Honesty
If you search for tenderness
It isn't hard to find.
You can have the love you need to live.
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind.
It always seems to be so hard to give.
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
I can always find someone
To say they sympathize.
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
I can find a lover.
I can find a friend.
I can have security until the bitter end.
Anyone can comfort me
With promises again.
I know, I know.
When I'm deep inside of me
Don't be too concerned.
I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone.
When I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn.
'Cause you're the one that I depend upon.
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

All About Soul
She waits for me at night,
she waits for me in silence
She gives me all her tenderness
and takes away my pain
And so far she hasn't run,
though I swear she's had her moments
She still believes in miracles
while others cry in vain
It's all about soul
It's all about faith and a deeper devotion
It's all about soul
'Cause under the love is a stronger emotion
She's got to be strong
'Cause so many things getting out of control
Should drive her away
So why does she stay?
It's all about soul
She turns to me sometimes
and she asks me what I'm dreaming
And I realize I must have gone
a million miles away
And I ask her how she knew
to reach out for me at that moment
And she smiles because it's understood
there are no words to say
It's all about soul
It's all about knowing what someone is feeling
The woman's got soul
The power of love and the power of healing
This life isn't fair
It's gonna get dark, it's gonna get cold
You've got to be tough, but that ain't enough
It's all about soul
It's all about soul
...
There are people who have lost
every trace of human kindness
There are many who have fallen,
there are some who still survive
And she comes to me at night
and she tells me her desires
and she gives me all the love I need
to keep my faith alive
It's all about soul
It's all about joy that comes out of sorrow
It's all about soul
Who's standing now and who's standing tomorrow
You've got to be hard
Hard as the rock in that old rock 'n' roll
But that's only part, you know in your heart
It's all about soul
