Hope For Haiti Now Compilation Album

Sometimes I feel like I don't belong anywhere
It's gonna take so long for me to get to somewhere

Sometimes I feel so heavy hearted
But I can't explain cause I'm so guarded
But that's a lonely road to travel
And a heavy load to bear

And it's a long, long way to heaven
But I gotta get there...
Can you send an angel?
Can you send an angel?

Cause I don't wanna feel
Like a dove with no wings
And I don't wanna know
What a heart of stone sings

But that's a lonely road to travel
And a heavy load to bear
And it's a long, long way to heaven
But I gotta get there

Can you send an angel?
Can you send me an angel?
Please send me an angel
Can you send me an angel?

My song is love
Love to the lovely song
And it goes on
You don't have to be alone
Your heavy heart
Is made of stone
And it's so hard to see you clearly
You don't have to be on your own
You don't have to be on your own

And I'm not gonna take it back
And I'm not gonna say I don't know now
You're a target that I'm aiming at
Take my message home

My song is love
My song is love, unknown
But I'm on fire for you, clearly
You don't have to be on your own
You don't have to be on your own

And I'm not gonna take it back
Oh I'm not gonna say I don't know now
You're a target that I'm aiming at
And I'm nothing on my own
Got to get that message home

And I'm not gonna stand and wait
Not gonna be there until it's much too late
On a platform I'm gonna stand and say
That I'm nothing on my own
And I love you, please come home

And my song is love, is love unknown

One, two, three, four

Hey we shall overcome, we shall overcome
We shall overcome someday
Darlin' here in my heart, yeah I do believe
We shall overcome someday

Well we'll walk hand in hand, we'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand someday
Darlin' here in my heart, yeah I do believe
We'll walk hand in hand someday

Well we shall live in peace, we shall live in peace
We shall live in peace someday
Darlin' here in my heart, yeah I do believe
We shall live in peace someday

Well we are not afraid, we are not afraid
We shall overcome someday
Yeah here in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome someday

Hey we shall overcome, we shall overcome
We shall overcome someday
Darlin' here in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome someday
We shall overcome someday

We have time for racism
We have time for criticism
Held bondage by our ism's
When will there be a time to love

We make time to debate religion
Passing bills and building prisons
For building fortunes and passing judgments
When will there be a time to love

At this point in history
We have a choice to make
To either walk a path of love
Or be crippled by our hate

We have time to cause pollution
We have time to cause confusion
All wrapped up in our own illusions
When will there be a time to love

We have time to conquer nations
Time for oil exploration
Hatred, violence and terrorism
When will there be a time to love

At this moment in time
We have a choice to make
Father God is watching
While we cause mother earth so much pain
It's such a shame

Not enough money for
The young, the old and the poor
But for war there is always more
When will there be a time to love

We make time for paying taxes
Or paying bills and buying status
But we will pay the consequences
If we don't make the time to love

Now's the time to pay attention
Yes now is the time to love, love
A time love, love
A time to love

Please won't you tell me
When will there be a time to love
Please won't you tell me
When will there be a time to love

Please won't you tell me
When will there be a time to love
Please won't you tell me
When will there be a time to love

A time to love, love
A time to love, love
A time to love, love

A time to love

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you

And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you

And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you....

(PIANO)
WHOOAOO

Sometime I feel
Like a motherless Child
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
And sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
A long...long way...from home

WHOOAOO

And Sometimes i feel
Like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel WHOAOAO
Like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel yeahehe
Like I'm All Alone
A long...a looong wayee from home

C'mon, C'mon
Whos Got A Shoulder When I need to cry
I feel restless and I don't know why
Cry for help, but still feel alone
Like A motherless child along way from home
Lord I'm lost I can't find my way
I'm Dealin With The Struglles in my day to day
My Soul Is Weak and I wanna be strong
I try to run away but I've been running to long

I've been running to long...
I've Been running to long

HEEY

Whos Got A Shoulder When I Need To Cry
I feel restless and I don't know why
Cry for help, but I still feel alone
Like A motherless child along way from home
Lord I'm lost I can't find my way
I'm Dealin With The Struglles in my day to day
My Soul Is Weak and I wanna be strong
I try to run away but I've been running to long

I've been running to long...
I've Been running to long
Like A Motherless Child (X4)
So Lost And so long
Like a motherless Child

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh hard times come again no more.

