James Brown

Moments

(álbum: Universal James - 1993)


Moments
Moments

Time to think, time of despair
Heavy times
And when I look back
I don't see as much happiness
Love and respect, dignity and care
For your fellow human beings

So I'd like to start by saying...

Ladies and gentlemen
Young and old
Fellow people of the world:
This is Brother James Brown
Some people say: "Mr. Brown"
Some just say: "My little brother"
Now I hope you don't mind
But I'd like a few moments
Of your precious time
Sit down, check it out
To share some thoughts
That I had the other night...

As I was sitting at home
Late one evening, on my own
Just relaxing, you know
Laying back
I didn't even have the TV on
It was quiet and still inside
And I could hear the faint echoes
Of the world outside
Which somehow started me thinking

Meditating...

Where we came from
Nobody really knows
But we all have our God
I think we believe in
Nobody really knows, though
But time itself
With a long list of lost souls
That have come and gone before
But are not now no more

Then fate decided
It was time to open your door

So, roll up! Roll up!
Come and take a step
Onto this path of life
And let's see what we can get
In our continuous search
For happiness and success
While we are looking at
The outside world
We should also be looking
To ourselves
Where there's a wealth of
Knowledge and information
That will help you deal
With life's tricky situations

But sometimes, alas, that alone
Cannot save you
'Cause now there are some things in life
That you have to do for money
It's not funny if you ain't got none
'Cause you know, right now
You really need some
Unless you wanna go hungry
Have nowhere to live
With no clothes on your back
Because they don't come for free

And it doesn't matter if you're a
Pauper of a millionaire
If you're broke and busted
Man or child
You gotta make the cash
Somewhere, some way, somehow

So what will it be?
Honest hard work or begging a dime?
Selling your soul or committing a crime?

While some get an education to enhance the mind
So they can understand the system and try to find
The right solutions, with no confusion
Not to be fooled by life's illusions
Don't go for the hype
So they can find the right conclusions...

What a shame, what a shame!
We don't all have
The right intentions
For some are quite blatant
In their hostile attempts
To try and hold back
What they cannot understand,
While others smile in your face
And offer you
A so-called helping hand

So beware my people
It's ruff out there
And this not-so-big world's
Getting smaller and smaller
Everyday because of satellite
Looking down on you

Brother man, sister lady
As we see it, day by day
Slowly turn from a place to live
To a place where death comes cheap
And some people just don't seem to care
About what they're doing or
Where they're going
And just wishing they
Could get out of here
And go somewhere else hey!
Maybe a million miles away
Like in your dreams
You heard that?

Maybe a million miles away
Like in your dreams
Where everything seems to be O.K.
But maybe we don't need to go so far
For we could change it all
Right here, now, today
Today!
If we really wanted to
If we really felt that way
By turning hate and anger
Inside out to create something new
Like laughter
And all good things that
We're not used to

If we could forget
The pain
The frustration
Resist the urges
To aid the bad situations...

Then, maybe then
We can make a little headroom
And if it happened right now
It wouldn't be a moment too soon
Not a bit too soon
Because the sooner, the better
The better for all of us

Then we could live a life
In which we could trust
That all will do their best
In at least trying to help create
A new world, in which
There's much less
Of what makes the world
Seem to be bad today

Because happiness is only
A moment's thought away
Did you hear me?
Because happiness is only
A moment's thought away

You know, when I think
Of England, France, Germany
When I think of Russia, Africa
I think of communities
Brothers, cousins, sisters
Fighting and killing each other
When I think of Australia
With their own personal problems
When I think of the United States
Suffering, you know what I mean
Problems that are hurting
Each and everyday...
When I think of South America
When I think of the little countries
That we don't hear about
Hey! I say to you:

You take a moment of your time
A minute a second to care

Think! Think! Think! Think! Think! Think!

I love you, world
You, you, you, you, you, and you!

Think!

Hasta mañana, budiž den [?], bonjour
Goodbye, so long
Until the next time

Think! Think! Think! ...Think!
That's the way to think!
Turn it louder! Think!
Think! Think! Think!

feito
