.img I can hear the train in the distance Save my soul by mornin' light Spirit move without resistance Somehow I know that it'll be alright Cuz just as sure as the sun gives way to the moon Just as sure as the gray gives way to the blue I'm gonna ride to the heavens chil' Inside my groove I can feel the rain fallin' all around me Cool me down when I've been hot Gentle breeze liftin’ me slowly Don't you know, don’t you know you're all I got Cuz just as sure as the lies give way to the truth Just as sure as the old seem to envy the youth I'm gonna ride to the heavens chil' Inside my groove GROOVE They can try to break me They can come and steal everything I got But I know what can save me Cuz in the groove, baby I found God If they tell my story, make sure that if only one thing is true I didn't seek the glory All I wanted was the truth Cuz just as sure as God is the air that I breath Just as sure as love knocks all to their knees I'm gonna ride to the heavens chil' Inside my groove

Blood 04:48
Blood I got blood on my hands I got blood on my hands I can type it on my Facebook or post it on Instagram But I got blood; I got blood on my hands Armchair politics Superior positions Talkin’ bout a better life Just a-hopin and a-wishin I got my bullhorn So I can scream my truth out loud While the brother standin’ next to me Gets lost off in the crowd I got blood on my hands I got blood on my hands I can type it on my Facebook or post it on Instagram But I got blood; I got blood on my hands They’ll feed you lies If you give enough ammunition You’ll only hear your own side If you fall prey to the algorithm Another died on the schoolyard But you can’t say that we don’t care We won’t march on the boulevard But we’ll be sendin’ up thoughts and prayers See, we got blood on our hands We got blood on our hands We can type it on our Facebook or post it on Instagram But we got blood; we got blood on our hands You're either preachin' to the choir Or talkin' to the wall And no one hears each other Until the sound of silence falls In the silence that surrounds you When the lights begin to fade We're left with easy words And the promises you made In the silence... You better hear me when I say We got blood on our hands You got blood on your hands See, I can type it on my Facebook And it's more than I can stand I got blood; I got blood on my hands Do you know what I typed?

The Space Between There’s a bittersweet light in your eyes Just like stormy southern skies They say that you want to but you can’t stay But if you want me, I’ll be Waiting right here whenever you need But if it’s only in the space between Why don’t you meet me in New Orleans New Orleans, New Orleans Why don’t you meet me in New Orleans If it's only in the space between Why don’t you meet me in New Orleans There is something in your glance that says you’d leap if you only had the chance But honey, there’s no way to follow your head and still follow your heart I can see it when you smile and its been there all the while Cuz we know the truth of the truth that keeps us apart New Orleans, New Orleans Why don’t you meet me in New Orleans If it’s only in the space between Why don’t you meet me in New Orleans If you want, I’ll keep the light on Even though you know the way Girl while you’re gone I’ll keep your side warm Hoping that one day, maybe one day One day you’ll stay If I could, I’d stay and be close to you each and every day But if it’s only in the space between Why don’t you meet me in New Orleans New Orleans, New Orleans Why don’t you meet me in New Orleans If it’s only in the space between...

Alison 03:24
Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl. And with the way you look I understand That you are not impressed. But I heard you let that little friend of mine Take off your party dress. I'm not going to get too sentimental Like those other sticky valentines, Cause I don't know if you've been loving somebody. I only know it isn't mine. Alison, I know this world is killing you. Oh, Alison, my aim is true. Well I see you've got a husband now. Did he leave your pretty fingers lying In the wedding cake? You used to hold him right in your hand. I'll bet he took all he could take. Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking When I hear the silly things that you say. I think somebody better put out the big light, Cause I can't stand to see you this way. Alison, I know this world is killing you. Oh, Alison, my aim is true. My aim is true.

SL23 04:49
SL23 Hello my love, I heard a kiss from you Red magic satin playing near, too All through the morning rain I gaze, the sun doesn't shine Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind In the garden, I see West purple shower bells and tea Orange birds and river cousins Dressed in green Pretty music, I hear So happy and loud Blue flowers echo From a cherry cloud Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue Playgrounds will laugh If you try to ask "Is it cool?" If you arrive and don't see me I'm going to be with my baby I am free, flying in her arms over the sea Stained window, yellow candy screen See speakers of kite With velvet roses diggin' Freedom flight A present from you Strawberry letter 22 The music plays I sit in for a few

The Ghost of St. Ann At the cross of sin and salvation I wonder which way to turn If I live if I die, I hear my mother cry And either way, I burn She pleads for me to save her from the truths, she hears as lies I hold off my cries As she stares through my eyes And I sing for the ghost of st. Ann In the darkness there is silence Save for the sound of my beating heart I know, I know Down this road when we must go But I don’t know where to start There’s a sound there that surrounds me that I have yet to understand It calls to me; it comforts me As I pray to the ghost of st. Ann In my mind, I see her younger With a fire there in her eyes Her voice like rolling thunder In her laugh, in her prayers, in her cries I see her with her son As they go there hand in hand Down the road, the road we all must go As they sing to the ghost of St. Ann Isaiah 26:3

A World Without Time, they say, is the healer The cure for every wound I lay and wait, deliver me Bring peace inside my blue Joy I’ve known inside Rainbow colors so defined Dreams I’ve had that never fade Lost inside my mind But I... Fell to the bottom of a big ass hole Lost my love there lost my soul Found myself living there on my knees But now my mission is to slay the beast Cuz I no longer dream of a world without pain Cuz if it weren’t for loss I wouldn’t know the gain Time, they say, is a thief Stealing life just as soon as it’s detected Hang your head on silly grief But it’s time I find myself resurrected Cuz I ... Fell to the bottom of a big ass hole Lost my love there lost my soul Found myself living there on my knees But now my mission is to slay the beast Cuz I no longer dream of a world without pain Cuz if it weren’t for loss I wouldn’t know the gain Time, they say, is the healer The cure for every wound I lay and wait, deliver me Bring peace inside my blue...
