I was so lonely, though there was so many symbols waiting,
I 'm so glad that this ain't that.
Girl your the reason I can make it through the long, long day and that's a fact.
Baby I can't wait to get next to you; oh I can't wait to wrap my arms around your body.
Baby I can't help but to tell the truth.
Oh, it's so hard to wait till no one else is around.

(Chorus)

Gonna try to keep myself together, till I find myself in you.
Baby, naw, naw
Before they take you back to heaven, gonna find myself in you, naw
Naw

I hate to keep you waiting, but there are some things that need my attention,
before I can get back to you, anticipating my hands all over your body baby, you know,
I know just what to do. And baby I can't wait to get next to you,
oh I can't wait to wrap my arms around your body, baby I can't help but to tell the truth.
Oh it's so hard to wait till no one else is around.

(Chorus)

I'm gonna try to keep myself together, till I find myself in you, baby naw, naw.
Before they take you back to heaven, gonna find myself in you.
No, No, No, No, baby

Thee, only place I want to be is right here with you,
loving you down and you, you can take what you want from me,
long as you let me hang around.

(Chorus)

I'm gonna keep myself together, till I find myself in you.
Oh baby, before they take you back to heaven, gonna find myself in you.
Oh baby, gonna keep myself together, till I find myself in you, oh baby, baby,
before they take you back to heaven, gonna find myself in you.

Listen, Listen, ahh baby, baby...

(feat. Mary Mary)

[Mary Mary:]
I know the Lord, will make a way
He will make a way, yessssssss he will
Yessssss, he willlllll

Ohhh, I do believe that we will make it
Yeahhh, yeahhh, yeahhh, yeahhhh

[LL Cool J:]
Uhh uhh
I was at rock bottom, my whole life was mo' problems
Reincarnation of a slave pickin cotton
Stress beamin down like the sun I felt rotten
To the core, was at war, cause the enemy is plottin
I hear him knockin, sayin that we got him
Hot like solar, he wanna burn my soul up
World on my shoulders but I roll back ya boulders
Words have a funny way of comin back to scold ya
Watch what come out of your mouth, you crack a molar
I tried to told ya, hehehe
Enemies gunnin, true believers ain't runnin
Or duckin, we ain't scared of nuttin, ya feel me?
They wanna test me and press my buttons, oh really?
Allow Uncle L to hip y'all to somethin, uhh, uhh
Yeah, uhh, check it out
There's a living power, make a man out a coward
Rebuild your strength like the new Trade Towers
I thought that I was over, my life got devoured
Now I'm on top and I pray for all the doubters
Time to shout it, sing it louder

[Chorus - Mary Mary:]
Yeahhhhh, we're gonna make it
We're gonna make it (we're gonna make it)
Thank God we made it (yeahhhhhhhhhhh)
And I mean it, yeah yeah, oh yeah

[LL Cool J:]
I was feelin like my whole world was spinnin and spillin
On the ground and that God wasn't willin
It seemed like the only ones ballin was the villains
Dollar signs in they eyes, lyin to our chill'un
I wanna kill 'em, I'd rather God hit 'em
They sellin venom and we buyin it like denim
These world wide webs they weave, we caught in 'em
Old folks is dyin and CEO's skimmin
The bat's in your hand and this is the 9th inning
Keep your eyes on the ball when you swingin
Don't be confused, don't be fooled by the wind-up
Start switchin your position, make your mind up
Pull your bootstraps tight, get your grind up
Get your life lined up before time's up
Yo, yo, you know what?
Take ten percent of that, dough you tryin to stack
Send it up to God, I guarantee he send it back
Multiply it by a hundred times, y'all remember that
That's just a little jewel to get the monkey off your back
Uhh, yeah, sing it out now

[Chorus with ad libs]

[LL Cool J:]
In the darkest valley, through the loneliest alley
Never give up, press on through the storm
Weepin man fall, for the night seem long
But if you stand strong joy come within the morn'
And it goes, on and on and on and on and on and-ah
I know it feels like your back's to the wall
Who's sittin in the crib, and you don't know who to call
(Jesus!) Hangin on a tight rope, fingers slippin off
But you ain't by yourself dawg, we all been lost
Stay on your course, carry your cross
Ain't no stoppin, got to keep it poppin
You want it, you can get it, believe me the king did it
Nothin gonna hold you back, there's no limits
I'm sent to bring truth to rap, not gimmicks
And I'm not finished, man listen
Here's the moral to the thesis, y'all cats need Jesus
He put your life back together, pick up the pieces
Word to the masses, I heard God asked us
For less fake rappers, and more real pastors
Uh-huh, uh-huh, so hereafter

