High Priestess Of Soul

Nina simone

Come ye ye who would have peace
Hear me what i say now
I say come ye ye who would have peace
It's time to learn how to pray

I say come ye ye who have no fear
What tomorrow brings child
Start praying for a better world
Or peace and all good things

I say come ye ye who still have hope
That we can still survive now
Let's work together as we should
And fight to stay alive

I say come ye ye who would have love
It's time to take a stand
Don't mind abuse it must be paid
For the love of your fellow man

I say come ye come ye
Who would have hope
Who would have hope
Who would have hope
Who would have hope

Oscar brown jr, nat adderley

Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
Breaking rocks and serving my time
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang
Because they done convicted me of crime
Hold it steady right there while i hit it
Well reckon that ought to get it
Been
Working and working
But i still got so terribly far to go

I commited crime lord i needed
Crime of being hungry and poor
I left the grocery store man bleeding (breathing?)
When they caught me robbing his store
Hold it steady right there while i hit it
Well reckon that ought to get it
Been
Working and working
But i still got so terribly far to go

I heard the judge say five years
On chain-gang you gonna go
I heard the judge say five years labor
I heard my old man scream "lordy, no!"
Hold it right there while i hit it
Well reckon that ought to get it
Been
Working and working
But i still got so terribly far to go

Gonna see my sweet honey bee
Gonna break this chain off to run
Gonna lay down somewhere shady
Lord i sure am hot in the sun
Hold it right there while i hit it
Well reckon that ought to get it
Been
Workin' and workin'
Been
Workin' and slavin'
An'
Workin' and workin'
But i still got so terribly far to go

Angelo badalamenti, john clifford

I hold no grudge
There's no resentment und'neath
I'll extend the laurel wreath and we'll be friends
But right there is where it ends

I hold no grudge
And i'll forgive you your mistake
But forgive me if i take it all to heart
And make sure that it doesn't start again

Yes i'm the kind of people
You can step on for a little while
But when i call it quits
Baby that's it
I'm the kind of people
You can hurt once in a while
But crawling just ain't my style

I hold no grudge
Deep inside me there's no regrets
But a gal who's been forgotten may forgive
But never once forget

i'm the keeper of the flame
My torch of love lights his name
Ask no pity, beg my shame(?)
I'm the keeper of the flame

Played with fire and i was burn
Gave a heart but i was spurn
All these time i have yearned
Just to have my love return

Years have passed by
The spark still remains
True love can't die
It smoulders in flame
When the fire is burning off
And the angels call my name
Dying love will leave no doubt
I'm the keeper of the flame

Years have passed by
The spark still remains
True love can't die
It smoulders in flame
When the fire is burning out
And the angels call my love
Dying love will leave no doubt
I'm the keeper of the flame
