PLANET EARTH

Imagine holding Planet Earth
In the palm of your hand
With no regard for your place of birth
Or claim to any land

The only thing between us now is the truth we understand
If Planet Earth was in the palm of your hand

50 years from now what will they say about us here?
Did we care for the water and the fragile atmosphere?

There are only 2 kinds of folk
And the difference they make
The ones that give
And the ones that take

Chorus:
Just like the countless bodies
That revolve around the sun
Planet Earth must now come into balance with the one,
That caused it all to be
Then we'll see His kingdom come,
So shall it be written, so shall it be sung

Imagine you could rid the Earth
Of anyone you choose
Which ones would you need the most
And which ones would you lose?

Do we want to judge another
Lest we be judged too?
Careful now... The next one might be you

(Chorus)

Imagine sending your first born
Off to fight a war
With no good reason how it started and what they are fighting for
And if they're blessed to make it home
Will they still be poor?

Pray for peace right now and forever more

(Chorus) x 2

eye love u baby, but not like eye love my guitar
oh, like eye love my guitar





SOMEWHERE HERE ON EARTH

i know u're out there
i can feel ur eyes on me
seen that face a 1000 times
if only in my dreams

i know u really want me
i can feel ur hands on me
i really wanna touch u 2
in a way im much 2 shy 2 speak

and even though
i'm all alone
4 what it's worth
u're somewhere here on earth

and i like it


i know, i know u're out there
i can feel u getting closer 2 me
i'm just wondering what u're waiting 4
when u know i am free

in this digital age, u could just page me
i know its a rage, but it just dont engage me
i like the face to face
do you want 2 do this at urs, or my place?

it's been so long
since i been with somebody
like a million years
now u're here on earth
u're here, u're here

[Renato piano]

somewhere here on earth
and i like it, i like it

listen..
i know u hear me
like a whisper in ur ear
u don't have to fear me
u r everything i hold so dear

i know u already love me
u're probably just 2 cool 2 say
somebody somewhere put u down
but that's ok, that's ok

cuz whenever when u feel
it's time 2 heal
no more
as long as i'm here on earth

(1st verse)

I know I ain't the first to tell ya
I sho bet I won't be the last
I know ur in a hurry baby
So let me make this fast

(Chorus)

Repeat Chorus

Musical break, with fun little guitar solo

(3rd verse)

U don't need 2 fix ur hair
4 somebody u don't care 4
U don't need 2 shave ur legs

I don't wanna waste ur time
If u wanna get creamy

Oh the one u wanna c baby
Oh the one u wanna c

Coming on u like thunder


Falsetto and some ad libbing
More guitar solo

FUTURE BABY MAMA

I’ve heard it said my lovers look alike
Could it be that I was looking 4 u
They were cool but something wasn’t right
They had me fooled 4 a minute and then I saw the truth

[Chorus]
None of them got what it takes
2 b a future baby mama
Gotta bend in the wind, but don’t break
2 keep your man
Show me one of them and I'll make her mine
With no more drama
Future baby mama

I’ve heard it said that I won’t treat you right (you know that ain’t right babe)
But they ain’t sure ‘cos they don't know nothing about u (.....)
You’re too secure to ever want to fuss and fight
That’s why your man never ever got a reason to doubt you

[Chorus]
None of them got what it takes
2 b a future baby mama
Gotta bend in the wind, but don’t break
To keep your man
Show me one of them and I'll make her mine
With no more drama
Future baby mama

Yeah I know you might be fine but I’ve seen it all before
Cinderella was a waste of time and oops she’s out the door
To build a house together the thing that matters more
Is under the floor--a strong foundation that last forever more

I want to make you happy, baby, happier than happy itself (oh yes)
You know what? If you’ll ever need a hand, call me I’ll help
‘Cos I got you, anywhere you wanna go, uh (oh yes)
Paris, London, Africa, San Lucas Mexico, you see, I know what you want,
What every good woman wants
A man so in love with you he can’t help but to flaunt you
Deep down I know what you want
You want your girlfriends to hate you
'Cos they can't get your man

[Chorus]
None of them got what it takes
2 b a future baby mama
Gotta bend in the wind, but don’t break
To keep your man
Show me one of them and I'll make her mine
With no more drama
Future baby mama

Mister, mister,
Love U mister

Come on

Chorus:

Call Mr Goodnight
He'll make u feel alright (what? what?)
Make U throw ur head back and holla
So nice, so nice (that's right)
Better not tell ur girlfriend (don't do it)
U can try with all ur might (all ur might)
Just can't keep a secret
'Bout goodnight, goodnight

Hey, baby, hey baby, hey, baby, sitting all alone in my courtyard
Lookin' as if U have every right
All over the world they call me Prince
But U can call me Mr Goodnight

Surely the dandies that escort u places
Imparted a rumour or two
About the parade of lovely faces
That follow me ... surely they do?

