O holy night! The stars are brightly shining. It is the night Of the dear Savior′s birth! Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till he appear′d and the soul felt His worth. A thrill of hope The weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks A new and glorious morn! Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices; Oh night divine, Oh night when Christ was born, Oh night divine, Oh night , Oh night divine.
Chains shall He break For the slave is our brother, And in His name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy In grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us praise His holy name. Christ is the Lord, let ever ever praise Thee No?l, No?l Oh night, Oh night divine, No?l, No?l Oh night, Oh night divine. No?l, No?l Oh, Oh night, Oh night divine
I kneel and wait in silence As one by one the people slip away Into the nightr The quiet and empty bodies Kiss the ground before they pray Kiss the ground And slip away...
I sit and listen dreamlessly A promise of salvation makes me stay Then look at your face And feel my heart pushed in As all around the children play The games they tired of yesterday They play
I stand and hear my voice Cry out A wordless scream at ancient power It breaks against stone I softly leave you crying...
I cannot hold what you devour The sacrifice of penance In the holy hour
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining; It is the night of my dear Savior’s birth! Long lay the world in sin and error pining, Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born! O night divine, O night, O night divine!
Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is love and His Gospel is peace. Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother And in His Name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us praise His holy Name!
Christ is the King! That ever, ever praise we! His path and glory evermore proclaim! His path and glory evermore proclaim! oh-oh , oh , oh
His path and glory evermore proclaim! His path and glory evermore proclaim!
When you love I can feel your love Shooting holes in my stupid pride When you love I don′t fear your love Of all the angels you′re the most divine
Holy love You can really have anything you want from me Anything you ask me to, I′ll do We can live in poverty or prosperity Anything impossible, I′ll try You can really have everything you ask And I′ll be intimate with you Giving everything over To making everything right
Holy love When you love I can feel your love Shooting holes in my stupid pride When you love I don′t fear your love Of all the angels you′re the most divine Holy love

When you love I can feel your love Throwing rocks through the windows of a monastery Love Makes me feel the super extra gravity Of god, yeah! And live When you love I can feel your love Of all the angels you′re the most divine
Brother will kill brother Spilling blood across the land Killing for religion Something I don′t understand
Fools like me, who cross the sea And come to foreign lands Ask the sheep, for their beliefs Do you kill on God′s command?
A country that′s divided Surely will not stand My past erased, no more disgrace No foolish naive stand
The end is near, it′s crystal clear Part of the master plan Don′t look now to Israel It might be your homelands
Holy wars
Upon my podium, as the Know it all scholar Down in my seat of judgement Gavel′s bang, uphold the law Up on my soapbox, a leader Out to change the world Down in my pulpit as the holier Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God
If my man was fighting Some unholy war I would be behind him Straight shook up beside him With strength he didn′t know It′s you I′m fighting for He can′t lose with me in tow I refuse to let him go At his side and drunk on pride We wait for the blow
We put it in writing But who you writing for Just us on kitchen floor Justice done, Reciting my stomach standing still Like you′re reading my will He still stands in spite of what his scars say I′ll battle till this bitter finale Just me, my dignity and this guitar case
Yes my man is fighting some unholy war And I will stand beside you Who you fighting for B - I would have died too I′d of liked to If my man was fighting Some unholy war If my man was fighting
I was reminiscing just the other day While having coffee all alone And lord it took me away Back to a first glance feeling on New York time Back when you fit my poems Like a perfect rhyme Took off faster than a green light, go Yeah you skip the conversation when you already know I left a note on the door with a joke we′d made And that was the first day
And darling it was good Never looking down And right there where we stood Was holy ground
Spinning like girl in a brand new dress We had this big wide city all to ourselves We block the noise with the sound of “I need you” And for the first time I had something to lose And I guess we fell apart in the usual way And the story′s got dust on every page But sometimes I wonder How you think about it now And I see your face in every crowd
Cause darling it was good Never looking down And right there where we stood Was holy ground
Tonight I’m gonna dance For all that we′ve been through But I don′t want to dance If I’m not dancing with you Tonight I’m gonna dance Like you were in this room But I don′t want to dance If I’m not dancing with you
It was good Never looking down And right there where we stood Was holy ground
Tonight I’m gonna dance For all that we′ve been through But I don′t want to dance If I’m not dancing with you Tonight I’m gonna dance Like you were in this room But I don′t want to dance If I’m not dancing with you
Oh holy night! The stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Savior′s birth! Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till he appear′d and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees Oh hear the angel voices Oh night divine Oh holy night when Christ was born Oh fall on your knees Oh hear the angel voices Oh night divine Oh holy night when Christ was born (Holy night Holy night when Christ was born Holy night Holy night when Christ was born)
Holy night, it was a holy night Yes it was holy night The savior ??? on a holy night Holy night holy night...
