Sister K

There she goes, like a river she flows
tonight shes feeding the poor
everybody knows about the love that she grows
and how she would give it away.


Everyday she would show you some good
taking it as it comes
had it all covered and understood
but not a lot of people knew her
now everybody's lost one, sister

she even gave her self, away
She even gave her self
she even gave her self, away
She even gave herself

for you


She was the queen of project downtown in Tampa
who? Ms Rivera.
She was the home of the homeless of Florida
Sister, Rivera.


She loved the birds chirping down in Tampa
Khadijah Rivera
She was the wind that blows out of Florida
Sister Rivera.


Then she took off her coat didn't mind the cold
that homeless woman needed it more
Said she got another one simply lying at home
the truth was that she didn't.


All that you got in your hands is the end of the score
Life would never die
Just when the caterpillar thought its the end of the road
she turned to a butterfly,
now everybody's lost her

she even gave her self, away
She even gave her self
she even gave her self, away
She even gave herself

for you


She was the queen of project downtown in Tampa
who? Ms Rivera.
She was the home of the homeless of Florida
Sister, Rivera.


She loved the birds chirping down in Tampa
Khadijah Rivera
She was the wind that blows out of Florida
Sister Rivera.


She wanted to surprise all the youth of Tampa
Sister Rivera
But then she flew with her wings over Florida
She left, forever.


She was the wind that blows out of Tampa
Who? Ms. Rivera
She loved the birds chirping down in Florida
Khadijah Rivera


She was the queen of project downtown in Tampa
Sister Rivera
she build a home for the homeless of Florida
Khadijah Rivera



She was the wind that blows out of Tampa
She was, special
She had this habit of always helping others
Sister Rivera


From New York City to Florida
They knew? Ms. Rivera
She loved the birds chirping down in Tampa
Sister, Rivera


Sister K
You OK?
Why'd you have to go this way?
Sister K
You OK?
I'll be checking on you
but I'll be okay.

Its not my call
she'd tell you so
these decisions are made in heaven
she had it her way
be right here today
but you know this is not how it happens...

Sister K
You OK?
I didn't hear from you today?
Sister k
It's OK
you just try to have a good day.

Sister K
where are you today
maybe we'll meet one day, on a Sunday or a Monday
Sister K
I'll be OK
don't worry about me
you just try to have a great day!

Even if the spit in your way
Just try to ho have a good day

Try to have a great day
Try to have a good day
Even if they spit in your face
Try to have a great day.

perfect family

Daddy
I'm looking out for you
walking down, the metropolis
calling out your name

And gladly
I'd hold on to you
if only you could one more time
hold me in your arms again

Am I your son now?
Am I your son now?
Am I your son now?
Tell me.

And Daddy
I still remember you
maybe you've forgotten me
You've got a new family.

So am I your son now?
Am I your love now?
Am your son now
Daddy
Am I your son now?
Am I your son now?
Am I your son now?
Tell me.


And Mommy
You are the rock I rest upon
and even when everything is gone
you'd still be a part of me
but daddy
I cant hold on to you
but I could give it one more try
If you hold me in your arms again

Am I your son now?
Am I your son now?
Am I your son now?
Daddy?
Am I your son now?
Am I your love now?
Am I your son now?
tell me?

Enjoy the bliss of your
perfect family.

light in the dark

I was standing
in the middle
and on my left
was the sunset
on my right side
was the darkness
too scared to move ahead

but to my surprise
I saw the moon rise

and you thought He would leave you alone
you were wrong.

because
God
Forgives you
if and when He Wishes
yes, God
can forgive you
if or when He Wishes

Injila my child
Sawana my daughter
May God bring you faith knowledge and wisdom
Adam my sun
and Gabe my last one
May God bring you faith knowledge and wisdom
My children my light
my moon my eyes
May God give you your homes in paradise.

who cares

I saw him outside McDonalds
asking people for a sandwich
everybody's ignoring him
including myself
how long can you do it?

Try to stand in his shoes
even just for one day
you will hear me say

who?
cares about you?
who?
cares about you?,
you will hear me say.

try to get a health insurance
ask the 40 million uninsured
see the flip side in real time
it only takes a minute a day
same thing goes for all the other things
they tax your life

who?
cares about you?
who?
cares about you?
who?
cares about you?
who?
cares about you?

thank God for the children
they don't know inhibitions
and just one smile
you get the same in reply
they take it at face value

and they do
they care about you,
some would say,
we do
we care about you.
i can hear they sing
daddy we do
we care about you.


who?
cares about you?
we do
care about you.

talking about that guy outside McDonalds
how long will you help?
will it be for as long as it takes
or will you just turn away?

the end of the tunnel

hey
you got me
wondering all through the night
maybe
baby
there's got to be another way

lets
begin
look up
to the man in the mirror
and when
I took it up
haven't stopped it since then

keep your eyes on the road
and your hands on the steering wheel...


Hey
you got me
wondering all night
come on
bring it up
I wont give it up without a fight

keep your eyes on the road
and your hands on the steering wheel...

washington d.c.

Hollywood air
is what I breathe
you can call it
no destiny
Washington dc
is what I see
maybe for now
its the best for me

I'm gonna make it through
I'm gonna make it too
I'm gonna make it through
I'm gonna make it to you

come on come on come on
shine on
come on come on come on
bring on the dawn

Hollywood air

stop, and go

when you know you have to stop one day
might as well do it today
every things burning
look at what you're doing
to your life

you gotta stop
stoning yourself to sleep
man you got to stop
stoning yourself to sleep
this is not
how its going to be,
from now on

I went to see the river today
saw the desert instead
everything about the world is changing
as you're sleeping in your bed

you gotta stop
stoning yourself to sleep
man you got to stop
stoning yourself to sleep
this is not
how its going to be,
from now on