What say u 2 that, lips so inviting
It's all I can do not 2 stare
What say u 2 them, past, present and future
That u don't care (I don't care)

If so, u'll be the first, and I'll give u the keys
2 the whip of ur dreams, alright?
All over the world they call me Prince (yeah)
But U can call me Mr Goodnight

Chorus:

Call Mr Goodnight
He'll make u feel alright (alright)
Make ya throw ur head back and holla (yeah)
It's so nice, so nice
Better not tell ur girlfriend
U can try with all ur might (better not)
Just can't keep a secret
About goodnight, goodnight

Now I don't wanna put to U 2 sleep with a bunch of chatter
And a rap that really don't matter
But now that u know who I am u need 2 make plans
And all ur other pennies should scatter (scatter)

A limousine about 2 pick U up
And then took U 2 a private jet (2 fine) (yeah)
And then U gonna meet a little Spanish man
Who will offer U wine and Moet

In an hour or 2, u'll be taken to a suite
That will rock all ur wildest dreams
And on the bed 3 dresses 2 choose 1, pick 1
Then U get a call from me (ring)

Tell me which dress U chose
So I can put on, put on my matching suit
All the real guys hold ur hands up
U know how Mr Goodnight do it

Chorus:

Call Mr Goodnight (call him)
He'll make u feel alright (alright)
Make ya throw ur head back and holla (come on)
It's so nice, so nice (think I won't?)
Better not tell ur girlfriend (don't do it)
U can try with all ur might (3121)
Just can't keep a secret
About goodnight, goodnight (goodnight)

I love U baby
I don't want nobody else

Call Mr Goodnight (U can call him) (any time at all)
Call Mr Goodnight (yeah, yeah, yeah) (I love U mister)

MP3: Mike Philly in the band like jams at midnight
Before the main attraction U'll see
Slow it down somewhere here on earth
Just 2 check how ur reaction be

And if ur heartbeat goes up a notch or 2
There ain't no telling what I might do
I got a mind full of good intentions
And a mouth full of raisenets (better not tell U)

We can watch 'Chocolat' on the big screen
Before we convene in the pool (yeah)
The waterfall'll wash ur cares away
Already I love U, I do

Chorus:

Call Mr Goodnight
Make u feel alright (mister, mister)
Make ya throw ur head back and holla
It's so nice, so nice (so nice)
Better not tell ur girlfriend
U can try with all ur might (Mr Midnight)
Just can't keep a secret
About goodnight, goodnight

The energy in this field's been known to flicker lights, aye
A slip o' me with no rest, acapella moans and a break of sighs (goodnight) (call, call)
Undeterred nevertheless a masterpiece on butterscotch thighs (call, call)
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
It's time for Mr Goodnight

ALL THE MIDNIGHTS

Because I turned my eye toward you
Because I seek your hand
Every other woman envies you,
And me, every other man

A massive circle of jealousy
Is coming round again
Those prickly fingered scallywags
That masquerade as friends

Make a promise this very night
That they will no longer pose
A threat to either one of us
Then let the chapter close

For all the midnights, in the world
This one will serve us better,
If you choose to be my girl

Like Zuzu's petals,
A wonderful life, the two of us shall lead
The children of the future've all the
Spiritual food they need

The secrets that the ones before
With grace, they've come and shown
2gether with love 4 one another
We shall make them known

With the love and happy days [????] [ With the love I have/hope these days ] [????]
I number the grains of sand
Writing twelve times ever more
If I could be your man

Amethyst and rubies
Crystals and black pearls
I trade them all, just to spend with you
All the midnights, in the world

All the midnights, in the world

CHELSEA RODGERS

A model..... Used to be a role model
I dunno
Come on Chelsea!
I dunno
Come on (Uh-huh)
Ah, go ahead now Chelsea! Go ahead now!
Uh, this for Jersey right here.
Go ahead now! (Ah, ah, ah, ah)

|| Chorus ||
Chelsea Rodgers was a model
And she really rocked and rolled, yes she did
Kept her tears up in a bottle
Got enough to save her soul [ ??? ] (OR guard her mouth to save her soul OR Poured them out to save her-OR your- soul).


