An Offer To Pray!
a prayer group stopped a man
walking down the street,
and offered to pray for him....
he turned and said:
'dont pray for me unless
you have something i can eat...
maybe a cup of coffee...
and if you havent got anywhere
for me to sleep... maybe,
just a blanket, or a coat...'
he thought a minute, and spoke again:
'i tell you what, forget all that....
i dont want you to give me anything...
except a chance to work, and earn my way! '
they were speechless...
he turned and walked away!

If You Talk In Your Sleep
(words & music by red west - johnny christopher)
I know youre a lonely woman and I love you
But someone else is waiting and he owns you
If he should ever wake up, make sure that your story is straight love
If you talk in your sleep dont mention my name
And if you walk in your sleep forget where you came
Walking every night here in the shadows
So afraid that sometime he may follow
Theres always the chance hell find us
I dont need to remind you
If you talk in your sleep dont mention my name
If you walk in your sleep forget where you came
Love is so much sweeter when its borrowed
Ill feel a little easier tomorrow
Dont give our secret away, be careful what you say
If you talk in your sleep dont mention my name
If you walk in your sleep forget where you came
Forget where you came, now
Forget where you came
Dont mention my name
Dont mention my name
Forget where you came

Dontcha Want Me Now?
Verse1:
Im evasive Im cool and Im nobodys fool
And Im layin it on the line
You looked a mess
Cause my little black dress
Stopped you on a dime
Dont even try it your ticket has expired
And Im just too tired to dance
Even if you want me
Youre not gonna get me
Cause baby you had your chance
Chorus:
Dont you want me now
Now that Im trying not to try so hard
Dont you want me now
Dont you wonder how
You couldve pushed this naive girl
To go so lowdown
The tables are turned somehow
Dont you want me now
Verse2:
Its not really me its somebody else
But Im lovin her just the same
The look on your face
When I walked in this place
Will remain forever on my brain
Cause the jokes on you
And its long overdue
Tell me can you take the heat
Wanting to hassle the king in his castle
Revenge never tasted so sweet
Chorus
Bridge:
Who cares who wins cause just the same
Im not into baby games
Yet you once swept me off my feet
Now look whos in the drivers seat
Chorus:
Now, now that Im trying not to try so hard
Dont you want me now
Dont you wonder how
You couldve pushed this naive girl
To go so lowdown
The tables are turned somehow
Dont you want me now
Dont you want me now
Dont you want me now
Dont you want me baby
Dont you want me now
Dont you
Dont you want me now
Oh, yeah

Man In The Street
Im not a happy guy
But Im not always sad
And Im no millionaire
But I dont do so bad
But no matter who you think you are
Theres always someone with a different view
Theres always someone thinks hes got a right
To say whats good for you
So how do you know
That the man in the street dont care
And why dont you care
When the man in the street dont know
Anyway
Im not a clever guy
But Im sure not that dumb
Dont have the inside news
But I know what goes on
And if you put your faith in God above
Or if you watch the skies for superman
Theres always times when you can see the answers
Slip right through their hands
So how do you know
That the man in the street dont care
And why dont you care
When the man in the street dont know
Anyway
So no matter who they think they are
As they tell you who to fight or how to dance
Why dont you give yourself a break
And give us all a chance
cause how do you know
That the man in the street dont care
And why dont you care
When the man in the street dont know

Dont Stand Another Chance
Standin at the edge of time bout to lose my mind
cause you try to take him away from me, I wont let it be
You just walk into my life and try to take away my only prize
But you better give credit cause his love is right here for me
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
He belongs to me, just wait and see
Take him in my arms, give him love, not too much of me
Nothin you can do or say to make him look your way
So you better give credit cause its gonna come walking my way
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance (ohh)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
You dont stand another chance
Sit and wait at home bout to leave me alone (I know baby)
Youll be with him when hes up, not down, to keep him on the ground
Let me tell you something, its true, hes not in love with you
So you better give credit cause its nothing coming down your way
You dont stand another chance (not a chance, baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (baby) you dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
Well, you know somebodys gotta lose
We all cant win... maybe next time, okay
You guys are confusing
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (another chance)

