JAZZ SOUL OF LITTLE STEVIE WONDER

I'M WONDERING

Henry Cosby, Sylvia Moy and Stevie Wonder

Jimmy was your sweetie pieYour precious one And I knew you used to loveThe very ground he walked uponOne day, Jim's papa told him Things were looking down And they packed up everythingThey owned and left this little old townEach tear I dried for you,The closer our lives grew, I fell in love it's true And you say you love me, too

Well, don't you know I'm wonderingLittle girl, I'm wondering How can I make you love me A little more than you loved him?Ooh,Baby I'm wonderingLittle girl, I'm wonderingHow can I make you love me A little more than you loved him?Oh baby

But, baby I'm wonderingLittle girl, I'm wondering How can I make you love me A little more than you loved him?Oh baby I'm wondering, Little girl, I'm wondering How can I make you love me A little more than you loved Jim?

The day you see his face againOr hear his voiceI don't want to be a loser If you have to make a choiceLike a puppet to a stringTo you, girl, I'm attached And I know I'd be in trouble If he came and took you backI feel so insecure In my mind, I can picture Losing you for sureAnd the pain I can't endure

Oh baby I'm wondering Little girl, I'm wondering How can I make you love me A little more than you loved him?Oh baby I'm wondering, Sure enough, I'm wondering How can I make you love meA little more than you loved Jim?Ooh Baby

I can't stop loving you, baby, I can't stop loving you , no I can't stop loving you, baby

I feel so insecure In my mind, ICan pictureLosing you for sure And the pain I can't endureBaby, I'm worried,Really, really worriedI wanna make you happyReally truly happy

Oh baby I'm wondering, Little girl, I'm wondering How can I make you love meA little more than you loved him?Oh baby I'm wonderingLittle girl, I'm wondering ...

UPTIGHT

BLOWIN' IN THE WIND

Bob Dylan

How many roads must a man walk down before they call him a man?How many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?How many times must the canon balls fly before they're forever banned?The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the windThe answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years must a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?How many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see?The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the windThe answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?How many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the windThe answer is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind.

UPTIGHT (EVERYTHING’S ALRIGHT)

Henry Cosby, Steveland Judkins and Sylvia Moy

Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight. Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.

I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks, The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back, But I'm the envy of ev'ry single guy Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye. When we go out stepping on the town for a while My money's low and my suit's out of style, But it's all right if my clothes aren't new Out of sight because my heart is true.

She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, out of sight. Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.

I'm a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say, I guess her folks brought her up that way, The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids. No one is better than I, I know I'm just an average guy, No football hero or smooth Don Juan, Got empty pockets, you see I'm a poorman's son. She says give her the things that money can buy But I'll never, never make my baby cry,

And it's all right, what I can't do, Out of sight because my heart is true, She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight. Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight. Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, ah ah ah ah, Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight. Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.

I WAS MADE TO LOVE HER

I WAS MADE TO LOVE HER

Henry Cosby, Lula Mae Hardaway, Sylvia Moy and Stevie Wonder

I was born in Lil' Rock,Had a childhood sweetheart,We were always hand in hand.

I was hightop shoes and shirt tails,Suzy was in pig tails,I know I loved her even then.

You know my papa disapproved it,My mama boohooed it,But I told them time and time again,"Don't you know I was made to love her,Built a world all around her"Yah! Hey, hey, hey.

She's been my inspiration,Showed appreciationFor the love I gave her through the years.

Like a sweet magnolia treeMy love blossmed tenderly,My life grew sweeter through the years.

I know that my baby loves me,My baby needs me,That's why we made it through the years.

I was made to love her,Worship and adore her,Hey, hey, hey.

All through thick and thinOur love just won't end,'Cause I love my baby, love my baby. Ah!

My baby loves me,My baby needs me,And I know I ain't going nowhere.

I was knee high to a chickenWhen that love bug bit me,I had the fever with each passing year.

Oh, even if the mountain tumbles,If this whole world crumbles,By her side I'll still be standing there.

'Cause I was made to love her,I was made to live for her, yeah!

9

Ah, I was made to love her,Built my world all around her,Hey, hey, hey.

Oo baby, I was made to please her,You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no,Hey, hey, hey.

Oo wee baby, my baby loves me,My baby needs me,Hey, hey, hey.

OO my baby loves me....

SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS

SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS

Ron Miller and Bryan Wells

Someday at Christmas men won't be boysPlaying with bombs like kids play with toysOne warm December our hearts will see A world where men are free

Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars When we have learned what Christmas is forWhen we have found what life's really worthThere'll be peace on earth

Someday all our dreams will come to beSomeday in a world where men are freeMaybe not in time for you and meBut someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas we'll see a ManNo hungry children, no empty handOne happy morning people will shareOur world where people care

Someday at Christmas there'll be no tearsAll men are equal and no men have fearsOne shinning moment my heart ran awayFrom our world today

Someday all our dreams will come to beSomeday in a world where men are freeMaybe not in time for you and me But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas man will not fail Take hope because your love will prevail Someday a new world that we can startWith hope in every heart

Someday all our dreams will come to beSomeday in a world where men are freeMaybe not in time for you and me But someday at ChristmastimeSomeday at Christmastime

THE CHRISTMAS SONG

Mel Torme and Robert Wells

Chestnuts roasting on an open fireJack frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choirand folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoeHelp to make the season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glowWill find it hard sleeping tonight

They know that Santa's on his wayHe's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleighand ev'ry Mother's child is gonnna spyTo see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phraseTo kids from one to ninety-twoAlthough it's been said many times, many waysMerry Christmas to you

(Harmonica solo)

And so I'm offering this simple phraseTo kids from one to ninety-twoAlthough It's been said many times, many waysMerry Christmas to you

BEDTIME FOR TOYS

Ron Miller and Orlando Murden

Close your eyes, beddy bye tin soldier,Mommy says that it's time for sleep,If my folks were wiser and older,They'd know kids and toys don't need sleep.

Don't be bad little cotton dolly,See how nice Mickey Mouse sleeps now?Even my brass drummer boy has stopped all his noise,Cause he knows it's past bedtime for toys.

(Speaking)Ya know, every Christmas Santa Claus goes all over the world with his reindeer,sled, and a big bag of toys and he'll come to your house this year too.But sometimes, just sometimes, he doesn't have enough time to see every little boy and girl because the world is so big. So maybe we should sing a song for all the children that Santa didn't visit.

Bless the child who has no tin soldier,No brass drummer boy to put to bed. He will still grow wiser and older,Loving one small rag doll instead.

He won't have a cotton dolly,Mickey Mouse won't come to his house.Hold that rag doll to your heart, nothing can destroy The beauty one shall find in one small toy.

DOWN TO EARTH

HEY LOVE

Clarence Paul, M. Broudnax and Stevie Wonder

Hey loveMay I have a word with you?I'd like to tell you, yeahJust what I've been going throughMy nights are so longAs I watch each hour go byHoping and prayingThat someday I will be your guy

Hey loveYou're my one true soul desireHey love, babyCan you feel this burning fire

Hey loveThere's one thing I find so trueWhen you are near meI go through a change or twoHearing your footstepsI hurry to catch your eyeAnd I stand there waiting, yeahBut girl, you just walk on by

Say loveWith a cold heart you are dealingHey love, yeahIt's an awful hurting feeling

Hey loveDon't pass me without some signJust look me over, yeahI want to change your mind

SYLVIA


Whoa, oh, oh, yeahMmm, hmm SylviaYou know you're getting to me nowMmm, mmm, mmm, SylviaYou gently touched my heart somehow

Yesterday you made me happy as a child at playJust like the summer sun that warms my heartAnd move on, now you are gone

Whoa, oh, oh, SylviaYou're everything that I adoreThat sweet song, that caught a spark in me moreTenderly that's how you whisper that you loved meAs if a raindrop kissed my ear and disappeared, now you are gone

Oh, oh, oh, yeahYou know I love my little Sylvia

Whoa, oh, oh, yeahAnd yesterday I feel in love with you all the wayTenderly you lit a spark in my heart, now you are gone

Mmm, hmm, SylviaI gently miss SylviaI'm crazy 'bout ya, SylviaYou know I love my little Sylvia

A PLACE IN THE SUN

Ron Miller and Bryan Wells

Like a long lonely streamI keep runnin' towards a dreamMovin' on, movin' onLike a branch on a treeI keep reachin' to be freeMovin' on, movin' on

'Cause there's a place in the sunWhere there's hope for ev'ryoneWhere my poor restless heart's gotta runThere's a place in the sunAnd before my life is doneGot to find me a place in the sun

Like an old dusty roadI get weary from the loadMovin' on, movin' onLike this tired troubled earthI've been rollin' since my birthMovin' on, movin' on

There's a place in the sunWhere there's hope for ev'ryoneWhere my poor restless heart's gotta runThere's a place in the sunAnd before my life is doneGot to find me a place in the sun

You know when times are badAnd you're feeling sadI want you to always remember

Yes, there's a place in the sunWhere there's hope for ev'ryoneWhere my poor restless heart's gotta runThere's a place in the sunWhere there's hope for ev'ryoneWhere my poor restless heart's gotta runThere's a place in the sunWhere there's hope for ev'ryone...

