The Ladies 04:29
The Ladies cannot promise they'll stay within their limit 'Cause as it happens, revelation takes some time But they can promise you -- ooh a song worth singing loud enough to drown out all those doubts in your mind LA LA LA ... The Ladies cannot promise that they will never be irreverent They've been doing this long enough, they’ve earned that right But they can promise you -- ooh a laugh that comes straight from the belly and a look so present it'll make you cry -y-y-y LA LA LA ... Here comes the bridge because Ladies love Bridge ... The Ladies (xx) never stick to the script The Ladies (xx) don't have time for your – (Instrumental vamp) The Ladies cannot promise they'll stick to their time limit Do not imagine that you can leave them alone for just one minute The Ladies cannot promise Hmm that the whole will be equal to the sum of its parts And if that's your premise, prepare for disappointment right from the start LA LA LA … (Repeat bridge) The Ladies cannot promise they'll color inside any of the lines But if you stick with them ... Yaye bababa yaye bye bum ... YA LA LA ... LA LA LA ...

When all is ended, Yah alone will reign, wondrous and majestic. Yah was, Yah is, Yah will be glorious and eternal Yah is unique and without equal; none can compare. Without beginning and endlessness, the Divine dominion is not shared. And yet - my Source, my only hope, my one true refuge in troubling times, My miracle, filler of my cup, with real and abundant goodness. I place my spirit in the Creator's hand, when I sleep and when I wake. And with my breath, Yah is with me; I have no fear.
