In the heart of the city On a lonely Friday night Well, you been walking in the shadows While the rest walk in the light Girls all look so pretty The big ones and the small But they don't look in the shadows So they don't see your kind at all You're just another lonely soul Walkin' round this rock and roll, yeah You're just another lonely soul Walkin' round this rock and roll, yeah Well, in th...

Well, I'm scared for my child, Lord, for her mother For what you people wanna do to one another For the water, for the trees Man, I'm scared of pollution, well, of disease And I'm scared that my child won't live a long time With your murderin', rape and your drug money crime And I'm scared of the drugs stealing youth from the young Well, their life story, well, that'll never be sung Well, I pr...

I keep you here inside my head, I am not letting go The way you breathe, the things you said, just so you know Well, there's you and there's me and some old RB And we're being as natural as people can be And nothing feels wrong And there's no one around and there's only the sound Of your breathe in my ear and our hearts as they pound That's where we belong I keep you here inside my head, I'm n...

Sun comes up and life goes on its way But inside these walls, they are taking yours away And there in the dawn's calls, drifting out over it all You are lying in the shadows ?neath the window And you are leaving This long day is gonna test your heart again And though you are just a boy, they will hurt you as a man And they will come again to see, if they can steal your dignity And leave you na...

No, I am not out to get you And I never meant to upset you, baby, baby And I'm so glad that I met you I do not think I will regret you, baby, baby No, I am not out to get you If you wanna leave then I must let you, baby So take your hands from 'round my throat I'll buy you a ticket for the boat to sail away from me Just think how happy you could be If you were far away from me You and the frie...

I am a refugee, I am a refugee I can see you but you don't see me I am a refugee, sometimes I'm just like a mirror A reflection of what you ignore The look on my face is just the disgrace Of the child you locked outside your door I am flesh and bone born of mother From a home that ceases to be I have walked these roads to long my friend To return to my family, I was born in a different time In...

Are you listening, can you hear them? In the silence low, can you hear them? It's just a sound that was created, in a place that's been sedated In a life that's been frustrated, in a need that's left unsated It's a scream that has been stifled, someone's life that has been rifled Not of the few but of the multitude, born hard and raised in the necessitude Are you listening, can you hear them? ...

Tonight, this loneliness has found you Tonight, there's a darkness that surrounds you Adjusts your state of mind It's got you in this blind You can't move, so you lay upon your bed You run through, all the darkness in your head And hope that sleep will bring An end to everything And this shadow, that's hanging over you Makes it feel just like, well you won't make it through So please just stay...
