I don't wanna write this down I wanna tell you how I feel right now I don't wanna take no time to write this down I wanna tell you how I feel right now How I feel right now, yeah, hmm, hey Tomorrow may never come For you or me, life is not promised (Promised) Tomorrow may never show up For you or me, this life is not promised (Promised) I ain't no perfect man I'm tryin' to do the best that I can With what it is I have I ain't no perfect man I'm tryin' to do, the best that I can With what it is I have Put my heart and my soul into this song, you feel me? From where I am, to wherever you are, I mean that sincerely, yeah To see my people not shine I swear that it kills me, if you got a light, gotta be bright Remember the times they tried to conceal me, yeah Tomorrow may never come For you or me, this life is not promised (Promised) Tomorrow may never appear You better hold this very moment (Moment) Very close to you right now (Very close to you, very close to you) (Close to you) Don't be afraid, afraid to shine Afraid to shine, shine, afraid to shine Afraid to shine, shine, afraid to shine My Umi said, "Shine your light on the world" Shine your light for the world to see My Abi said, "Shine your light on the world" Shine your light for the world to see I want black people to be free, to be free, to be free (My Umi said, "Shine your light on the world") I want black people to be free, to be free, to be free (Shine your light for the world to see) I want my people to be free, to be free, to be free (My Abi said, "Shine your light on the world") I want black people to be free, to be free, to be free (Shine your light for the world to see) (Shine your light for the world to see) (My Abi said, "Shine your light on the world") (Shine your light for the world to see) Sometimes I get discouraged I look around and things are weak I know this world produce some evils But won't let my heart skip a beat Sometimes I just wanna fly away Skip the stress for brighter days I turn my every day into a holiday Turn Sundays into Fathers Day I never wanna jump in the water (Water) There's something going on outside These people that's running in the world Enough money and loads of pride I'm sayin', just open your eyes It's all right in front of you, see? When my daughter grow up and hear this song The message just be what you wanna be Be the change that you really wanna see I just hope and believe for that Jump through hoops and achieve for that Pick up my sword and probably bleed for that That's all that matters to me That's all that matters to me That's all that matters to me That's all that matters to me That's all that matters to me That's all that matters to me That's all that matters to me

I'm looking for a god, one that I believe in The stories that he tells divine I'm looking for a god, help me find peace of mind A worthy resolution mankind When did I stop waiting for you? Hummingbird, come back Speak to the one who has failed you Before love itself is gone too Hummingbird, come back Speak to the one who loves Let's gather up our hearts and go Nothing like the song from my radio box We tried to make the best of our lives We get used to what we have then we don't want it any more There's nothing in our stomachs but wine Hummingbird, come back Speak to the one who has failed you Before love itself is gone too Hummingbird, come back Speak to the one who loves Let's gather up our hearts and go One day I will leave without turning back I will resist the cold, resist the wind I will walk à pas lents And that today will make me become someone else I will be someone else Another world is possible Another world is possible Another world is possible Hummingbird, come back Speak to the one who has failed you Before love itself is gone too Hummingbird, come back Speak to the one who loves Let's gather up our hearts and go

Sleep is impossible And the fake drugs they don't help They say you shouldn't keep emotions to yourself I spend the whole day thinking about you And when you kissed me I stayed kissed Oh what I would give you to remember this Maybe I could drive to London Be back before the morning I called so many times If only you'd listen Failing more and more each day And tripping out on my headaches I lost control of my everythingness I need air I need to work things out I need air I need to figure my shit out Sleep was impossible It's a lost art to lead a beautiful life When can we look at the skies again There's no time Maybe I could drive to London Be back before the morning I called so many times If only you'd listen Failing more and more each day And tripping out on my headaches I lost control of my everythingness I need air I need to work things out I need air I need to figure my shit out Sleep was impossible Sleep was impossible Sleep was impossible Sleep was impossible Sleep was impossible Sleep was impossible Sleep was impossible Sleep was impossible

The night in my bed of dark The chain hanging on my throat If Jesus isn't there What's the cross that is his home? He beat his drum Like he did at feasts I sang we danced on water There was quiet and we were full of peace We howled truth like the first Prophet of joy who dared to say no sin When it gets cold we'll take a moment And head for California I am the lord's mistake I am the lord's mistake I am the lord's mistake I am the lord's mistake The wind was drunk There's a cold wet sun I had to ask I'd loved so long To hear you singing out A place I cannot touch Mixture of poison and treacle I walk towards you with a nervous smile We howled truth like the first Prophet of joy who dared to say no sin When it gets cold we'll take a moment And head for California I am the lord's mistake I am the lord's mistake I am the lord's mistake I am the lord's mistake I'm not your only lover I'm not your favourite lover I'm not your candy girl And I'm not your sinner I'm not your only lover I'm not your favourite lover I'm not your candy girl I am the lord's mistake I am the lord's mistake I am the lord's mistake I am the lord's mistake I am the lord's mistake I am the lord's mistake I am the lord's mistake I am the lord's mistake I am the lord's mistake I am the lord's mistake

Not much of a morning Looking out on the beech trees You were always the best thing I did some sketches Falling forward to the earth again Rush of gold to the head It'll do me good to see you again I'm cut off from the moon and stars and... Chad, you dance like a robot Chad, you're moving at the speed of light Chad, spinning like a satellite Chad, meet me at the disco lights Sleep late in the morning Will my name be spoken? Never going to be beautiful Til I've been broken Won't let the music make me sad again I'll keep my head in the clouds I'll meet you later at the picture house Hold out I'll get to you somehow Chad, you dance like a robot Chad, you're moving at the speed of light Chad, spinning like a satellite Chad, meet me at the disco lights
