Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're here, I'm pleased, I really dig your company
Your style, your smile, your peace mentality
Lord, have mercy on me, I was blind, now I can see
What a king's supposed to be
Baby, I feel free, come on and go with me
[Chorus]
Let's take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elations, stimulation
Share our situation, temptation, education, relaxation
Elevation, maybe we can talk about Surah 31:18
[Verse 2]
Your background, it ain't squeaky clean
Sometimes we all got to swim upstream
You ain't no saint, we all are sinners
But you put your good foot down and make your soul the winner
I respect that, man, you're so phat and you're all that plus supreme
Then you're humble, man, I'm numb
Your feelin', I can feel everything that you bring
[Chorus]
Let's take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elations, stimulations
Share our situation, temptation, education, relaxation
Elevation, maybe we can talk about Revelations 3:17
[Verse 3]
Or maybe we could see a movie
Or maybe we could see a play on Saturday
Or maybe we could roll a tree
And feel the breeze and listen to a symphony
Or maybe chill and just be or maybe
Maybe we can take a cruise and listen to the Roots
Or maybe eat some passion fruit
Or maybe cry to the blues
Or maybe we could just be silent
Come on, come on
[Chorus]
Let's take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elations, stimulations
Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxation
Elevation, maybe we can talk about Psalms in entirety
[Chorus]
Let's take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elations, stimulations
Share our situation, temptation, education, relaxation
Elevation, maybe we can talk about Psalms in entirety
[Bridge]
Or maybe we could see a movie
Or maybe we could see a play on Saturday
Or maybe we could roll a tree
And feel a breeze and listen to a symphony (And feel a breeze and listen to a symphony)
Or maybe chill and just be or maybe (Or maybe we can chill and just be or maybe)
Maybe we can take a cruise and listen to the Roots (Maybe we can take a cruise and listen to the Roots)
Or maybe eat some passion fruit (Eat some passion fruit)
Or maybe cry to the blues (Or maybe cry to the blues)
Or maybe we could just be silent
Come on
[Outro]
Let's take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elations, stimulation
Share our situation, temptations, education, relaxation
Elevation, maybe, baby, maybe we could save the nation
Come on, come on