O holy night the stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear savior′s birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till he appeared and the soul felt it′s worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new glorious morn Fall on your knees O hear the angels′ voices O night divine O night when christ was born O night divine, o night O night divine
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn Fall on your knees O hear the angels′ voices O night divine O night when christ was born O night divine, o night O night divine
[Will Smith:] Mic check, one two one two This dedicated to an old friend of mine, Michelle She a holy roller now, turned over a new leaf Now e′rything old gon′ burn (please help me not do it again)
[Chorus: Will Smith] Ms. Holy Roller, new angel Wit′cha bible out shoutin and you ringin a bell Mid-life, REBORN! And can′t wait to tell If I don′t believe what you believe I′m goin to hell
[Verse One: Will Smith] Yo, I′ve been down with Jesus since Sunday school and Easter speeches The, bible was survival that′s what my grandma would teach us Since I was 5 I′ve been dyin and tryin to read it And when I did, it redefined it Now you was 34 when you found Jesus after your life fell to pieces Wife two times with two guys, now enlightened the speeches Seem to flow out your mouth with the hype of a preacher Took your whole life to reach ya, now I′m a triflin creature?
[Chorus]
[Will Smith:] C′mon, if I die right this second, I reckon that God Would simply check into my life and times, dissectin my rhymes He′ll see how I′ve been leadin his troops You can′t do dirt your whole life and say - OOPS!
[Interlude: Will Smith] Now where was Jesus when you was cheatin and you was deceivin me? Where was Jesus when you was greedy, your lawyers was bleedin me? Where was Jesus when every weekend, a new man was livin wit′chu Oh wait, he was with me, tryin to keep me from killin you! Now where was Jesus when you was lyin and you was betrayin me? When I was tryin to make it and you was hatin delayin me huh? Where was Jesus when the ICE was thrillin ya? Oh wait, he was with me, tryin to keep me from killin ya!
[Verse Two: Will Smith] If I ain′t know Jesus, ain′t no tellin where we′d be It′s been nights I felt like beasts, I needed to fight to release it I′m in the limelight, it′s hot and the heat is ceaseless and Holdin my tongue while lil′ bums cut me to pieces The only reason′s cause I studied the life of Jesus and Ventin with my pen and intendin to write and release it But when an ex-friend slight me and slam me pretendin I hate it, I can′t stand, damn it I really resent it I always strive to be righteous, my version of God The reason why I never write rap verses with curses inside The reason I never purposely hurt person I′ve replied Many teachers of God, searchin to reach as a God Pondered the mysteries of why you be dissin me I adore you, all I hope for you is freedom from mysery You made mistakes and blunders, you breakin from under but yo If I′m goin to hell, it′s makin me wonder
[Interlude]
[Will Smith:] The greatest atrocities ever committed on this planet have been in the name of God This country was founded by the Puritans for the express purpose of oppressin free worship Your attitude is the same arrogant fearful fundamentalism That fueled the hatred, of the Crusades and the attacks of 9/11 If we are not allowed to worship God as groups and individuals free from persecution And respect for tolerance, there′s only one outcome
Called to Madonna To give me a line She said boy what have you done Passing your time with a holy man Talking about the moon and sun But I can′t tell the difference Between the fool and wise Show me a river to follow Away from all these lies
I′ve been on my own so long Won′t you lend me your hand I′ve been picking up my bones too long Won′t you understand
Called to the captain To put me ashore For it looked like no man′s land Is this the way to follow I cried as I shook his hand He told me had no answer He didn′t really hold the key I am a simple man Was all he said to me
I′ve been on my own so long Won′t you lend me a hand I′ve been out in the cold too long Won′t you understand I′ve been on the road so long Won′t you lend me your hand I′ve been out in the cold too long Won′t you understand
Heard my mother crying She was calling out my name Whisper in the dark night Saying who′s to blame The hour glass keeps turning With not enought sand to see I am a holy man So don′t you bother me
I′ve been on my own so long Won′t you lend me your hand I′ve been pickin′ up my bones too long Won′t you understand I′ve been on my own so long Won′t you lend me your hand I′ve been out in the cold too long Won′t you understand?
The arms of twilight are dandling my soul and in her eyes I see the sweetness of a bright immortal-graced maiden who relieves the grieves of my heart. Wind is whispering your name throught the clouds in the sky. I will always remember your eyes veiled by tears while the night prelude casted a spell on our glances. The eyes of the dying sun are looking at me in this romantic immensity an I can feel this melancholy pervading deep inside me. Twilight is whispering your name to the clouds in the sky. I will never forget your heart beating over mine and your passion heating my bosom. ...And when butterflies fly on whitered flowers and birds perch on dry brances a tear will glide to your feet and I will hold it in my hand like a pearl in its shell.
Oh holy night The stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Savior′s birth, oh yeah Now long lay the world in sin and error pining Till he appeared and the soul felt it′s worth The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees Oh hear the angel voices Oh night divine Oh night when Christ was born Oh night divine, oh night, oh night divine
Our Father, who art in heaven Hallowed be thy Name Thy kingdom come, thy will be done On earth as it is in heaven Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those who trespass against us Lead us not into temptation But deliver us from evil For thine is the kingdom The power, and the glory For ever and ever Amen
Fall on your knees Oh hear the angels voices Oh night divine, ooh Oh night when Christ was born Oh night divine, oh night
Oh, yeah, yeah *laughs Oh yeah No oh, oh yeah
Oh ooh, oh ooh Now ooh, oh ooh Oh yeah
It was a holy, holy night Ohh, oh ooh, oh ooh (Oh holy night) It was a holy night when Jesus Christ was born (Oh holy night) Holy Jesus, Jesus Christ (Oh holy night) And the power, and the glory, yeah (Oh holy night) When Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ (Oh holy night) He was born on this night, on this night (Oh holy night) Jesus Christ Forever, and ever, and ever, and ever (Oh holy night)...
