ADELE - MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE

When the rain is blowing in your face


And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years


To make you feel my love.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue.

No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do


To make you feel my love.
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.

Ballad of Birmingham By Dudly Randall

“Mother dear, may I go downtown


Instead of out to play,
And march the streets of Birmingham
In a Freedom March today?”

“No, baby, no, you may not go,


For the dogs are fierce and wild,
And clubs and hoses, guns and jails
Aren’t good for a little child.”

“But, mother, I won’t be alone.


Other children will go with me,
And march the streets of Birmingham
To make our country free.”

“No, baby, no, you may not go,


For I fear those guns will fire.
But you may go to church instead
And sing in the children’s choir.”

She has combed and brushed her night-dark hair,


And bathed rose petal sweet,
And drawn white gloves on her small brown hands,
And white shoes on her feet.

The mother smiled to know her child


Was in the sacred place,
But that smile was the last smile
To come upon her face.

For when she heard the explosion,


Her eyes grew wet and wild.
She raced through the streets of Birmingham
Calling for her child.

She clawed through bits of glass and brick,


Then lifted out a shoe.
“O, here’s the shoe my baby wore,
But, baby, where are you?”