MR. TAMBOURIN MAN

Bob Dylan

Hey Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for meI'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going toHey Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for meIn a jingle-jangle morning I'll come following you

Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sandVanished from my hand left me blindly here to stand but still not sleepingMy weariness amazes me I'm branded on my feetI have no one to meet and the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming


Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' shipMy senses have been stripped my hands can't feel to gripMy toes too numb to step wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'I'm ready to go anywhere I'm ready for to fadeInto my own parade cast your dancing spell my way I promise to go under it


Though you might hear laughin' spinnin' swingin' madly across the sunIt's not aimed at anyone it's just escapin' on the runAnd but for the sky there are no fences facing

And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhymeTo your tambourine in time it's just a ragged clown behindI wouldn't pay it any mind it's just a shadow you're seein' that he’s chasing


Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mindDown the foggy ruins of time far past the frozen leavesThe haunted frightened trees out to the windy beachFar from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow

Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving freeSilhouetted by the sea circled by the circus sandsWith all memory and fate driven deep beneath the wavesLet me forget about today until tomorrow


FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE

SHOO-BE-DOO-BE-DOO-DA-DAY


Your precious sweetheart, she's so faithful, she's so true, oh yeah,Her dreams are tumblin', her world is crumblin' because of you, uhh uh.One day you'll hurt her just once too much,And when you finally lose your tender touch, hey, hey,Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo- Be-Doo-Da-DayHer feet may wander, her heart may stray, oh yeah,Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo- Be-Doo-Da-Dee.You gonna send your baby straight to me,

I'm gonna give her all the lovin' within my heart, oh yeah,I'm gonna patch up every single little dream you tore apart, understand me?And when she tells you she's cried her last tear,Heaven knows I'm gonna be somewhere near, oh yeah,Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo- Be-Doo-Da-DayHer feet may wander, her heart may stray, baby,Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo- Be-Doo-Da-Dee.Love's gon' send your baby straight to me, yeah, hum, yeah,

You'd better listen to me, yeah, yeah.Heartaches are callin' tears are fallin' because of you, hey, yeah,And when you're gone she'll know I'm the one to go to her rescueBaby you didn't know that thing.You're gonna leave her once too many times and when you come backThat girl's gonna be mine, all mine, hey, hey.Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo- Be-Doo-Da-DayHer feet may wander, her heart may stray, yeah, yeahShoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo- Be-Doo-Da-Dee.Love's gon' send your baby straight to me, hey, hey.

FOR ONCE IN MY LFE

For once in my life I have someone who needs meSomeone I've needed so longFor once, unafraid, I can go where life leads meAnd somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream ofLong before I knewSomeone warm like youWould make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt meNot like it hurt me beforeFor one, I have something I know won't desert meI'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take itAs long as I know I have love, I can make itFor once in my life, I have someone who needs me

YOU MET YOUR MATCH

Hey you were good at playing the fox girlWhen I was good you threw me a boneBut I ain't playing hot for nobodyGirl just you wait 'til I get you homeI'll show you the way to love somebodyLike you've never ever been shown before

Cause my love light's burningMy whole life's yearning for youHey Baby you were playing the part with Jimmy and FreddieYou tried to make me look like a foolBut I took care of Cindy and SusieJust to show you I can be twice as cool Baby

If you want to learn how to love meI'll teach you in my own private schoolCause my love love lights burningMy whole life's yearning for you

You met you your matchWhen you play with my affectionYou met you your matchWhen you tried to make me walk the lineWhen you decided you would hurt meThat's when your grape feel off the vine

Your mama told me that I better be mellowShe said you're just a baby maybe too greenI told her Jimmy, Freddie, Teddy and VictorThey know betterMama shake off that dreamI told her that you were really cookingMy love is burning for a turn at the steam

Hey, causeMy love light's burningMy whole life's yearning for youYou met your matchWhen you told me you loved meYou met your matchWhen you told me that you wouldn't let go

You met your match X7BabyYou met your match X7Baby

You met your match in me..

I DON'T KNOW WHY

I don't know why I love youI don't know why I love youI don't know why I love youBut I love you

Always treat me like a foolKick me when I'm down that's your ruleI don't know why I love you But I love you Oh you never stop your Cheatin ways with another guy You laugh in my faceLord how long must I be disgracedCause I love you Oh baby, baby, babyI don't know why I love you I don't know You and me baby, ohI don't know why I love you baby But I love you baby Oh darlin, darlin, darlin

You throw my heart down in the dirtYou made me crawl on This cold black earth, babyNo I never, I never knew How much love could hurtUntil I loved you babyTill I loved you baby, babyOh baby, I can't stop I can't stop crying can't you seeHere I'm pleadin on my kneesI'm on my kneesWon't you help me, help me pleaseCause I love you, I love you babySure enough, baby, yeahI don't know, you don't knowWe don't know none of usCan't do nothing about itI don't know, I don't knowOh baby, I don't know, I don't knowNobody can do nothing about it

MY CHERIE AMOUR

THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE

The shadow of your smile when you are goneWill color all my dreams and light the dawnLook into my eyes, my love, and seeAll the lovely things you are to me

Our wistful little star was far too highA teardrop kissed your lips andd so did INow when I remember springAll the joy that love can bringI will be rememberingThe Shadow of your smile

MY CHERIE AMOUR


La la la la la la, La la la la la la

My cherie amour, lovely as a summer dayMy cherie amour, distant as the milky wayMy cherie amour, pretty little one that I adoreYou're the only girl my heart beats forHow I wish that you were mine