Pray A Little Faster
Breath deep and fill your lungs
In your native or in your second tounge
Pig-latin or pigeon
Just get religion
Pray a little faster
Cmon pray a little faster
Pray a little faster
We got to far to run
Forget about the girls and forget about the boys
Turn off the tv and put away your toys
You cant do what you want to do
So get out your voodoo
Come on
Pray a little faster

I Pray
When I was young I dreamed about
Oh so many places
When I was young I never thought Id be afraid
The years go by and with them comes
Oh so many changes
You know what I mean
I pray theres another day
Sunshine on the morning water
What a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray
And in my youth I realized nothing lasts forever
I find myself remembering those happy days
Follow me, Ill show you all the colors of the rainbow
You know what I mean
I pray theres another day
Sunshine on the morning water
What a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray
Dont wait, dont be late
You dont have a second left to hesitate
Walk, talk, do it all
Nothing you can do will break the fall
Turn and turn
Tell me what are you seeing
Clear your mind
If you want to be free
Be there
Turn around expectations
Say goodbye to complications
Be there, be there
I pray theres another day
Sunshine on the morning water
What a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray
I pray
I pray
I pray theres another day
Sunshine on the morning water
What a day was yesterday, hmm
I pray there will be an answer
I pray
I pray
I pray
I pray theres another day
I pray there will be an answer

On The Day
You really need someone on your side
But you run away and hide
Whenever somebodys going to get through
Youve got this wall in front of you
You put your arm around me and smile
But youre thinking all the while
Yeah, your friends only go so far
However close friends think they are
On the day
On the day you fall in love
Gonna pray
Youre gonna pray that your love is enough
Youve had the world in the palm of your hand
Since you turned from child to man
No one can tell you a thing you dont know
You see your life as a one man show
But youre not whole
There are things you dont control
Youre going to know what Im talking about
On the day love finds you out
On the day
On the day you fall in love
Gonna pray
You better pray--
Its your life, you try to know
Which way the answers lie, which way to go
cause you survive, dont mean you grow
Open your eyes, look out below
Look out--
On the day
On the day you fall in love
Gonna pray
You better pray
On the day
On the day you fall in love
Gonna pray
You better pray

Pray
Never much of a hope for men
Nothing good to say
But I couldnt help it
When I saw her
I had to know if
She dont know where to go
She dont know how to stay
And she dont know how good I can be
Or how much I can pray
I pray
And soon I know her a little more
Shes everything I dreamed
But still I wonder what it would be like
If she left me
She dont know where to go
She dont know how to stay
But she dont know how good I can be
Or how much I still pray
I pray
There must be something thats folowing her
That keeps her from this state
There must be something that makes me want to
Pray
Pray
I pray
She says shes all right but shes not sure
And Im not sure what that means
She says shes all right but she needs some help
I dont know how
I dont know how
I dont know how

Pray your dreams be fulfilled
Pray for help from God above
Pray a shattered world rebuild
Pray with me, that all are fed
Pray our Lord God will listen
Pray we see what lay ahead
Pray our mortal souls be risen
Pray for all who now do suffer
Pray for respite from their pain
Pray empathy provides a buffer
Pray for those few gone insane
Believe sincere prayers always work
Believe prayer lights where Satan lurks

Dont You Want Me
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up, and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on youve got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But dont forget its me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too
Dont, dont you want me?
You know I cant believe it when I hear that you wont see me
Dont, dont you want me?
You know I dont believe you when you say that you dont need me
Its much too late to find
You think youve changed your mind
Youd better change it back or we will both be sorry
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew Id find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now I think its time I lived my life on my own
I guess its just what I must do
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh

All Day Long Doses
Pray!
Pray to pray for prayer.
Pray to stay there in prayer.
There is no time to find prayer.
You must pray to make prayer,
The only time you have.
The only key you need...
To unlock all that keeps you fed,
And nourished!
Pray to pray for prayer.
When you're there,
Stay!
Like every wish you keep that comes.
Prayer should be the only thing decided,
That's done every moment you breathe a breath
Of life.
Pray!
Pray to pray for prayer.
Stay there in it!
Take it with you
Like you take and do your faith...
In all day long doses!
Without fear you have taken too long of a break!

