Hey now here we go let's start the show Suppose you know to call me 'Lo But you can call me The Soul Machine Watch â?? Hey yeah â?? See what I mean? Four million flavors of the southern soul flower But the power that you get from the heart of a human being Only the mind is mechanic the dynamic happens When the divine starts to intervene Have mercy if I seem to be heavy I don't mean to be heavy But "Come save me," said this last fiend 'Cause the beginning and the ending and the misa**umption Will make 'em move something in between [Bridge] It's like I'm standing on my tippy-toes to touch a star (a star) Trying to catch joy in other's jar And yes by far I'm so much further than they are Hey [Chorus] Turn the radio on, let the music play If I could I'd dance my life away And if you can't seem to find any words to say Make a joy-ful noise, fifth around it's another day When you see me you would know that you saw me Because he always got on his game and his good shoes Difficult to stop creating can't wait But they came to see God then great tell 'em the good news Isn't it ironic how it feels so good? But I was only just singing the blues I wouldn't open my mouth about it at all If I thought that I was only just singing the fool Have mercy if I seem to be heavy I don't mean to be heavy Maybe 'Lo you should lighten up I really would if I could But I really don't think that anybody shell out enough And I really think true wealth is home and happiness and health A little cash and you'll need nothing else And as far as me being good, I can't help myself Hey [Chorus] So when you really really need you some soul I mean dead serious damn near bout to die bout some Don't be too proud to turn your radio way up loud Close your eyes and have fun I used to feel like God was gonna call me too soon The reason why I had to have my son And every time I've ever opened my mouth and said something Bout living was to earn my ones Have mercy if I seem to be heavy I don't mean to be heavy Wait I'm almost done And God can truly work a miracle â?? Look at me Isn't it obvious that I'm one? And I sing because I'm happy And I sing because I'm free (I'm free) And this my own little thing yes I agree But don't you want your kids to grow up to be just like me? Hey [Chorus]