Ask her what she liked the most
She said, she liked to talk to Jimi's ghost, Ow!
Fantasy, her friends boast (This girl is fly) ( ??? )
Chelsea's fly, like coast to coast (Mmmm)
Hollywood or Times Square
If the party's fly, my girl is there (yes she is)
Purple's on and bounce in her hair ( ??? )
Twenty first Century hit me, Chelsea don't care (because)

|| Chorus ||

Try to catch her if you can (Come on now together)
You never see her with a man (Uh, a brother got to jump n the water)
He must be baptized, according to the masterplan,
'Fore she give up the good thang
Go ahead Chelsea! (Go ahead Chelsea!)
No cut diamonds, and designer shoes (Uh, no-no!) ( ??? )
'Cause she's too original from her head down to her feet
(We have) (If you want to) ( ??? ) ( ??? )
Chelsea don't eat no meat, still got butt like a leather seat
Go ahead Chelsea! (Go ahead Chelsea!)

|| Chorus ||

Go ahead Chelsea! (Speak on that horn)
Come on
Next to her they just a fool
Chelsea read more books than a few
Moses was a Pharoah in the 18th Dynasty *
And Rome was chillin' in Carthage in 33 BCE ( ??? )
And the day that we stop counting, we live as long as a tree.
Go ahead Chelsea, teach me! Go ahead Chelsea.
Make a promise to your higher self, get you nothing, fame and wealth
You don't be chasing nobodies ghost. Of everything, make the most (Come on!)

|| Chorus || x 2

Ad libs and 'Go on Chelsea' chants.....

Shake it like a juicy juice X 4 ( ??? )

LION OF JUDAH

Sitting on the floor of an all white room
Feeling like the color blue

Thinking about the words that I can use
2 get this through 2 U

A million mistakes and then some
I've made with the 1's before

I've probably passed my expiration date
But still I adore U
Adore U....

Looking 4 the energy 2 take U there
The places that U wanna go

Knowing if I do, U'r fully aware
The press will turn it in to a show (A show)

Everyone expects this outcome
But still they jump 4 all the [crew ?/ clues ?]

I guess I should be happy but I'm still not
Sure that U really love me.....
love me.....
love me.....
love me.....
U love me.....

Like the lion of Judah (Judah)
I'll strike my enemies down

As my god is living
Surely the trumpet will sound

There was 1 who would stand by my side
Through the the good and the bad

Let that 1 stand with pride
The best that I ever had
Like the lion of Judah

Driving away with a smile on my face
Wind blowing through my hair

Wondering how U'll feel when U find out
How much I really care ( care)

Hoping that the tears roll down ur face (Down ur face)
Your body grasp who we are (Who are we?)

2 gypsy beggers who only
by Vegas came 2 be a star
A super star
A star
That's what we are...

Like the lion of judah (Judah)
I'll strike my enemies down

As my god is living
Surely the trumpet will sound

Lion.....judah
Lion.....judah


Like the lion of judah (Judah)
I'll strike my enemys down
Like the lion of judah (Judah)
Surely U....gonna hear the trumpet sound
Hear the trumpet sound

(ohhh)
Lion....Judah ...
Judah.....

The lion of judah

RESOLUTION

(Come with it)
(Yeah..yeah..ohh)

The main problem with war
Is that nobody ever wins
The next generation grows up
And learns how 2 do it all over again.

No matter who started the argument
Just matters how each one ends
How many people really want resolution?

The main problem with people
Is they never do what they say (They say)
1 Minute they want peace (Want peace)
Then do everything 2 make it go away

Dropping bombs on each other
In the act of saving face
Tell me now people how is that resolution ?

Either U do or U don't
Either U will or U won't
Making amends (Make amends)
Is a difficult pill 2 swallow

What can we lose if we try?
With no water, A flower dies
With love in the lead
Resolution will follow

(Ohh, Yes it will)
Resolution

(Ohh yeah)
Love is like a circle
No beginning and no end
A broken heart will mend
If U love it like your best friend

Handle ur heart with care
It's as delicate as a wing
When the storms come again
Pray for resolution

Either U will or U won't (Either U will or U won't)
Either U do or U don't

Will U want resolution?
(Either U do or U don't)
Come On eveybody
All over the world
(La,la,la,la,la)
All over the world
(Do,do, do, do, do)
Tell me now
How many people really want resolution?

I didn't, but someone else did. I got all that from a thread on HQ.

Thank you for everyone from the .ORG and HQ who took the time to figure out lyrics over the past few weeks.

This is one strange introduction to an album, and I am glad I am paying attention to it!

I will be waiting until 7/24/07 to buy and listen to it proper style.

Ohh..im a member too...Thanks HQ

allstatenorthside said:

co-sign,
the Lyrics help in the Wake of the Wait

Can't wait to hear "Somewhere Here On Earth"...I choked up just reading the lyrics, 'cause it's exactly how I feel...I have not choked up up on a Prince song since "Until You're In My Arms Again" from New Power Soul. Most orgers think that song is cheesy but it really touched me...especially the part at the end when he says "C'mon back, babe..." Disregard me. I think I'm a little touchy today because the UK gets to hear Planet Earth and the US don't.

somewhere here on earth is stunning, its my favourite prince ballad , its like scandalous mixed with power fantastic and until you're in my arms

i cant believe orgers are bitching about this cd.. its not as good as gold experience but its certainly got more rock and stronger tracks than 3121.
