I haven’t slept for days,
I got you on my mind,
Block the sun with these shades,
That I hide behind,
Yeah, I’m on the right path,
But you’re leading me astray,
Sure, I try to hide it,
But you’re too good at bringing out the bad in me.

Bringing out the bad in me,
Bringing out the bad in me,
Bringing out the bad in me,
Yeah, you’re too good at bringing out the bad in me.

Thought I was free from these chains,
But I’m back to old ways,
It runs deep in my veins,
And leaves a bitter taste,
Yeah, I’m the boss man,
But who’s the boss of me?
I used to call the shots,
But you’re too good at bringing out the bad in me.

Bringing out the bad in me,
Bringing out the bad in me,
Bringing out the bad in me,

Yeah you’re too good at bringing out the bad in me

I had a dream of the future
Storm clouds had gathered above

A blues that spread like a wildfire

'could only beat this with love

I’m gonna fight this and be strong
No fear gonna come round my way

Together we'll fight the battle
Blues you’ve out welcomed your stay

Gonna tilt my face up,

The future’s bright ahead,

Gotta get my hope on

Gonna lift my head high,

Gotta get my faith strong

Can I get an oh yeah,

Blues go away

Sun’s gonna shine, things'll get better

Clouds gotta get moving on
We conquer this thing together
Blues gonna go, gonna stay strong

Blues gonna go, gonna stay strong

Soul Sister, won’t you talk to me
Noose around my neck, the way it’s always been
And I can’t get ahead, ‘cause I keep slip slip slipping away
Soul Brother won’t you walk with me
Weights around my feet the way it’s always been
And I can’t get ahead, ‘cause I keep slip slip slipping away yeah
Be thankful for the lot that you’ve got and no more
Be thankful for the lot that you’ve got and no more, no more, no more.

I'm going back home this time,
Way back to where I belong,
I left a long time ago,
Don't recognise it no more,

Woah Yeah Yeah

She left me nothing to keep, Yeah,
Shot like a dog in the street,
But I trust her every time,
Can't get the girl off my mind,

Woah Yeah Yeah

So much for a happy end,
Took right off with my best friend,
Now I'm going home again,
For the first time in a while,

I'm going back home this time,
Way back to where I belong,
I left a long time ago,
Don't recognize it no more

I’ll wait for you old friend
It’s been so long again.
And as we travel on,
So, I’m told, it won’t be long.
But know this brother
Soon we’ll be back home.

I’ll carry you once more
As we roll along this dusty floor.
I’ll see you safely there,
For I know, your dreams are near.
But know this brother
Soon we’ll be back home.

As we see the shore
This year’s been hard, but there’ll be more.
I see the light of dawn
And as we march it matters not.
But know this brother
Soon we’ll be back home.

I wouldn’t mind dancing like we own the place,
Running from another race.
But you, wouldn’t see, prancing like you own the place.
Trying to fake a friendly face.
And I’m free,
singing for today
Singing all the same
I’m not yet far away.
But could it be I’m free?
Singing for today?
Singing all the same
I’m heading far away.

So, it wouldn’t dry. Find the time another day.
Fill the hole another way.
They’re asking how will it work?
Finally slip away again.
Trying to find my way again.
And I’m free…
Don’t follow me anywhere
Don’t say “how will I find my way back home?” today.
Nobody really knows me anyway
Don’t want to stay so I’m on my way from home, I’m far away.

Wake up and see a brand-new day
And wave my old life away
The sun now shines where there was dark
I see new hope, a little spark.

Lo and behold, another year
This time I feel nothing to fear
I set my sights out from the shore.

It feels like starting over
I get a little bit closer
To another adventure
I feel a change in the weather.

Wake up and see a new blue sky
Brush off all fear and any lies
The grass now grows never like before.

Have you ever heard
Of another faithful preacher
Telling all to adhere, cos they’re living the wrong way?
Were you told not to trust
Those with different skin to us
By some self-obsessed opinionist?
Well this is what I’d say.

It’s not the time or the place for what you’re saying
It’s not the day or the year.
Don’t bring your ugly thinking here.
Just stop the hurt that you’re hissing
And all the filth that you’re insisting.
It’s not the time or the place for what you’re preaching.

Do you ever feel
Love with conditions just isn’t real?
Have your friends been told that they pray to the wrong king?
Has it been said that you’re not trusted?
That your life don’t cut the mustard?
Well my friends, let’s stand together
Oh, and this is what we’ll sing.
