MIND OVER MATTER (HAH!) EASY FOR YOU TO SAY

BET YOU WOULDN’T THINK IT IF YOU WORE MY SHOES ONE DAY

THERE ARE THINGS IN LIFE WE NEVER WANNA PLAN MUCH PAST ONE DAY

WHEN ALL YOU NEED IS A SMILE AND YOU KNOW THAT IT’S ALL GONNA BE OK

 

I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS ALL I NEEDED

WOULD I GIVE YOU EVERYTHING IF YOU STAYED HERE IN MY LIFE?

 

DOES IT REALLY MATTER WHY IT IS THIS WAY?

OR IS EVERY MOMENT JUST A BLESSING FOR TODAY

ALL I KNOW IS THAT ALL I HAVE IS THE WAY I FEEL TONITE

IT’S ENOUGH FOR TODAY I CAN SAY THAT I WANT YOU IN MY LIFE

 

I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS WHAT I WANTED

WILL I GIVE YOU EVERYTHING IF YOU STAY HERE IN MY LIFE?

 

IT’S THE BRIGHTEST SUNSHINE THOUGH IF FEELS LIKE RAIN

BUT THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH AND IT’S REAL AND IT’S REALLY ALL THE SAME

THERE ARE THINGS IN LIFE WE NEVER WANNA PLAN MUCH PAST ONE DAY

ALL I NEED IS YOUR SMILE AND I KNOW THAT IT’S ALL GONNA BE OK

 

THE ONE TO BELIEVE IN YOU’RE ALL I EVER WANTED

I WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING BECAUSE I WANT YOU IN MY LIFE

Aint got no reason to tell a lie

Just ask the question, I will tell you why

You really need to slow down

You’re movin way to fast

You know you’ll live much better

When you make it last, cos

 

IF IT AINT SLOW IT AINT FUNKY

IF IT AINT SLOW IT AINT FUNKY

 

My mama told me

“You better take your time

 ‘Cause it’s too easy

To lose you mind”

You’ll run around in circles

And then you never will know

What it is that hit you

Until you change to SLOW.”

 

CHORUS

 

 

I listen to my lady

I hear what she says

“You better make it a long time

Before you break away.”

You think she’s wrong?

Well I think she’s right

We’re gonna see who will fade away

And who will last all night

YOU TURNED MY LIFE AROUND

 

THERE IS NO ONE QUITE LIKE YOU BABY

NO ONE MADE ME FEEL THE THINGS OF A DREAM   

COME TRUE

THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME BABY

CAN’T GO BACK TO LIFE BEFORE THE LOVE WE

SHARED

IT MAY BE THAT WE ONLY HAVE TODAY BUT

TOMORROW IS A MILLION MILES AWAY

BECAUSE YOU TURNED MY LIFE AROUND

 

 

YOU’VE GIVEN ME A REASON WHY

NO MORE LONG AND LONELY NIGHTS

BABY YOU AND YOU ALONE

YOU HAVE GIVEN ME THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON

AND THOUGH I KNOW THAT WORDS CAN NEVER SAY

I JUST WANNA THANK YOU ANYWAY

BECAUSE YOU TURNED MY LIFE AROUND

 

 

 

AND EVEN THOUGH YOU TRY TO WALK AWAY

LOVE GETS STRONGER EVERY DAY

BECAUSE YOU TURNED MY LIFE AROUND.

 

 

 

FOR KNOWING THAT I NEEDED YOU

NEEDED SOMETHING MORE

FOR SEEING ALL THE SIGNS

FOR WALKING THROUGH THE DOOR

FOR TRYING TO BELIEVE IN ME

FOR MAKING SO MUCH SENSE

FOR MAKING ME BELIEVE IN YOU

YOU’VE SAVED ME FROM MYSELF

 

AND I JUST WANNA THANK YOU (3TIMES)

ONE MORE TIME

 

FOR ALL THE THINGS I’VE PRAYED FOR

FOR ALL THE THINGS YOU GAVE

FOR GIVING ME THE STRENGTH

THE STRENGTH I NEED TO WAIT

FOR GIVING ME TOMORROW

FOR BEING HERE TODAY

FOR GIVING ME THE FUTURE

AND SHOWING ME THE WAY

 

FOR LOVING ME THE WAY YOU DO

FOR STAYING ON MY MIND

FOR FEELING LIKE I FEEL

FOR OPENING MY EYES.

FOR GIVING ME TOMORROW

FOR BEING HERE TODAY

FOR GIVING ME THE FUTURE

AND SHOWING ME THE WAY

THIS IS MY LIFE

IT AIN’T SO FLASHY

IT’S ALL I’VE GOT

COST ME MY HEART

THIS IS MY LIFE

LIKE IT OR LEAVE IT

BUT DON’T PUT IT DOWN

 

THIS IS MY HOUSE

IT MIGHT BE EMPTY

BUT IT IS A HOME

FOUR WALLS ARE PLENTY

THIS IS MY HOUSE

LIKE IT OR LEAVE IT BUT

DON’T PUT IT DOWN

 

THIS IS MY COUNTRY

THIS IS MY FLAG

I KNOW IT AIN’T PERFECT

COST ME MY LEG

THIS IS MY COUNTRY

LIKE IT OR LEAVE IT

BUT DON’T PUT IT DOWN

 

THIS IS MY WORLD

EVERYTHING’S WRONG

COULD COST ME MY SOUL

BUT IT WONT BE LONG

THIS IS MY WORLD

LIKE IT OR LEAVE IT

BUT DON’T PUT IT DOWN

DON’T PUT IT DOWN

I am weak we are strong

I will end we will go on

I am now but we will be

No one can stop this unity

And we will stay if we can say we are together

 

Religion, Race, Philosophy

Is no excuse for what I see

This has gone too far. Enough!

We all were born to live in love

One and all should heed the call to come together

 

The angry smoke the endless tears

The broken hearts that live in fear

It may not be that close to you

But when it is what will you do?

What will it take for you to say let’s come together?

 

And we believe in living free

Peace, Justice and equality

And no matter what you do

For long you will not hide the truth

We shall prevail we cannot fail if we’re together

 

And we’ve only just begun

Hearts of many souls of one

And this is my destiny and

I won’t stop ’til you agree

To say it now and say it loud let’s come together

 

I’m just trying to make you see that

I need you and you need me

Let’s all decide that now’s the time to come together

Today’s the day to come together
