Life’s Opera

This is a story, about life
Mostly, about my life
And ooh, people, I want to share it with you

If in some way I can help someone
Maybe someone is lost and needs to see the light
Oh listen, people, I have a story, a life's opera

Get down, they never said we couldn't get down
Long as we added in the fun sometime
Get down, they never said we couldn't get down
Long as we added in the fun sometime

Oh babe, this is it
A song about life, oh baby
[?] listen to my song
For all those
Who feel they want to know the way, aw babe

Listen (Listen) to the truth
Listen (Listen) to the way
I see you, Jesus (Jesus) and Buddha (Buddha)
And Jehovah (Jehovah)
And Martin (Martin) and Malcolm (And Malcolm)
And all men who knew the way
All men died for you

Listen (Listen), listen (Listen) and understand (Understanding)
Check it out and I'm sure the truth will live
Listen (Listen) and see (Listen)
That your life will be something greater than (Listen)
You ever expected to be

Call on the Lord (Get down)
Oh, hear me (Never said we couldn't get down)
The Lord will listen to me (Get down)
Listen my brothers, listen my sisters
(Never said we couldn't get down)
Oh, love the Lord
Lalala Amen ah

The devil is trying to do his work
He'll make you feel like it's righteous
Give you justification
Oh but you gotta look through and see the light there
You can't make wrong right y'all
You see, there got to be two sides in all the balance, oh yes it is
Stood up on the line and choose your side
Maybe it'll take you a little longer, babe, understand what's right
Oh but I believe [?] (I believe...yes, I believe)
I believe all these dreams will come true someday (I believe...yes, I believe)

Maybe the way you don't realize, oooh
(Marching) Brother, keep on marching (Marching, keep on marching, marching, marching, marching, marching)
Keep on marching
What they died for
Don't forget, don't forget (Moving)
Keep a tear in your heart (Moving, keep on moving, moving, moving, moving, moving)
Oh keep on [?]
Closer to the light
Oh people, you know (People)
Said it from my heart
Keep on marching, marching, marching, marching...marching
Closer, closer to God, you'll save me
Oh yes you will
[?]

Our Father which art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
Oh Father, on earth as it is heaven
Give us this day, Jesus, our daily bread
Oh Father, forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors
Lead us not to temptation, Jesus, but deliver us from evil
Oh Father, light, kingdom, the prophet Lord Jesus forever and ever Amen
Mmmmmm oh yeah, oh Father
