Nina Simone - No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed lyrics

Step out in the night when you're lonely
Listening for the sounds
That your ears don't hear

I know your cross is heavier
With every step, every step but I know a man
And he'd walk miles for you

Stop, you stay where you are
Take a look at yourself
Take a good look at yourself
Can tell your momma she'd only tell ya
That she told you so

The life you're leading she won't believe
The riches of life we all know

Dawn turns to day and the dawning
Daytime, nighttime and we still can't see

Why must we wait until the morning light
To wake up and be wake up and be

Wake up and be wake up and be
Wake up and be

Step out in the night when you're lonely
Listen for the sounds
That your ears don't hear

I know your cross is heavier
With every step, every step but I know a man
Who'd walk miles for you

Stop, you stay where you are
Take a look at yourself
Take a good look at yourself

Can tell your momma she'd only tell ya
That she told you so

The life you're leading she won't believe
The riches of life we all know

Can tell your momma she'd only tell ya
That she told you so

The life you're leading she won't believe
The riches of life we all know