In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded streetI've been near you, but you never noticed meMy cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignoreThat behind that little smile I woreHow I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la, La la la la la laLa la la la la la, La la la la la la

Maybe someday, you'll see my face amoung the crowdMaybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloudOh, cherie amour, pretty little one that I adoreYou're the only girl my heart beats forHow I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la, La la la la la laLa la la la la la, La la la la la la

YESTERME YESTERYOU YESTERDAY

What happened to the world we knewWhen we would dream and schemeAnd while the time awayYesterme yesteryou yesterday

Where did it go that yester glowWhen we could feelThe wheel of life turn our wayYesterme yesteryou yesterday

I had a dream so did you lifeWas warm and love was trueTwo kids who followed all the rulesYester folls and now

Now it seems those yester dreamsWere just a cruelAnd foolish game we used to playYesterme yesteryou yesterday

When I recall what we hadI feel lost I feel sad with nothing butThe memory of yester love and nowNow it seems those yester dreamsWere just a cruelAnd foolish game we had to play

Yesterme yesteryou yesterdayYesterme yesteryou yesterdaySing with meYesterme yesteryou yesterdayOne more time.....

HEAVEN HELP US ALL

Ron Miller

Heaven help the child who never had a home,Heaven help the girl who walks the street aloneHeaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall,Heaven help us all.

Heaven help the black man if he struggles one more day,Heaven help the white man if he turns his back away,Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl,Heaven help us all.

Heaven help us all, heaven help us all, help us all.Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we callOh, yeah!

Heaven help the boy who won't reach twenty-one,Heaven help the man who gave that boy a gun.Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall,Lord, Heaven help us all.

Heaven help us all, heaven help us all, heaven help us all, help us all.Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we call.

Now I lay me down before I go to sleep.In a troubled world, I pray the Lord to keep, keep hatred from the mighty,And the mighty from the small,Heaven help us all.Oh, oh, oh, yeah!Heaven help us all.

WHERE I'M COMING FROM

LOOK AROUND

We are idle strangersMarried to our dangersInto space we go to change our ways

Flying to our heavensWe are all togetherInto hell we chase the light of day

Look around and you'll seeRuins of the human historyLook around and you'll seeTime is only floating in your mindYou will findSearching for timeEmpty is your mind

We are charmed by livingDazzled into givingAll the waste we plan to ignore

Coldness is the virtueMeasured by the untrueLove is used for something but what for?

Look around and you'll seeRuins of the human historyLook around and you'll seeTime is only floating in your mindYou will findSearching for timeEmpty is your mindLook around

DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR

Isolated junk yardLetting out the garbageEating through the core of life

Sweet fragrance irritatesIn a state room death awaitsPersecute your own self-pride

Suffocate the new highRide the thorny mule that cries"Dig your grave and step right in"

Like a judas pay the price30 pieces for a rideHere's the fire take a chew

Do yourself a favourEducate your mindGet yourself togetherHey there ain't much time


Shredded know-how give awaySpecies of the human raceThose funky winds of ups and downs

Hall of grit is known too wellHeaven still is your hellPoison slowly slowly drowns

Let the devil step right inLucifer's your only friendAin't a soul go'n pity you

Hurdly over time to deathWith open arms it waits I betDon't you wish you could reach ground?



THINK OF ME AS YOUR SOLDIER

Think of me as your soldierThe man whose life is for youAnd the sweet loveThat's greater than time has known

Think of me as your soldierThrough worlds of hate I'm for youTho' the darkness hits me ever hardI'll stand long

And we'll be lovers seeing love by heaven's lightLovers dreaming dreams each blessed by nightI will find the promised paradiseWith you there I'll spend my life

In our hearts there are no othersWe are bound as two loversTo give the great eternal love

And we'll be lovers seeing love by heaven's lightLovers dreaming dreams each blessed by nightI will find the promised paradiseWith you there I'll spend my lifeI'll spend my life

Think of me, girl, as your soldierThrough worlds of pain I'm for youTo give an endless loveTo give an endless loveTo give an endless loveTo you....

IF YOU REALLY LOVE ME

And if you really love me won't you tell me..And if you really love me won't you tell me..And if you really love me won't you tell me..Then I won't have to be Playing around

You call my nameOooh so sweetTo make your kiss incompleteWhen your mood is clearYou quickly change your waysThen you say I'm untrueWhat am I supposed to doBe a fool who sits alone waiting for you

But if you really love me won't you tell me..But if you really love me won't you tell me..And if you really love me won't you tell me..Then I won't have to be Playing around

I see the light of your smileCalling me all the whileYou are saying babyIt's time to go...First the feeling's alrightThen it's gone from sightSo I'm taking out this time to say

Oh if you really love me won't you tell me..Oh if you really love me won't you tell me..And if you really love me won't you tell me..Then I won't have to be Playing around noPlaying around noHey yeahGoofin' around noOh babyPlaying around noLet me know how you feel babyHey oh babyPlaying around no

I NEVER DREAMED YOU'D LEAVE IN SUMMER

Syreeta Wright and Stevie Wonder

I never dreamed you'd leave in summerI thought you would go then come back homeI thought the cold would leave by summerBut my quiet nights will be spent alone

You said there would be warm love in springtimeThat was when you started to be coldI never dreamed you'd leave in summerBut now I find myself all alone

You said then you'd be the life in autumnSaid you'd be the one to see the wayI never dreamed you'd leave in summerBut now I find my love has gone away

Why didn't you stay?

