Song: US

Written by Atiim Chenzira (2010)

Verse 1:

I’ve been waiting for this moment, to tell you what’s on my mind.

It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve seen you when you’ve loved me,

And you know I want to press rewind.

Fast forward to the present, and I still have love, in my heart, bursting from the seams.

I’ve seen you stumble, even fall,  pick you up, dust you off, stick together just to touch our dreams.

I’ve got your back, you’ve got mine; now that’s the way that it’s supposed to be.

Through hell or high water, even rain or drought; working hard just to set us free.

Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing should be up in our way. Nothing should get up in our way.

Chorus A:

Did you imagine, did you imagine you and me, me and you, you and I, just the two of us?

Can you imagine, can you imagine you and me, me and you, you and I, just the two of us?

Bridge:

Ooh oooh gurl, ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.

Ooh oooh gurl, ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.

Ooh oooh gurl, ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.

Ooh oooh gurl, ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.

Verse 2:

If you go your way, I guess I have to go mine.

I’d rather talk about it. Maybe we can sift through this ash to find;

the essence of the beauty.

That’s the square of the root and seed.

Maybe we can stay together, friends we’ll have to try and be.

One foot in front of the other, each day at a time;

You’re etched inside my soul, and a beautiful fixture in my mind.

My heart beats for the magic; we’ve shared before this path.

One plus one it equals two, but three came and messed the math.

Chorus A:

Did you imagine, did you imagine you and I, me and you, just the two of us?

Can you imagine, can you imagine you and me, me and you, you and I, just the two of us?

Rap:

I like the Santa Cruz weather, with the ‘Well Within’;

Sipping drinks at our favorite bar, feeling the wind.

Let the Sun go down on our way back home.

Let the stars come out.

No we’re never alone.

Two pieces of the puzzle, and the pictures grand, if you hold my hand, 

well gurl, I’ll be your man.

Let the Ocean crash waves as we coast along.

Filled up with love that we both belong.

Time after time in this pattern of stress, we do our best, and give to God, the rest.

Take risks in our routine that drain us both.

Set goals to achieve as it all unfolds.

Chorus B:

Just me and you, gurl, you and I.

We touch the sky, and we fly so high.

Just me and you, gurl, you and I.

We touch the sky, and we fly so high.

Just me and you, gurl, you and I.

We touch the sky, and we fly so high.

Just me and you, gurl, you and I.

We touch the sky, and we fly so high.

Bridge:

Ooh oooh gurl, ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.

Ooh oooh gurl, ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.

Ooh oooh gurl, ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.

Ooh oooh gurl, ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.

{Music breaking down}

Ooh oooh gurl, ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.

Ooh oooh gurl, ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.

{No Music}

Ooh oooh gurl, ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain for your love.

Ooh oooh gurl, ooh ooh gurl, I don’t want to wait in vain!
