I can smile again
03:54
|
|||
It’s been a time when the sorrow seemed to be my middle name
No sun to shine, no tomorrow, troubles all around my life of shame
But in the night, I’ve found a frail trembling flame; I can smile again.
Clouds in my skies, pain, nothing smart, every day, I’ve had to live
Tears in my eyes, despair in my heart, and nothing, nothing to give
But in the storm, I have learned to believe: I can smile again
Daughter is gone, a little life loaned, leaving a void in my soul
My vow was done, just to stay alone, till this body of mine gets cold
Then I’ve found a place where we’ll never, never grow old: I can smile again
I've been in the storm so long; here comes the time to sing a brand new song
And I know that you’ll help me to sing my song
There’s a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole
There’s a balm in Gilead to heal the sin sick soul
I’m so thankful, I’m so thankful, I’m so thankful, I can smile again
I can live again, I can live again, I can live again, again
I CAN SMILE AGAIN

If you look into my eyes

It’s time to see how rich this world could be if each of our deads is made of love
All that I need comes from above
And this reach a furious sopeed
Lord help me to be a turtle dove
Try to realize how much it can be wise to touch the real meaning of a soul
We are the children of the universe; we all have a burden in this living verse
IF YOU LOOK INTO MY EYES, THROUGH MY HELLS AND MY SKIES
YOU WILL KNOW HOW MUCH I’M BEAUTIFUL, I’M BEAUTIFUL, I’M BEAUTIFUL
How does it seem out of reach to stay on the beam of what the masters teach;
The way of true life is in love
WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE UNIVERSE, WE ALL HAVE A BURDEN IN THIS LIVING VERSE
IF YOU LOOK INTO MY EYES, THROUGH MY HELLS AND MY SKIES
YOU WILL KNOW HOW MUCH I’M BEAUTIFUL, I’M BEAUTIFUL, I’M BEAUTIFUL
IF YOU DIP INTO MY EYES, THROUGH MY VERITIES AND LIES
YOU WILL KNOW HOW MUCH I’M WONDERFUL, I’M WONDERFUL, I’M WONDERFUL,
Oh yes, O-O-O YES
You will see another world
You will say words to be heard
I want to hear words of wisdom, let me hear words of love
Please let me hear words of freedom, but you don’t want to hear words of peace, WORDS OF FAITH.
IF YOU READ INTO MY HEART, FROM THE END TO THE START
YOU WILL KNOW HOW MUCH I’M GRACEFUL, I’M GRACEFUL, I’M GRACEFUL
IF YOU LOOK INTO MY EYES, IF YOU READ INTO THE HEART, IF YOU DIP INTO MY EYES,
YOU WILL KNOW HOW MUCH I’M BEAUTIFUL, I’M GRACEFUL,
LOOK INTO MY EYES
Then you’ll say:
I LOVE YA, I LOVE YA, I LOVE YA…
YOU WILL KNOW HOW MUCH I’M BEAUTIFUL , I’M GRACEFUL, I’M WONDERFUL
Just like you.

Lord's Messenger
05:20
|
|||
Friends are made to fly / When you're down and when you cry
Some friends are made to hold / When your world is dark and cold
How could I stop the birds when they hear the leaves rustling ?
When they see the branches falling ?
Everyone has a part to play / So let the birds fly and let friends stay
And if by a miracle it happens that you linger, Oh my friend be blessed,
Cause you're the Lord's messenger, you’re the Lord’s messenger.
Friends are made to run / When you're out and when you’re down
And God is made to hold / When you vcan’t be brave and bold
How could I stop the sheep / when they hear the earth trembling ?
When they see the mountains falling ?
Everyone has a part to play / So let the sheep run and let God stay
And if by a miracle it happens that you linger, oh my friend be blessed,
Cause you're my Lord's messenger, Yes you're the Lord’s messenger…
Fly, friends, fly, cutting with your wings so fair / The essence of my vital air, vital air…
Run, friends run, making with your hooves so light / Gashes in the soil of my fight…
Let me tell you
I won't let any resentment, oh no, make me be unaware of this sentiment:
You cannot move my roots, oh yes I know
They may be deep and mute, not easy to show
But they are linked to the Most High, And I know He won't deny me
They are linked to the Most High, so secure,
You cannot move my roots, oh yes I'm sure
And if by a miracle it happens that you linger, oh my friend be blessed
Cause you're the Lord's messenger, you're the Lord's messenger.
Don't let my smiling face deceive you on the pain I have to face
Sometimes cannot find the words that will make my deep feelings at last be heard…
You are, you are my Lord’s messenger.

Keep on Rollin
05:13
|
|||
I don't know what will be tomorrow
I don't care what awaits me there
I keep on rollin' on my way
I keep on strollin', cause I ain't here to stay
I don’t mind if there's something behind
I can walk if my fears don't talk
I keep on rollin’ on my way
I keep on strollin', livin' from day to day
There seems to be no other way out
I used to see myself laid out, laid out…
Since I met you at the soulsquare
The circus of my life is driving me spare
I've been changed and since then,
The cycle of my life has started again
There seems to be another way out
I'm tired of seeing myself laid out, laid out…
Now I know that they'll be a morrow
And I dare to await you there
Now I've found a road and a sacred ground
And I'll walk even if my fears talk
I'll keep on rollin' on my way
But now I’m walkin', for a brighter day.

Hands of Life
03:34
|

There was a time when I didn't have something to eat,
And there was a time when I didn't have shoes on my feet
It was so tough, so rough, so hard, but I did survive
It was nice to feel that I was in the hands of life.
Hoo - Now is the time to share all our experiences of life
Hoo- A wonderful time to talk about the things that keep us alive
We'll be testifying, and we'll smooth away any little strife
It won't be easy, but it can be crazy and smart; open your heart,
It is nice to feel that we’re in the hands of life
It is nice to feel, It is nice to feel, It is nice to feel
that we’re in the hands of life
Then will come the time to say good-bye, au revoir
That closing time when I sing the final song of the repertoire
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust and life to life
The spell of living will be broken by the death's fife
We know what it's all about
You could be sad, or afraid, and bad ; but don't be dismayed
'T will be nice to know that I'm still in the hands, I’m still in the hands,
I’m still in the hands of life
It is nice to know, it is nice to know, it is nice to know, that we’re in the hands of life
In the hands of life

Thanx and Praises
04:34
|

Every day of your life, give thanx and praises
I give thanx THANX THANX AND PRAISES
I GIVE THANX AND PRAISES FROM THE MORNING DAWN
THANX AND PRAISES TILL THE NIGHT HAS COME
I give thanx THANX THANX AND PRAISES
I woke up one more day / My blood still running warm in my veins
My blues are turning grey/ troubles around me like heavy chains
But I feel my heart beating, telling to my mind these words:
I’m the only one to live my life as a true part of this world
I give thanx THANX THANX AND PRAISES
Thanx for the sun, Thanx for the rain, Thanx for the fun, Thanx for the pain
Thanx for being able to give / Thanx for everything I receive
I give thanx for all my ennemies when they put me down on my knees
It’s the place where I learn the best ,where my faith can stand the test
I give thanx THANX THANX AND PRAISES
I GIVE THANX AND PRAISES FROM THE MORNING DAWN
THANX AND PRAISES TILL THE NIGHT HAS COME
I give thanx THANX, THANX AND PRAISES
THANX AND PRAISES
