I must have been a fool
I must have broke some rule
Now I'm losin' you to the wind
So I'm all alone with my yesterday once again
I'm back to the bottom line
Sometimes love can make or break you
Can build you up or shake you down
If it's real you don't need to fake it
If it's not, no need to hang around
If you're with me for a reason
The time has come to let me know
'Cause it seems your heart is freezin'
But you still don't wanna let me go
I must have been a fool
I must have broke some rule
Now I'm losin' you to the wind
So I'm all alone with my yesterday once again
I'm back to the bottom line
And you say
"No more rainy days, go your way"
And then you send me mine
Too much too soon
Was I too out of tune with your plans?
I must have been a fool
I must have broke some rule
Now I'm losin' you to the wind
So I'm all alone with my yesterday once again
I'm back to the bottom line
You've got the love, you've got the power
But you just don't understand
Girl, you've been chargin' by the hour
For your love
I've tried to show you how much I love you
Still believin' in romance
You've been takin' too many chances
With my love
I remember when you used to be
The talk of the town
All you get is lonely
Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around
Without the woman I can make it
But I need the girl to stay
Oh, don't you let the lady take it
All away
When the woman needs a taste of yesterday
And he stays at home
All they get is lonely
Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around
Girl, you know me, I'm alone until you show me
That you're still in love with me
We're gonna make it, we're gonna take it
Back where we belong
Turn your love around
I remember when you used to be
The talk of the town
All you get is lonely
Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around
It's time the girl became a woman
Every woman needs a man
You're in love with the girl
You're in love with the woman
Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around
Just to be loved by you
Is like havin' all my
Sweetest dreams comin' true
You showed me something I'd never seen
You made me something I'd never been
Before, never before
I was always the one who would never
Give anything away
If all you're feelin' is cool there's not much to say
But when the silence got too loud for me to bear
You brought me love and taught me how to care
When I look into your eyes you take me there
Just to be loved by you
Is like havin' all my
Sweetest dreams comin' true
You showed me something I'd never seen
You made me something I'd never been
Before, never before
Pass it on, when you use it it's never gone
'Cause when you have it
It's only love
Just to be loved by you
Is like havin' all my
Sweetest dreams comin' true
You showed me something I'd never seen
You made me something I'd never been
Before, never before
Suddenly some old familiar music
Songs I know I've never before
I gotta play along, I can't refuse it
I hear the call
And if you've got a heart
Gotta start it up again
We've all been so proud of our blindness
No kindness to share
We need to sing out loud
For the love, for the light, for what's fair
All together, we can make it better
We can make it right
We hide behind the veil of our own success
While we're following the rules
Our eyes refuse to see past our little plans
To the never changing truth
Freedom needs to speak a little louder
Justice needs to try her other arm
Some of us could push a little harder
To sound the alarm
And I see children marching
And I hear the drums again
We've all been so proud of our blindness
No kindness to share
We need to sing out loud
For the love, for the light, for what's fair
All together, we can make it better
We can make it right
For the dream of love will come
Give it half a chance
Everyone understand
In our hearts and our minds
You know there's nothin' left to hide
We're already there
We've all been so proud of our blindness
No kindness to share
We need to sing out loud
For the love, for the light, for what's fair
All together, we can make it better
We can make it right
Watchin' you turn away from the pain
In a wave of excuses
We were hopin' you'd come in
Out of the rain, overdue for a miracle
If you know what you want
You gotta get what you need
It's got nothing' to do with your sins
There's a place in the sun
Where you don't have to bleed
And you don't have to be what you've been
Come on in
You took credit for things you didn't do
And we were buyin' your story
You never guessed that you were
Trading the truth
Just to bask in the glory
Watchin' you bend the rules of your life
In a wave of excuses
We were hopin' you'd know
The wrong from the right overdue for a miracle
If you know what you want
You gotta get what you need
It's got nothing' to do with your sins
There's a place in the sun
Where you don't have to bleed
And you don't have to be what you've been
Come on in
You can be loved for who you are
Or you can be lonely
It's never too late for you to start
One glimpse of the truth can go so far
Watchin' you turn away from the pain
In a wave of excuses
We were hopin' you'd come in
Out of the rain, overdue for a miracle
You can make it, you can shake it
You can take it where you know you wanna be
You can make it, you can shake it
You can set yourself free
If you know what you want
You gotta get what you need
It's got nothing' to do with your sins
There's a place in the sun
Where you don't have to bleed
And you don't have to be what you've been
Come on in
It's raining, it's pouring, the ratings are soaring
We never look beyond the book
The preachers keep on scoring
The raindrops are falling
We've all just been crawling
Hear the proof
Upon the roof
The rhythm keeps on calling
"You must believe me" God said on TV
To send me more of your cash
The network sold me, the sponsor told me
"I need a much bigger stash"
Your key to living is in your giving
Everything you can spare
The more the guilty feel low and filthy
The more I spray on my hair
"You must believe me" God said on TV
To send me more of your cash
