RAIN YOUR LOVE DOWN
***************
Such a lovely world was made for you and me
Wondrous life for us to taste, touch, smell, hear, and see
But one glance from outside looking at our world state
Clearly displays we don’t appreciate it at all
Rain your love down won’t you rain down your love
Let it drench us like the sun from above
Such ability inside you and me
Made to do anything and be all we can be
But one bird’s eye view at us does show, oh it shows
That against God’s Plan we’ve let it go, oh no
Rain your love down won’t you rain down your love
Let it drench us like the sun from above
Rain your love down let it rain down today
So that it may wash all our sins away
You’d think the signs would make a difference,
Oh, make a difference
You’d think fire next time instead of rain
Would cause us to make a change
The world has gone insane
Rain your love down won’t you rain down your love
Let it drench us like the sun from above
Rain your love down let it rain down today
So that it may wash all our sins away, let it rain
Rain your love down let it pour on us, please
Cleansing us from hunger, hate, war, and greed
Rain your love down, won’t you let it start over again
So we can live up to your Master Plan
Rain your love down, oh won’t you let it start
Wash the wicked minds and the…
I know they’re sick, you know they’re sick at heart, yeah
Rain your love down won’t you let it rain
Rid this world of drugs, disease, crime, and pain
Clear our spirits give our minds new software
With your lesson on honor, respect, trust, and care
Rain your love down I beg for human sake
For only you can get us out of this state
Rain your love down on all mankind
Cause we are out of order and so out of line
BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND
***************
How many roads must a man walk down before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the canon balls fly before they’re forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
How many years must a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist before they’re allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn’t see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
MAYBE YOUR BABY
***************
I’m feelin’ down and some kind of lonely,
Cause’ my baby done left me here,
Heart’s blazing like a five alarm fire
And I don’t even give a care
I feel like the world is turnin’ on me,
My dreams turnin’ to ashes right in front of my face,
And I’m gettin’ kind of worried,
And I feel so out of place,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
. . I feel like cryin’, yeh, yeh
Maybe baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
In the mornin’ when I’ve got heartache,
I can’t call up the doctor for help,
Cause’ the only person that could ever do me any good,
Is steppin’ out with my best friend
I feel like I’m slippin’ deeper,
Slippin’ deeper into myself,
And I can’t take it,
This stuff is scarin’ me to death
Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
Kinda makin’ me worried,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
Little Sally Walker, sittin’ in a saucer,
Checkin’ out the guys that are passing by
…by, by, by, by…
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
Not includin’ future plans,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans,
Maybe my baby done made some other plans,
Maybe my baby done made another plan
with another man.
Your baby, your baby, stupid baby, your baby,
That you put so trust so much trust in your baby,
Maybe your baby done made some other plans
QUEEN IN THE BLACK
***************
Excuse me please your majesty
I chance this moment nervously
To share with you a fantasy
That I have lived inside of me
And it is so pretty
And it is so fine
Its the kind you’d love to last you
Until the end of time
We’ve talked of love, we’ve talked of life
And what would make the world so nice
We’ve walked the sand by lover’s sea
I’ve held your body close to me
And it is so pretty
How I’d love to know
For if I had a chance to hold you
I’d never let you go
You’re my queen in the black
With your time-stopping body
Queen in the black
With your eyes that hypnotize, girl
Queen in the black
With your voice that’s sweet as candy
Queen in the black
Miss Ebony, you really turn me on
There’s not a day that passes by
That I don’t have you on my mind
If this ain’t love I have inside
Then my heart’s telling me a lie
Cause it feels so special
And it feels so right
And if I could I know I’d love you
For the rest of my life
You’re my queen in the black
With your time-stopping body
Queen in the black
With your eyes that hypnotize, girl
Queen in the black
With your voice that’s sweet as candy
