28 Thousand Days lyrics - Alicia Keys
Blood in my eye, hand on my heart
Feet on the ground, head to the sky
Cause trouble ain't no friend of mine
Ain't no giving it up, no more wasting time
If you had 28 thousand days
Who would you love? Where would you go?
What would you celebrate?
I'm telling you that life's too short to just throw it away
So have the time of your life, so have the time of your life
Back from hell with my angel wings
Ain't no fear in my voice
Cause I'm making a choice
The devil ain't no friend of me
And that clock on the wall is telling me
(That there's just...)
There's only 28 thousand days
Who would you love? Where would you go?
What would you celebrate?
I'm telling you that life's too short to just throw it away
So have the time of your life, so have the time of your life
There's only 28 thousand days
Who would you love? Where would you go?
What would you celebrate?
I'm telling you that life's too short to just throw it away
So have the time of your life, so have the time of your life
Feet on the ground, head to the sky
Cause trouble ain't no friend of mine
Ain't no giving it up, no more wasting time
If you had 28 thousand days
Who would you love? Where would you go?
What would you celebrate?
I'm telling you that life's too short to just throw it away
So have the time of your life, so have the time of your life
Back from hell with my angel wings
Ain't no fear in my voice
Cause I'm making a choice
The devil ain't no friend of me
And that clock on the wall is telling me
(That there's just...)
There's only 28 thousand days
Who would you love? Where would you go?
What would you celebrate?
I'm telling you that life's too short to just throw it away
So have the time of your life, so have the time of your life
There's only 28 thousand days
Who would you love? Where would you go?
What would you celebrate?
I'm telling you that life's too short to just throw it away
So have the time of your life, so have the time of your life
A Place Of My Own lyrics - Alicia Keys
Yes
When it rains it pours, life can be so lonely
But the faith of the storm
Makes the way less heavy
This life can seem so unfair but who cares
If I can rise up then I will get there
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm looking for a place to call my own
Looking for a house to make a home
Looking for a seat upon a throne
Looking for a place to call my own
Hey
Hey
The hardest place to go
Is where I've never gone before
It takes a brave, brave soul
But it makes you much stronger
Now I feel so alive and there's no more cry
I chose to rise up and there's no deny
[Chorus:]
That I finally found a place to call my own
I finally found a house to make a home
I finally took a seat upon a throne
And now I have a place to call my own
So many people they try to make you
Make you believe that
You're nothing without them, no
Don't you believe it
Not for a minute
You gotta show love
This is the way
[Chorus:]
Now I have a place to call my own
Now I have a house to make a home
Now I have a seat upon a throne
'Cause now I have a place to call my own
Hey...
Hey...
I didn't worry
About a thing
Hey
Hey
I'll never worry about a thing.
Come on.
When it rains it pours, life can be so lonely
But the faith of the storm
Makes the way less heavy
This life can seem so unfair but who cares
If I can rise up then I will get there
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm looking for a place to call my own
Looking for a house to make a home
Looking for a seat upon a throne
Looking for a place to call my own
Hey
Hey
The hardest place to go
Is where I've never gone before
It takes a brave, brave soul
But it makes you much stronger
Now I feel so alive and there's no more cry
I chose to rise up and there's no deny
[Chorus:]
That I finally found a place to call my own
I finally found a house to make a home
I finally took a seat upon a throne
And now I have a place to call my own
So many people they try to make you
Make you believe that
You're nothing without them, no
Don't you believe it
Not for a minute
You gotta show love
This is the way
[Chorus:]
Now I have a place to call my own
Now I have a house to make a home
Now I have a seat upon a throne
'Cause now I have a place to call my own
Hey...
Hey...
I didn't worry
About a thing
Hey
Hey
I'll never worry about a thing.
Come on.
Back To Life lyrics - Alicia Keys
[from "Queen of Katwe" soundtrack]
I'm just tryna hold onto to a dream
Out here lost and nothing's what it seems
I'm just tryna find where I belong
This must be the dark before the dawn
When the place that you were born is not where you belong
Tell me baby, what stops you from wearing a crown?
I wanna be somebody, be somebody
And I wanna go somewhere, go somewhere
Back to life, life, life, life, life, life, life, baby
Back to life, life, life, life, life, life, life, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
