Be And Be Not Afraid lyrics - Tracy Chapman

I believe in mistakes and accidents

That the nature of life is chaos and confusion

That man's rules of law and order

May not stand

And I should be and be not afraid

To reach for heaven

I may think that I know

The true heart's needs

But my pride may bring me low

Unable to see

I'm no closer than yesterday

But tomorrow I may stand

And be and be not afraid

To reach for heaven

I'll see the black car cavalcade

Lights on in the morn

I'll run fast and far away

I'll run without stopping

'Til hear and feet fail

Or until I can stand

And be and be not afraid

Be and be not afraid

Be and be not afraid

To reach for heaven

Loose Your Love lyrics - Tracy Chapman

If I should lose your love

I hope my heart will break

A second just before the feeling goes away

Cold and dark and still

Let that be the state

No heat no light no tremor

No welcome for the pain

If I should lose your love

Let my mind draw a blank

A second after all your love's gone away

Silent calm and clear

Let that be the place

An empty hollow void

Where nothing is contained

If I should lose your love

This body will be my grave

And from that moment forth

Best I should fade away

To vapor dust and sand

To drift through time and space

Forever and until all has been erased

Let It Rain lyrics - Tracy Chapman

Let it rain

As I walk these streets unknown

To no one named

Not even myself

When I'm low

Give me hope

That help is coming

When I need it most

Give me hope

That help is coming

When I need it most

Let it go

No mother no father no home

Forget as all others

Have forgotten

When I'm alone

But give me hope

That help is coming

When I need it most

Give me hope

That help is coming

When I need it most

Let it come

Love that lifts me up

Pain that brings me down

Everything I'd ever want and don't

When I'm not strong

But give me hope

That help is coming

When I need it most

Give me hope

That help is coming

When I need it most

Let it rain

Let it flood these streets and wash me away

To where it makes no difference who I am

Or what the future holds

When I don't know

But give me hope

That help is coming

When I need it most

Give me hope

That help is coming

When I need it most

Another Sun lyrics- Tracy Chapman

Trouble won't find me

Sorrow won't call

Sadness will turn away

Searching for a new soul

Hardship won't come by

All pain will cease

Somebody will take my place

And suffer for me

If I never see another sun

If I never see another sun

If I never see another sun

Another sun another sun

If no love will comfort me

If no kind words come

To offer hope or peace

When I have fallen

If I be a stranger

Friend of no one

I'll gladly take my place

In the world beyond

If I never see another sun

If I never see another sun

If I never see another sun

Another sun another sun

If I lay down and wake to see

The bright light of the morn

Rise up every day

To blind beat and burn

Show me no mercy

For need or want

Let somebody take my place

When the new day dawns

If I never see another sun

If I never see another sun

If I never see another sun

Another sun another sun

You're The One lyrics - Tracy Chapman

Some say you're crazy

Say that you're no good

Say your family's cursed with bad blood

But I think you're cute and misunderstood

And I wouldn't change you if I could

Let'em talk you down

Call you names

My mind's made up

It ain't gonna change

I'm sure in my heart

Happy and free

You're the one you're the one

You're the one for me

Some say you're bitter

Think you're mean

Uncouth untamed and unrestrained

But I think you're sensitive and sweet

Stay as you are don't change a thing

Let'em talk you down

Call you names

My mind's made up

It ain't gonna change

I'm sure in my heart

Happy and free

You're the one you're the one

You're the one for me

Some say you're bawdy

Wicked and wild

A restless useless juvenile

But I think you're funny and I like your smile

Want to be with you want you to stay awhile

Let'em talk you down

Call you names

My mind's made up

It ain't gonna change

I'm sure in my heart

Happy and free

You're the one you're the one

You're the one for me

A no 'count mixed up

Amount to nothing

A day away from a bum on the street

Some low class kind of royalty

That's what they say about you

When they're talking to me

Some say you're bad

A bad bad seed

You love to play with fire you love gambling

But I know what you love and I know what you need

And I like it when you play with me

Let'em talk you down

Call you names

My mind's made up

