Lenny Kravitz - Let Love Rule Lyrics
Sittin On Top Of The World
Sittin' on top of the world
Sittin' on top of the world
Remember the times we used to play
We'd sing and we'd dance all damn day
But all I do is sing the blues
But have I forsaken you by telling you
What you must do
And all I do is sing the blues
But I would never lie, let things go by
Leave you in road to die
I would never ever say good bye
Never gonna say good bye
Gonna never yeah, never,
Never, never, nev'
Never gonna say good bye
Oh ... yeah
Remember the times that we used to share
You got to remember the times
That we used to share
That we used to share
Yeah yeah
You got to remember the times
Remember the times
That we used to share
That we used to share
That we used to
Share
That we used to share
That we used to share
That we used to share
That we used to share
But the only way for you to survive
Is to open your heart it will guide
You wanna stay in this world of music and life
You got to turn around
And spread a little love and get high
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Get get high,
Get high.

Let Love Rule
Love is gentle as a rose
And love can conquer any war
It's time to take a stand
Brothers and sisters join hands
We got to let love rule
Let love rule
We got to let love rule
Let love rule
Love transcends all space and time
And love can make a little child smile
Oh can't you see
This won't go wrong
But we got to be strong
We can't do it alone
We got to let love rule
Let love rule
We got to let love rule
Let love rule

My Precious Love
You came to me like a dream
How would I know it was a scheme
To get me to you
Your eyes burned like fire
Through my heart
Although we were lifetimes apart
Making mistakes was my game
Oh your life, your life, I tried to rearrange
But now I know a better way
My my my my, my precious love
My my my my, my precious love
Now you're a woman
You've got a child
And those days, those days
Of being wild
They're gone with the past
But now baby
You still ain't got no home
All those endless nights you've had to roam
But I know a better way
My my my my, my precious love
My my my my, my precious love
Go henry
Yeah yeah yeah
My my my my my, my precious love
My my my my, my precious love
My my my my my my my precious love
My my my my, my precious love
You gonna make me yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ...

I Build This Garden For Us
I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us
I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us
In this garden
This lovely garden
I build a temple of love
Walk with the Father
Won't be a bother
To touch the Earth as it was
We'll farm the land each day
And in the sunshine we will play
Glory glory for the day He came
Our tears had gone away
We'll make love in the shade
And in the ocean we will bathe
Little fishies in the sea
Say hooray
I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us
I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us
In this garden
Our children will grow
Darling this is a must
We'll be so happy
Our little family
So full of love and trust
And darling when we're old
We'll close the gates and lock the door
Our love will never fade away
When it's pure it forever last
And darling when you're cold
I'll hold you tight and keep you warm
Little darlin' gonna make it through the storm
You'll never be alone
I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us
I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us
In this garden
They'll be no war
No racial prejudice
You'll be my brother
Of any color
You'll just be okay with us
We'll live each day in peace
In hope that we will one day reach
The rest of the world
When they are ready to be teached
The kingdom will come
Thy will will be done
On Earth as it is in heaven
I build this garden
I build this garden for us
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us
I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us
I build this garden, yeah
No war no more
Gonna build yeah
Yeah ouh.

