Tekst :
Now i know you re safe here in my heartYou will always be with me
We ll never be apart
Never knew how strong my love could be
You re the one i ve waited for
Now you re home
I believe
Chorus
Love survives beyond our lives
I feel those ties growing stronger (growing stronger)
Love survives the tears we ve cried
Yes, love (yes, love)
Survives it all
Love survives it all
Even when we want to run and hide
Love comes in to pull us through
From deep inside
Oh, the magic (the magic)
Has made us who we are (who we are)
Don t you see we ve come so far?
Take my hand
You made me understand
Chorus
Love survives it all
Chorus
Love survives it all
Tekst :
You tell me that there s love here.But to me it s blatant.
Nothin but all the blood here.
I m dealin with Satan.
Plus with all the hatin
it s hard to keep peace. (uh huh)
Thou shall not steal,
but I will to eat.
I tried doin good, but
good s not too good for me.
Misunderstood,
why you chose the hood for me.
Mean I m aiight,
I just had to work hard at it.
Went to gran ma for answers,
she told me that god had it.
So now here I am,
confused and full of questions.
Am I born to lose,
or is this just a lesson.
And who it s goin choose
when it gets turned around.
And will it be
layin in my own blood
and on the ground.
My child,
I ve watched you grow up
and I ve been there. (uh huh)
Even at those times
you least suspected it
I was there.
And look at what I ve given you
a talent to rhyme.
I may not come when you call,
but I m always on time.
Somebody s knockin .
Should I let em in.
Lord we re just startin,
but where will it end.
Somebody s knockin .
Should I let em in.
Lord we re just startin,
but where will it end.
But when the funds are low
the guns ll blow.
Lookin for that one that owe,
make em run that dough.
No!
Put down the guns
and write a new rhyme.
You ll get it all in due time.
You ll do fine.
Just have faith
cuz you mine. (uh huh)
And when you shine
it s goin be a sight to behold.
So don t fight to be old,
or lose sight when it s cold.
See that light down the road,
it s goin guide you there
Two sets of footsteps,
I was right beside you there.
But what about them times I
only saw one.
Those were the times that I was
under the gun,
It was then I carried you my son.
Led you to safety.
It just wasn t your time to face me. (uh huh)
Ayo a few of them times I thought you would erase me.
But all you did was embrace me.
Prepared me for the worst.
Offered me eternal light,
and scared me with the hearse.
And the curse
turned to grace.
When the hurt
turned to faith.
No more runnin , (uh huh)
and slidin in the dirt
cuz I m safe.
Somebody s knockin .
Should I let em in.
Lord we re just startin,
but where will it end.
Somebody s knockin .
Should I let em in.
So if I m yo man
I m in yo hand.
Wus yo plan.
Never had a friend
cuz you couldn t trust your man.
Learned to stand before I crawled.
Things were twisted!
And if you showed me anything at all
then I missed it.
Looked the wrong way. (uh huh)
I ve done some wrong things. (true)
Kept a bad attitude,
but that s what wrong brings.
And now you mean to tell me that
after all this time,
it was you that kept the dog from goin out of his mind.
It was you that breathed life
into my lungs when I was born.
And it was you that let me know
what was right,
from what was wrong.
And it was you that let me do
what I knew what could be done.
And it was you that gave me a good wife
and a beautiful son.
And It s been you speakin to me
inside my mind.
And it s been you who has forgiven
time after time.
It was you who opened my eyes
so I could see.
And it was you who shined yo
light on me.
Tekst :
(I still have the shake in my voiceAnd I m going to sing you this song)
I don t know you from Adam, it could make my day
If you leave me a message I ll give it away
Cause the most perfect strangers that you can talk to
Are the ones who pretend that you re not really you
Are with any attempts here to play Frankenstein
Come with plenty of chances for changing your mind
When you re building your own creation
Nothing s better than real than a real
Imitation
I won t find it fantastic or think it absurd
When the gun in the first act goes off in the third
Cause it s rare that you ever know what to expect
From a guy made of corpses with bolts in his neck
If the creature is limping the parts are in place
With a mind of its own and a fist for a face
Say hello to your new creation
Now it s better than real
It s a real imitation
You may wonder what the catch is
As we batten down the hatches
And when later we find that the thing we devised
Has the villagers clamouring for it s demise
We will have to admit the futility of
Trying to make something more of this jerry-built love
And you ll notice it bears a resemblance to
Everything I imagined I wanted from you
But at least it s my own creation
And it s better than real
It s a real imitation
