Soul Sister, won’t you talk to me
Noose around my neck, the way it’s always been
And I can’t get ahead, ‘cause I keep slip slip slipping away
Soul Brother won’t you walk with me
Weights around my feet the way it’s always been
And I can’t get ahead, ‘cause I keep slip slip slipping away yeah
Be thankful for the lot that you’ve got and no more
Be thankful for the lot that you’ve got and no more, no more, no more.

I'm going back home this time,
Way back to where I belong,
I left a long time ago,
Don't recognise it no more,

Woah Yeah Yeah

She left me nothing to keep, Yeah,
Shot like a dog in the street,
But I trust her every time,
Can't get the girl off my mind,

Woah Yeah Yeah

So much for a happy end,
Took right off with my best friend,
Now I'm going home again,
For the first time in a while,

I'm going back home this time,
Way back to where I belong,
I left a long time ago,
Don't recognize it no more

I’ll wait for you old friend
It’s been so long again.
And as we travel on,
So, I’m told, it won’t be long.
But know this brother
Soon we’ll be back home.

I’ll carry you once more
As we roll along this dusty floor.
I’ll see you safely there,
For I know, your dreams are near.
But know this brother
Soon we’ll be back home.

As we see the shore
This year’s been hard, but there’ll be more.
I see the light of dawn
And as we march it matters not.
But know this brother
Soon we’ll be back home.

I wouldn’t mind dancing like we own the place,
Running from another race.
But you, wouldn’t see, prancing like you own the place.
Trying to fake a friendly face.
And I’m free,
singing for today
Singing all the same
I’m not yet far away.
But could it be I’m free?
Singing for today?
Singing all the same
I’m heading far away.

So, it wouldn’t dry. Find the time another day.
Fill the hole another way.
They’re asking how will it work?
Finally slip away again.
Trying to find my way again.
And I’m free…
Don’t follow me anywhere
Don’t say “how will I find my way back home?” today.
Nobody really knows me anyway
Don’t want to stay so I’m on my way from home, I’m far away.

Wake up and see a brand-new day
And wave my old life away
The sun now shines where there was dark
I see new hope, a little spark.

Lo and behold, another year
This time I feel nothing to fear
I set my sights out from the shore.

It feels like starting over
I get a little bit closer
To another adventure
I feel a change in the weather.

Wake up and see a new blue sky
Brush off all fear and any lies
The grass now grows never like before.

He’s grown too big for his boots
Can’t swing a cat before he shoots
Fly over here, I’ll hide in there
Take a swig of beer and he’ll fly again,
To maybe who knows where?

So why don’t we take off and fly there?
Why don’t we fall in and dive out?
Why don’t we sit back again?

They’ve gone away and left the dog
Walk in and find he’d laid a log
Wake up the mail man’s stole your milk
We drink up. We all together will,
Not long, but still…

Have you ever heard
Of another faithful preacher
Telling all to adhere, cos they’re living the wrong way?
Were you told not to trust
Those with different skin to us
By some self-obsessed opinionist?
Well this is what I’d say.

It’s not the time or the place for what you’re saying
It’s not the day or the year.
Don’t bring your ugly thinking here.
Just stop the hurt that you’re hissing
And all the filth that you’re insisting.
It’s not the time or the place for what you’re preaching.

Do you ever feel
Love with conditions just isn’t real?
Have your friends been told that they pray to the wrong king?
Has it been said that you’re not trusted?
That your life don’t cut the mustard?
Well my friends, let’s stand together
Oh, and this is what we’ll sing.

Through all the years
We’ve seen a million tears.
They’ve all run dry
Down our jawbones and beards.
Through troubles and strife
We’ve turned our alright.
Oh, I’ve got a friend in you.

When all the roads
Have led to all the sea’s
And it feels like there’s
No more rivers left to see.
When storms fill our sails
And tree’s block our trails,
Oh, I’ve got a friend in you.

Amazing grace
How sweet it sounds?
To carry my load
Until new day in found.
For when we were lost
Adventure all around.
I’ve still got a friend in you.

Whatever you might think of me
I’m always here for you
No matter what you might believe

I want the best for you
Everyone needs a break from time to time
Something to give something to fall into line
Something to go your way

I hope it goes your way
A little luck a little faith a little help
I wish you everything you been wishing for yourself
Here’s to you
Fingers crossed

That two-dollar lotto ticket, just might be the key
Might be the answer to your prayers
Might not be all it’s cracked up to be

Take a good look around you every now and then
Make the time for your family and your friends
The ones who are there for you
Are always there for you

A little luck, A little faith a little help
I wish you everything you been wishing for yourself
Here’s to you
Fingers crossed

Don’t be too proud to reach out and take my hand
You’d only do the dame for me
You don’t have to face the big bad wolf on your own
You don’t have to be Hercules
A little luck, A little faith a little help
I wish you everything you been wishing for yourself
Here’s to you
Fingers crossed
Here’s to you
Fingers crossed

I’ll only let you down again
Like I did before
Treat you like a clown again
You don’t need this no more
You should know by now
Just what I am
You’ve heard it all before, the last time
I’ll only make you cry again
Like I did before
I’ll only tell you lies again
You shouldn’t take it no more
You should know by now
Just who I am

You’ve seen it all before, the last time

I’ll only make you smile again
Like I did before
Make it all worthwhile again
Then maybe more
You should know by now
Just what I am

I promised you before, the last time

You fall in love with me again
Like you did before
But when I’m not who you want me to be again
You won’t love me no more

If you don’t know by now, just who I am
You’ve heard it all before, you’ve seen it all before, we’ve done all this before, the last time

And I don’t think we should go through all this again

This girl in my mind
The girl of my dream
Cosmic girl, when you need it girl
Come and be my queen

One more good night, I can see it in your eyes,You can’t deny, that I’m on your good sideEverything I tried, is really panning out this time,Done with goodbye, yeah yeah

I know I can’t forget it,A cyclone in my headWhen I first saw you spinnin,I was in a craze

You sold me in a minute,Nah baby I ain’t kidding,
The closer that we’re getting,I’m more and more amazed,
Cause
When it gets late at night,And your love is on my mind,Your energy makes me wanna,Ooohh let looseI can’t be wasting time,Waiting for the sun to rise,Before we fade out tonight,Ooohh ooohh let loose
When it gets late at night,And your love is on my mind,Your energy makes me wanna,Ooohh let looseI can’t be wasting time,Waiting for the sun to rise,Before we fade out tonight,Ooohh ooohh let loose
Stay for another song,You know that I ain’t wrong,When I say we should move along together,
Say whatever you want,But it’s obvious we’re getting on,So I’ll say exactly what I want,

I wanna let loose
When it gets late at night,And your love is on my mind,Your energy makes me wanna,Ooohh let looseI can’t be wasting time,Waiting for the sun to rise,Before we fade out tonight,Ooohh ooohh let loose
When it gets late at night,And your love is on my mind,Your energy makes me wanna,Ooohh let looseI can’t be wasting time,Waiting for the sun to rise,Before we fade out tonight,Ooohh ooohh let loose
