No Opertunity Necessary Songtext
von Nina Simone

Step out in the night
When you get lonely
Listen to the words
That your ears don′t hear
I know your cross is gettin' heavier
With every step, yes it is
′Cause I know a woman
Who'd walk miles for you

I said stop
Stay where you are
Take a look at yourself
Take a good look at yourself

Do you turn to momma?
She don't understand that other stuff
Since you′re part of the cross she′s carrying
Your ass has been dragged long enough


Light flash for me is very morning
Day time, night time
You still don't see
Why must you wait until morning?

To wake up and be
Wake up and be
To wake up and be
Wake up and be
Wake up and be

I know there′s no such thing as up and down
With your problems you've got to goin′ 'round and ′round
Can't turn to momma
'Cause she′ll only tell you
She told you so
Since you′re part of cross she's carryin′
You oughta know, now

Hey, alright
Happy now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
Hey pa


Light flash for me is morning
Day time, night time
We still don't see
Why must we wait until morning?

To wake up and be
Wake up and be
Wake up and be
Wake up and be
Wake up and be

There′s no such thing as up and down
When your problems got to goin' around
′Round, 'round, 'round

Can′t turn to your daddy
He don′t understand that other stuff
Since you're part of the cross he′s been carryin'
Your ass has been draggin him long enough, hey

Alright, that′s better
