Extension Of A Man
Atco, 1973
I Know It's You
Nothing feels better than my baby's arms
They've around me a long time
Nothing feels better than some good news
Makes you glad to face the new times
I tell you nothing's better
When there's no need to look
'Cause you know who's there
I smile the world over
When I think of the past
How we past all the test
Through the good and the bad
And that's why I wanna see it by now
No, I ain't got nobody else in mind
I know it's you
No, I ain't got nobody else in mind
I know it's you
Home is the castle you built in my mind
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
I'm home anywhere, anytime
Peaceful and patience, easy taken time
It's so nice to have a simple mind
I tell you nothing's better
When there's no need to look
'Cause you know who's there
I smile the world over
When I think of the past
How we passed all the test
Through the good and the bad
And that's why I wanna see by now
No, I ain't got nobody else in mind
'Cause I know it's you
That's the reason I wanna stay right here
'Cause I ain't got nobody else in mind
I know it's you
No, I ain't got nobody else in mind
I know it's you
Lord Help Me
(Lord help me)
(Lord help me)
(Lord help me) once more again, your humble servant is calling on your name
(Lord help me) I've got something I want you to do for me
Help me to inspire those that need inspiration
Let my life be a sign of a coming generation
(Lord help me) and I'm also asking you to help my brother
(Lord help me) he needs help too Lord
Help him to know that there's a purpose for living
And Lord, hey, Lord, I want you to help him this evening
