MAMA SAID

  1. FIELDS OF JOY

Let's wander slowly through the fields
Slowly slowly through the fields
I touch the leaves that touch the sky
Just you and I through fields of joy
All trouble slowly fades away
Slowly slowly fades away
I hold your hand inside my hand
Across the land through fields of yoy
The sound of music that we hear
The blend of colors in the air
All cities, mountains disappear from view
All truth and beauty near to me and you
With you through the fields,With you through the fields
The fields of joy

Let's wander slowly trough the fields
Slowly slowly through the fields
I know our love will never die
Just you and I
Trough fields of joy
Trough fields of joy.

  2. ALWAYS ON THE RUN

My mama said
That your life is a gift
And my mama said
There's much weight you will lift
And my mama said
Leave those bad boys alone
And my mama said
Be home before the dawn
And my mama said
You can be rich or poor
but my mama said
You can be big or small

But I'm always on the run

My mama said
That it's good to be fruitful
But my mama said
Don't take more than a mouthful
And my mama said
That it's good to be natural
And my mama said
That it's good to be factual

But I'm always on the run

My mama said
Baby don't ride that crazy horse
And my mama said
You must push with much force
And my mama said
Go get all that you're after
And my mama said
That love's all that matters

But I'm always on the run.

  3. STAND BY MY WOMAN

There were times I wasn't kind
And there were times I wasn't even around
And there were times I made you cry
So many times I had to say good-bye
When you want to talk
I'm on the phone
But now baby I am here for you alone

I'm gonna stand by my woman now
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home

There were times I didn't understand
And there were times I wouldn't hold your hand
But baby now I'm here for you
'Cause baby I am so in love with you

I'm gonna stand by my woman now
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home

I'm gonna stand by my woman now
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home

I'm gonna stand by my woman now
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home
Stand by my woman now
I'm gonna stand by my woman now

'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home
Without a home.

  4. IT AIN'T OVER 'TIL IT'S OVER

Here we are still together
We are one
So much time wasted
Playing games with love

So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
To keep our love alive
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over

How many times
Did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fears
Kept me wondering
If I'd always be in love

So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over

So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over

So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain't over 'til it's over

So mny years we've tried
And kept our love alive
Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over

(repeat).

  5. MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD

More than anything in this world
I just want you to be my woman
More than anything in this world
I wanna be your man
I'd walk through fire
Stand in the rain
I'll got to hell and back
On a plane
I'd scale the mountains
Swim the seas
I beg for mercy
Down on my knees

More than anything in this world
I just want you to be my woman
More than anything in this world
I wanna be your man

I caused you sorrow
I've caused you pain
But love is all we will have to gain
I searched the whole world, oh I
And I want you to be my baby

More than anything in this world
I just want you to be my woman
More than anything in this world
I wanna be your man.

  6. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

My pockets were full now my money's gone
My friends come around and now they're gone
Things come and they come and then they go
And where they go nobody knows

It's gonna come around
What goes around comes around
I'ts gonna come around
What goes around comes around

My cup over runneth with fullness and grace
Yet people push bullshit in my face
The future can't hold what your money can't buy
My brother keep striving your child relies

It's gonna come around
What goes around comes around
It's gonna come around
What goes around comes around

This world keeps on spinning does the future know?
We're destined to screw ourselves one blow
We've ruined what's pure down from nature below
You'd better look back it'll all be gone

It's gonna come around
What goes around comes around
It's gonna come around
What goes around comes around

So children please listen this world is yours
This message is too deep to ignore
Your forefathers said but they did not do
The things that would show that they cared for you

It's gonna come around
What goes around comes around
It's gonna come around
What goes around comes around
Comes around comes around comes around
Comes around comes around comes around
Comes around comes around comes around
Comes around yeah

Gonna take you giher
I'm gonna take you gihger
I'm gonna take you higher
Yeah yeah yeah

I'm gonna take you higher
Gonna take you higher
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Gonna take you higher higher
Higher higher higher higher
Gonna take you higher
Gonna take you higher.

  7. THE DIFFERENCE IS WHY

I'm just a human
I never said I was God
And each day I wonder where you are
How could our lives once be so together?
Now we're apart
I know we can make it
But where do we sart?
Sometimes the scales get unbalanced
Don't you know the reason why?

