Testo Jesus - Curtis Mayfield
Testo della canzone Jesus (Curtis Mayfield), tratta dall'album There's No Place Like America Today
Maybe the words I say is just another way to pray, I don't know
Don't think that I'm innocent because I can't do nothing for you
I only ask of you just as I got to do myself
Look into your inner self
Only you know how to be free
If you wanna grin, let it smile
Feel a little happy, go on, dance a while
Can't nobody play down God's lovely child
Because when the spirit hits you
You got to move
And just as He made us one of many
Then aren't the many of us maybe only one?
Surely can He be the rising sun
The depth of night, the light for a sight?
Sort of sets the moral standard of soul
Gives you the strength to pay the price of life
And rewards you with a bit of fulfillment
The definition of true
He is more real than you, isn't He?
Oh, my, the doctor
Must have been a heavenly man
(Jesus) lot of inspiration all over this land Jesus (Jesus) in spite of your fears you can share happy tears (Jesus)
Don't care what you call Him
None can be fall Him
Hear me say Amen
(Amen, amen) hear me say Amen
(Amen, amen) now stand up and clap your hands
Amen, amen
Amen, amen
Ah, ah, ah
A travelin' soul, the way the story goes
We all know He was crucified
But what He gave us never will die
He never had a hustling mind
Doing crime, wasting time
Drinking that wine (drinking that wine) drinking that, drinking that
Drinking that, drinking that
Drinking
You need courage in time of fear
Because of undying news you hear
Talk about Jesus, talk about Jesus
Strength and trial, new temptation
Don't wanna lose a lovely relation Talk about Jesus, talk about Jesus
He never had a hustling mind
Doing crime, wasting time
Drinking that wine (drinking that wine) drinking that, drinking that
Drinking that, drinking that, drinking
The world I see before me is trying to make me a slave
(Jesus) then to see my children hungry
I'd rather go to my grave, Jesus (Jesus)
The loving way of life has terribly been arranged
(Jesus) something's not good my wrong
And it seems awful strange
Just like a bag of guilt
There are those in fear are falling in
We who are already here
Look at here, look at here
Look at here
You need courage in times of fear Because of undying news you hear
Talk about Jesus, talk about Jesus
Strength in time of new relation
Don't wanna lose a love relation
Talk about Jesus, talk about Jesus
He never had a hustling mind
Doing crime, wasting time
Drinking that wine (drinking that wine) drinking that, drinking that
Drinking that, drinking that
Drinking
Talk about Jesus
Talk about Jesus
Talk about Jesus
Talk about Jesus
