Denison Marrs – Keeping It Cool lyrics

I wish i could've talked with you if i had the chance
I would've walked with you
I could've watched you live
And watched you changing lives with how you'd always give
No matter what the price
I wish i could've been with you
When all those hypocrites would run to come at you
I could've heard you say the simple brilliant words that'd make them turn away
And think their hate to be absurd
How did you always stand your ground so well
When they came at you
How did you always seem to know just what to say and what to do
I wish i could've followed you
And felt the peace you'd give to who acknowledged you
I would've watched you close
Remembering all you'd do
Practicing what you preached
Trying to follow through
I wish i could've known your face
And joined right by your side
Loving the human race no matter what the cost
Your strength always in place no matter how'd they hate
You'd always show them grace
How did you always stand your ground so well
When they came at you
How did you always seem to know just what to say and do
How did you always turn it around when they tried to play you for a fool
How did you always know when to run
When to love, when to rage and when to keep your cool
When they came running with their fingers pointing away from their own hands
You turned them around without making a sound
What was it that you wrote in the sand when they came blaming
With their fists raising and their voices loud with betrayl and hate
You took the fall to make a way for us all
How sweet the sound of your amazing grace!
