Willing - 2025 Wax Alchemy Remastered歌词

作曲 : SCOTT HERON GIL
作词 : SCOTT HERON GIL
[Verse 1]
We’ve all heard so many conflicting words
About life, whether wrong or right
Of how you gotta be working hard
And it ain’t no easy job
To survive, just keeping alive
We’ve all come to think of ourselves as links
In a chain, so much to gain
We are the ones that tie our fathers to our sons
Don’t you know that’s how we grow?

[Chorus]
What my life really means is that the songs that I sing
Are just pieces of a dream that I’ve been building
And we can make a stand and hey, I’m reaching out my hand
‘Cause I know damn well we can if we are willing
But we gotta be willing
Got to be willing
Got to be willing
Got to be willing

[Verse 2]
Well, we’ve all been so close to getting in
It’s always nice, with no sacrifice
But times have changed, and it’s no longer strange
To make a few corrections in our direction
‘Cause being strong is more than just holding on
To advance, you gotta take a chance
Waiting on line, it ain’t nothing but marking time
You won’t get nowhere just standing there
See upcoming R&B shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists

[Chorus]
What my life really means is that the songs that I sing
Are just pieces of a dream that I’ve been building
And we can make a stand and hey, I’m reaching out my hand
‘Cause I know damn well we can if we are willing
But we gotta be willing
Got to be willing
Got to be willing
Got to be willing