Back to life, life, life, life, life, life, life, baby
Back to life, life, I been waiting for all of my life
Back to life, mmm...
Climb out from the bottom baby
No more looking back only straight up
Foot on the pedal baby, it's time to find what you're made of
Everybody wants to be adored
You don't have to settle for being enough
Back to life, back to life
Nothing can break you
I will survive, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Back to life
I'm not made to be locked up
If a bird don't fly, then what were wings made for?
Oh, I'm not meant to be locked up
And if I don't try, then what was I made for?
Back to life, back to life
Nothing can break you
I will survive, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Back to life
I'm just tryna hold onto to a dream
Out here lost and nothing's what it seems
I'm just tryna find where I belong
This must be the dark before the dawn
When the place that you were born is not where you belong
Tell me baby, what stops you from wearing a crown?
I wanna be somebody, be somebody
And I wanna go somewhere, go somewhere
Back to life, life, life, life, life, life, life, baby
Back to life, life, life, life, life, life, life, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
Back to life, life, life, life, life, life, life, baby
Back to life, life, I been waiting for all of my life
Back to life, mmm...
Climb out from the bottom baby
No more looking back only straight up
Foot on the pedal baby, it's time to find what you're made of
Everybody wants to be adored
You don't have to settle for being enough
Back to life, back to life
Nothing can break you
I will survive, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Back to life
I'm not made to be locked up
If a bird don't fly, then what were wings made for?
Oh, I'm not meant to be locked up
And if I don't try, then what was I made for?
Back to life, back to life
Nothing can break you
I will survive, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Back to life
Better You, Better Me lyrics - Alicia Keys
[from "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete" soundtrack]
I look into the mirror
And see a different girl
Hiding from herself with
Not a care in the world
Her smile pretends to fool
Those she chooses to please
If they could only see the tears she cries for help
See, I have been that girl
Didn’t know which way to turn
Then one day I turned to me
I told myself to wake up
It’s gonna be a brighter day
I just have to believe that
My dreams won’t have to wait
At times I’ve lost my mind
Had to look deep inside
And find a way to get over
Had to swallow my pride
I searched the world for and answer
But I’ve been searching too far
Because I’ve been here all along
I’m here to make a statement
My place I’m here to claim it
Don’t tell me what my name is
I know
I’m gonna make it
I’ve come to far to lose it
Gotta stay focused
And find a better me
Feels like forever
Trying to work it out
Sometimes you’re gonna fail
And you know
Sometime it will rain
But the sun will come
When you think it’s all said and done
You know you see the light
And everything is alright
You can do
Whatever you put your mind to
Cause you’re all that you need
Like I do just believe
You’re here to make a statement
You’re place you’re here to claim it
You know just what your name is
I know
You’re gonna make it
You’ve come to far to lose it
Gotta stay focused
And find a better me
I look into the mirror
And see a different girl
Hiding from herself with
Not a care in the world
Her smile pretends to fool
Those she chooses to please
If they could only see the tears she cries for help
See, I have been that girl
Didn’t know which way to turn
Then one day I turned to me
I told myself to wake up
It’s gonna be a brighter day
I just have to believe that
My dreams won’t have to wait
At times I’ve lost my mind
Had to look deep inside
And find a way to get over
Had to swallow my pride
I searched the world for and answer
But I’ve been searching too far
Because I’ve been here all along
I’m here to make a statement
My place I’m here to claim it
Don’t tell me what my name is
I know
I’m gonna make it
I’ve come to far to lose it
Gotta stay focused
And find a better me
Feels like forever
Trying to work it out
Sometimes you’re gonna fail
And you know
Sometime it will rain
But the sun will come
When you think it’s all said and done
You know you see the light
And everything is alright
You can do
Whatever you put your mind to
Cause you’re all that you need
Like I do just believe
You’re here to make a statement
You’re place you’re here to claim it
You know just what your name is
I know
You’re gonna make it
You’ve come to far to lose it
Gotta stay focused
And find a better me
Brand New Me Part 2 lyrics - Alicia Keys
She wakes up early in the morning just to do her hair y'all
Cause it's a new her
She just wanna live her life tryin' to find her freedom

