Keeping It Cool Lyrics - Singles - Denison Marrs

i wish i could've talked with you if i had the chance 

i would've walked with you 

i could've watched you live 

and watched you changing lives with how you'd always give 

no matter what the price 

i wish i could've been with you 

when all those hypocrites would run to come at you 

i could've heard you say the simple brilliant words that'd make them turn away 

and think their hate to be absurd 

how did you always stand your ground so well 

when they came at you 

how did you always seem to know just what to say and what to do 

i wish i could've followed you 

and felt the peace you'd give to who acknowledged you 

i would've watched you close 

remembering all you'd do 

practicing what you preached 

trying to follow through 

i wish i could've known your face 

and joined right by your side 

loving the human race no matter what the cost 

your strength always in place no matter how'd they hate 

you'd always show them grace 

how did you always stand your ground so well 

when they came at you 

how did you always seem to know just what to say and do 

how did you always turn it around when they tried to play you for a fool 

how did you always know when to run 

when to love, when to rage and when to keep your cool 

when they came running with their fingers pointing away from their own hands 

you turned them around without making a sound 

what was it that you wrote in the sand when they came blaming 

with their fists raising and their voices loud with betrayl and hate 

you took the fall to make a way for us all 

how sweet the sound of your amazing grace!
