(You got to, got to) (You got to, got to) (You got to, got to) (You got to, got to) (You got to, got to) (You got to, got to) I often sit There in the sea And dream dreams And hope hopes And wish wishes And lately As I listen to the wind song As it dances a beautiful dance for me But these moments Never seem to last to long Because after the hopes The dreams, and the wishes You got the singin' of the dancin' wind After you and me And a stolen moment of happines After a glimpse Of the timeless, natural universe Moving in effortless effervesce Starts when rhythm Yeah Moving in effortless effervesce Starts when beauty Comes, comes the reality of today Grinning it's all-knowing, fiendish grin Knowing everything I say Everything I feel Everything I think Every gesture I make today, today Pressing his ugly face against mine Staring at me with lifeless eyes Crumbling away all memories of yesterday's dreams Crumbling away Crumbling hopes and destroying wishes Destroying dreams Can't even get close to nobody no more No matter how much you try You can't get close to nobody no more Because today is a killer And only you can save us Lord Only you can save us Lord I never dreamed I certainly never hoped That one day I'd be screamin' 'Bout something my mother told me I needed In the beginnin' In the beginnin' In the beginnin' Yes Lord Ooh my Lord (Hallelujah) Oh my Lord (Hallelujah) Oh my Lord (Hallelujah) Oh my Sweet Lord (Hallelujah) I really wanna see you (Hallelujah) I really wanna be with you (Hallelujah) I really wanna see you (Hallelujah) But it takes so long my Lord (Hallelujah) Oh my Lord(Hallelujah) Oh my Lord (Hallelujah) My sweet Lord (Hallelujah) I really wanna see ya (Hallelujah) I've got to see you (Hallelujah) I really wanna see ya (Hallelujah) But it takes so long, my Lord (Hallelujah) Oh my Lord (Hallelujah) (My Lord) Oh my Lord (Hallelujah) My sweet Lord (Hallelujah) Oh my Lord (Hallelujah) My Hallelujah (Hallelujah) Hallelujah (Hallelujah) Hallelujah (Hallelujah) Takes so long, my Lord Oh Lord, takes so long Hope it doesn't take too long this time Cause I need to be with you I need to be with you I need to be with you, Lord Today Today Today Today Today, who are you Lord You are a killer (Hallelujah) (Aaa)
