(Chorus)
Stories told about it
There's been so many songs about it
Done read so many poems about it
I never want to be without it
I never want to be without it
Stories told about it
Searched high and low to be around ya
I thank my God I finally found you
I never want to be without you
I never want to be without you
‘Cause I’m tryin to find
What I been tryin to find
Hum..
(Verse 1)
My friendly friend said to me
Take my hand and you can see
I don't want to go
I don't want to go
I don't want to follow that lead
He left me a hand out for the free
While I wondered should I believe him
want to go
I don't want to go
If you gon turn around and leave
‘Cause I’m trying to find
What I been tryin to find
Love, love, love, love,
Love, love, love...
(Chorus)
I... was tryin to find
what I been tryin to find
Some kind of love that would last for all time
Oh and there he was, he looked me right in the eye
Love, love, love, love,
Love, love, love...
(Verse 2)
My friendly friend came to me
When I (was) heavied by deceiving
Was so bright
So simple and kind
Turned out was exactly what I needed
Still left me his hand out for the free
Reached down and carried me to believing
Until I know now
What I know
A love can bloom so preciously

(Verse 1)
No cloud upon me
Got a
Braid in my hair
He said I was so pretty, so pretty, so pretty
Daybreak above me
Not a
Hint of despair,
and there was a
light for me, finally
shining
(Chorus)
Been dreaming of a sunny day
You know how they say
Chasing all the clouds away
He'll love me, lovely—
with family
Maybe dreams for me, not you
You know how we do
Just want a mile in new shoes
Of loving, loving,
and family
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry...
(Verse 2)
Time around me
Spinning past all day long
It says to me patiently,
Building its tapestry
Nights come upon you
But lights break at dawn
So just take it easily
Faith that it will be
(Chorus)
Been dreaming of a sunny day
Big hearts and laughs, I pray
You know, just how they say
He'll love me, lovely—
with family
Maybe dreams for me, not you
You know how we do
Just want a mile in new shoes
Of loving, loving,
and family
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry...

(Section A)
Lay it down, lay it down in front of me
I can see it, I can feel it,
I'm a tell you how its gonna be
You want a soul
You the man, you're the only man, that I see in front of me
I'm right beside you, force behind you
Got you covered here for 'round the world to see
You want a soul
(Section B)
Oh but when I need some air around me
Slow down a little bit
Oh a step back, a place for hiding
Cool down a little bit
You know to give her space for breathing
Take time, a little bit
Just go, go, go.
(Section A1)
Turn around, turn around so we agree?
I can hear it, built to bear it,
know exactly who you tryna be
You want a soul
You the man, you're the only man, that I see in front of me
I'm right beside you, force behind you
Got you covered here for 'round the world to see
You want a soul
(Section C)
My brother, brother
Man, I got the key
We’ll make it over so deliciously
True it was never built for you, or me
But I’m a tell you how it’s going to be
So come along with me
My brother, only
Milk and honey
A Reconstruction built especially
Atop a mountain crest for you, and me
So come we’ll show em how it’s gonna be
Why don’t you sing it with me?

Just Step Back
03:43

I tried it.
(Verse)
Mister, Mister—
how could you do me this way?
I thought it was good
I thought it was real
so I put down my walls,
and I did everything
I thought you might like—
acted so nice
it wasn’t me
but I put up a fight
because I wanted your attention
but you didn’t listen
so the story goes
now I’m in the same position,
of..
(Chorus)
Just step back
learn him first
I
try to figure out
and
don’t get hurt
Just step back
learn him first
I
try to figure out
and I really wish,
I wish I was right this time
(Bridge)
Well, I’m giving it up
Giving it up
Giving it up
