My Last Day Without You - Nicole Beharie

Concrete blocks, ticking clocks

Voices from the street

Walls of stone, once my home

Lost what was so sweet

Where has all promise gone

Makes me want to hide

Take my things, they can't bring

What I need inside

This is my last day without you

This is my last song to cry to

This is the last time that I make believe the truth

That this is my last day without you

Seeds take root, send their shoot

Defying August heat,

Hear my call, rains to fall

Wash dirt from the street

How can I, find the strength

Faith to get me by

Hands to till, hearts to fill

Please Lord hear my cry

This is my last day without you

This is my last song to cry to

This is the last time that I make believe the truth

That this is my last day without you

Flowers bloom, spring renews

All the life beneath

Will love grow, heaven knows

All I've got's belief

This is my last day without you

This is my last song to cry to

This is the last time that I make believe the truth

That this is my last day without you