She may not see the light but she wants it, she wants it

Dreaming lyrics - Alicia Keys
Tryna keep my feet on the ground
But my head is in the clouds
Love's so hard to find
But you know that it's on my mind
Lonely in a daze
I don't know how I got to this place
But it's too good to deny
Oh, so I close my eyes and I fly
Come to me, run to me
I'm praying that you come to me, baby
Even when I'm up all day
When I sleep at night
Baby, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
Dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
Baby, I'm dreaming
Tryna keep my feet on the ground
But the feeling knocks me down
I feel so overwhelmed
I'm under your spell
Tryna keep coming, stay strong
But that don't last too long
But it's too good to deny
Oh, so I close my eyes and I fly
Come to me, run to me
I'm praying that you come to me, baby
Even when I'm up all day
When I sleep at night
Baby, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
Dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
Baby, I'm dreaming
But my head is in the clouds
Love's so hard to find
But you know that it's on my mind
Lonely in a daze
I don't know how I got to this place
But it's too good to deny
Oh, so I close my eyes and I fly
Come to me, run to me
I'm praying that you come to me, baby
Even when I'm up all day
When I sleep at night
Baby, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
Dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
Baby, I'm dreaming
Tryna keep my feet on the ground
But the feeling knocks me down
I feel so overwhelmed
I'm under your spell
Tryna keep coming, stay strong
But that don't last too long
But it's too good to deny
Oh, so I close my eyes and I fly
Come to me, run to me
I'm praying that you come to me, baby
Even when I'm up all day
When I sleep at night
Baby, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
Dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming
Baby, I'm dreaming
In Common (Remix) lyrics - Alicia Keys (feat. Kanye West & Travis Scott)
[Kanye West:]
Hello, you there?
Yeah, I'm here
You breaking up, I can barely hear you
Naw, you clear
You cool? you mad?
You talk? bad
You up? You been good?
Naw I been bad
What you mean, you been bad?
Baby girl you know I got bad nerves
Got me cursing with the kids in the car
"Mommy, daddy using bad words!"
No more tripping while you at work
No more texting while I'm at church
No more switching up the password
That's the shit that get your ass hurt
[Alicia Keys:]
We got way too much in common
If I'm being honest with you
We got way too much in common
Since I'm being honest with you
Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too
Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me
You must be messed up too
Said I'd be gone by five
But it's sunrise and I'm still in your bed
Goodnight usually means goodbye
Me replaying memories in my head
Look at you, look at you
Look what you made me do
How do you, how do you think know my every move
Who are you? Who are you? You look so familiar
I know you, I know you, baby, I know the truth
We got way too much in common
If I'm being honest with you
We got way too much in common
Since I'm being honest with you
Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me

Who wants to love somebody like me?
You wanna love somebody like me?
If you could love somebody like me

It's On Again lyrics - Alicia Keys (feat. Kendrick Lamar)
[from "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" soundtrack]
[Kendrick Lamar:]
And everybody know the story of David and Goliath
But this is bigger than triumph
This is for the warrior, this is for you and I
This is for euphoria, give me a piece of mind
God is recording this! Won't you look in the sky?
Tell him that you got the behavior of your neighbor
Even when stability's never in your favor
Fly with the turbulence, only last a minute
Land on your dreams, and recognize you live it
Walk through the valley and peaks, with bare feet
Run through the flames, that's more passion for me
I passed testimony just so the world can see
Battle wounds on me, you watching me lick 'em clean
I know, I know, my pride, my goals, my highs
My lows, I know, I know, it's mind control
I know, I could prosper, no imposter
Prosecute my posture
I stand up and I stand by it what
[Alicia Keys:]
I am a freedom fighter, the name that history wrote
And even through disaster, eye of the tiger for hope
I'm trying to find my way back, there's no day off for heroes
And even when I'm tired, "go" is the only word I know
And the night is takin' over
And the moonlight gets exposure
And the players have been chosen
And it seems like fate has spoken
When it seems your faith has broken
By the second, losin' focus
Ain't no way to get off, get off, get off, get off
Unless you move forward
I bet they wonder how I go on, go on [x2]
I'll simply say it's on again, it's on again, woah
The world don't stop, it's on again, it's on again, woah
I am a lonely hero, tryin' to fight my battles
Life likes to blow the cold wind, sometimes it freezes my shadow
In the midst of all this darkness, I sacrifice my ego
There ain't no room for selfish, we do it for the people
And the night is takin' over
And the moonlight gets exposure
And the players have been chosen
And it seems like fate has spoken
When it seems your faith has broken
By the second, losin' focus
Ain't no way to get off, get off, get off, get off
Unless you move forward
I bet they wonder how I go on, go on [x2]
I'll simply say it's on again, it's on again, woah
The world don't stop, it's on again, it's on again, woah
The work don't stop, 'cause they don't stop
And everybody here trying to get on top
Everybody from the burbs down to the block
Gotta hold on tight and don't let go, let go
Huh
So you think you're hot?
Gotta grind hard, give it all you got
You can have, or you can have not
You see that a lot in the ghetto (ghetto)
How I go on, go on
I bet they wonder how I go on, go on
I'll simply say it's on again, it's on again
The world don't stop, it's on again, it's on again
[Kendrick Lamar:]
And everybody know the story of David and Goliath
But this is bigger than triumph
This is for the warrior, this is for you and I
This is for euphoria, give me a piece of mind
God is recording this! Won't you look in the sky?
Tell him that you got the behavior of your neighbor
Even when stability's never in your favor
Fly with the turbulence, only last a minute
Land on your dreams, and recognize you live it
Walk through the valley and peaks, with bare feet
Run through the flames, that's more passion for me
I passed testimony just so the world can see
Battle wounds on me, you watching me lick 'em clean
I know, I know, my pride, my goals, my highs
My lows, I know, I know, it's mind control
I know, I could prosper, no imposter
Prosecute my posture
I stand up and I stand by it what

