[Intro]
Don't worry, don't worry, don't owrry nuh mummy, no mummy
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry nuh mummy
No mummu oh no

[Chorus]
Mummy open up di door please nuh

One day we go have everything, we need
Swear from mi heart soon
But mummy open up di door please nuh
The love inna mi heart fi yuh cyaa move
One day we a go have everything, we need
Swear from mi heart soon
[Verse 1]
Mi see Benz pon Tv
Mummy why we doh have none
Mummy why we poor and dem rich
When me get big mi a change it
Daddy food look thin pon di pay slip

Wish me coulda fly guh a moon pon a space ship
But mankind a guh deh deh wid di same shh

[Chorus]
Mummy open up di door please nuh

The love inna mi heart fi yuh cyaa move
One day we a go have everything, we need
Swear from mi heart soon
[Verse 2]
Rich man live life like kings
While wench on nights work
What the price of a ghetto yte life worth
Mummy wah mi fi save mi fi gaah church
Want a house first
Dem say it is a white man's world
But mi stand up pon my dirt
Badmind block the road fi mi divert
Mi nuh care which colour dem come with
If your heart ugly it ugly
[Chorus]
Mummy open up di door please nuh
Mi know you a cry inna di bathroom
One day we go have everything, we need
Swear from mi heart soon
But mummy open up di door please nuh
The love inna mi heart fi yuh cyaa move
One day we a go have everything, we need
Swear from mi heart soon
[Bridge]
Don't worry, don't worry, don't owrry nuh mummy, no mummy
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry nuh mummy
No mummu oh no
Don't worry mummy tings soon fine
Mi a step up inna life
Mi soon memba dem days ya
Like once upon a time
Like, like once upon a time
[Chorus]
Mummy open up di door please nuh
Mi know you a cry inna di bathroom
One day we go have everything, we need
Swear from mi heart soon
But mummy open up di door please nuh
The love inna mi heart fi yuh cyaa move
One day we a go have everything, we need
Swear from mi heart soon

You must know that moment
When the miserable world cracks open
You finally meet someone

Suddenly the chapter's written

Six months with nothing other
Than a duvet and a jug of water
It's a chemical jackpot babe
And we've got the winning number

Give me the first six months of love
Give me the first six months of love
Before the truth comes spilling out
Before you open your big mouth
One of the finest things in life
Gone on a serotonin ride
God knows I've waited long enough
Give me the first six months
First six months of love

Before begin the dissections
Before the therapy sessions
We danced the night we met
Now we need dancing lessons

Remember how it all began
We must not let habit set in
Come up the stairs, let's recommence
The first six months over again

Give me the first six months of love
Give me the first six months of love
Before the truth comes spilling out
Before you open your big mouth
One of the finest things in life
Gone on a serotonin ride
Babe if we gonna stick it out
Give me the first six months
First six months of love

This is a total cliché, but I love Rise Up by Andra Day

You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains
And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousands times again
For you
For you
For you
For you
When the silence isn't quiet
And it feels like it's getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying
But I promise we'll take the world to its feet
And move mountains
We'll take it to its feet
And move mountains
And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And…
And in the end, we were all just humans... Drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness.

We barely remember
Who or what came before
This precious moment
Choosing to be here
Right now
Hold on
Stay inside
This body
Holding me
Be my reminder here that
I am not alone in
This body
Makes me feel
Eternal
All this pain is an illusion

inspirational to me check this out,..
Rising up back on the streets took my time, took my chances
when the distance now im back on my feet
Just a man in his will to survive
so many times, it happens to fast
You change your passion for glory
Dont lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
ITS THE EYE OF THE TIGER its the cream of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
As the last known survivor stalks the prey in the night
And hes watching us all in the EYE OF THE TIGER.
These lyrics motivate me to never give up in this life, work harder, and never lets any soul get you down. Be the best at everything you do in your life.

"I know there's nothing I can do to change it
But is it something that can be negotiated?
My heart's already breaking, baby, go on twist the knife"

Lines from Love You Goodbye- One Direction

Or

"Can we take the same road, two days in the same clothes
And I know just what she'll say, if I can make all this pain go
Can we stop this for a minute?
You know, I can tell that your heart isn't in it or with it"

I went to see the preacher to teach me how to pray
He looked at me and smiled
Then that preacher turned away
He said if you want to tell him something
You ain't gotta fold your hands
Say it with your heart, your soul and believe it
And I'd say amen

Bang a drum for the sinners
Bang a drum for the sins
Bang a drum for the losers
And those who win
Bang a drum, bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
Bang a drum for yourself son
And a drum for me
Ooh, let me hear you say yeah (yeah), hallelujah, amen

Bang A Drum

"I can only imagine" by Mercy Me provides both a sense of mystery, invoking the imagination, as well as clear visual cues, bringing us to our knees in awe!

"I can only imagine what it will be like when I walk by Your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see when Your face is before me
I can only imagine, yeah

Surrounded by Your glory Wwat will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You, Jesus or in awe of You be still?

Will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all?

I can only imagine, I can only imagine,

I can only imagine when that day comes and I find myself standing in the sun/son
I can only imagine when all I will do is forever—forever worship You."

The Greatest Love of All” by Whitney Houston

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest
Love of all is happening to me
I found the greatest
Love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

And you know nobody knows how you feel
'Cause everybody's got their own damn problems
So everybody's tryna find their way
Day by day is a struggle
In this world, you know you have to hustle.
