I Believe

In a world that gets crazier by the day
Where children laugh and children play
Beggars beg and others steal
Some for the cash or one good meal

A stranger’s stare is as cold as ice
Check your cash and check it twice
Look straight ahead afraid to smile
Heart is cold in the middle of July

In a world that gets colder by the day
And children cry in countries far away
A brother dies at the barrel of a gun
A mother weeps for the death of her son

We turn away as if we cannot hear
Or do we hear and just do not care?
‘What can I do?’ is the question we ask
I’m just a speck unequal to the task

Chorus
I believe in miracles
And with help from God above
I believe we can get it right
Cause I believe in love

Now children hear what I say
Doesn’t matter if you’re near or far away
Stand proud in the center of the light
The Creator made you all and you’re special in his sight

Melt your heart let your spirit run free
Free from hate fear and mediocrity
Free your spirits just let them soar
Doesn’t matter if you’re rich or if you’re poor

Come on and help me sing this song
Every night all day long
To every woman man boy and girl
Down the street and around the world

Come on and show who you really are
I know you’re a shining star
We all have a special place
No matter your sex or your race

If I Walked in Her Shoes

Chorus
If I Walked in her shoes
Would I look at her this way
If I walked in her shoes
I don’t know what I’d say
Don’t know what I’d say

I’ve seen her waiting every morning
Bright and early
At the bus stop down the street
Three little kids by her side
Misbehavin’ and grabbin’ at her feet
The jury’s in
They look at her
And look away with a grin and a wink
They don’t say a word but you know what they think

Chorus

We look at her with judging eye
As if we know
All the things she’s been through
We feel we know who s he is
From what we see every night on the evening news
Three little kids with three different dads
Boy she had her cake and ate it too
In truth we don’t know the things she’s been through

Chorus

Bridge
Who are we to judge her?
Could we do any better?
Sometime life deals a bad hand
You do the best that you can

Just the Way You Are

Was moving with a fast with a crowd
Down a dead-end street
Didn’t c are what was right or wrong
Just as long as it was sweet
But deep down inside I cried
Longed for a tender voice to lead me away from there

Chorus
To say ‘Just take your time
(I love you just the way you are)
Life can be son unkind
Remember when your spirit’s low
I love you still
I love you just the way you are and I always will.’

Since I met you late last year
You empathised
You must have thought me evil babe
The devil in disguise
But never did you let on
I knew then you’re the one
The one that was meant for me

Chorus

I was playing out a role that I thought was for me
Doing things that even I didn’t understand
I was so confused
I was trying hard to please everyone around me
Couldn’t even see what was really happening
I was being used