Power lyrics - Alicia Keys
Yeah, come on
Come on, hey
Let me tell you a little story
Grandma used to say nothing before it was time
Used to say that the world would be mine
So I should just have faith
She showed me all I need in this life is for free
Change is one thing that is guaranteed
So I should just keep pace
So I marched on like the soldier in the story
Long the way I met a guy, Victory, oh
He went to my head
I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I want the power
(Can you feel the power)
Strong will
Along the road met a girl named Doubt
Wrapped in my mind, couldn't get her out
No matter how I tried it, hey
And somewhere she introduced me to a friend named Fear
Thought I would never get the hell out of here
I had to say goodbye
So I marched on like the soldier in the story
Long the way I met a guy named Glory, oh
He went to my head
I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
I got the power
(Can you feel the power)
I feel the power
(Can you feel the power)
You wanna feel invincible?
If you wanna victorious
If you wanna feel this way
Let me hear you say
Power (power)
Say power (power)
Yeah, power (power)
Say power (power)
I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you
I said
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you now more than ever
Oh baby, got to know you better
I'm feeling you, feeling you
Come on, hey

Somewhere In The City lyrics - Alicia Keys
Just the other day...
I was looking out the window
And I was thinking...
Somewhere in a city just like mine, uh
Somewhere in a city like mine
Sky is falling
Somewhere in a city like mine
Father's calling
Seas are rising
See yours crying
Dreams may wash away
But we're surviving
Mothers trying
Help us see our ways
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
When everybody loves someone
There's nothing to fear
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
Everybody knows that love's the reason we're here
Uh, yeah, come on
Say, say it one more time
Somewhere on an island like mine
World is shaking
Somewhere on an island like mine
Hearts are breaking
Seas are rising
Birds are diving
Dreams may wash away
But we're surviving
Mothers trying
To help us see our ways
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
When everybody loves someone
There's nothing to fear
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
Everybody knows that love's the reason we're here
I know, I know, I know
It feels like some things will never change
Oh Lord
Come on, come on, come on
Don't get down
Just start to be the change
That you want in the world
So...
You gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
When everybody loves someone
There's nothing to fear
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
Everybody knows that love's the reason we're here
Ooh
Everybody knows that love...
Ooh oh, uhuh
I was looking out the window
And I was thinking...
Somewhere in a city just like mine, uh
Somewhere in a city like mine
Sky is falling
Somewhere in a city like mine
Father's calling
Seas are rising

