Song of the Week 10/22/13 and Kitty On My Knees Lyrics

(:  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOBYMAC!!!  :)
(I drew the party hat on ArtStudio. This was one of the only pictures of him in which he is not wearing a hat, so I figured that he needs one! And how fitting for his birthday! LOL)
In honor of TobyMac's birthday, here is the song of the week from his 2010 album Tonight:
This has to be one of my favorite TobyMac songs, maybe my favorite from that album. But you can't make me pick one single favorite TobyMac song. They're all so good!!!
Here are the lyrics:

City on our Knees

If you gotta start somewhere
Why not here?
If you gotta start sometime
Why not now?
If we gotta start somewhere
I say here
If we gotta start sometime
I say now

Through the fog
There is hope in the distance
From cathedrals
To third world missions
Love will fall to the earth
Like a crashing wave

Tonight's the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a beautiful display
It's all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees

If you gotta start somewhere
Why not here?
If you gotta start sometime
Why not now?
If we gotta start somewhere
I say here
If we gotta start sometime
I say now

Through the fog
There is hope in the distance
From cathedrals
To third world missions
Love will fall to the earth
Like a crashing wave

Tonight's the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a beautiful display
It's all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees

Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
Tonight could last forever

Oh, tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
Family, we're family

Oh, tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
You and me yeah you and me

Tonight's the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a glorious display
'Cause it's all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
A city on our knees

If we gotta start somewhere
Why not here?
If we gotta start sometime
Why not now?


I'm always getting inspired by my cats, and here are the latest results:

Kitty On My Knees

If you gotta eat somewhere why not here?
If you gotta eat sometime why not now?
If you gotta eat somewhere I say here
If you gotta eat sometime I say now

Look around, there are treats in the distance
From moist Pounce treats to dry Temptations
And every treat is just one step away

Tonight's the night
For the kittens and the cats
And now we come
The thin ones and the fat
So just give us some treats tonight
Those treats smell so divine
Oh, human, can't you see
I'm a kitty with one dream
A kitty on my knees
A kitty on my knees

If we gotta have tuna why not here?
If we gotta have catnip why not now?
If we gotta have salmon I say here
If we gotta have turkey I say now

Look around, there are treats in the distance
From milk-flavored to beef and chicken, and
Seafood medley, so this is why I say

Tonight's the night
For the kittens and the cats
And now we come
The thin ones and the fat
So just give us some treats tonight
Those mix-ups smell divine
Oh, human, can't you see
I'm a kitty with one dream
A kitty on my knees
A kitty on my knees

Oh, we'll stand here forever
We are standing here together
We'll stand here forever
Oh

We'll stand here forever
Yes, we're standing here together
Waiting, waiting

Oh, we'll stand here forever
Yeah, we're waiting here together
For our treats
Yeah, for our treats

Tonight's the night
For the kittens and the cats
And now we come
The thin ones and the fat
So just give us some treats tonight
Oh, and make this night divine
Oh, human, can't you see
We're the kitties with one dream
The kitties on our knees
The kitties on our knees
A kitty on my knees
A kitty on my knees

If we gotta eat somewhere, why not here?
If we gotta eat sometime, why not now?


The treat flavors talked about in the song are all Temptations treat flavors. So, big thanks to them. Big thanks to my cats too. And the lyrics wouldn't be here anyway if it wasn't for TobyMac. And TobyMac wouldn't be here if it wasn't for God. Praise God!!! :) :) :)
So anyway, let me know what you think!!!

I'm so excited... on Friday I'm going to sleep over at my Aunt's house, and I think I'll get pretty much all day Friday and Saturday there too! One of my old friends I haven't seen in a while is coming too so we'll get to see each other again and play some. I usually take a movie up there for us to watch, but I can't think of a movie to take, so I'm taking all sorts of Webkinz concert stuff to make up for it. The lead singers from TobyMeow and Sunshine are going to be there, but I picked out a variety of other pets for the rest of the group, so it will be interesting to see how they all do together at the concert!
Also, I'm ordering TobyMac's Eye On It Deluxe Edition CD!!! I wanted to get the CD so I can take it to my friend's house (I don't take my iPad there), and I can burn it to the computer and put the songs on my iPad too. I can't wait...

  1. Love your kitty parody of the song!! You are so talented, girl! I haven't listened to the original .... yet .... but it looks like your new lyrics fit perfectly. (You should send it to TM!) I'll try teaching it to my cats :)
