Be Not Always - Lyrics
Always, be not always
And if always
Bow our heads in shame
Always, please be not always
And if always
Bow our heads in blame
’Cause time has made promises
Just promises
Faces, did you see their faces
Did they touch you
Have you felt such pain
To have nothing
To dream something
Then lose hoping
Is not life but lame
But time has made promises
Just promises
Mothers cry, babies die
Helplessly in arms
While rockets fly
And research lies
In progress to become
But what of men
Of flesh and blood
We turn our backs on life
How can we claim to stand for peace
When the races are in strife
Destroying life
Always, be not always
But if always
Bow our heads in shame
Always, please, please be not always
’Cause if always
Bow our heads in blame
’Cause time, time has made promises
Death promises
Always, be not always
And if always
Bow our heads in shame
Always, please be not always
And if always
Bow our heads in blame
’Cause time has made promises
Just promises
Faces, did you see their faces
Did they touch you
Have you felt such pain
To have nothing
To dream something
Then lose hoping
Is not life but lame
But time has made promises
Just promises
Mothers cry, babies die
Helplessly in arms
While rockets fly
And research lies
In progress to become
But what of men
Of flesh and blood
We turn our backs on life
How can we claim to stand for peace
When the races are in strife
Destroying life
Always, be not always
But if always
Bow our heads in shame
Always, please, please be not always
’Cause if always
Bow our heads in blame
’Cause time, time has made promises
Death promises
Two weeks after his breakup with longtime girlfriend, Charisse, Michael vowed he would never fall again, until he got a call from his best friend, Royce, stating that he had set him up on a blind date. "Hey, Mike, what's up, I know it's been two weeks since Charisse dumped you, but it's time to move on, so I've set you up on a blind date. Her name is Peggy, and she happens to a good friend of mine". "All that is good and well, but I'm not interested in starting a new relationship right now, but thanks anyway," Michael replied, "come on, man, you need to move on with you life and get back into the swing of things," Royce replied.
"I know, I know, but it's not that easy getting over her even though she left me for her married lover, and it still hurts when I think about it", Michael replied.