It ain't gonna change

I'm sure in my heart

Happy and free

You're the one you're the one

You're the one for me

In The Dark lyrics- Tracy Chapman

Make me fumble

Make me fall

Make my heart stop and start

To tremble uncontrollably

Let my eyes see fear make desire

Keep those who long apart

Forbid the kiss

And leave us innocent

Of the things some do in the dark

The things some do in the dark

The things some do in the dark

Make me remember

Make me forget

Make my mind unable

To force the body to do its will

Let it be right for belief and denial

To share a space in the heart and leave us only to imagine

About the things some do in the dark

The things some do in the dark

The things some do in the dark

Make me pretend

Make me expect

Things can go and come to pass

Without trial or tribulation

Let this life space and time

Leave my body with permanent marks

Faded scars and lines

But not a single impression

Of the things some do in the dark

The things some do in the dark

The things some do in the dark

Let me be tempted

Let me be torn

But make my thoughts pure and not

Morally corrupt in form

Let us sleep tonight

Let innocence lie in our dreams and secret hearts

With burning desire

A need to know and do

The things some do in the dark

The things some do in the dark

The things some do in the dark

Almost lyrics - Tracy Chapman

Almost got what I want

Almost found what I lost

Almost saved you and myself

Almost won but it doesn't count

And never does

Never does

One green light

One more ring of the telephone

One more step

One more second

And I almost

Almost

Almost got what I want

Almost found what I lost

Almost saved you and myself

Almost won but it doesn't count

And never does

Never does

One hello

Just one kiss before the tears come

One yes

One chance

And I almost

Almost almost almost

Almost got what I want

Almost found what I lost

Almost saved you and myself

Almost won but it doesn't count

And never does

Never does

One day one year

5,000 weeks

A life of good works and good deeds

Let me be let me be closer

Or let me be

Let me be

Let me be

When I've almost got what I want

Almost found what I lost

Almost saved you and myself

Almost won but it doesn't count

And never does

Never does

One good guess

A question with an answer that I know

One idea

One grand notion

And I almost

Almost almost almost

Almost got what I want

Almost found what I lost

Almost saved you and myself

Almost won but it doesn't count

And never does

Never does

Never does

Never does

Hard Wired lyrics - Tracy Chapman

Your wants desires

Needs and wishes

Will be duly noted

Processed filed and cataloged

Labeled and encoded

Turned into sitcom dialog

And advertising slogans

We've got a box to put in your brain

Hard wired for downloading

All the secrets and the mysteries

You've been selfishly withholding

The dreams and hopes

That once were yours

Will now be collected and dispersed

So the first to come with cash to spend

Will be the first one served

We've got a box to put in your brain

Hard wired for downloading

All the secrets and the mysteries

You've been selfishly withholding

Make you think you like to be watched

Displayed on the auction block

Invaded in your own home

Stripped naked on the television

Humiliated in front of millions

We've got a box to put in your brain

Hard wired for downloading

All the secrets and the mysteries

You've been selfishly withholding

We've got a box to put in your brain

We've got a box to put in your brain

We've got a box to put in your brain

We've got a box to put in your brain

Your wants desires

Needs and wishes

Will be duly noted

Say Hallelujah lyrics - Tracy Chapman

Say Hallelujah

Throw up your hands

The bucket is kicked

The body is gone

Close your eyes

And bow your head

To rest your soul

And to praise the dead

Say Hallelujah

Throw up your hands

The bucket is kicked

The body is gone

Dry your eyes

And stand upright

Put a smile on your face

He wouldn't want us to cry

The sun will rise

The stars will shine

Turning day to dusk

And night to dawn

We'll pass on

But until that time

Say Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Say Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Say Hallelujah

Throw up your hands

The bucket is kicked

The body is gone

Have mercy

It's a wonderful life

Eternal rest for the weary

Mourners party tonight

Say Hallelujah

Throw up your hands

The bucket is kicked

The body is gone

Wave your hands

But don't say goodbye

We're all gonna meet you

On the other side
