Be With Me by Melodie Yvonne

These times have changed, but they ain’t changing me
No matter who’s leadin’ my soul is still free
Ain’t nothing can touch me if I don’t let it
and I’ll spread my words until every soul gets it

Don’t be alone when you could be with me
Weird, wild, and crazy, just be who you’ll be
No judgment here, and no fear of acceptance
We’ll love you for you as long as you let us

These times have sure changed, but they won’t change me
No matter who’s leadin’ my soul is still free
Ain’t nothin’ can touch you if you don’t let it
So let’s spread our words until every soul gets it

My politician’s not better than yours
They’re nothing but flabby flesh puppeted whores
So stop all this fussing, no fighting, no biting
Let’s unite ourselves for the causes worth fighting

Don’t be alone when you could be with me
Weird, wild, and crazy, just be who we’ll be
No judgment here, and no fear of acceptance
We’ll all love each other as long as we let us

These times have changed, but they ain’t changin’ me
We’re our own leaders let’s choose to be free
Ain’t nothin’ can touch us if we don’t let it
So let’s spread our song until every soul gets it

Let’s spread our song until every soul gets it
and our lil words make love conquer the wretched

Don’t be alone when you could be with me
Weird, wild, and crazy just be who you’ll be
Spark up that fire and set your soul free
And I’ll love you forever as long as you let me

I’ll love you forever as long as you let me
So don’t be alone be with me
