Some Of Us Are Brave

If the sky were to fall
I’d be the first to call
Some of us are brave
Who’s gonna feel my pain
Who’s gonna say my name
Ain't no choice but to be brave
Peace and love to the ones who give praise
Take a bow as the sun hits the face
See me now, golden hour
And to those who fear leads them to hate
What a pity to be locked in a place
You see me now
I’ll show you how
I’ll show you how
I’ll show you how
I’ll show you how
I’ll show you how
Peace and love to the ones who give praise
Take a bow as the light hits the face
See me now, I‘m loud and proud
And to those who fear leads them to hate
What a pity to be locked in that place, I know
You see me though
Cause the breeze don’t blow cause you want it
And the sun gon’ shine regardless
I'm here to stay
I'm here to stay
All we want is to be ourselves
And shine our light with no problems
We don't want problems
I do believe that the power in me
Frightens you, that's your problem
That's your problem
I say the darker the berry, the sweeter the fruit
The kinkier the hair the deeper the roots
Bow down when the queendom comes
Take note when we speak our tongues
Darker the berry the sweeter the fruit
Give her her crown when she walks in the room
We are the first ones
We are light of the sun
All we want is to be ourselves
And shine our light with no problems
We don't want problems
I do believe that the power in me
Frightens you, that's your problem
That's your problem
Black like the earth to the world we gave birth
Hair to the sky so much cool in our stride
I’ll show you how
I’ll show you how

So Long
02:23

I feel it when the sun don't shine
Hold my head and I clear my mind to save me
I’m gonna save me
I won't hide, no I won't play small
I stay grounded, I can never fall
You won't shake me
You'll never shake me
And I don't care what people say I’ll do it my way
So long all my fears
I'm ready for the day
If I lose some then I’ve lost them
What more can I say
I know there's a darker side
The ones that only feed their pride
They’re aching, oh they’re aching
I long for a higher plane
Don't forget my mama gave me my name you don't make me
Nah you don't make
And I when I see that rising sun
I know my time has finally come
So Long all my fears
I'm ready for the day
If I lose some then I’ve lost them
What more can I say

Only The Lonely
03:52

Listen darling to every word I say
I left you long before today
My sweet darling don’t even try to sway
Love is lost and I must walk away
I know I’ve said it once before
But now I feel it more and more
I know I’ve said it once before
But now I feel it more and more
Only the lonely stay
When love’s no longer served
The fire doesn’t burn
They hold on so desperately
There’s a truth in the dark
It’s gonna break you down so steel your heart
You don’t love me you just lonely
That’s what my mind say
Your daddy left you guilty
That’s what you don’t see
And I give up trying cause I’m feeling world's apart
And you’ll never call it though you’re staring at the clock
I know I’ve said it all before
But now I feel it
Only the lonely stay
When love’s no longer served
The fire doesn’t burn
They hold on so desperately
And only the lonely stay
When love’s no longer served
The fire doesn’t burn
They hold on so desperately
Listen darling every word I say
I left you long before today
My sweet darling don’t even try to sway
Love is lost and I must walk away
I must walk away
I must walk away
I must walk away
I must walk away

The Only Way Out
03:19
|

I was the giver of unconditional love
You were the taker and you couldn’t get enough
Capture me with your spell
My cup runneth over might as well
I've been a fool for so long
Hard to know what's right baby and what is wrong
I guess that sometimes a broken heart, it’s the only way out (it’s the only way out)
I guess that sometimes a broken heart is the only way out (it’s the only way out)
My poor heart can you forgive me
I can’t seem to figure it out
I always give a little more than I got
I always get a little less than I want, oh no
Well I know you got to go through it to get through it
So let me cry my tears, sorrow take my hand
Ain't no use in loving him, if I ain't loving me
That’s for sure, for sure
I guess that sometimes a broken heart, it’s the only way out (it’s the only way out, it’s the only way out)
I guess that sometimes a broken heart is the only way out (it’s the only way out, it’s the only way out)
Oh, I, oh, my poor broken heart is the only way out (it’s the only way out, it’s the only way out)
I guess that sometimes my poor broken heart is the only way out (it’s the only way out, it’s the only way out)
I guess that sometimes a broken heart, it’s the only way out, it’s the only way out
I guess that sometimes a broken heart, it’s the only way out, it’s the only way out

Thoughts
02:56
|

I’m new to the life I have
I’m failing fast
I gave it all I got and now i'm gone
I'm here with my new friends
The doubts, the fear
They tell me I will never get put on
And these thoughts surround me
They’re haunting me night and day
And these thoughts surround me
I'm falling just like their prey
I find my strength again, my voice, my pen
I want the things that God has promised me
But I end up right back there
Contrast, compare
What do they have that maybe I can’t be?
And these thoughts surround me
They’re haunting me night and day
And these thoughts surround me
I'm falling just like their prey
I ain't quite where I used to be
Don't know where I am going
I ain't quite where I used to be
Don't know where I am going

Darker Than Blue
04:26
|

We walked toward the firing lines
With heavy hearts heavy minds
Fueled with hope for a brighter day
Need to look in your eyes
Everyday is another day
To lay a name at your feet
Holding on with the hopes of love
Though my heart’s filled with grief
We are the people darker than blue
(Can’t you see us rising higher?)
Hold hands in love
Fight on for truth
(Can’t you see us rising higher?)
We withhold the fire
Though we know we can burn it down
My peace is a gift to you
Don't you throw it to the ground
Everyday is another day
To say a name to get it right
How long must we come to you?
Now is the time
‘Cause we are the people darker than blue
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
Hold hands in love, fight on for truth
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
We are the people darker than blue
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
Hold hands in love, fight on for truth
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
We press on
We fight on
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
We press on
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
Oh, we fight on
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
Yeah, I know, I know we can make it (Can't you see us rising higher?)
Oh, I know, I know we can press on (Can't you see us rising higher?)
Oh, I know we can fight on (Can't you see us rising higher?)
We are the people darker than blue
And we’re gonna hold on in love, fight on for truth
