Keeping It Cool Lyrics
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!
