A boy is born in hard time mississippi Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty His parents give him love and affection To keep him strong moving in the right direction Living just enough, just enough for the city... ee ha! His father works some days for fourteen hours And you can bet he barely makes a dollar His mother goes to scrub the floors for many And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeah! His sister's black but she is sho'nuff pretty Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy To walk to school she's got to get up early Her clothes are old but never are they dirty Living just enough, just enough for the city... um hum Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many His patience's long but soon he won't have any To find a job is like a haystack needle Cause where he lives they don't use colored people Living just enough, just enough for the city... Living just enough... For the city... ooh, ooh (Repeat several times) His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty He spends his life walking the streets of new york city He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution He tried to vote but to him there's no solution Living just enough, just enough for the city... Yeah, yeah, yeah! I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow This place is cruel no where could be much colder If we don't change the world will soon be over Living just enough, stop giving just enough for the city!!!! La, la, la, la, la, la, Da ba da da da da da da Da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da da (Repeat to end)

First you love me, and I let you in Made me feel like I was born again You empowered me, you made me strong Built me up, and I can do no wrong I let down my guard I fell into your arms Forgot who I was I didn't hear the alarms Now I'm down on my knees Alone in the dark I was blind to your game You fired a shot in my heart Took me to heaven and let me fall down Now that it's over I'm gonna carry on Lifted me up, and watched me stumble After the heartache I'm gonna carry on Living for love I'm living for love I'm not giving up I'm gonna carry on Living for love I'm living for love Not gonna stop 'Cause love's gonna lift me up (Love) (Lift me up) Love's gonna lift me up (Love) (Lift me up) I could get caught up in bitterness But I'm not dwelling on this crazy mess (Ooh, yes) I found freedom in the ugly truth I deserve the best and it's not you You've broken my heart But you can't break me down (Come on) Not falling apart, once was lost, now I've been found Picked up my crown, put it back on my head I can forgive, but I will never forget Took me to heaven and let me fall down Now that it's over I'm gonna carry on Lifted me up, and watched me stumble After the heartache I'm gonna carry on Living for love I'm living for love I'm not giving up I'm gonna carry on Living for love I'm living for love Not gonna stop 'Cause love's gonna lift me up (Love) (Lift me up) Love's gonna lift me up (Love) (Lift me up) Love's gonna lift me up (Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up) 'Cause love's gonna lift me up, up, up, up Lord lift me up, up, up, up 'Cause love's gonna lift me up, up, up, up Lord lift me up, up, up, up Love's gonna lift me up (Gonna lift me up) Lord lift me up, up, up, up Living for love Living for love I'm not giving up I'm gonna carry on Living for love I'm living for love Not gonna stop!

We've all got those things crawling under what they perceive We know sharp fangs and they chew in the times alone My gut is telling, oh, it's telling me what? She'd rather see a man up than me undone Rip a hole in my life But no matter the things I do, never get over it I said goodbye from a place so far I'm under the truth Because words mean nothing to fleeting youth Rip a whole in my life when it's bringing me back to you I've been trying to work it out Gotta get away from the sights and sounds Keep it on the ground I don't wanna be but just carry on and smile on through it Death is true and I'll be missing you (And I'll be missing you) Advice is not always right So I've gone to tread my ways The path I've laid out is tied We're always meant to shine You left a lot of grief Now it's bleeding out my teeth Shot holes in every stone heart The tones are on repeat but nothing's filling me It's on my chest and you're in this art My gut is telling, oh, it's telling me what? She'd rather see a man up than me undone Rip a hole in my life But no matter the things I do, never get over it I said goodbye from a place so far I'm under the truth Because words mean nothing to fleeting youth Rip a whole in my life when it's bringing me back to you I'll work it out Gotta get away, get away from the sights and sounds Keep it on the ground I don't wanna be but just carry on and smile on through it Death is true and I'll be missing you Death is true and I'll be missing you I think I'll just smile through it all for you I've been trying to work it out Gotta get away, get away from the sights and sounds Keep it on the ground I don't wanna be but just carry on and smile on through it Death is true and I'll be missing you