[Chorus:]
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh hard times come again no more.

While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
There are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh hard times come again no more.

[Chorus x2]

So many days you have lingered all around my cabin door;
Oh hard times come again no more....

Last night, all smiles, we were holding hands.
And now you, wont share the bed with me,
Explain if you can.

We may not agree on this, but lets not fight.
Because who cares who is wrong or right? i
Feel like i can't breathe like this - your
Grip is too tight.

Taken by surprise, because i felt so secure.
Because all the things, that you've done,
Have let me wondering.

We may not agree on this, but lets not fight.
Because who cares who is wrong or right? i
Feel like i can't breathe like this - your
Grip is too tight.

You leave me breathless with your words

We can say that we've changed, together,
Another day - give me your hand, let me
Explain, because i've come to terms with
Who you are.

We may not agree on this, but lets not fight.
Because who cares who is wrong or right? i
Feel like i can't breathe like this-your grip
Is too tight - let's not fight. your grip is too,
Is too - tight.

You leave me breathless with your words.

So the pain begins
As the music fades
And I'm left here with
With more than I can take

If you lift me up
Just get me through this night
I know I'll rest tomorrow
And I'll be strong enough to try

When the static clears
And all is said and done
A will realize
That we all need someone

If you lift me up
Just get me through this night
I know I'll rest tomorrow
And I'll be strong enough to try

So when you see me crashing
And there's nowhere left to fall
Will you lift me even higher
To rise above this all

If you lift me up
Said if you lift me up

Said if you lift me up
Will it be higher

When you see me crashing
And theres nowhere left to fall
Will you lift me even higher
To rise above this all

If you lift me up
Said if you lift me up
If you lift me up
Just get me through this night

How can you say that your not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction?
What should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears

Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existence is reduced
To a shallow, meaningless party
Seems that when some innocents die
All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food
'Cause this is what we've seen
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears

Protest is futile
Nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world?
Who knows what to do?
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears

Remember those walls I built

Well baby they tumbling down

And they didn’t even put up a fight

They didn’t even make a sound

I found a way to let you in

But I never really had a doubt

Standing in the light of your halo

I got my angel now



Bridge:

It’s like I’ve been awakened

Every rule I had you breaking

It’s the risk that I’m taking

I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I’m looking now

I’m surrounded by your embrace

Baby I can see your halo

You know you’re my saving grace

You’re everything I need and more

It’s written all over your face

Baby I can feel your halo

Pray it won’t fade away



Chorus:

I can’t feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo



Hit me like a ray of sun

Burning through my darkest night

You’re the only one that I want

Think I’m addicted to your light

I swore I’d never fall again

But this don’t even feel like falling

Gravity can’t forget

To pull me back to the ground again





Bridge:

Feels like I’ve been awakened

Every rule I had you breaking

The risk that I’m taking

I’m never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I’m looking now

I’m surrounded by your embrace

Baby I can see your halo

You know you’re my saving grace

You’re everything I need and more

It’s written all over your face

Baby I can feel your halo

Pray it won’t fade away



Chorus:

I can feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

Halooooo ouuuu

Halooooo ouuuu

Ouuuuu ouuuuu ouuuuu



Bridge:

Everywhere I’m looking now

I’m surrounded by your embrace

Baby I can see your halo

You know you’re my saving grace

You’re everything I need and more

It’s written all over your face

Baby I can feel your halo

Pray it won’t fade away



Chorus:

I can feel your halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

[Sheryl Crow:]
Sometime in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

[Kid Rock:]
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

[Keith Urban:]
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show

[Together:]
Just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

[Kid Rock:]
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
[Keith Urban:]
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
[Kid Rock & Keith Urban:]
Somebody to lean on

[Together:]
Just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

[Sheryl Crow:]
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

[Together:]
Call me, call me, call me...
[repeat till end]

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

[Chorus:]

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

[chorus]

Like a child you whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream, no end and no beginning
You're here with me, it's like a dream
Let the choir sing

[chorus]

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

[originally performed by Jimmy Cliff]

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Knowing I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of dover

Yes, I got many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
Lovers left me, I don't know why
So I guess I'm gonna have to cry (oh, God, help me!)

