Curtis Mayfield Never Say You Can't Survive
All of your life
Between heaven and hell
A great repetitious game
(To live)
(To know)
Where to live is to know
(Your Shames)
(Your Pains)
All your shames and your pains
To be in such a plain old helpless mess
(Because you are a special wonder)
Because you are a special wonder
Let nobody put you under
Whenever your friends
Will have their doubts in you
And the words
You know they just aren't true
Keep right on stepping
Ain't nothing happening
Never say you can't survive
Life is for a fruit for time [?]
May love forever keep us learning
No way to depart
Love in your heart
Know you need to give
Because you really want to live
(You are a special wonder)
Because you are a special wonder
(Oh baby)
(Let nobody put you under)
Let nobody put you under
When you make a way
[?]
Only thing are you gifted with
Still your promise to die
(To die)
Before you live
(To live)
(So much)
(To give)
Oh the need to be touched
You just do it for me so much
It gives you [?]
Embrace the kisses upon your baby's lips
Good, good feeling
Rocking and a Reeling
Loving and a teasing
Kissing and a breathing
(Hey hey)
Good luck charm
Laying in my arms
Need to be touched
Need it so much
No way to depart
Love in your heart
Know you need to give
