Let Us Dream
I see you out on the street in your cars
People hurting, smouldering, burning
And all it is, is that we don't know who we are
Hard and hurried, tired of the journey
Life goes on and the veil doesn't lift
If we're still learning
Why does it take so long
It seems to me that there will be
A better way
Through these dark and desperate days
We've been down and we've been out
We've been broken on the ground
We've all been left and spun around
Yead, we all know the stifled sound
Of life gone dry
But where are we
If we don't try to live again
My saddened friends there's gonna be
A better way, that we can live
Let loving in, oh let love in
I feel the change on the wind
And then I know
Somethings over and we won't be the same
I fall to fear but then I breathe
Deep and slow
I know this power
And it comes through soul
We've been down and we've been out
We've been broken on the ground
We've all been left and spun around
Yead, we all know the stifled sound
Of life gone dry
But where are we
If we don't try to live again
My saddened friends there's gonna be
A better way, that we can live
Let loving in, oh let love in
We'll have love where we don't have much
Open hearts so we can be touched
And we will live in a whole new way
I can feel it approaching
A new day is coming
There's a peace in the warm sunrise
We've been so long alone
Now we're folding together
Got to trust that our hearts won't lie
Every Little Thing
Skinny legs, a press and curls
My mother always thought I'd be a star
But way before my record deal
The streets that nurtured Lauryn Hill
Made sure that I'd never go too far
Every ghetto, every city and suburban place I've been
Make me recall my days in the New Jerusalem
Story starts at Hootaville grew up next to Ivy Hill
When kids were stealing quartervilles for fun"Kill the guy" in Carter park
<
Rode a Mongoose 'til stolen ones
Every ghetto, every city and suburban place I've been
Make me recall my day in New Jerusa
