LOVELY DAY
By
Out Of Eden

***************

When troubles come my way,
I look to you and everything is okay.
When help seems to disappear,
I look to you and everything so clear.
When hard nights turn into hard days,
how I long to see your face.
When blue skies turn to grey.
I look to you and then I know it's gonna be a...
its gonna be a lovely day.
When I wake up in the morning lord,
and the sunlight hurts my eyes.
There's something without morning lord.
Bears heavy on my mind.
Ooh... then I look to you.
And the world's alright with me.
Alright, just one look to you,
And I know it's gonna be...
I think it's gonna be a lovely day...
Chorus- A lovely(repeat)
When the day that lies ahead of me,
Seems impossible to face.
And when someone else instead of me,
Always seems to know the way,
you know that's when I look to you.
Then I look to you.
And the world's alright with me.
Alright, just one look to you.
And I know it's gonna be...
I think it's gonna be a lovely.
Chorus
When I wake up in the morning Lord
And the sunlight hurts my eyes.
There's something without warning Lord.
You that it bears heavy on my mind.
When the day that lies ahead of me,
seems impossible to face,
and when someone else instead of me
always seems to know the way
Chorus

SARAH JANE

***************

Little Sarah jane ran away from home
Fourteen and Pregnant, she was all alone.
Couldn't run from wrong, and was going to be sent away.
Walking with her blackened blue eyes full of tears,
The burden that she carries- much too old for her years
Looking at her face would confirm your worst fears,
But instead she goes unnoticed.
Sarah Jane, another girl who is dying inside,
You'd think that someone would stop, but we hide.
too intent on completing our day, and she's left there to stay...
Chorus:
Do you hear me, can you see me...walking down the street watching you
You could help me, but you're not looking
I bet you would if only you knew
Do you hear me, can you see me
Walking down the street need you
I want to make it, how do I get there?
If you showed me that you cared, you know you could make a difference.
(Verse 2)
He's left to watch the world from the fifteenthfloor
alone with the reminder, "Don't go out anymore
You know those boys are trouble here in our neighborhood
But you're my boy, and you've got the chance to be something good"
Still the call of the streets was too much to ignore
Now he's caught up in The Game and can't find an open door
He's a good boy gone bad
and he's trying to get out
But everybody's too afraid to hear what he's talking about.
Marcus Brown, lives a life much too old for his age
If no one responds he'll be words on a page
Another statistc, 'cause no calls were made
To check on the boy who was missing from the fifth grade...
(Chorus)
Bridge: Everywhere you turn there's hurting people passing by
it's such a shame that we could change a life, but we don't try to look outside our world and see the problems in this place
The children need an answer, and God needs your face.
Rap(Lisa):
Well I really want to know if you're feelin' me, the situation is real to me.
Rap(Bonafide):
You got me feelin' you under my skin,
Stevie got me wanderin' blind, again and again.
Rap(Lisa):
Do you really have a heart for the least of these
and understand that we really need to teach to these
Or keep livin' in a world were death's a fact,
Little kids askin' "Why my daddy got to die like that?"
Don't want to send your kids to school when they feel they got to pack heat to survive the walk in the streets,
Where young women aren't alive because they still believe the lies and never recognize who God made them inside,
God help us if we don't help them find their way
God help us if we don't change our living today
God help us if we hide in our corner and ignore the cries of the streets
Do you hear what they say?
God, please help them make it through the thunder and the rain
God please send somebody to ease the pain.
You know they need a way up out the game
I know you hear her God, her name is Sarah Jane (and she's crying).
(Chourus until fade)