[Chorus 2x with ad libs]

[Mary Mary + (LL):]
We made it, we made it
Through the storm and rain, yeahhhhhhh
You can make it, yes you can
You can make it, you got me
I know you can, I know you can
I know you can, yessssss, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I do believe we'll make it (Hallelujah!)
(Glory! Glory!)

When your heart is free
It's easy to make a decision
When your head is clear
You know you have good judgment
But when your life is turning topsy turvey
And you have know reasons for what's disturbing
Remember these words my father said to me

(Chorus)
He said: Keep your head up don't say you love him
Walk away from all that is hurting
Find your power you know your strong
Make that step and it will help you along

When your minds at peace
Sleep comes so very peacefully
When you start to dream
There wonderful end so very sweet
But when your life is turning topsy turvey
And you have no answers for what's disturbing
Remember these words a preacher said to me

(Chorus)
He said: Keep your head up don't say you love him
Walk away from all that is hurting
Find your power you know your strong
(Take that step)
Make that step and it will help you along (2x)

Why give up this time you can't win
(You can't win)
Why give up this battle is within
(Is within)
Why stay alone when he gonna do
Why choose him when its time to choose you

Keep your head up don't say you love him
Walk away from all that is hurting
Find your power you know your strong
Make that step it will help you along (2x)

Keep your head up (6x)

Every life needs another life
And every heart, another
And yours, just might, need mine..... tonight

Every day is a new day
And every hour is ours to share
And every heart needs another heart
And yours just might need mine tonight...baby, baby

Yours might need mine, tonight, baby.

Verse 2
Every one has heartache
And everyone gets lonely
And every love needs another love
And yours just might need mine tonight...

Yours just might need mine tonight- ohhhh

Everyone needs someone to talk to
Everyone needs, needs someone to love
Everyone life needs another life
And yours just might need mine tonight....

Yours just might need mine tonight.
Ad lib...

There are times
We might not see eye to eye
And there are times when we'll have differences

(Chaka Khan)
We cant be around too long before we fight
But it's okay
Cuz I love you anyway

(Gerald LeVert)
There are times
When You you don't know
How your gon make it through (gon make it through)
I know I've been there too

(Yolanda Adams)
You can always rest ashore
Don't be ashamed to share with me
See I am your family
Yeeeah

Chorus
Everyday(everday) should be(should be) a family reunion
We should speak
From the heart
And let love be the solution
Let us forgive (forgive)
Put the past out of the way(put the past out of the way)
No time to wait (no time to wait)
The time has come to give love everyday

(Carl Thomas)
There are times those times when you need to be heard and there are days some days when the pain is beyond words

(Yolanda Adams)
You hold it in
You run You hide
Cling on to pride when deep down you wanna cry

(Gerald LeVert)
There are times
bad times
When a secret needs revealing
and there are those
Those who know exactly what you're feeling

(Chaka Khan)
Come on home
There's always room
Someone to share everything that your going through oh oh

Chorus 2x
Everyday (everday) should be (should be) a family reunion
We should speak (in the morning in the evening)
From the heart
And let love be the solution
Let us forgive (forgive)

No time to wait (no time to wait)
The time has come to give love everyday

Love and happiness...
something that can make you do wrong, make you do right...
Love...

Love and happiness
Wait a minute...
something's going wrong
someone's on the phone
three o'clock in the morning
talkin' about how she can make it right
well,
happiness is when you really feel good with somebody
nothing wrong with being in one with someone
oh, baby, love and happiness
love and happiness...
love and happiness...

Love and happiness
You be good to me
I'll be good to you

make you come home early...
make you stay out all night long...
the power of love...

wait a minute,

make you want to dance...
love and happiness...

Mmmm....

Verse 1.
It seems like forever
That I have waited for you
In a world of disappointment
On thing is true
God has blessed me
And he's blessed you too
In a world of lonely people
I've found you.

