Never thought that I'd find That the one in my life would be so near And now you're here I got you, you got me When it's us, babe, you make me feel complete You're all I need Ooh, ooh-ooh Maybe we could try it if you let me Take you by the hand You're the only one who understands So I guess that it's time I asked you to be mine for all my days I hope you'll stay I'll admit that I'm scared 'Cause I've never really cared as much as this It's worth the risk Ooh, ooh-ooh Maybe we could try it if you let me Take you by the hand You're the only one who understands Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Maybe we could try it if you let me Take you by the hand You're the only one who understands

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
