Country Child - Robert Finley

How many mountains must you face Before you learn to climb? I'm gonna give you what it takes My universal child I'm gonna try to find a way To keep you safe from harm I'm gonna build a special place A shelter from the storm And I can see you, you're everywhere Your portrait fills the sky I'm gonna wrap my arms 'round you My universal child And when I look into your eyes So innocent and pure I see the shadows of the things That you've had to endure I see the tracks of every tear That ran right down your face I see the hurt, I see the pain I see the human race And I can feel you, you're everywhere Shining like the sun I wish to God that kids like you Could be like everyone How many tumbles must it take Before you learn to fly? I'm gonna help you spread your wings My universal child I'm gonna help you find a way To keep you safe from harm We're gonna build a special place A shelter from the storm I can feel you, you're everywhere Shining like the sun I wish to God that kids like you Could be like everyone And I wish to God that kids like you Could be like everyone

Boy of mine As your fortune comes to carry you down the line And you watch as the changes unfold And you sort among the stories you've been told If some pieces of the picture are hard to find And the answers to your questions are hard to hold Take good care of your mother When you're making up your mind Should one thing or another take you from behind Though the world may make you hard and wild And determine how your life is styled When you've come to feel that you're the only child Take good care of your brother Let the disappointments pass Let the laughter fill your glass Let your illusions last until they shatter Whatever you might hope to find Among the thoughts that crowd your mind There won't be many that ever really matter But take good care of your mother And remember to be kind When the pain of another will serve you to remind That there are those who feel themselves exiled On whom the fortune never smiled And upon whose life the heartache has been piled They're just looking for another Lonely child And when you've found another soul Who sees into your own Take good care of each other

As I was slowly passing An orphan's home today I stopped for just a little while To watch the children play Alone a boy was standing And when I asked him why He turned with eyes that could not see And he began to cry I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child Just like a flower I'm growing wild No momma's arms to hold me No daddy's smiles Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child In every town and village There are places just like this With rows and rows of children Babies in their cribs They've long since stopped their crying As no one ever hears And no one's there to notice them Or take away the fears Nobody's child Nobody's child Just like a flower They're growing wild Got no mommy's kisses And no daddy's smiles Nobody wants them They're nobody's child Nobody's child They're nobody's child Just like a flower They're growing wild No mommy's kisses And no daddy's smiles Nobody wants them They're nobody's child Nobody wants them They're nobody's child

White leather Mongoose Any weather Turn it loose Monkey From the suburbs Catchy catchy Left my car Slowly slowly At the bar Softly softly Healthy Broadcast Through the trees And the breeze With a ninja Subaru Faith love and charity No Glenn hoddle No supermodel No Dennis wise With his home and away eyes No David vine No John Virgo You love green peace I love green peace I love green pea Butter bean And broad bean Black-eye beans And kidney beans Mung beans An runner bean Be courageous Go to Barbados You believe me Then you leave me Me myself We ourselves Green white and gold Red white and blue Red gold and green Get protected Then get connected Broadcast Ghetto blast Dig it all Digital Dig it all Digital Birkenstocks And Reeboks You do de-tox You do re-tox You don't get no orthodox So I'll feed you If you're ill Keep it clean And serene Train you Make you faster Make you able Run your label Or your station Or your money Or your life Broadcast

Written by F. Quaye and A. Propfh Forgiving and forgetting is best Tried to forgive but I could not forget And I found myself Falling For you again Feel like I've been down this lonely track before It's like a little deja vu but a little bit more Falling For you again Where was I when you say bye bye? Hold up my heart who say man don't cry? Because I became close today Sister you got me falling Mmm all over your feet These wandering emotions got me Falling For you again Tried to hold back but I could only hold on To a feeling we both know should be long gone Sister you got me falling Mmm all over your feet These wandering emotions got me Falling For you again Solitude Solitude setting Solitude Solitude setting Solitude
