I have a lover, a lover like no other
She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul
And she teach me how to sing
Shows me colors when [Ab] there's none to see
[Eb] Gives me hope when I can't believe
That for the first time I feel love
I have a brother, [Ab] when [Eb] I'm a brother in need
[Ab] [Eb] I spend my whole time running
He spends his running after me