The network sold me, the sponsor told me
"I need a much bigger stash"
Cough up your savings, buy me some time
I need the ratings soul saving will buy
The pricetag for teaching is reaching so high
I start with your feelings and turn up the mikes
Then I sell you healing in ten second bytes
This passes for yearning and learning the truth
So open your windows
And turn off the tube
Believe in the sound of the rain
The rhythm is always the same
You've got to know that your heart beats
In time with your faith
Believe in the sound of the rain
We will promise salvation, we'll outlaw the dark
We've reached saturation but we must build the park
These people are living so high off our shame
Just look past the glitter
And see through the game
Believe in the sound of the rain
The rhythm is always the same
You've got to know that your heart beats
In perfect time with your faith
Believe it or not you can have what you got
'Cause freedom comes down with the rain
Believe in the sound of the rain
And don't be a pawn in the game
'Cause there've been so many cheated
In Jesus' name
They're tearin' it down
Believe in the sound of the rain
And you'll be the light for your flame
You've got the keys to the kingdom
Right there on your chain
The lost can be found
Believe in the sound of the rain
The rhythm is always the same
You've got to know that your heart beats
In time with your faith
Believe it or not you can have what you got
'Cause freedom comes down
With the rain
I know how you're feelin'
I know where you've been
You can't run away from the past
It's so hard to accept
Your love just wasn't destined to last -- this time
So get up and get down
True love's still around
You must try to hold onto someone
Through it all
And baby I got a shoulder to cry on
Through it all
You won't fall in love
You've had enough
Not again there's no way in the world
That you'll ever bend to the wind
You're bound and determined to go it alone
You're cornered, your back's to the wall
I've seen it, I've been there
You've got someone to share it all with you
So get up and get down
You're welcome to share it with me
You must try to hold onto someone
Through it all
And baby I got a shoulder to cry on
You may fall in love
I'll see you through it all
Maybe someday you'll fall
Can I have this dance?
Take a chance, take a chance, let it go
Get up and get down, true love's still around
You must try to hold onto someone
Through it all
And baby I got a shoulder to cry on
Through it all
In the heat of the night
Got me some troubles wall to wall
I repeat in the heat of the night
There must be an ending to it all
Just hold on, and it won't be long
Just be strong, and it'll be alright
There ain't a woman yet been born
Who could make the mornin' come
It's so hard to keep control
When I could sell my soul
For just a little light
There ain't a woman yet been born
Who could make the mornin' come
It's so hard to keep control
When I could sell my soul
For just a little light
In the heat of the night
Got me some troubles wall to wall
I repeat in the heat of the night
There must be an ending to it all
Just hold on, and it won't be long
Just be strong, and it'll be alright
She just got out of senior class (new page)
She's lookin' for an open door
The little lady wants a pass (backstage)
To shake a hand, to meet the band
She wants to feel the rock and roll (spotlight)
She thinks she wants to taste it all
And maybe she can steal the show (tonight)
And then they're gone, she's all alone
Little sister, little sister
You've got the power in your hand
Little sister, little sister
Stay away from the band
You know she's read the stories (cheap press)
She's dog-eared every magazine
Of rock and roll and glory (success)
The kinky scenes, the groupie queens
She wants in on the action (tonight)
She wants a little piece of me
But it's just a false attraction (short sight)
She'll never know, we gotta go
Little sister, little sister
You've got the power in your hand
Little sister, little sister
Stay away from the band
You won't get next to me
Don't you let her in
Don't you let her get next to me
Don't you let her in
Litle sister's lookin' for romance
You don't wanna have to make a decision
Little sister don't you take a chance
You don't need what you see
Turn around, walk away
Little sister, little sister
You've got the power in your hand
Little sister, little sister
Stay away from the band
Follow your leaders wherever they go
Sing their songs of praise
So many willing to help them fan the flames
Silence the teachers, imprison the wise
Arm all your children and close all their eyes
Plaster your picture all over town
Kidnap some hostages, burn a few flags
Make the evening news
Tell everybody the God has chosen you
Light up the candles, load all your guns
Unleash your passion and let it be done
Fight for one book
And make everyone read every page
Light up the candles, load all your guns
Call on your anger and blame everyone
Everyone's changin'
While everything's stayin' the same
How many times do we need to be used
Before we all stand up and simply refuse
We've got the power to make a change
History shows the mistakes that we've made
Time and time again
Why should we die
Because you refuse to bend?
Light up the candles, load all your guns
Unleash your passion and let it be done
Fight for one book
And make everyone read every page
Light up the candles, load all your guns
Call on your anger and blame everyone
Everyone's changin'
While everything's stayin' the same
Heaven knows the differences between us
Are there for colors and rhyme
But there we go, marchin' off to prove that
"You're wrong and I'm always right"
Light up the candles, put down your guns
Love doesn't happen until it's begun
Change what you can
And let everyone do what they will
Light up the candles, put down your guns
Love doesn't happen until it's begun
God didn't put anybody on earth
To be killed
Light up the candles, put down your guns
Love doesn't happen until it's begun
Hold on to life
And let love make you follow its will
