Intro (Back To Basics) Lyrics
A very pleasant good evening ladies and gentlemen
It is now time...
The one and only...
There never will be another...
Christina Aguilera
Thats how music should sound
Ohh yeah
Ive waited for some time
To get inside the minds
Of every legend Ive ever wanted to stand beside
Its like an endless ride
Feeling the lows and highs
Of every lyric and melody
Every single rhyme
So here I stand today
In tribute I do pay
To those before me who laid it down and paved the way
And so to God I pray that he will give me strength
To carry forward the gift of song in his good faith
In his good faith...
Im going back to basics
To where it all began
Im ready now to face it
I wanna understand
What made the soul singers
And the blues figures
That inspired a higher generation
The jazz makers, and the ground breakers
They gave so much of themselves and dedication
So here I stand today
In tribute I do pay
To those before me who laid it down and paved the way
Ohhh yeah
hey... ha

Makes Me Wanna Pray Lyrics
(feat. Steve Winwood)
He-hey he-hey ohh
Oh yeah
Well alright
He-hey
What is this feeling coming over me?
Im taken back in disbelief
Is this really me, ha! in the mirror I see?
Staring back at me:
Could it be? A new reflection of a woman complete
All of a sudden Im so care-free (well alright)
cause love is doing something strange to me (well alright)
Got a new flame, ha! havent been the same
Something in mes changed, rearranged
And I feel that Ive been saved
You got me feeling like youre that something Ive been missing
Everythings heaven cause life with you has been a blessing
(Oh-oh oh-oh)
I got it bad in a serious way, oh yeah
(Oh-oh oh-oh)
Your love has brought me to a higher place, oh yeah
(Who knew? Who knew?)
Itd be you to restore my faith
Everyday, Im amazed
And it makes me wanna get down and pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray
Said it makes me wanna get down and pray
Yeah-hey
Ive kept some company I shouldnt have (well alright)
Made some mistakes but thats in the past (well alright)
Im professing here to you
Proof that I am through
Im coming clean
Now I can breathe
and I finally believe, yeah
You got me thinking Ill be alright, and youre the reason
Ooh I can feel it, were moving in a new direction
(Oh-oh oh-oh)
I got it bad in a serious way, oh yeah
(Oh-oh oh-oh)
Your love has brought me into a higher place, oh yeah
(Who knew? Who knew?)
Itd be you to restore my faith
Everyday, Im amazed
And it makes me wanna get down and pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray
Said it makes me wanna get down and pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray
Ohh
Where would I be? Where would I be?
Without you by my side
Where would I be? Where would I be?
Without you standing by
Makes me wanna (pray)
Makes me need to (pray)
When Im feeling low and all alone,
Youre the light in my day, yeah
(Oh-oh oh-oh)
I got it bad in a serious way, oh yeah
(Oh-oh oh-oh)
Your love has brought me into a higher place, oh yeah
(Who knew? Who knew?)
Itd be you to restore my faith
Everyday, Im amazed
cause it makes me wanna get down and pray
cause it makes me wanna get down and pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray
Woo, thank you father!
Wanna lift my hands up and pray
cause everytime Im hearing your name
Wanna reach out and rejoice
Sound of your voice, yeah
Hey yeah
Alright
Thats it
