If it’s what you feel, my advice is that you show it So, baby cry, if you hide, how will I know it? And I pray every night that my dreams come true Will I finally be happy if they do? Hurry hurry up, my days are numbered This is what I feel when I stand in the sun And I think of all the bad that I’ve done And I’m looking ahead and I’m looking back And I realize it’s where I’m at Hurry hurry up, my days are numbered But I’m alright now Yes, I’m alright now Yeah, our future is in the air And the past is in the ground But I’m alright now It’s what you know, it’s what you don’t You watch the news And very soon you’re amazed and confused So you put on your cape to save the world But it’s a big and a cold and a shady world Hurry hurry up, our days are numbered, yeah But we’re alright now Yes, we’re alright now Yeah, the future is in the air And the past is in the ground But we’re alright now It’s what I know, it’s what I mean What I’m tryin’ to say is Thank God that I’m free and it’s a new day All of these things have control of me And I can’t guarantee what’s in store for me So take your time, ‘cuz I’m alright, right now Yes, we’re alright now Yes, we’re alright now Yeah, the future is in the air And the past is in the ground But we’re alright now
2.	Cold World 03:06	lyrics	buy track
Who are you misfortune? Are you real enough to help me to see? I’m caught up in your rapture With the words that you expect me to believe And who do you think you are? Nobody that I can recall Well, I swear that I saw you before Maybe in a dream, euphoria Tell me is that your name? Or isn’t our reflection the same Or am I goin’ insane I don’t think I’m meant to be played Maybe I do... Why don’t anybody wanna look me in the eye? What did I do? And I don’t wanna say it but Misfortune is the look in their eyes Misfortune, no friend of mine I’m willing to testify Her intentions are all I found Can you hear the judgment now? And who do you think you are? Somebody that I can recall Well, I know I swear we met before Maybe in a dream, euphoria Tell me is that my name? I couldn’t see that we were the same They say that I’m goin’ insane ‘Cuz I’m the only one in this game I never lose Why don’t anybody wanna look me in the eye? What did I do? And I don’t wanna say it but Misfortune is the look in my eye

Save us, like you promised to Hey, no disrespect but I would fix it if I was you Wish I could I read your mind We’d all be happy all the time If the choice was mine, if the choice was mine

about

Rubies hold a special place amongst the world’s rarest natural treasures. The most sought-after of the corundum family, the gemstone’s crimson hue instantly catches attention—as if extracting passion from the earth itself and crystallizing it in mineral form. Similarly, Macy Gray occupies a rare space in the canon of modern music. Now, her tenth full-length album, RUBY [Artistry Music/Mack Avenue], reaffirms and reasserts that signature rarity millions continue to treasure.