I Just Cant Make It By Myself

I need jesus to guide me every day
As Im travellin along this rough and narrow way
Though afflictions fill my soul
Im determined to make the goal
Ive gotta have jesus cause I just cant make it by myself
Every day I pray (pray) pray (pray)
Pray (pray) pray (pray)

Pray and ask the lord jesus
Dont leave me by myself
Every mornin through the years I pray
You know Ive got to have jesus

I Pray
When you hear them talking
Saying things that you dont understand
Just keep on walking
And tell em you dont give a damn!
Dont call me brother, I aint your brother
We need more than crime prevention
We need more than ecstasy
Well be needing police protection
Better keep your hands off me
And I pray, I pray
Ive been on my knees all day
And I pray, I pray
I hear every word you say
Take a look at that cat
Its a game they play with people
Kiss and count the enemy
I dont cry when I feel the tension
I have state security
This aint a revolution
Thats just people talking
Aint a revolution
Say, say it again
If I never get caught
Ill be here all night
Doing things I know aint right
Fifty seven dreams ago
Thats the problem if youre slow
I aint your brother

Dont Talk About It
I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you smiling
My heart was terrorised
Lust among the millions
Another suicide
Chorus:
When I think that love was there
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it
A hand reached out to touch me
A letter hit the pile
I felt my life revolving
Like fingers in a dial
Just then I stopped believing
But only for a while
When I think that love was there
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it
When I think that love was there
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont give it up
Dont count on their loving
Dont give it up, dont try
Dont give it up
Dont count on their loving
Dont give it up, dont try
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
(chorus)
When I think that love was there
I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you crying
A victim of your pride
But you are no civilian
So open up your eyes

One More Chance
Written by anastacia newkirk - oji pierce
Can we talk a while?
cause I need you
Lord, I miss your smile
Said, I need you
I know Im not the same, ya see
If we could only be, the way it was
Then Id never let you go
Just one more chance
I know I was wrong
Dont give up so easily
Dont you know its killing me?
Just one more chance, to sing this song
Ill never let you down, no
Just one more chance
I know that I hurt you
Dont you realize?
Confused, thought we were through
Can I tell you that i, I never felt like this?
This pain, I cant ignore
I want you back, and Ill never let you go
Just one more chance
I know I was wrong
Dont give up so easily
Dont you know its killing me?
Just one more chance, to sing this song
Ill never let you down, no
Just one more chance
Its not the way we planned it
Or the way its gonna be
Just give me half a chance to make your heart believe
cause I know just how you feel
I can see it in your eyes
Theres nothing in this world
That can tear this love apart
Just one more chance
I know I was wrong
Dont give up so easily
Dont you know its killing me?
Just one more chance, to sing this song
Ill never let you down, no, no, no
No no no
One more chance
Dont give up so easily
Dont you know, dont you know
Its killing me?
To sing this song
Ill never let you down
Just one more chance
One more chance

