歌词：Prince. Anna Stesia.

If U know the words 2 this song, sing along
If not, U better ask somebody
Have U ever been so lonely
That U felt like U were the only one in this world?
Have U ever wanted 2 play with someone so much
U'd take any one boy or girl?

CHORUS:
Anna Stesia come 2 me, talk 2 me, ravish me
Liberate my mind
Tell me what U think of me, praise me, craze me
Out this space and time

Between white and black, night and day
Black night seemed like the only way
So I danced
Music late, nothing great
No way 2 differentiate
I took a chance

Gregory looks just like a ghost
Then a beautiful girl the most
Wets her lips 2 say
"We could live 4 a little while
If U could just learn 2 smile
U and I could fly away, fly away"
Yeah...

CHORUS

Maybe, maybe, maybe I could learn 2 love
I mean the right way, Los Angeles
Perhaps U could show me, baby

Maybe, maybe, maybe I could learn 2 love
Ah, if I was just closer 2 somethin'
Closer 2 your higher self? I don't know
Closer 2 heaven? Uh unh
Closer 2 God, yeah, closer 2 God

Save me Lord, I've been a fool
How could I forget U are the rule
I am Your child, oh yes I am Your child
From now on, I shall be wild
I shall be quick, I shall be strong
I'll tell Your story no matter how long
No matter, no matter, yeah

We're just a play in Your master plan
Now, my Lord, I understand

refrain:
Love is God, God is love
Girls and boys love God above {repeated and also by audience}

Y'all sing

L.A. {x3}
Los Angeles
Oh no no no no no
Clap your hands {x4}

I heard some of y'all singing the chorus the first time
But I need everybody singing the chorus
How many of y'all believe in God?
How many of U worship God?
How many of U know how God wants 2 be worshiped?
And that's where the agreement falls down, right?
20 churches in a one mile radius
Everybody's at different churches worshiping different ways
Oh we should champion our diversity, huh
We should champion our similarities
Not our differences
We should meet on a higher level
Instead of looking at white, black, rich and poor
Young, old
Differences, differences, diversity
Let's meet, let's meet somewhere higher
Rainbow children, U know what I'm talkin' about
NPG Music Club, put your hand up
NPG Music Club, they in the good seats
Now if y'all wanna be down here with us, U gotta join the club
But look at'cha, U're up high, U're up high
Now I need 2 hear your voices in that same aspect - high
I wanna hear strong, high voices singing:
Love is God, God is love
Girls and boys love God above
Can U do that?
Now I played 4 U, can U do that 4 me before I go home?
Everybody, show 'em what to do
(refrain) {repeated by audience}
Sing it y'all
Sing it like U mean it, come on band
Clap your hands, somebody
Renato, let's give Candy some
Candy, toot a little bit
That's the groove, y'all, that's the groove
That's how we going home 2night - in harmony and in love

Rise up, just talking about 2 words
I said rise up, 2 words, talking about going higher
Said rise up, if U with me out there, sing it now
Rise up, oh Lord
Upstairs, if U up high, sing
(Rise up) {repeated}
Pray 4 the children, U've got 2 (rise up)
U got 2 (rise up)

Thank U L.A., good night

Los Angeles, put your hands 2gether 4 Renato Neto on keyboards
Rhonda Smith on the bass
And the man, John Blackwell on the drums
And on the horns we got Greg Boyer on the trombone
The lady in the middle from Holland, Miss Candy Dulfer
And on the alto saxophone, the teacher, Mr. Maceo Parker
Oh yeah yeah, on the one

"With an accurate understanding of God and His law
they went about the work of building a new nation:
the Rainbow Children."