Chorus:
Take my hand
And hold me close
And don't let me go.
You for me
And me for you
Together we'll make one

Verse 2.
We were once strangers
All by ourselves
Living, living alone
With no one else
But here you are
And it's so, so sweet
God must have done this
Made you for me
And oh.

Chorus:
Take my hand
Hold me close
Don't let go.
You for me
Me for you
Together we'll make one.

Bridge:
We were always sleeping
Under the same stars
Dreaming, dreams of love
Wondering where you are
How blessed I am
That I've found you
Now that you're here
I pray to say "I do"
Oh.

(Chorus twice)

Thanks to Meagan for these lyrics.

It's so nice to see
All the folks you love together
Sittin' and talkin' 'bout
All the things that's been goin' down

It's been a long, long time
Since we had a chance to get together
Nobody knows the next time we see each other
Maybe years and years from now

Family reunion (Got to have)
A family reunion
Family reunion
(It's so nice to come together) To come together
(To get together)

I wish grandma could see
The whole family
I sure miss her face
And her warm and tender embrace

And if grandpa was here
I know he'd be smiling for me a tear
To see what he has done
All the offsprings from his daughters and sons

A family reunion (Gonna have)
A family reunion (Ooh, ooh)
Family reunion
(It's so nice to come together) To come together
(To get together)

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
At least once a year we should have

Family reunion
A family reunion (We need to do it for the young )
Family reunion
(It'll be nice, it'll be nice to come together) To come together
To get together

Family reunion (Sister knows, heaven knows)
A family reunion (It's good to see you)
Family reunion (I said we are sinkin' hands, makin' plans)
(Maybe next year) To come together (Maybe next year)

A family reunion (Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...)
A family reunion (We gotta have, we gotta have)
Family reunion (It'll be nice, it'll be so nice)
(To come together) To come together
(To get together)

You know the family is the solution to the world's problems today
Now let's take a look at the family
In the family the father is like the head, the leader, the director
Not domineering, but showing love, guidance
For everyone else in the family
Now if we could get all the fathers of the world
To stand up and be fathers
That would be great
Then we have mothers
Who are the right arm of the father
There's supposed to-to-to do the cooking
Raise the children, do the sewing
And help the father to guide and direct
Then there's the son
The son, most sons are like imitators of their father
So we're back again to the father
And he is guiding in the right way
The son is definitely gonna be alright
Then we have the daughter
Watching her mother
Be-because sooner or later she's gonna be a mother
And she'll have her own sons and daughters
It don't, it don't just stop there with the family or
Of-of yours or mine
It's a universal family
Under one divine purpose
And one divine father
That is if we all come together no matter what color, race, creed
Because that's all in the head whether you wanna believe it or not
'Cause you'll bleed

Hoo...
Family, family reunion
It'll be nice, so nice, so nice

She gives her body freely cause she can't give herself completely
There are wounds in the way
She cannot bear to be naked to the world so instead she just fakes it with a man
There are wounds in the way

If they would have treated a little girl and a little boy when basically still just a baby
With some respect and human dignity
Maybe there wouldn't be so many failed relationships
We might even had a ghost of a chance of just loving each other - body, mind, and soul

He gives his money freely cause he can't give himself completely
There are wounds in the way.
He cannot bear to be honest with himself; so what the hell, he'll lie to a woman
There are wounds in the way

If they would have treated a little boy and a little girl when basically still just a baby
With some respect and human dignity
Maybe there wouldn't be so many failed relationships
We might even had a ghost of a chance of just loving each other - body, mind, and soul

As time passes by they begin to multiply
There are wounds in the way
Adding up secretly like the rings of an old oak tree
There are wounds in the way

Some old and some new, all stifling, debilitating and cruel
There are wounds in the way
And some are passed down from elder to youth - they don't even belong to you
There are wounds in the way

As time passes through, they begin to accrue a strange sort of value
Some that you think are worth holding onto
Cause you don't want to change who you are - no you don't

He loves her strong and true, but when he gets angry it gets misconstrued into violence
There are wounds . . .
And she loves him equally
But when she feels misunderstood instead of sharing openly and honestly
She is wounded.

There are wounds in the way (Repeat)