Sleep Around
Do it like she like, do it like she like it {x4}
Chorus:
Do it like she like it
So your baby dont wanna sleep around
Give her what she want when she want
When it come 2 u, she down
Baby let me read her journal
Or should I say: she turned around and it was gone
The innuendo reads eternal
Or should I say: every other page Im on
When she come 2 cook your dinner
U can ask her if what I say is true
The secret will remain within her
But her shade of red will turn yours blue
Chorus
Maybe u recall last summer
When u saw her ridin in my car
A kiss or 2 later she was back in your bed
Smellin like a fallen star
Just because shes fine
U think she dont wine & dine with everyone u know
Oh, long as ure fooled, Im cool
She says she gonna put me in a video
U need 2...
Chorus
Oh yeah!
Sleep around, sleep around {x2}
Im the one who sent the herbs and a book on how 2 use them
Im the one who pointed out her fears and how 2 lose them
And if a difference love will make
This advice u oughta take
Baby let me read her journal
Or should I say: she turned around and it was gone
The innuendo reads eternal
Or should I say: every other page Im on
U need 2...
Do it like she like, do it like she like it (sleep around) {x3}
Do it like she like it, like it, like it...
Do it like she like it
So your baby dont wanna sleep around
Give her what she want when she want it
When it come 2 u, she down
Sleep around, sleep around
Do it like she like it
So your baby dont wanna sleep around
(Im watchin u, baby) (do it like she like it, do it)
Give her what she want when she want it
When it come 2 u, she down
(do it like she like)
Sleep around, sleep around
Do it like she like, do it like she like it {x4}
(sleep around) {x5}
Do it like she like {x5}
Do it like she like it
Do it like she like
Do it {x10}
Do it like she like it (sleep around)

One More Chance
I turned around too late to see the fallen star
I fell asleep and never saw the sun go down
I took your love for granted
Thought luck was always on my side
I turned around too late and you were gone
Chorus:
So give me one more chance
Darlin if you care for me
Let me win your love
cause you were always there for me
If you care for me,
Be there for me
I like to play the queen of hearts and never thought Id lose
I rolled the dice but never showed my hand
I planned it out so perfectly,
So youd never leave a girl like me
I was a fool, but now I understand
(chorus)
Here is the law of the land
You play with fire and youll get burned
Here is the lesson Ive learned
That you dont know what youve got til its gone
(chorus, without last two lines)
Gimme one more chance
Tell me that its not too late
Let me win your love
Darlin please dont hesitate
If you care for me,
Be there for me
Give me one more chance

Sometimes I Pray
Sometimes I pray before I sleep;
Sometimes I pray, the lord; my soul to keep,
Sometimes I pray.....
Sometimes I pray in the morning;
Sometimes I pray for those in mourning,
Sometimes I pray.....
Sometimes I pray for rain;
Sometimes I pray for nomore pain,
Sometimes I pray.....
Sometimes I pray before i eat;
Sometimes I pray for good bread and meat,
Sometimes I pray.....
Sometimes I pray, my baby; that you'll stay;
But only sometimes for these things do I pray,
For I talk to my Lord everyday...

A Question Of Faith
Ill crawl for you
Hurt if you want to
Ill be the thing that you feed.
Im not asking
For love or redemption
Ill sell my guilt to your need.
Ill breathe for you
Die if you want to
Ill mourn with you by my grave.
I dare you to judge me
Now God has disowned me
Ive come to you to be saved.
They say I sold my soul.
We all reap what we sow.
Ill shine for you
Burn if you want to
Youll be the prize for my pain.
Ill kill your god
And pray for salvation
Ill be the in to your sane.
Ill lie for you
Be your conscience in you
Sacrifice reason for shame.
I wont ask for
Faith or forgiveness
Ill be the blood in your veins.
They say I lost my way
Ill wait for judgement day.
Dont pray for my soul.
Dont pray for my soul.
Dont pray for my soul.
Dont pray for my soul.
Ill be your darkness
In the light
Ill be your vampire calling
In the dead of night
Ill be your demon
Shadow man
Ill be your one confession
And if I can
Ill be your nightmare
And scream for you
Ill be your one possesion
If you want me to
Ill be your secret
Memory,
Ill be your exhibition
Of atrocity.
They say I sold my soul.
We all reap what we sow.
They say I lost my way.
Ill wait for judgement day.
Dont pray for my soul.
Dont pray for my soul.
Dont pray for my soul.
Dont pray for my soul.
They kneel down, praise god
Shout allelujah,
Lift up their eyes when they pray.
When children kill children
Dont it make them wonder?
Dont it make them question their faith?