GET TO HEAVEN

***************

So overwhelmed by all the troubles that you face
Steadily searchin' wanting to find peace in this place
Oh so certain that you will come to a better day
And you're believing that it'll come by your own way
You have forgotten everything that you once said
How you would never let success get to your head
Now you'll do anything to make it on your own
But nothing you do changes the fact that you are still
so alone, but if you
If you want to get to heaven, yeah
You've got to count the cost, pick up your cross
If you want to live forever
You better check the time, make up your mind
Do you know that there is a possibility
What you are looking for ain't all it's cracked up to
be
So what'll happen when your fame and fortune's through
And you are forced to reconcile with all that you were
make to do
I know that it seem there's no way out
And you heart is filled with doubt cause you've given
all you've got
But I feel that if strive for success is all you do
So that riches come to you, it won't last longer than
you, but if you
(chorus)

SHOW ME

***************

Na-aa-aa-aa-aa-a-aaa-a
show me another way
and I promise you,
I promise you
(verse1)
show me a sign to follow
Give me a prayer to pray
Send an angel of life from heaven
To show me another way
I've seen a light
As times gone by
Questions unanswered
So I still ask why
You know I try to improve myself
Now I really need your mercy and help
(chorus)
So show me
Another way
And I promise you I will never stray
Show me
Another way
And I'll follow you come whatever may
Show me
(verse2)
Give me a chance to start over
Give me a reason to live
Make a way,a new way for me
A piece only you can give
I've seen the light as times gone by
Questions unanswered,
so I still ask why
You know I have tried to prove myself
But I really need your mercy and help
Chorus
Ooh-ooh

MEDITATE

***************

Just Sit back and meditate
I just wanna think about it,
just think about it.
Just sit back and think how great
the love you give, oh
Just sit back and meditate
I just wanna think about it,
just think about it.
There is no way, no one compares to you.
No way, no one compares to you.
It's raining,
I don't really have no place to go,
hear a voice of quiet in my soul
saying I should go on just stay home.
Saying I should talk to you.
Tell you everything that's on my mind.
Tell you what's goin' on inside;
I don't even know when's the last time that I
made time to talk to you.
I've been so busy runnin' bout',
always trying to kick it, go hang out,
but there's, there's no one else but you.
Oh it's you I truly want to see,
cause of all the love you give to me and I
Chorus:
Just sit back and meditate
On your goodness, your mercy, your grace.
Right now I want to just sit back and think how great
your love that will never change.
I think I'm gonna just sit back and meditate.
You have given me all that I need.
And there is no way, no one compares to you.
No way, no one compares to you to me.
My tower in times of refuge,
my source of life and peace.
Your love, it falls like raindrops,
and never seems to cease.
You're the God of all creation,
you're the lover of my soul.
Given me the air that I breathe,
no way I could ever let you go, so I
So I give thanks to you
More than just for everything you've done,
but for how you've shown me you're the one that I
can put my trust into.
So no matter who it is that calls,
I'm not leavin' til your spirit falls on me.
(Repeat Chorus)
Who could I have in heaven, Lord, but you?
There's no one, there's no one.
Tell me, who could be who you are and do what you do?
Your beauty Lord, I long to see, see.
In your prescence I find joy and peace,

ALL YOU NEED

***************

Oh, Lord, it's another day
nothin' seems to go my way
and I know that I can't complain,
cause you've been so good to me.
But here I am burnin' again.
And I can't seem to find my friend;
whose name is hope and I can't pretend
that I'm not weary, so why...
Why does it always seem that I
keep losin', no matter what I'm doin'?
All I want to do is live this life,
so I'm prayin', and I hear you sayin'.
Chorus:
Don't look no further, cause I'm all you need.
No matter the problem, the answer's in me.
I'll give you courage, and I'll give you peace.
When you get tired, you can lean on me.
Oh, it's hard to understand
that there is a master plan.
That he's got our life in his hands,
and there is reason.
And a time and season,
to everything that comes along.
Though it seems all faith is gone,
just keep on believing, and you'll hear him say to you.
(Repeat Chorus)
While you're hesitating,
know the Lord is waiting.
Instead of all this worrying and wondering,
here's what you should do.
Know he'll see you through;
he cares for you,
and you should know
he'll never let you go.
(Repeat Chorus)