Fear
I smell the fear that rains inside
The thought of children who must oblige
To tainted dreams and polluted seas
The missing moon and melting trees
A mist of doom and clouds of pain
A toxic waste and an acid rain
The passing of our ignorance
A lifetime spent in abstinence
I living in fear, I living in fear
I can't tell you no lies
I living in fear, I living in fear
Conditioned to hate and them to blame
Their search for God is just the same
Machines for hearts, how warped a view
Forgeting that they're human too
Waiting like a branded steer
Who first will launch the burning spear
When every day may be your last
You think we'd learn from our past
I living in fear, I living in fear
I can't tell you no lies
I living in fear, I living in fear
Ouh yeah yeah yeah yeah
I smell the fear that rains inside
The thought of so many lives denied
More wounded soldiers, another burning flag
And rows and rows of body bags
No time for tears as the night falls cold
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
The day survivors crawl back in their holes
As for the rest they're shipped back home
Home to the rows of white tomb stones
I living in fear, I living in fear
I can't tell you no, tell you no lies, yeah yeah
Fear, I living in fear
Ouh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Does Anybody Out There Even Care
The dream is lost
Don't let it slip away
Or bloody days won't be far away
'Cause when there's no more sun
There's no where you can run
Does anybody know how many lives we've lost
Can anybody ever pay the cost
What will it take for us to join in peace my friends
Does anybody out there even care
Wake up world before it's too late
It's time for love to conquer hate
And when the battle's won
We all can live as one
Does anybody know how many lives we've lost
Can anybody ever pay the cost
What will it take for us to join in peace my friends
Does anybody out there even care
Hey
Riots in the streets,
Men dressed in white sheets
Is that what we want
Oh a little boy hanging from a tree
And a burning cross
If we can learn that we're one we can overcome
Before this takes us all
We'd better catch ourselves before we fall
Does anybody know how many lives we've lost
Yeah hey hey hey
Can anybody ever pay the cost
What will it take for us to join in peace my friends
Does anybody out there even care
Does anybody out there even care

Mr. Cab Driver
Mr. Cab Driver won't you stop to let me in
Mr. Cab Driver don't like my kind of skin
Mr. Cab Driver you're never gonna win
Mr. Cab Driver won't you stop to pick me up
Mr. Cab Driver I might need some help
Mr. Cab Driver only thinks about himself
Here we go
Mr. Cab Driver, Mr. Cab Driver
Mr. Cab Driver, Mr. Cab Driver
Mr. Cab Driver don't like the way I look
He don't like dreads he thinks we're all crooks
Mr. Cab Driver reads too many story books
Mr. Cab Driver pass me up with eyes of fire
Mr. Cab Driver thinks we're all one sixty five'ers
Mr. Cab Driver f*ck you I'm a survivor
Oh yeah, one more time, ahah
Let me in
Mr. Cab Driver, Mr. Cab Driver
Mr. Cab Driver, Mr. Cab Driver

Rosemary
Little Mary was five years old
Her parents left her, she was out in the cold
Alone to live and find her way
In this great world of heartache and pain
Eyes of brown, matted locks of gold
Her flowered dress is tattered and soiled
Tear stained cheeks, her feet cold and bare
Who could have left a child so rare
Rosemary your day will come
He loved you so He gave His only son
Keep the faith in your soul
Stay down on your knees
I'm begging you please
Hold onto the beads at your heart
A burning heart and tired eyes
Howling winds for lullabys
No one there to soothe her fright
Nowhere to turn but the inward light
Because life is for believing
That your heart can turn to gold
All you need is Christ to receive it
There's eternal life for every soul
Rosemary your day will come
He loved you so He gave His only son
Keep the faith in your soul
Stay down on your knees
I'm begging you please
Hold onto the beads at your heart
Rosemary, Rosemary
He loves you
He needs you
He wants you
So don't let him down
Singing
Rosemary your day will come
He loved you so He gave His only son
Keep the faith in your soul
Stay down on your knees
I'm begging you please
Hold onto the beads at your heart
Yeah yeah,
Rosemary, singing, Rosemary
Rosemary
Rosemary, come on now yeah
Got to keep the faith yeah
Keep the faith

Be
Lord what's the matter
Am I lost
This life's a disaster, what is the cause
Am I a junkie, what is my fate
Or am I a flunkie who doesn't relate
Or am I a child so full of hate
Am I a doctor or even a priest
Or am I a rapist who needs a release
A psychotic prancer
Times Square dancer
The mind can see as long as you'll be
For real with yourself
And you'll forever be
Be, be, be, be
You'll forever be
Be, be, be, you'll forever you be
You'll forever be
When you're real with yourself
You'll forever be
Lord what's the matter am I insame
This life's an illusion that's all it remains
Are you listening, are you boss
Am I gonna make it up on that cross
Believe in Your name and
You'll forever be
Be, be, be, be
You'll forever be
Be, be, be, you'll forever be
Ever be, ever be
You'll forever be
You'll forever, ever, ever.
