Comfort Me - Sharon Leal, Anika Noni Rose & Beyoncé

Wake me my lady don't let me sleep Open my eyes to the wonders you keep Let me look at you see how you shine I'll fall in love like I've done every time Lay me in soft green grass Down where the river runs Under the mountain caps Gold with the setting sun Walk me along the bay Beyond the verdant trees Carry me with your grace Forever comfort me You walk on water searching the east The souls of the masses pass at your feet Looking up at you with tears in their eyes Fathers of fathers of fathers gone by Walk me down old main streets Ride me down rusty rails Fields full of summer wheat Peppered with rounded bales Steeples where church bells ring Lighthouses by the sea Reach out through gathered storms Faithfully comfort me I am your tired I am your poor in spirit Yearning to breathe, breathe free Breathe free Lay me in soft green grass Down where the river runs Under the mountain caps Gold with the setting sun Walk me along the bay Beyond the verdant trees Carry me with your grace Forever comfort me Walk me down old main streets Ride me down rusty rails Fields full of summer wheat Peppered with rounded bales Steeples where church bells ring Lighthouses by the sea Reach out through gathered storms Faithfully comfort me Hey ... Comfort me ... Comfort Me Comfort me ... Comfort Me

My soul My soul My soul My soul My soul is a weary and beaten down from all of my misery Said lord, lord, lord who will comfort me My soul is a weary and beaten down from all of my misery Said lord who will comfort me (Scat) Got a hold on my heart that keeps me bound When the whole wide world is free Said lord who will comfort me Got a hold on my heart that keeps me bound When the whole wide world is free Said lord who will comfort me (Scat) My home is a wreckage A family drowned in flight and poverty Said lord, lord, lord who will comfort me My home is a wreckage A family drowned in flight and poverty Said lord, lord who will comfort me Oh said lord, lord who will comfort me Said lord, lord, lord, lord, lord, lord, lord Oh lord,(oh lord) oh lord,(oh lord) Oh lord,(oh lord) eh lord,(eh lord) eh lord, lord, lord, lord Eh lord,(eh lord) eh lord,(eh lord) Oh lord, lord, lord, lord

In the South Land, there's a city Way down on the river, where the women are very pretty And all the men deliver They got music, it's always playin' Start in the daytime, go all through the night And when you hear that music playin' Hear what I'm saying and make it feel alright Grab somebody, come on down Bring your paintbrush, we're painting the town There's some sweetness going around Dreams do come true in New Orleans

If I were a human being I'd head straight for New Orleans And I'd blow this horn so hot and strong Like no one they've ever seen You've heard of Louis Armstrong Mr. Sidney Bechet All those boys gonna step aside When they hear this old ex-gator play, listen When I'm human As I hope to be I'm gonna blow this horn 'Til the cows come home And everyone's gonna bow down to me Thank you, thank you Mwah, mwah, aw, thank you I love you too, baby When I'm myself again I want just the life I had A great big party every night That doesn't sound too bad A redhead on my left arm A brunette on my right A blonde or two to hold the candles Now that seems just about right Eh, Louis? Life is short When you're done, you're done We're on this earth To have some fun And that's the way things are When I'm human And I'm gonna be I'm gonna tear it up like I did before And that's the royal guarantee Your modesty becomes you And your sense of responsibility I've worked hard for everything I've got And that's the way it's supposed to be When I'm a human being At least I'll act like one If you do your best each and every day Good things are sure to come your way What you give is what you get My daddy said that And I'll never forget And I'll recommend it to you When we're human And we're gonna be I'm gonna blow my horn I'm gonna live the high life I'm gonna do my best To take my place in the sun When we're human

The evening star is shining bright So make a wish and hold on tight There's magic in the air tonight And anything can happen