GIRL BLUE

Hello Morning, good, good morning to the one I love,Crystal Ringlets paint a picture of a gold sunrise above.

Little girl you're sad,Though all you have,is visible to you.Within your heartthere stays a partThat like the sky is blue.

Shifting breezes, grace the inner spectrum of your glance.Leaves on branches, for your pleasure, perform a soothing dance.

Little girl it seemsin all my dreamsYour happiness is due.But still they last,their in your pastEvents that make you blue.

Thoughts of love are in your mind,Yet splintered hopes push them aside.A look at life is what you need to try.

In an instant there'll be sunshine,sprinkled every place.Drops of rain will kiss the softness of your lovely face.

Little girl be fairShow yourself you care,let others care for you.Before it's too late,Cause time won't wait,Till your heart's no longer blue.

Little girl be smart,Don't break your own heart,There is love waiting for you.Before it's too lateCause time won't wait,Til your heart's no longer blue.

SEEMS SO LONG

Lady love and lady caredbut lady went away,And left me all alone to suffer.

And now I feel it's not fairfor me to fall in loveThe truth is the real me you must uncover.

Seems so long, since I've heard the soundIt's been so long, since I've trusted in someone else,Had to see it all for myself,It's been so long, that the world seems cold,But I think it's time in my life to find myself again.

Lady loved and lady stayed,Until she was too pleasedShe knew I wouldn't leave for her to suffer.I'd never make her suffer.

Now I believe you're just like me,In that you understand,And want me for your man to always love me.

You can believe it's seems so long, since I've touched a wanting handOh, it seems so long, since I've trusted in someone else,Had to see this world for myself,And it's been so long that the world seems cold,Now I think I've found someone to make me trust in someone again.

I believe that I can trust in you.

EVIL

Evil, why have you engulfed so many hearts...EvilEvil, why have you destroyed so many minds...Leaving room for darkness, where lost dreams can hide.

Evil, why do you infest our purest thoughts, with hatred.Evil, why have you stolen so much love...Leaving everyone's emotions lost and wandering free.

TALKING BOOK

YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE

You are the sunshine of my lifeThat's why I'll always be around, You are the apple of my eye, Forever you'll stay in my heart

I feel like this is the beginning, Though I've loved you for a million years, And if I thought our love was ending, I'd find myself drowning in my own tears

You are the sunshine of my life, That's why I'll always stay around, You are the apple of my eye, Forever you'll stay in my heart

You must have known that I was lonely, Because you came to my rescue, And I know that this must be heaven, How could so much love be inside of you?

You are the sunshine of my life, yeah, That's why I'll always stay around, You are the apple of my eye, Forever you'll stay in my heart

(Background) Love has joined us, Love has joined us, Let's think sweet love

MAYBE YOUR BABY

I'm feelin' down and some kind of lonely, Cause' my baby done left me here, Heart's blazing like a five alarm fire And I don't even give a care

I feel like the world is turnin' on me, My dreams turnin' to ashes right in front of my face, And I'm gettin' kind of worried, And I feel so out of place,

Maybe your baby done made some other plans, Maybe your baby done made some other plans

(Background) . . I feel like cryin', yeh, yeh Maybe baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

In the mornin' when I've got heartache, I can't call up the doctor for help,

Cause' the only person that could ever do me any good, Is steppin' out with my best friend

I feel like I'm slippin' deeper, Slippin' deeper into myself, And I can't take it, This stuff is scarin' me to death

Maybe your baby done made some other plans, Kinda makin' me worried, Maybe your baby done made some other plans

Little Sally Walker, sittin' in a saucer, Checkin' out the guys that are passing by

(Background)...by, by, by, by...

Maybe your baby done made some other plans

Maybe your baby done made some other plans, Not includin' future plans, Maybe your baby done made some other plans, Maybe my baby done made some other plans, Maybe my baby done made another plan with another man. Your baby, your baby, stupid baby, your baby, That you put so trust so much trust in your baby, Maybe your baby done made some other plans

YOU AND I

Here we are on earth together, It's you and I, God has made us fall in love, it's true, I've really found someone like you

Will it say the love you feel for me, will it say, That you will be by my side To see me through, Until my life is through

Well, in my mind, we can conquer the world, In love you and I, you and I, you and I

I am glad at least in my life I found someone That may not be here forever to see me through, But I found strength in you, I only pray that I have shown you a brighter day, Because that's all that I am living for, you see, Don't worry what happens to me

Cause' in my mind, you will stay here always, In love, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I In my mind we can conquer the world In love, you and I, you and I, you and I

