Lay it all down
?Let your wife? put a smile on
All the ones who stand and frown
Repeat 1
[Latifah]
>Stand and frown
You need to know
So c`mon
[Meredith]
2 - We were so close, there was no room
Bled inside, each other`s wound
We all had caught the same disease
We all sang the songs of peace

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
C`mon
Lay it down now
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
[Latifah]
What if I told you you were stupid
Destructive, solace, callous, murderous
Malignant, belligerent, ignorant
Would you believe me, would you like that?
Or would you prove me wrong and fight back?
I`d like to take the sunshine right from the sky
And let it shine on you through my eyes
See we all in the same boat tryin` to float
So everybody grab a ore, we could make it to shore
For sure
Repeat 1

[Latifah]
C`mon, c`mon
Uh
Repeat 2

Some came to see
Some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
[Meredith] (Latifah)
So raise the candles high
Cuz if ya don`t, we could fade black against the night (light it up)
Oh, raise them higher again (higher again, c`mon)
And if ya do, we could be dry against the rain (uh, yeah)
Repeat 1 to fade
