“With You I'm Born Again” is a duet originally performed by Billy Preston and Syreeta Wright from the soundtrack of the 1979 motion picture Fast Break. Mariah and John Legend covered the song during a live performance at VH1's Save The Music: A Concert To Benefit The VH1 Save The Music Foundation, which was taped at New York City's Beacon Theatre in April 2005.
Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman don't you know with you I'm born again
Come give me your sweetness
Now there's you, there is no weakness
Lying safe within your arms I'm born again
I was half, not whole
In step with none
Reaching through this world
In need of one
Come show me your kindness
In your arms I know I'll find it
Woman don't you know with you I'm born again
Lying safe with you I'm born again
Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman don't you know with you I'm born again
Come give me your sweetness
Now there's you, there is no weakness
'Cause lying safe within your arms I'm born again
'Cause I was half, not whole
In step with none
Reaching through this world
In need of one
Come show me your kindness
In your arms I know I'll find it
Woman don't you know with you I'm born again
Lying safe with you I'm born again
Written by Carol Connors and David Shire.
