Bronx Poem Lyrics - Tank Full Of Blues - Dion

I was born in the Bronx on a strong day 

I guess you can say 

The beat in the street, the streetcar sound 

The singin' in the moonlight, the pure light 

The harmony's tight 

Informed we can fight 

We got heart 

And for [unintelligible] 

Yo, when I'm inside a song 

I'm strong, I can't go wrong, It's where I belong 

Come along, it's good, it's bad 

Who said it was perfect 

Only God is perfect 

Only God is good

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Man he blessed me beyond my wildest dreams 

I can sing from the highest mountain 

I can sing from the highest rooftop 

I'm talkin' life, I'm talkin' beauty 

Truth, love, hate, scammin', lyin', dyin' 

Yo, life is hard 

But life is the art 

It's better to be clean than to be cluttered 

Clean of soul, that is 

My God is the Creator, not a dictator, 

He's the life-giving lover, 

My father, no other, my brother, my best friend 

Never lied to me, even died for me 

Life is good 

We're talkin' you 

We're talkin' sweet Sue 

We're talkin' virtue 

We're talkin' faith, hope, love, wisdom, 

Courage, honesty, patience 

Photos 

Then there's blue skies, 

There's miracles 

There's families and babies and crazies 

Changes you won't believe 

I got aces up my sleeve 

And God keeps blessin' me 

In spite of me 

He's the best 

If I didn't know me I'd be impressed. 

I don't wanna underestimate what He can do in my life 

He brought me you in my life 

He brought me through all this strife 

Everybody here, we've been through it all 

Real joy, closeness, distance, journey, the ups, the downs 

The issues, the tissues, the drugs, the thugs, the drinkin', the stinkin' thinkin', 

Throw up, grow up 

Tears, fears, torn, mourn, reborn 

Yo! Hallelujah! 

I've never been the same, took away my shame 

I used to play the blame game 

How lame 

Man I got a wife who drives me sane 

Here I am authentic, genuine, a truth-teller, no bullshit 

Don't have a fit, 

God's on his throne 

He's in control 

Heroes, villains, king, queens, saints, sinners, 

James Dean, Norma Jean, mmm vanilla ice cream 

Elvis, Buddy, Hank 

Honky-tonk blues guitars, cars, bars 

Yo! Stand proud, rock around, do-wop, be-bop, rock-and-roll, good for the soul 

The Yankees, JFK, I did it my way, rock and roll is here to stay 

Ain't that the truth 

Martin Luther king, say what you mean, mean what you say, but don't be mean 

I have a dream, he paid his dues, king of the delta blues 

Elvis Aaron Presley played that thing, rock and roll king, 

I ride with the King of kings 

He brought me through, thanks to you, and you and you. 

Man I'm glad we've got each other, that's where it's at, no doubt about that, 

With great love and affection 

The kid from the Bronx 

Rave on.