TUESDAY HEARTBREAK

Tuesday heartbreak seem to be unfair, Cause you say that you found another man, Tuesday break heart, guess you just don't care, Cause you found you another man

I want to be with you when you're all alone, I want to be with you when you feel you got another man, You see, baby, it's all alright

I wanna be with you when the nightime comes, I wanna be with you when the daytime comes, I wanna stay, oh baby, lemme, baby with you

Tuesday heartbreak seem to be a drag, When you know that you love her especially, Catch up baby, catch up with my dreams, Maybe than I can see you all the time

But I wanna be with you when the nightime comes I wanna be with you when the daytime comes, I wanna stay and never go away, Oh baby, it's alright

I wanna be with you when the nightime comes, I wanna stay with you till the morning runs, I wanna, baby, baby, baby, it's alright

I wanna be with you when the nightime comes, I wanna be with you till the daytime comes Oh baby, get away, alright

YOU'VE GOT IT BAD GIRL

When you believe in a feeling, And it's holding you back from my love, Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

When you insist on excluding The tenderness that's in my kiss, Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

If you try to display an emotion, That will contradict itself, You will find your heart just sitting Like a statue on a shelf, on a shelf, on a shelf

Should you depend on an outlet, Through which an escape can be found, Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

If you don't see there's no way out, Just no way of getting around me, Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

Yes, you know the plans I am making, Are intended to capture you, So you practice false reactions, To delay the things I do, the things I do, things I do, foolish you You've got it bad girl, you've got it bad

There's no reward in detouring My deep sincerity. Especially since what you're feeling, Is perfectly clear to me, clear to me, clear to me

Before you discover the feeling, You've tried very hard to hide, You've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

But when you can find just a small space, To let my love live in your mind, Then you'll have it good girl, you'll have it good girl

SUPERSTITION

Very superstitious, writings on the wall, Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall, Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands, Rid me of the problem, do all that you can, Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong, You don't wanna save me, sad is my song

When you believe in things that you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh

Very superstitious, nothin' more to say, Very superstitious, the devil's on his way, Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass, Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no

BIG BROTHER

Your name is big brother You say that you're watching me on the tele, Seeing me go nowhere, Your name is big brother, You say that you're tired of me protesting, Children dying everyday, My name is nobody But I can't wait to see your face inside my door

Your name is big brother You say that you got me all in your notebook, Writing it down everyday, Your name is I'll see ya, I'll change if you vote me in as the pres, The President of your soul I live in the ghetto, You just come to visit me 'round election time

I live in the ghetto, Someday I will move on my feet to the other side, My name is secluded, we live in a house the size of a matchbox, Roaches live with us wall to wall,

You've killed all our leaders, I don't even have to do nothin' to you You'll cause your own country to fall

BLAME IT ON THE SUN

Where has my love gone? How can I go on? It seems dear love has gone away

Where is my spirit? I'm nowhere near it, Oh yes, my love has gone astray

But I'll blame it on the sun, The sun that didn't shine, I'll blame it on the wind and the trees

I'll blame it on the time that never was enough, I'll blame it on the tide and the sea, But, my heart blames it on me

Who poured the love out? What made this bitter doubt? Is peace not here for me to see?

Wish I could tell you, What I am feeling, But, words won't come for me to speak

But I'll blame it on the sun, That didn't fill the sky, I'll blame it on the birds and the trees

I'll blame it on the day that ended once too soon, I'll blame it on the nights that could not be, But, my heart blames it on me

(Background)...Yeh, yeh, yeh, ooh, Your heart blames it on you this time

LOOKIN' FOR ANOTHER PURE LOVE

Never tears or sorrows came before me in my mind, I had no problems, never a problem in my life, Never a worry on my mind

All my days before today were happy, And secure until your phone call, You were tellin' me goodbye

Now I'm lookin' for another love, I'm lookin' for another pure love in my life And I'm lookin' for another love, I'm lookin' for another pure love in my life

Now the wheel of fate has turned, I'm worried 'bout the new love you've discovered, He is a problem in my life, I have a problem on my mind

Things you cherish most in your life, Can be taken if they're left neglected, Leavin' a problem in your life

'Cause now I'm lookin' for another love, I'm lookin' for another pure love in my life, ooh, And now I'm lookin' for another love, And now I'm lookin' for another love, I'm lookin' for another pure love in my life, ooh, I'm lookin' for another love, I'm lookin for another pure love in my life

I BELIEVE (WHEN I FALL IN LOVE IT WILL BE FOREVER)

Shattered dreams, worthless years, Here am I encased inside a hollow shell, Life began, then was done, Now I stare into a cold and empty well

The many sounds that meet our ears the sights our eyes behold, Will open up our merging hearts, And feed our empty souls

I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever, I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever

Without despair we will share, And the joys of caring will not be replaced, What has been must never end And with the strength we have won't be erased When the truths of love are planted firm, They won't be hard to find, And the words of love I speak to you will echo in your mind

I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever, I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever

I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever, I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever

I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again,

I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again

God surely answered my prayer, God surely answered by prayer, You know God surely answered my prayer, You know God surely answered my prayer, God always will answer your prayers, Believe in one who will answer my prayer, Thank you God

Come on, let's fall in love, You're the woman I've been waiting for, Come on, let's fall in love, You're the girl that I really adore, Come on, let's fall in love...etc

VISIONS

People hand in hand Have I lived to see the milk and honey land ? Where hate's a dream and love forever stands Or is this a vision in my mind ?