"I′ll try," she said as he walked away. "Try not to lose you." Two vibrant hearts could change. Nothing tears the being more than deception, unmasked fear. "I′ll be here waiting" tested and secure.
Nothing hurts my world, just affects the ones around me. When sin′s deep in my blood, you′ll be the one to fall.
"I wish I could be the one, the one who won′t care at all. But being the one on the stand, I know the way to go, no one′s guiding me. When time soaked with blood turns its back, I know it′s hard to fall. Confined in me was your heart, I know it′s hurting you, but it′s killing me."
Nothing will last in this life, our time is spent constructing, now you′re perfecting a world... meant to sin. Constrict your hands around me, squeeze till I cannot breathe, this air tastes dead inside me, contribute to our plague. Break all your promises, tear down this steadfast wall, restraints are useless here, tasting salvation′s near.
Death hue falling on the faces of the streets lost children as the mortar fire broken in Nights cold, slipping through the cracks breaking through the cracks of crumbling plaster. Hunger gnaws, I can feel it claws but the pain of a bullet would burn much hotter in the spot like, mounted on the cannon of the tank the prowls.
Holy war, deliver me, rest my fear, I can not see.
Nameless, but I no the faces of the kids I sleep in Jezebels lair with Thoughtless breaking my bread tween the mine fields flowers and gullies with daises. Some times I can find some rations that a solider let fall when the wind or life left him. Some times I can find a gun on a pistol or a knife to use.
Holy war, deliver me, rest my fear, I can not see. My eyes are blind, my bodies lame, my families gone, in my gods name, Holy Wars.
Nameless, faceless, but a tear or a dollar won′t buy my justice. Pearless clothed less then a war torn child should sleep or focus. Once I watched as a cannon slot fell through the stained glass window of a church on my street, once I sat on a steeple now laying in the church yards playground.
Holy war, deliver me, rest my fear, I can not see. My eyes are blind, my bodies lame, my families gone, in my gods name, Holy Wars.
She reached her hand out with a pamflet and I politely said "No, Mam" I mean no disrespect and I apologise if this fucks up your program You tell me I′m gonna burn for lying but the heat can turn water to wine Well if there′s a hell below then we′re all gonna′ be just fine.
So there I stood six feet in sin, a walking contradiction but in my wrath a posing question is "or am I another lost soul walking?" Then she gave me a look so unchristian and told she′d pray for my children I said "If you′re so holy you′ll probably out-live me but if I bought a Jesus piece do you think he′d forgive me?"
Maybe I would be a fool to think That somewhere in the sky′s a place for me What good would it be to pray for me You won′t save me, don′t pray for me
Now I′ve never been religious I′m just a big fan of logistics And if it makes sense then I′m all for it I even pray if the situation calls for it Somebody asked me if I believe in miracles I try to answer without sounding setiricle I′m 3 years past my expiration and yet i′m still fresher than a newborn So I guess that′s my explanation but it′s safe to say I′ve never seen a unicorn and I never chase rainbows But I hear the devil wears designer clothes So does God have a favourite brand? and for that matter, is he even a man? and will I go to hell for even saying that? only time will tell i′m just relaying facts.
Maybe I would be a fool to think That somewhere in the sky′s a place for me What good would it be to pray for me You won′t save me, don′t pray for me
{Instrumental}
Maybe I would be a fool to think That somewhere in the sky′s a place for me What good would it be to pray for me You won′t save me, don′t pray for me
Maybe I would be a fool to think That somewhere in the sky′s a place for me What good would it be to pray for me You won′t save me, don′t pray for me

Under no illusion I reserve the right to be incorrect sometimes Under no illusion I reserve the right to be incorrect sometimes (Taking part) Teach my future what you want (Ah, can′t slow me down) Money would cease when I was sleepin′ in the early morn When they were plannin′ out my destiny (Ah, can′t bring me down) Money was saved to see what they′d invest in me Next step is all beginning Save us from our sins (Here I am) As I′m lookin′ toward the prison yard Old school, Bell′s Hell This reminds me of the smell (I am holy) I′m the guarantee of the whole think-up Takin′ newer heights New heights lose attention (Yes I am) You′re thinkin′ you need another dimension I′m just here to let you know How to plant your seeds And watch them die, then grow Starts off a brash talk inside (And there you stand morrally unscathed) as they put the razzes on the tunnels around (Telling me how to behave) I was lookin′ for a little hope When he was livin′ a dream and the others smote So don′t point your fingers at me (I am holy) Take a look at yourself When you was sinnin′ I was climbing trees
