Sombrero Sam Lyrics - I Long To See You - Charles Lloyd

Tried so many times to make some sense of it 

Unsure about the people in the mix 

My sacred intention 

My moment to mention 

Just what it is I was called here to do 

Love somebody, give somebody, teach somebody, touch somebody. 

And when the good gets misunderstood 

The repercussions can be cruel 

And that ain't cool 

Karma will avenge you 

I've often seen the faces of despair 

And been in situations people don't care 

They take advantage of your every move 

That ain't cool cause I'm no fool 

They monopolize your time 

Try to redesign your mind 

The very time they use to find 

You're in this love for sharing 

Love somebody, give somebody, teach somebody, touch somebody 

And when the good gets misunderstood 

The repercussions can be cruel 

And that ain't cool 

Karma will avenge you 

To me the world is stingy with love 

Everybody for self 

And when you finally find love then people hate you to death 

A constant struggle between you and your mental muscles 

Emotional paranoia with feeling nobody loves ya 

No one to reach to 

Gravity seen you 

You the one in church that the preachers will preach to 

And you're prayer just for confession 

More blessings 

Try to get protection from manic depression and keep stepping 

From mean impressions 

The supper comes with dressing 

Attached with life and karma and its own lessons 

And that's faith and love and peace and trust 

And never participate with the evil in us 

And life ain't fair when you feel wear and tear 

Remember God don't put more into you than you can bear 

And believe that to death 

A long journey don't start til the first step 

And that's life 

Love somebody, give somebody, teach somebody, touch somebody 

And when the good gets misunderstood 

The repercussions can be cruel 

And that ain't cool 

Karma will avenge you