The law was never passed But somehow all men feel they're truly free at last Have we really gone this far through space and time Or is this a vision in my mind ?

I'm not one who makes believe I know that leaves are green They only change to brown when autumn comes around

I know just what I say Today's not yesterday And all things have an ending

But what I'd like to know Is could a place like this exist so beautiful Or do we have to find our wings and fly away To the vision in our mind ?

I'm not one who makes believes I know that leaves are green They only change to brown when autumn comes around

LIVING FOR THE CITY

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty His parents give him love and affection To keep him strong moving in the right direction Living just enough, just enough for the city...ee ha!

His father works some days for fourteen hours And you can bet he barely makes a dollar His mother goes to scrub the floor for many And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny Living just enough, just enough for the city...yeah

His sister's black but she is sho 'nuff pretty Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy To walk to school she's got to get up early Her clothes are old but never are they dirty Living just enough, just enough for the city...um hum

Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many His patience's long but soon he won't have any To find a job is like a haystack needle Cause where he lives they don't use colored people Living just enough, just enough for the city... Living just enough...

For the city...ooh,ooh (repeat several times)

His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty He spends his love walking the streets of New York City He's almost dead from breathing on air pollution He tried to vote but to him there's no solution Living just enough, just enough for the city...yeah, yeah, yeah!

I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow This place is cruel no where could be much colder If we don't change the world will soon be over Living just enough, just enough for the city!!!!

We are amazed but not amusedBy all the things you say that you'll doThough much concerned but not involvedWith decisions that are made by you

But we are sick and tired of hearing your songTelling how you are gonna change right from wrong'Cause if you really want to hear our views"You haven't done nothing"!

It's not too cool to be ridiculed But you brought this upon yourselfThe world is tired of pacifiersWe want the truth and nothing else

And we are sick and tired of hearing your songTelling how you are gonna change right from wrong'Cause if you really want to hear our views"You haven't done nothing"!

There ain't no reason tryin' to force a smileWhen pain is really in its place'Cause we know the truth,It ain't no use let's part before we lose love's trace.

As I look back I'm really try'n to seeJust what it was that made us spark'Cause the fire's outIt leaves no doubt, the flame's not burning in our hearts.

We still are young and both of us have timeTo find our winter love in springYes we know the truthIt ain't no use, we're not each other's ev'rything.

THEY WON'T GO WHEN I GO

No more lying friendsWanting tragic endsThough they do pretendThey won't go when I go

All those bleeding heartsWith sorrows to impartWere right here from the startAnd they won't go when I go

And I'll go where I've longedTo go so longAway from tears

Gone from painful criesAway from saddened eyesAlong with him I'll bideBecause they won't go when I go

Big men feeling smallWeak ones standing tallI will watch them fallThey won't go when I go

And I'll go where I've longedTo go so longAway from tears

Unclean minds mislead the pureThe innocent will leave for sureFor them there is a resting placePeople sinning just for funThey will never see the sunFor they can never show their facesThere ain't no room for the hopeless sinnerWho will take more than he will giveHe ain't hardly gonna give

The greed of man will beFar away from meAnd my soul will be freeThey won't go when I go

Since my soul conceivedAll that I believeThe kingdom I will see'Cause they won't go when I go

When I goWhere I'll goNo one can keep meFrom my destiny.

HAVE A TALK WITH GOD

There are people who have let the problems of today Lead them to conclude that for them life is not the way But every problem has an answer and if yours you cannot find You should talk it over to Him He'll give you peace of mind When you feel your life's too hard Just go have a talk with God

Many of us feel we walk alone without a friend Never communicating with the One who lives within Forgetting all about the One who never ever lets you down And you can talk to him anytime He's always around When you feel your life's too hard Just go have a talk with God

Well He's the only free psychiatrist that's known throughout the world For solving problems of all men, women, little boys and girls When you feel your life's too hard Just go have a talk with God When you feel your life's too hard Just go have a talk with God When your load's too much to bear Just go talk to God He cares I know he does

When you feel your life's too hard Just go have a talk with God thank you thank you very much

VILLAGE GHETTO LAND

Would you like to go with me Down my dead end street Would you like to come with me To Village Ghetto Land

See the people lock their doors While robbers laugh and steal Beggars watch and eat their meal -from garbage cans

Broken glass is everywhere It's a bloody scene Killing plagues the citizens Unless they own police

Children play with rusted cars Sores cover their hands Politicians laugh and drink-drunk to all demands

