Part of Me

Rain, such a simple thang

Every drop, a different stop

But they all come from the same

God is the cloud

And we are the rain

That's why I sometimes feel

That somehow we are the same

Whenever I lay my head to sleep

There's a strong thought that keeps haunting my mind

Careless whispers of a nation

That somehow was caught trapped in the dark

And nowhere to go

I know my thoughts are tellin' me

Gotta be a part of me

I can feel it

Gotta be a part of me

In my heart, in my soul

Gotta be a part of me

The world must be callin' me

And my world comes from within

Life has no guarantees

That you'll keep what you have

Even though you're blessed with then

That's why I'm feeling

Some fear for the world

With all the grief and misery

How much real time is there?

The sooner I take more responsibilities

I can truly say

I am grateful for my world

The irony of tryin' to do the right thing

Is whatever you do, some will undo

And sometimes destroy

And there's someone still left in darkness

And you say

Gotta be a part of me

I can feel it

Gotta be a part of me

In my heart, in my soul

Gotta be a part of me

Callin' me from the depths of my soul

Gotta be a part of me

Making it part of you, part of me

Everything must combine to be fine

The world is what we make it

What we see today

Are the results of the mistakes they made yesterday

And what we see tomorrow

Will be the results of what we do today

It's a shame that peace and respect

Have been replaced with money and power

The children, they are the futures

So teach them how to love themselves

And they will love others

Don't you see, love - that's the key

Gotta be a part of me

I can feel it

Gotta be a part of me

In my heart and my soul

Gotta be a part of me

And my world is callin' me

Gotta be a part of me

'Cause my world comes from within

Gotta be a part of me

Making me, making me, making me a part of the whole

Gotta be a part of me

I can feel it

Gotta be a part of me

You're a part of me, they're a part of me

Gotta be a part of me

We're a part of each other, you and me, yeah

Gotta be a part of me

They're a part of me

Gotta be a part of me

Oh, oh, oh

Gotta be a part of me
