If Your Love Cannot Be Moved Lyrics - Kim Burrell

You can't say we shall and not fight through hell 

You can't say we will and not dare to deal 

You can't shout out peace and then vanish in the crowd 

You can't ride the storm without some effect 

You can't steal the spoil and not pay the debt 

You can't wave a sign that spells "evil" and feel really proud 

You can't sing a song with no melody 

You can't say we're one without unity 

You can't form a line if you're sacred to stand alone 

You can't pray for grace and then smack her face 

You can't speak of hope and then crack a joke 

You can say you're there but time knows how much you've grown 

Put a face to your somebody 

Can you say your name? 

Or would you rather stay unknown? 

Can you show your face? 

Or are you fearful of it shown? 

Can you feel your heart? 

Or does it beat for you alone? 

Lift your glass up high 

Say that your truth will never lie 

If your love cannot be moved 

You can't look at me and not see yourself 

You can't say "for them" and not for who else 

You can't truly bless and not bless the good of all 

You can't serve the rich and desert the poor 

You can't hear their cries and just close the door 

You can't say you're down and not take it to the wall 

You can't benefit from one's detriment 

You can't find the serum and not cure the sick 

You can't free the slave to enslave them differently 

You can't see the right only from your sight 

You can't see the wrong and just go along 

Or is that the way you would want your fate to read 

Put a face to your somebody 

Can you say your name? 

Or would you rather stay unknown? 

Can you show your face? 

Or are you fearful of it shown? 

Can you feel your heart? 

Or does it beat for you alone? 

Lift your glass up high 

Say that your truth will never lie 

If your love cannot be moved 

You can't make a pledge and then slip the script 

You can't say the words and not move your lips 

You can't be confused and still say you understand 

You can't be a friend but not through thin and thick 

You can't be a click but in danger split 

You can't evenly share and then grab the biggest hand 

You can't say you do but then show you don't 

You can't say you will and make sure you won't 

You can't want for change and not do what you need to do 

You can't give up all and then take back all you give 

You can't live to die but you can die to live 

Or is that too much to ask of the you in you? 

Put a face to your somebody 

Can you say your name? 

Or would you rather stay unknown? 

Can you show your face? 

Or are you fearful of it shown? 

Can you feel your heart? 

Or does it beat for you alone? 

Lift your glass up high 

Say that your truth will never lie 

If your love cannot be moved
