Tell me I should stop, I should take the pain, I think it don't matter, I accept the blame, I'll be leaving soon, I got a lot to do. Show me what it takes, can you help my friend, I know we've been true, but a lot depends, can I count on you. To know that I'll see this through. Don't go saying what your not, Feel it every time I can put you on the spot. Take is as you will, I can take it cause I am not, Only respect is how me measure what we've got. Hear it in tongues I can hear in the wall, Happens every time that I gotta make a call, Knew there was time, I know I'll find my way back, Now that's its on, I know we are on the right track. Doing this for my life, doing this for the people, We can make it right, so we can see as equals, Doing this for my life, doing this for the people, Just get the balance right, we can all be equal. Tell me I should stand, I should keep the faith, I know I don't listen to the life she said, Cause I'm leaving soon, I got a lot to prove, Show me how to lead, how to take the steps, I know we all thought, but a lots been said, can I count on you. I know that we'll see this through. Don't go saying what your not, Feel it every time I can put you on the spot. Take is as you will, I can take it cause I am not, Only respect is how me measure what we've got. Hear it in tongues I can hear in the wall, Happens every time that I gotta make a call, Knew there was time, I know I'll find my way back, Now that's its on, I know we are on the right track. Doing this for my life, doing this for the people We can make it right, so we can see as equals. Doing this for my life, doing this for the people, Just get the balance right, we can all be equal. You know you need hope to give you meaning, Every little thing to make you feel, Just like you need love to climb the mountain, Now your drinking from the silver spring. You know you need hope to give you reason, Every little thing to make you feel. Just like you've been up and down that mountain. Now your drinking from the silver spring Doing this for my life, doing this for the people, We can make it right, so we can see as equals.
