Denison Marrs - Keeping It Cool lyrics

rate me

i wish i could've talked with you if i had the chance

i would've walked with you

i could've watched you live

and watched you changing lives with how you'd always give

no matter what the price

i wish i could've been with you

when all those hypocrites would run to come at you

i could've heard you say the simple brilliant words that'd make them turn away

and think their hate to be absurd

how did you always stand your ground so well

when they came at you

how did you always seem to know just what to say and what to do

i wish i could've followed you

and felt the peace you'd give to who acknowledged you

i would've watched you close

remembering all you'd do

practicing what you preached

trying to follow through

i wish i could've known your face

and joined right by your side

loving the human race no matter what the cost

your strength always in place no matter how'd they hate

you'd always show them grace

how did you always stand your ground so well

when they came at you

how did you always seem to know just what to say and do

how did you always turn it around when they tried to play you for a fool

how did you always know when to run

when to love, when to rage and when to keep your cool

when they came running with their fingers pointing away from their own hands

you turned them around without making a sound

what was it that you wrote in the sand when they came blaming

with their fists raising and their voices loud with betrayl and hate

you took the fall to make a way for us all

how sweet the sound of your amazing grace!
