chance
but everybody told me to be smart

look at your career they said
Lauren baby use your head
but instead I chose to use my heart

Chorus:
Now the joy of my world is in Zion

How beautiful and nothing more
than to wait inside his door
I've never been in love like this before

Now let me pray to keep you from
the perils that will surely come
to life for you, my prayers has just begun

and I thank you for choosing me
to come through a new life to be
the beautiful reflection of His grace

See I know that a gift so great
is only one God could create
and I'm reminded every time I see your face
That the joy of my world is in Zion

Chorus

(Marching, marching, I am marching
Marching, marching, marching to Zion
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
My Joy)

God's Grace

Everything you need Is right here
All of your problems Yes, I'm aware
And when your down I'll be right there
You can call on me 'cause, I hear your prayer

No other Name can bring joy where there is pain

He'll do it for you but first you gotta know
that it's by God's grace

Chorus:
It's by God's grace All things through Christ Jesus
No weapon formed against me shall prosper

(I'm so glad to know, so glad)

Chorus

Say you got laid off, Can't pay your bills
Sick, can't get well, My Jesus heals
He'll brighten up Your darkest day
Put your trust in Him and, He'll make a way

Anyone the Son sets free is free indeed

he'll set you free but first you gotta be a believer and know
that it's by God's grace

Chorus

Come on in before the sun goes down
Even though the devil's got you down
Though you're tired of going 'round and 'round
Take the word and knock him down
He'll forgive you of your sin
Open up and let Him in
Let the Lord show you His love
We are more than conquerors

No Woman, no cry

I remember when we used to sit
Oh, in a government yard in Brooklyn
 ---   the crookedness
as they mingle with the good people we meet
good friends we had,
oh, good friends we've lost along the way
In this great future, you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say
Oh, to my peeps who past away

No woman, no cry  No woman, no cry
Oh, hey little sista  don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry

I remember when we used to rock
in a project yard in Jersey
and little Gorgie would make you fall in line
as stolen cars pass through the night
and then we'd hit the corner store
for root paper and brew
my drinks my only remedy
for pain of losing family

Ev'ry ting's gonna be alright
Ev'ry ting's gonna be alright
Fugee's come to the dance tonight
Ev'ry ting's gonna be alright
Ev'ry ting's gonna be alright
The conn man's in the house tonight
but, Ev'ry ting's gonna be alright

Oh, ah, oh, ah

No woman, no cry  No woman, no cry
Oh, hey little sista  don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry

I remember when we used to sing
Oh, in the government yard in Trenchtown
---- they hippocrits
as they mingle with the good people we meet
good friends we had,
oh, good friends we've lost along the way
In this great future you can't forget your past
so dry your tears I say

No woman, no cry  No woman, no cry
Oh, hey little sista  don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
Oh, to my peeps who've past way

Oh, ah, oh, ah

Title Unknown

Everybody wants to find Graffiti Bridge
Something to believe in. A reason to believe
There's a Heaven above.
Everybody wants to find Graffiti Bridge.
Everybody's looking for love

 Everybody wants to find Graffiti Bridge.
A bridge of many colors
A bridge that leads to a better land than this real
Everybody wants to find Graffiti Bridge
Everybody's looking for love.

from the movie: Graffiti Bridge

Out from the Deep

We came out from the deep
To learn to love, to learn how to live
We cam out from the deep
To avoid the mistakes they made
that's why we are here

We came out from the deep
To help and understand but not to kill
It takes many lives 'til we suceed
To clear the debts of many hundred years
That's why we are here

I Will Get There

I've been wandrin' 'round in the dark
I been lost somewhere
where no light could shine on my heart
I've known a pain so deep
but I know my faith will free me get there
and I'll get through this get there
I'll find my way again
so don't tell me that it's over
'cause each step just gets me closer
I will get there

I will get there
I will get there somehow
cross that river
nothing's stopping me now
I will get through the night
and make it through to the other side
get there, get there

I've been in these chains for so long
I'll break free and I'll be there where I belong
hold my head up high I stand tall
and I swear this time I won't fall get there
I will do this get there
no matter what it takes
'cause I know no limitations
and I'll reach my destination
I will get there

I will get there
I will get there somehow
cross that river
nothing's stopping me now
I will get through the night
and make it through to the other side
get there, get there

Well the night is cold and dark
but somewhere the sun's shining
and I feel it shine on me
I'll keep trying, I'll keep trying

I will get there
I will get there somehow
cross that river
nothing's stopping me now
I will get through the night
and make it through to the other side
get there, get there

Will You Be There

It starts with a thought of loving display
I hold it with hope and inside me it stays
And seek your reply but smile ‘cause I know
Sometimes love comes in the funniest ways

When this feeling comes over me
Will you be there?
To receive and let this love breed?

Curiosity has it’s part
Is it just my body
Or does it include my heart?
We can’t. Make moves. Until. I’m sure.
I tried but it just makes me want you more.

When this feeling comes over me
Will you be there?
To receive and let this love breed?

Please don’t, don’t go.
feelings, take me over
Love, like a spell that you’ve got me on
And I know as time goes
We’ll fall closer
I thought I could tell
But still I wonder

When this feeling comes over me
Will you be there?
To receive and let this love breed?

I wanna know, please tell me!

When this feeling comes over me
Will you be there?
To receive and let this love breed?

The Child in Us

Some day you came
And I knew you were the one
You were the rain, you were the sun
But I needed both, cause I needed you

You were the one
I was dreaming of all my life
When it is dark you are my light
But don't forget
Who's always our guide

It is the child in us

by: Michael Cretu
from his Le Roi es Mort, Vive le Roi
lyrics "borrowed" from Osvaldo Dalzotto

These are the Days

God knows how the story goes?
IT's taking everything you need
I kissed you over and the feelings I feel I find
How the hell could I not want you

Girl you don' t have to be afraid
I'll wait for you, You wait for me
Cuz true love's assisting me
Don't have to rush at all

These are the times we all wish for
The moment when less means so much more
We don't have to do a thing at all
We can take our time and talk
And this is the way things need to be
No pressure from you and none from me
Just let the mood set the moment off
We can make love or not at all

Be thinkin bout you all the time
Morning noon and supper time
Tear you up in little pieces
Swallow you like reeses pieces
Come on girl you know I need you

(I know) It aint suppose to be a thing
(I know) I'll wait for you, you wait for me
(And I know)True love's assisting me don't have to rush at at all

These are the times we all wish for
The moment when less means so much more
We don't have to do a thing at all
We can take our time and talk
And this is the way things need to be
No pressure from you and none from me
Just let the mood set the moment off
We can make love or not at all

I don't make promises
Cuz I know my heart get's weak
When I get around you girl
It makes them hard to keep
Cuz you bring out the best
Make me the man
God knows I'm proud to be

These are the times we all wish for
The moment when less means so much more
We don't have to do a thing at all
We can take our time and talk
And this is the way things need to be
No pressure from you and none from me
Just let the mood set the moment off
We can make love or not at all
