Dispatch The General, What I Got, Out Loud, Marley Medley, Even Lyrics

---THE GENERAL---

there was a decorated general with a heart of gold
that likened him to all the stories he told
of pas battles won and lost and legends of old
seasoned veterans in his own time

on the battlefield he gained respectful fame
with many medals of bravery and stripes to his name
he grew a beard as soon as he could to cover the scars on his face
and always urged his men on

but on the eve of great battle
with the infantry in dream
the old general tossed in his sleep
and wrestled with his meaning
he awoke from the night
to tell what he had seen
and walked slowly out his tent

all the men held tall with their chests in the air
with courage in their blood and fire in their stare
it was a grey morning and they all wondered how they would fare
till the old general told them to go home
he said,

CHORUS:
I have seen the others
and I have discovered
that this fight is not worth figting
and i've seen their mothers
and I will know others
to follow me where I'm going

POST-CHORUS (2x):
so take a shower, shine your shoes
you got no time to lose
you are young men you must be a-living
go now you are forgiven

but the men stood fast with the guns on their shoulders
not knowing what to do with these contradicting orders
the general said he would do his own duty bout would extend it no further
the men could go as they pleased

not a man moved their eyes gazed straight ahead
till one by one they stepped back and n ot a word was said
the old general was left with his own world echoing in his head
he then prepared to fight

CHORUS
POST CHORUS (2x)

go now you are forgiven (repeat)

---WHAT I GOT---

life is to short
so love the one you got
'cuz you might get run over or you might get shot
never start no static I just get it off my chest
never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
take a small example take a tip from me
take all of your money give it all to charity
love's what i got
it's within my reach
and the sublime style's just straight from long beach
it all comes back to you you finally get what you deserve
try and test that, you're bound to get served
love's what i got
don't start a riot
you'll feel i when the dance gets hot

woh oh oh (repeat)

---OUD LOUD---

would you be the wind
to blow me home
would you be a dream
on the wings of a poem
and if we were walking
through a crowd
would you know i'd be proud, yeah

CHORUS:
if you call my name out loud
if you call my name out loud
do you suppose that i would come running
do you suppose i'd come at all?
I suppose I would

and if I was gone
from the land we know
would you be the dawn
and let your beauty still show
and you heard were i'm walking
and heard a cold night coming
would you call my name
'cuz you know i'd come running

CHORUS
