Lyrics Natalie Cole

Natalie Cole

Danger Up Ahead

Oh, I'm living in the country

Of people guilty

Of laughing on the outside

While they're crying within

Being in a world

With people afraid to give

Little bit of kindness

But they say I'm your friend

What they don't know

There's a danger up ahead

Look out, be careful

Of this danger up ahead

Tell we

Why do we keep on fighting

When our backs are up

Against the wall, that wall, hey

We wear our personalities upon our sleeves

No compromise in sight, we do as we please

It's time to realize the price of freedom

Is making some sacrifices

For what you believe in, oh, Lordy

There's a danger, a great danger

Say, try to remember

To watch everything you do

Somebody's watching you

They're writing it down

Don't let society

Tell you what you should be

You know the truth

So follow that sound

'Cause what they don't know

There's a danger up ahead

Watch out, be careful, look out now

For the danger up ahead

Why do we keep on fighting

That's not the answer to peace of mind

Can't we see the writing on the wall

The sky's about to fall

'Cause there's a danger, it's up ahead, oh...

Just look all around you

I think a danger has found you

Hey, it's in your town

Look up, look all around

Just you wait and see

You can't let the green grass fool you, no

You can't run away from grandfather time

So, make up your mind

And get off your knees

Uh, no begging please

It's time to freeze

And deal with the reality

'Cause security has fallen, my love

There's a danger up ahead

Oh, yeah, we got a danger

Look out, watch yourself

Look out for the danger

Why do we keep on fighting

When our backs are up against the wall

Oh, that wall over there, y'all

And our personalities, we wear on our sleeves

No compromise in sight, we do as we please

We got to realize that the price of freedom

Is paying a sacrifice for what you believe in

Don't you know, can't you see it

Straight ahead, danger, oh...

Oh, Lord, help us all!

Look for the danger

Well, take it from the danger

My, my, my family

My family's in danger, it's up ahead

Stand back, look out, be careful

Watch out for the danger, got to feel it

It's coming, whoo, coming fast

I'm taking about the danger, danger, danger

No, no, danger, no, don't, don't

Don't you let it get you

Danger, no, oh, danger

Talking about danger, it's up ahead

Woo-woo, danger

Woo, up ahead, don't you see it, it's coming

When it comes, my family's in danger

And I'm in danger

Oh, what should I do

I'm looking at the danger

Woo...

Na-na-na-na-na-na, danger
