All of my dreams seem to fall by the side Like a discarded thought or the day's fading light But I know that if I could just see you tonight Forever At times we may fall, like we all tend to do But I'll reach out and find that I've run into you Your strength is the power that carried me through Forever Your kindness for weakness I never mistook I worried you often, yet you understood That life is so fleeting, these troubles won't last Forever You inspired me truly you did from the start To not be afraid and to follow my heart There's a piece of you with me they can't tear apart Forever At times we may fall, like we all tend to do but your strength is the power that carried me through Forever Forever I'll find you, forever we'll be Forever your power and strength stays with me Forever I'll find you, forever we'll be Forever your power and strength stays with me Forever I'll find you, forever we'll be Forever your power and strength stays with me Forever I'll find you, forever we'll be Forever your power and strength stays with me Forever Forever Forever Forever

When they kick at your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun When the law break in How you gonna go? Shot down on the pavement Or waiting on death row You can crush us You can bruise us But you'll have to answer to Oh, the guns of Brixton The money feels good And your life you like it well But surely your time will come As in heaven, as in hell You see, he feels like Ivan Born under the Brixton sun His game is called survivin' At the end of the harder they come You know it means no mercy They caught him with a gun No need for the Black Maria Goodbye to the Brixton sun You can crush us You can bruise us But you'll have to answer to Oh, the guns of Brixton When they kick at your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun You can crush us You can bruise us You can even shoot us Oh, the guns of Brixton Shot down on the pavement Waiting in death row His game is called survivin' As in heaven as in hell You can crush us You can bruise us But you'll have to answer to Oh, the guns of Brixton Oh, the guns of Brixton Oh, the guns of Brixton Oh, the guns of Brixton Oh, the guns of Brixton

I keep my fist raised up full time against the world Sometimes with the family and sometimes with a girl Yeah, you think I've learned my lesson, I'm a man who's been around But I could never keep that middle finger down Well, I'm still hanging on, and I think God takes care of fools I broke a lotta hearts and I broke a lotta rules Yet somehow I survived with a bit of dummy luck But I could never keep that finger from sticking up I could never keep, I could never keep I could never keep my life from burning to the ground You think I've learned my lesson, I'm a man who's been around But I could never keep that middle finger down I'm a grudge-holding jerk who starts feuds with a wink A sharp-tongued S.O.B who speaks before he thinks I've learned from my losses and I know when I'm wrong Still, my life's sadder than an old country song I could never keep, I could never keep I could never keep my life from burning to the ground You think I've learned my lesson, I'm a man who's been around But I could never keep that middle finger down So if you looked at my life, if you took a little peek You'd say, "Good Lord, let it go, man, just turn the other cheek" I don't know how to let it go, I just don't know how to behave I was born with this affliction, and I'll take it to the grave I could never keep, I could never keep I could never keep my life from burning to the ground You think I've learned my lesson, I'm a man who's been around But I could never keep that middle finger down I could never keep (no), I could never keep (no) I could never keep my life from burning to the ground You think I've learned my lesson, I'm a man who's been around But I could never keep that middle finger down