So many rivers to cross, but...
But just where do I begin I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

There are many rivers to cross
There are many many many many many many many rivers
But I got to... I have to... I must... (oh, God, help me!)
I got to find my way away

(This live version of the Haiti benefit recording is performed by Bono, the Edge, Jay-Z, and Rihanna)

Yeah, yeah

The sky falls and
The earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won't break
The sky falls and
The earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won't break

Sa Pa Sé
A port of princes
A Haitian goddess
And all of my princesses
Our condolences
As we fight against this
We're right by your side
While we trying to make sense of this
Heavenly father
Help us see through these problems
And put those that left
Accept them into your garden
So, here's my theory
The country's already starving
So we sacrifice many
To shed light on all of them
Y'all please
I speak from my heart
The only way I can see this tragedy befalling
So let's get involved with it
Hand to hand, arm to arm with it
To make it strong again
When the sky falls

Not tomorrow
Can't wait until tomorrow

Haiti, mon amour
Haiti, mon amour
Not gonna leave you stranded
Oh no, oh no, oh no

The sky falls and
The earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won't break
The sky falls and
The earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won't break

We learned from the past
New Orleans was flooded
So we know we just can't rely on the government
Under the rubble
Here we going rumbling
When we gonna catch a break
A friend lost his mother and then
Colleen lost her uncles again
Buried with no caskets
They just put covers on them
A tense call, I'll be right back
Still it can't end, no, not like that
No, not like this
The smallest survivors are gonna carry on your name
The broadest silence
Your memory's alive with us
You inspired us to rebuild this country
You just guide us when the sky falls

Not tomorrow
Can't wait until tomorrow

Haiti, mon amour
Haiti, mon amour
Not gonna leave you stranded
Hey, not gonna leave you stranded
Oh no, oh no

It's not the angels that are on their way
It's not the bells of Santa Trinité
The people waiting, positions vacant
For hands to help, not just to pray

Haitia, mi amour
Haiti, mon amour
Not gonna leave you stranded
Hey, not gonna leave you stranded

Not gonna leave you, oh no
Not gonna leave you, oh no

Oh no, oh no
The earth quakes
Oh no, not gonna leave you
We gonna put this back together
Not gonna leave you
We won't break
The sky falls and
The earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won't break

Born in the springtime when blossoms unfold
Pastures were green and the meadows were gold
My life was in flowers some grew on
And life like the leaves is now withered and gone

Roses have died and left us alone
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore
The grass in the valley has started to die
Out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry

[Refrain:]
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
Oh, Lord, if you hear me please hold my hand
Please understand

Oh, where have you gone, where can you be
Have you forsaken some others like me
A promise to honor, to love and obey
Is each vow a plaything that you thrown away

Refrain [x2]

The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray
A hound in the distance beginning to bey
I wonder, I wonder - what you're thinking of
Forsaken, forgotten - without any love

Refrain [x2]

Alone and forsaken [x3]

By the rivers of Babylon,
there we sat down
yeah we wept,
when we remembered Zion.
By the rivers of Babylon,
there we sat down
yeah we wept,
when we remembered Zion.
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song
in a strange land
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song
in a strange land

Let the words of our mouths
and the meditations of our hearts
be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
Let the words of our mouths
and the meditations of our hearts
be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
By the rivers of Babylon,
there we sat down
yeah we wept,
when we remembered Zion.
By the rivers of Babylon,
there we sat down
yeah we wept,
when we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon,
there we sat down
yeah we wept,
when we remembered Zion.
By the rivers of Babylon,
there we sat down
yeah we wept,
when we remembered Zion.
By the rivers of Babylon,
there we sat down
yeah we wept,
when we remembered Zion.
when we remembered Zion.

Yo, yo, I wanna give a shout out to the world
This is Wyclef, cold-chillin' out here with my pina-colada
Yeah, baby I'm in the islands, cold relaxin'
Right about now the carnival's gonna change phases

If you got your ticket, man, you're allowed to come with me
Yo, for right now I'm gonna chill in the beach
Check out the pretty girls layin' back, you know how we do, playa yo
I'm out here in the sun, baby, it's all good
