The lyrics of "Goodnight Gotham" by Rihanna are very simple with just two phrases repeating throughout the song: "Only if for a night" and "Night, night, for a night." The repetition of these lyrics creates a dreamy and hypnotic effect that matches the song's mood and beat.
The phrase "Only if for a night" is a reference to a famous quote by Queen Marie Antoinette of France. According to legend, the queen said, "Let them eat cake" when she was told that the poor had no bread to eat. The phrase "Only if for a night" has a similar meaning, suggesting a fleeting and temporary indulgence.
The song seems to be inspired by Rihanna's brief visit to Paris, where she saw a group of her fans waiting for her outside her hotel. The lyrics suggest that Rihanna wants to take a break from her busy schedule and spend the night in Paris with her fans. Overall, "Goodnight Gotham" is a short and sweet song that captures the magic of a spontaneous adventure.

Only if for a night
If only it could be for one night
Night, night, for a night, for a
Nighttime is only for a short time, but how glorious it is while it lasts
Night, night, for a night, oh
The night is fleeting, but it's worth embracing while it's here
For a night, oh, for a night, oh
Just for one night, nothing more
Night, night (night, oh)
In the darkness, everything becomes more mysterious and thrilling
For a night, oh, (night, oh)
For just one more precious evening
Night, night (night, oh)
The night is so tantalizingly brief, and yet so compelling
For a night, oh, (night, oh)
For just one night, nothing more
Night, night (night, oh)
The darkness envelops us, inviting us to forget our daily worries
For a night oh (night, oh)
For a single night of paradise

To all who take and thing of bible as something that place us into slavery:
The bible FREE`s us from slavery of any kind. Those who manage to read that out from bible is either still stick in religions or simply misread the BIBLE. But without CHRIST we do live in slavery in many different ones. So, what`s holding you back from getting FREE again?

Jesus said that the only way to be SAVED is to be BORN AGAIN... What does this mean? The new birth is not any of the following: baptism, church membership, partaking of communion, reforming one’s life, prayer, or good works. The new birth is a change of heart. God gives us the new birth when we take U turn to Him with remorse for our sinful lifestyle and repent(Godly Sorow Produces Repentance and Leading to Salvation). God sees when we are ready for the new birth. We will know when we are born again. We will have a free conscience, a desire to do right, and an assurance of a home in heaven. Jesus tells us that the gates of heaven are closed to us unless we are born again. Therefore, we ask: Friend, are you born again (Spiritually Circumcised Sinner who takes U turn from the Sinful Lifestyle and Surrenders to Jesus) Church member, are you born again? If not, then you are lost. For Jesus says, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). We are in Last Days...Pls be Born Again... May your Soul be Saved... May your Name be in the Lamb’s Book of Life... Amen
Notice the wording – always. As we call upon the name of the LORD – WE GET SAVED but to be saved (contune to be saved) – need a new birth – from SPIRIT/From above = YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN. Calling upon the name of the LORD yet contune old life - keep sinning - SALVATION LOST.
Sins must go - or the SAVING was never real.
After leaving earth/death: James 2:26 | View whole chapter | See verse in context For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
The soul and SPIRIT is together always - these 2 never departs only body does.
For We are spirits with conscious ( a conscious spirits , called HUMANS). Nowhere do we read that SPIRIT AND SOUL DEPARTS. For spirit without a conscious is a half creature. No human were created half. We all are created in 3.
Why are we called SOULS? - because we are conscious. We are able to understand.
As we all are called to judge righteously, so let us also teach righteously. Or we will be like the wicked : DECEIVING OTHERS.

@flhyhigh6928
The influence that one person can have...that you have to ability to unite so many people by ear alone...that's powerful. It makes me want to be a better person so that I can unite people. So in a sense I do believe that it is powerful...