Dreams may wash away
But we're surviving
Mothers trying
Help us see our ways
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
When everybody loves someone
There's nothing to fear
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
Everybody knows that love's the reason we're here
Uh, yeah, come on
Say, say it one more time
Somewhere on an island like mine
World is shaking
Somewhere on an island like mine
Hearts are breaking
Seas are rising
Birds are diving
Dreams may wash away
But we're surviving
Mothers trying
To help us see our ways
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
When everybody loves someone
There's nothing to fear
So you gotta love somebody
So you gotta love somebody
Everybody knows that love's the reason we're here
I know, I know, I know
It feels like some things will never change
Oh Lord

So you gotta love somebody
When everybody loves someone

Speechless lyrics - Alicia Keys (feat. Eve)
[Verse 1: Alicia Keys]
When I wake up in the morning babe
Can't believe my eyes
Sweetest little part of destiny
Oh yeah
Cause you are now in my life
There ain't no man or prize
Oh noo
Can compare to you
Ain't no words to describe the way that I'm feeling
When I look at you
[Chorus: Alicia Keys]
I'm just speechless baby
Don't know what to say
I'm just speechless baby
The poet in me has gone away
I'm speechless baby
Don't know what to say
I'm just speechless baby
The poet in me has gone away
[Verse 2: Alicia Keys]
True love finally finds you babe
Life becomes a way
Previously unimaginable
Oh yeah
Listen I don't wanna say
It only happens once if even at all
Feel it deep in your soul
And like a fairytale your story begins yeah
What a sight to behold
Makes you...
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Eve]
In the mornings when I rise up
Go to the window and I smile with my eyes up
Stare in the clouds like wow look at my luck
Everyday I'm feeling better cause I know I got the best I can be proud of
We can't fall quick
Remember when I used to tell my girls like yo this dude think he so it
Think he so fly
And a'time you try to talk to me I'm like yo don't even dare try
I was on my solo groove I ain't want nothing I ain't need nothing
Man I'm good
Now I'm speechless
Cause I fell for him
The poet in me died
Cause I fell for him
[Chorus]
[Outro:]
I used to know all the words to say
I used to write all the poetry
But now you take my breath away
When I wake up in the morning babe
Can't believe my eyes
Sweetest little part of destiny
Oh yeah
Cause you are now in my life
There ain't no man or prize
Oh noo
Can compare to you
Ain't no words to describe the way that I'm feeling
When I look at you
[Chorus: Alicia Keys]
I'm just speechless baby
Don't know what to say
I'm just speechless baby
The poet in me has gone away
I'm speechless baby
Don't know what to say
I'm just speechless baby
The poet in me has gone away
[Verse 2: Alicia Keys]
True love finally finds you babe
Life becomes a way

That Would Be Enough lyrics - Alicia Keys
(from "The Hamilton Mixtape")
Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around...
Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around...
Look at where you are
Look at where you started
The fact that you're alive is a miracle
Just stay alive
That would be enough
And if this child
Shares a fraction of your smile
Or a fragment of your mind, look out world!
That would be enough
I don't pretend to know
The challenges you're facing
The worlds you keep erasing and creating in your mind
But I'm not afraid
I know who I married
So long as you come home at the end of the day
That would be enough
We don't need a legacy
We don't need money
If I could grant you peace of mind
If you could let me inside your heart...
Oh, let me be a part of the narrative
In the story they will write someday
Let this moment be the first chapter:
Where you decide to stay
And I would be enough
And this could be enough
This would be enough
Said, I would be enough
And this could be enough
See, we could be enough
Oh baby
I could be enough
We could be enough
This could be enough
Oooh
Don't look no further
Don't go nowhere
I could be enough (I could be enough)
We could have it all
Tell me baby (baby)
Can you feel me? (ayy)
Can I be enough? (Can I be enough?)
And your family? (Me and your family?)
Listen, baby (Listen, baby)
We can have it all (We could have it all)
Can I be enough? (Can I be enough?)
Yeah
Woo
So look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around...
Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around...
Baby
Darling
Oooh
Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around...
Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around...
Look at where you are
Look at where you started
The fact that you're alive is a miracle
Just stay alive
That would be enough
And if this child
Shares a fraction of your smile
Or a fragment of your mind, look out world!
That would be enough
I don't pretend to know

