Life's Opera

This is a story, about life

Mostly, about my life

And ooh, people, I want to share it with you

If in some way I can help someone

Maybe someone is lost and needs to see the light

Oh listen, people, I have a story, a life's opera

Get down, they never said we couldn't get down

Long as we added in the fun sometime

Get down, they never said we couldn't get down

Long as we added in the fun sometime

Oh babe, this is it

A song about life, oh baby

[?] listen to my song

For all those

Who feel they want to know the way, aw babe

Listen (Listen) to the truth

Listen (Listen) to the way

I see you, Jesus (Jesus) and Buddha (Buddha)

And Jehovah (Jehovah)

And Martin (Martin) and Malcolm (And Malcolm)

And all men who knew the way

All men died for you

Listen (Listen), listen (Listen) and understand (Understanding)

Check it out and I'm sure the truth will live

Listen (Listen) and see (Listen)

That your life will be something greater than (Listen)

You ever expected to be

Call on the Lord (Get down)

Oh, hear me (Never said we couldn't get down)

The Lord will listen to me (Get down)

Listen my brothers, listen my sisters

(Never said we couldn't get down)

Oh, love the Lord

Lalala Amen ah

The devil is trying to do his work

He'll make you feel like it's righteous

Give you justification

Oh but you gotta look through and see the light there

You can't make wrong right y'all

You see, there got to be two sides in all the balance, oh yes it is

Stood up on the line and choose your side

Maybe it'll take you a little longer, babe, understand what's right

Oh but I believe [?] (I believe...yes, I believe)

I believe all these dreams will come true someday (I believe...yes, I believe)

Maybe the way you don't realize, oooh

(Marching) Brother, keep on marching (Marching, keep on marching, marching, marching, marching, marching)

Keep on marching

What they died for

Don't forget, don't forget (Moving)

Keep a tear in your heart (Moving, keep on moving, moving, moving, moving, moving)

Oh keep on [?]

Closer to the light

Oh people, you know (People)

Said it from my heart

Keep on marching, marching, marching, marching...marching

Closer, closer to God, you'll save me

Oh yes you will

[?]

Our Father which art in heaven

Hallowed be thy name

Thy kingdom come

Thy will be done

Oh Father, on earth as it is heaven

Give us this day, Jesus, our daily bread

Oh Father, forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors

Lead us not to temptation, Jesus, but deliver us from evil

Oh Father, light, kingdom, the prophet Lord Jesus forever and ever Amen

Mmmmmm oh yeah, oh Father