The difference is why
The difference is why

You say you can't trust me
Have you tried?
You say you don't love me
That's a lie
There are so many so many rainbows
That we were to climb
But baby baby why can't we survive
We've got to get our heads untangled
And free our state of mind

The difference is why
The difference is why

Sometimes the scales get unbalanced
Don't you know the reason why?

The difference is why
The differnce is why
Does this have to mean goodbye?

  8. STOP DRAGGIN' AROUND

Thinking positivity
If you wanna be with me
I'll take you to the promised land
Come on baby take my hand

Stop draggin' around

Higher and higher and higher we get
I'll freak you like a sex-o-lette
You say you wanna be my wife?
I'll take you to another life, come on

Stop draggin' around

Come on baby take my hand
I'll take you the promised land

Stop draggin' around.

  9. FLOWERS FOR ZOË

Flowers for Zoë
Love for Zoë
Angels and rainbows
All kinds of things you can call your own

Gardens for Zoë
And oceans for Zoë
Jungle gym playgrounds
All kinds of things for you to explore

Flowers for Zoë
And love for Zoë
Angels and rainbows
All kinds of things you can call your own

God is for Zoë
And heaven's for Zoë
Oh can you believe
That everything is waiting to unfold?

You can call your own
You can call your own
You can call your own.

10. FIELDS OF JOY  (Reprise)

Let's wander slowly through the fields
Slowly slowly through the fields
I touch the leaves that touch the sky
Just you and I through fields of joy
All trouble slowly fades away
Slowly slowly fades away
I hold your hand inside my hand
Across the land through fields of yoy
The sound of music that we hear
The blend of colors in the air
All cities, mountains disappear from view
All truth and beauty near to me and you
With you through the fields,With you through the fields
The fields of joy

Let's wander slowly trough the fields
Slowly slowly through the fields
I know our love will never die
Just you and I
Trough fields of joy
Trough fields of joy.

11. ALL I EVER WANTED

Baby can't keep on running
All I want you to do is to feel with me yeah
We both are hurting
And it's gonna take a little time
To heal all the wounds and save our family

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted was love

Remember kissing in the moonlight
How we held each other all night
All I ever wanted was love

Darling darling darling
Don't you want to feel good inside?
It seems I've forgotten how it feels to be
Look up to the stars
And ask the heavens
To show you the truth
So that you can be free

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted was love

Remember kissing in the moonlight?
How we held each other all night
All I ever wanted was love

Tell me what's the answer?
It's gotten so cloudy I just can't see
But you got your life and I got mine
Are we even?
When I know I want you
And baby you want me
All I ever wanted

All I ever needed
All I ever wanted was love

Remeber kissing in the moonlight?
How we held each other all night
All I ever wanted was love.

12. WHEN THE MORNING TURNS TO NIGHT

Little girl with heroin so blue
You've got to find the future in you
Your scepters and needles will put you away
Forever and a day
Your future will haunt you before you get there
Imagine the planet with no air
All mute no light no sun only night
As far away as neverland

As the sky coes tumbling down to the head
And the valleys are all filled up with dirt
As many people as there are sands in the sea
Will die the morning after

So little girl with heroin so blue
I guess our future is all up to you
Through the battle sequence you must fight
'Til the morning turns to night

So imagine ourw orld with no air
Just follow the Son, he'll take you where
The night and the seas are all full of light
'Til the morning turns to night

'Til the morning turns to night.

13. WHAT THE .... ARE WE SAYING?

Will we ever understand?
Or is the fate of man at hand?
Will we live or shall we die?
How will we ever know if we never try?
The government's the devil's hands
It's a lie and it's a scam
They wind us up, put us down, and watch us go
And if you close your eyes
There's a big surprise

What the fuck are we saying?
Do we feel what we dream about?
We've got to keep on praying
And one day we'll see the light

I've been lost in the name of love
And we kill our brothers daily in the name of God
We'd better chill before we take on some tribulatin
And if we realized
Then we'd make a little love now sing

What the fuck are we saying?
Do we believe what we read about?
We've got to keep on praying
And one day we'll see the light

What the fuck are we saying?
Do we feel what we dream about?
We've got to keep on praying
And one day we'll see the light.

14. BUTTERFLY

You are the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen
You shine just like sunlight rays
On a winter snow
I just had to tell you so

Your eyes sparkle as the stars
Like the moon they glow
Your smile could light the world on fire
Or did you know?

Your mind's full of everything that
I want to know
I just had to let you know
I just had to tell you so
You're my butterfly
Fly high
Fly fly fly.