Typewriter lyrics - Alicia Keys
There we go ladies and gentlemen
Past all of the technical difficulties
That we have lead for experience
I will let you into my laboratory filled with many things
Writing intentions, you see
Such as my typewriter in the corner
Let me show you to the window
So you can see what I see, you know
Desperate am I to
Tell you how I feel for you
No sunshine when you're gone
Peaceful sleep I have none
How can I make it better
I'm under so much pressure
Well I know it won't last
I know that this will pass
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
You capture what I say
I don't want to falsify
I want to make it right
Can't you see there's work to do
I'm trying to write to you
How can I make it better
I'm under so much pressure
Problem is, problem is
I'll give you space till you get over this
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
You capture what I say
To torture a woman
Is to feed her loneliness
So please don't leave me lonely
Cause it's your mind that I miss
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
You capture what I say
Past all of the technical difficulties
That we have lead for experience
I will let you into my laboratory filled with many things
Writing intentions, you see
Such as my typewriter in the corner
Let me show you to the window
So you can see what I see, you know
Desperate am I to
Tell you how I feel for you
No sunshine when you're gone
Peaceful sleep I have none
How can I make it better
I'm under so much pressure
Well I know it won't last
I know that this will pass
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
Thinking in my head
You're my typewriter
I write to you what I am thinking
You capture what I say

Can't you see there's work to do

We Gotta Pray lyrics - Alicia Keys
Come on, aha
You know
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
Pray for the world tonight
We gotta save
Somebody save somebody tonight
Fire in the air
What the hell going on
Sirens everywhere
Singing that street song
Violence everywhere
Barely holding on
What the hell going on
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?
We, we're extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
One extraordinary question
Are we gonna run or fight?
So we gotta pray
Pray for the love tonight
Another day
Pray for another try
Smoke is in the sky
What the hell going on
Bullets gonna fly
Ah, right from the gun
Trying not to cry
Barely holding on
What the hell going on
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?
We, we're extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
One extraordinary question
Are we gonna live or die?
So we gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
You know
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
Pray for the world tonight
We gotta save
Somebody save somebody tonight
Fire in the air
What the hell going on
Sirens everywhere
Singing that street song
Violence everywhere
Barely holding on
What the hell going on
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?
We, we're extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
One extraordinary question
Are we gonna run or fight?
So we gotta pray
Pray for the love tonight
Another day
Pray for another try
Smoke is in the sky
What the hell going on
Bullets gonna fly
Ah, right from the gun
Trying not to cry
Barely holding on
What the hell going on
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?
We, we're extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
One extraordinary question
Are we gonna live or die?
So we gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
Zebras And Airplanes lyrics - Alicia Keys
Have you ever wanna fly?
Have you ever wanna run away?
Have you ever closed your eyes, seen a vision and it took you away
Wonder why in my dreams lookin up the sky is so blue
In the jungle I'm feelin so free where dreams do come true
So come on, let's fly away
Like zebras and airplanes
Runnin so free through the night
Fire through the sky away
Like zebras and airplanes
Have you ever wanna gallop through the wind where water meets the sand?
If you ever wanna feel like this then come take my hand
Through the paint on the canvass and it cover up your emotion
Now's the time, take a chance, make a wish, let your fantasy begin
And come on, let's fly away
Like zebras and airplanes
Runnin so free through the night
Fire through the sky away
Like zebras and airplanes
What do zebras and airplanes mean?
They say zebras running free through the night
Airplanes fly high through the sky
And that can be you and I
So come on, let's fly away
Like zebras and airplanes
Runnin so free through the night
Fire through the sky away
Like zebras and airplanes
Have you ever wanna run away?
Have you ever closed your eyes, seen a vision and it took you away
Wonder why in my dreams lookin up the sky is so blue
In the jungle I'm feelin so free where dreams do come true
So come on, let's fly away
Like zebras and airplanes
Runnin so free through the night
Fire through the sky away
Like zebras and airplanes
Have you ever wanna gallop through the wind where water meets the sand?
If you ever wanna feel like this then come take my hand
Through the paint on the canvass and it cover up your emotion
Now's the time, take a chance, make a wish, let your fantasy begin
And come on, let's fly away
Like zebras and airplanes
Runnin so free through the night
Fire through the sky away
Like zebras and airplanes
What do zebras and airplanes mean?
They say zebras running free through the night
Airplanes fly high through the sky
And that can be you and I
So come on, let's fly away
Like zebras and airplanes
Runnin so free through the night
Fire through the sky away
Like zebras and airplanes
