Home is where the heart is
and when i first parted
i didn’t believe that
i just couldn’t see that
When you’re far away from
all your loved ones
life gets harder
don’t know where to start
I'm so scared
for the future
I'm so scared
for tomorrow
I'm so scared
for the future
Cuz I'm blind to what
it’ll bring
Mama’s downstairs in the kitchen
and I'm stuck here wishing for
Soul Food
Playing on the playground
That’s where we used to get down
Singing those sweet sweet
Rhymes baby
I miss running round the neighborhood
Up to no good
Where did the good time go?
I'm so scared
for the future
I'm so scared
for tomorrow
I'm so scared
for the future
Cuz I'm blind to what it’ll bring
Mama’s downstairs in the kitchen
and I'm stuck here wishing for
Soul Food
{Solo}
Mama’s downstairs in the kitchen
and I'm stuck here wishing for
Soul Food
Mama’s downstairs in the kitchen
and I'm stuck here wishing for
Soul Food

Scatter Children
Tell the world the truth
Scattered Children
All Come from one root
I want to see you
Dancing in the street
And feel infinity
At your feet
Scattered Children
As things fall apart
Leave with knowing
Goodness from the heart
Ohhh children
Look not to the sky
The love you seek is right before your eyes
The love you seek is right before your eyes
The love you seek is right before your eyes

The Beautiful Ones
They are not yet Born
They are torn from life
Today
Mother
Hold your head
so high
For the sun
has made one
with the sky
and crucified
the feeling
that love ends after life
Brother
raise your voice
and sing
For beauty to
the world
you will bring
For into the groove
I feel ya, tugging on my
heartstrings
The Beautiful Ones
They are not yet Born
They are torn from life
Today
Venturing in
the
Unknown
But in people
We can find
Home
Only as souls
united can we
truly grow
Pulsing through
all of our
veins
Is blood that
all runs the
same
The mark of our days
ring true
They always will remain
The Beautiful Ones
They are not yet Born
They are torn from life
Today
{Solo}
The Beautiful Ones
They are not yet Born
They are torn from life
Today
The Beautiful Ones
They are not yet Born
They are torn from life
Today

How many times must I
Still Feel The Whip
Going down my back
Everyday
How many times must I
still feel the whip
Lord i don’t know what to say
It’s been too long
since my brothers
have been free
It’s been too long
gotta wake up to
reality
everyone get together
and start loving one another
ohhh children
or hate will take it’s toll
How many times must i
Still feel the whip
Going down my back
everyday
how many times must i
still feel the whip
Lord i don’t know what to say
It’s been too long
gotta break out
of these chains
It’s been too long
Can't let the past
be in vain
everyone get together
and start loving one another
ohhh children
or hate will take it’s toll
How many times must I
Still Feel The Whip
Going down my back
Everyday
How many times must I
still feel the whip
ohhh i don’t know what to say
DUB SECTION
How many times must I
Still Feel The Whip
Going down my back
Everyday
How many times must I
still feel the whip
ohhh i don’t know what to say
It’s been too long
People were left destitute
It’s been too long
Stolen away from their roots
everyone get together
and start loving one another
ohhh children
or hate will take it’s toll

This Joint

Here I am again
singing that same old song
what is my direction?
where do i belong?
I need to know the truth
Cuz there’s more to life beyond
these city lines
Here I am again
smoking that same ol J
The people who stood by me
all went away
my foundation now
has withered like
the herb in my
tray
I sing to stall the future
I sing to set my soul free
But this joint’s the only
thing that keeps me
strong
I can’t wait to get out of this prison cell
to find my own
I’ve been on the rocks for too long
I need to find a home
Stuck inside a system
that don’t care about me (no)
I need to open my eyes and see
that I’ve got to get out of this joint
Here I am again
Singing that same ole’ blues
What’s going on my brother
What is the news?
I see poverty now
And it sickens me
Right down to
My soul
Here I am again
And I’m about to cry
My mother can’t even stand
To look me in the eyes
She sees shame now
Cuz she knows the things
I’ve done ain’t
No good
I sing to stall the future
I sing to set my soul free
But this joint’s the only
thing that keep me
strong
I can’t wait to get out of this prison cell
to find my own
I’ve been on the rocks for too long
I need to find a home
Stuck inside a system
that don’t care about me (no)
I need to open my eyes and see
that I’ve got to get out of this joint
