Gratitude

Skip scarbrough


You want my love and you can't deny
You know it's true, but you try to hide
You turn down love like it's really bad
You can't give what you never had
Well bless your soul, you can fool a few
But, i know the truth and so do you

You can't hide love, you can't now
You can't hide love, it's got ya
Betcha you want my love, i betcha
You can't hide feeling inside

You can't pretend there's nothing there
Girl, i look in your eyes, i see you care
So why not stop trying to run and hide
You won't find out, if you never try,

You can't hide love, you can't now
You can't hide love, it's got ya
Betcha want my love, i betcha
You can't hide feeling inside

Love has found the time to kiss you
Can you find the time to listen
Life found the time to bug you
Can you find the time for blessing.

Wanna thank you, wanna thank you
Freedom in stride, love, peace of mind
We just wanna give gratitude
Got plenty love we wanna give to you
With good music and we're tryin' to say
That the good lord's gonna make a way

Open up your heart, let your body find,
Freedom in your stride, love, peace of mind
One more time and we got to say
That the good lord gonna make a way.

Now, i'm craving your body,
Is this real
Temperatures rising, i don't want to feel
I'm in the wrong place to be real
Woahh and i'm; longing to love you
Just for a night,
Kissing and hugging and holding you tight
Please let me love you
With all my might

Reasons, the reasons that we hear,
The reasons that we fear
Our feelings a-won't disappear

Oooh! and- after the love game has been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade

(layering chorus)
La-la-la-etc
After all our reasons why
All the reasons were a lie
After all the reasons lo-ove was ne'er decide

And, longing to love you for one night
Please let me love you with all of my might, baaaaby
Ooohhh, baby!

Reasons, the reasons that we hear,
The reasons that we fear
Our feelings a-won't disappear

Oooh! and after the love games have been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade

And, in the morning when i rise,
No longer feeling hynotized
For no reasons, our reasons, our reasons
Have no pri-ii-de

(layering chorus)
La-la-la-etc
After all the reasons why
All of the reasons were a lie
After all the reasons lo-ove was ne'er decide

(phillips last solo) heeehhhhh, ooooh, yeaahhh, oohhh baby,
I can't find the reasons
That my love won't disappear
Can't find the reasons
Why i love you ,my baby, my dear
Can't find the reasons
Wanna love you all night
Can't find the reasons
Gotta squeeze ya, real tight
Can't find the reasons
Baby- yeah,
For my tears
Can't find the reasons
Why i love ya....(fade to black)

Thru devotion, blessed are the children
Praise the teacher, that brings true love to many
Your devotion, opens all life's treasures
And deliverance, from the fruits of evil.
So our mission, to bring a melody,
Ringin' voices sing sweet harmony

For you here's a song, to make your day brighter.
One that will last, you long thru troubled days.
Giving your heart the light to brighten.
All of the dark that falls in your way
You need devotion. bless the children
Deliverance from the fruits of evil

In everyone's life, there's a need to be happy.
Let the sun shine, a smile your way.
Open your heart, feel a touch of devotion.
Maybe this song, will help uplift your day.

Make a better way
You need devotion

Once upon a time, a child was born
With a light, to carry on,
Didn't know what he had to be, had a feelin'
He was bound to see...

So the streets, he fled to shine
In a world of a different kind,
As he yearn, so he learn.

Stop! look what's behind you
Fame and love gonna find you
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do.

He just felt so, good inside
Watchin' people come alive
Throbbin' rhythm and it stirs your soul
Melodies of joy unfold...

Gives your heart such a special treat
Clap your hands, stomp your feet...
As we yearn, so we learn.

Stop! look what's behind you
Fame and love gonna find you
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do.