Families buying dog food now Starvation roams the streets Babies die before they're born Infected by the grief

Now some folks say that we should be Glad for what we have Tell me would you be happy in Village Ghetto Land

Village Ghetto Land

SIR DUKE

Music is a world within itself With a language we all understand With an equal opportunity For all to sing, dance and clap their hands But just because a record has a groove Don't make it in the groove But you can tell right away at letter A When the people start to move

They can feel it all over They can feel it all over people They can feel it all over They can feel it all over people

Music knows it is and always will Be one of the things that life just won't quit But here are some of music's pioneers That time will not allow us to forget For there's Basie, Miller, Sachimo And the king of all Sir Duke And with a voice like Ella's ringing out There's no way the band can lose

You can feel it all over You can feel it all over people You can feel it all over You can feel it all over people



You can feel it all over You can feel it all over people You can feel it all over I can feel it all over-all over now people

Can't you feel it all over Come on let's feel it all over people You can feel it all over Everybody-all over people

I WISH

Looking back on when I Was a little nappy headed boy Then my only worry Was for Christmas what would be my toy Even though we sometimes Would not get a thing We were happy with the Joy the day would bring

Sneaking out the back door To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine Greeted at the back door With boy thought I told you not to go outside Tryin' your best to bring the Water to your eyes Thinkin' it might stop her Grom woopin' your behind

I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go Cause I love them so

Brother says he's tellin' 'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl Just don't tell I'll give you Anything you want in this whole wide world Mama gives you money for Sunday school You trade yours for candy after church is through

Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy) Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight

I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ev-er have to go

KNOCKS ME OFF MY FEETS

I see us in the park Strolling the summer days of imaginings in my head And words from our hearts Told only to the wind felt even without being said I don't want to bore you with my trouble But there's sumptin'bout your love That makes me weak and Knocks me off my feet

There's supmtin'bout your love That makes me weak and Knocks me off my feet Knocks me off my feet

I don't want to bore you with it Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you I don't want to bore you with it Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you More and more

We lay beneath the stars Under a lovers tree that's seen through the eyes of my mind I reach out for the part Of me that lives in you that only our two hearts can find

But I don't want to bore you with my trouble But there's sumptin'bout your love That makes me weak and Knocks me off my feet

There's sumptin'bout your love That makes me weak and Knocks me off my feet Knocks me off my feet

I don't want to bore you with it Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you I don't want to bore you with it Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you I don't want to bore you with it Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you Darling I don't want to bore you with it Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you I don't want to bore you with it Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you Darling I don't want to bore you with it Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you

They've been spending most their lives Living in a future paradise They've been spending most their lives Living in a future paradise They've been looking in their minds For the day that sorrow's gone from time They keep telling of the day When the Savior of love will come to stay Tell me who of them will come to be How many of them are you and me

Proclamation of Race Relations Consolation Integration Verification of Revelations Acclamation World Salvation Vibrations Simulation Confirmation.......to the peace of the world

They've been spending most their lives Living in a pastime paradise They've been spending most their lives Living in a pastime paradise They've been spending most their lives Living in a future paradise They've been spending most their lives Living in a future paradise We've been spending too much of our lives Living in a pastime paradise

SUMMER SOFT

Summer soft... Wakes you up with a kiss to start the morning off In the midst of herself playing Santa Claus She brings gifts through her breeze

Morning rain... Gently plays her rythms on your window pane Giving you no clue of when she plans to change To bring rain or sunshine

And so you wait to see what she'll do Is it sun or rain for you But it breaks your heart in two When you find it's October

And she's gone And she's gone Summer's gone Taking with her summer's play

Winter wind... Whispers to you that he wants to be your friend But not waiting for your answer ne begins Forcing dangers 'way with his breeze

Morning snow... Plans to have a winter ball for you to throw But just where or when he never lets you know If it's snow or clear days you'll find

And so you wait to see what he'll do Is it sun or snow for you But it breaks your heart in two Cause you've been fooled by April

And he's gone And he's gone Winter's gone

You find it's October And she's gone And she's gone Summer's gone

You've been fooled by April And she's gone And she's gone Winter's gone

You find it's October And she's gone And she's gone Summer's gone

You've been fooled by April And she's gone And she's gone Winter's gone

ORDINARY PAIN

When by the phoneIn vain you sitYou very soon in your mind realize that it's not justAn ordinary pain in your heart

When you by chanceGo knock on her doorWalkin' away you're convinced that it's much moreThan just an ordinary pain in your heartIt's more than justAn ordinary pain in your heart

Don't fool yourselfBut tell no one elseThat it's more than justAn ordinary painIn your heart

When you catch upBut she says goodbyeHold back your tears and before you start to crySay you feel unnecessary pain in your heart

Tell her you're gladIt's over in factCan she take with her the pain she brought you backTakin that ordinary pain from your heartIt's more than justAn ordinary pain from your heart

Don't fool yourselfBut tell no one elseThat it's more than justAn ordinary painIn your heartIn your heartIn your heart

SATURN

Packing my bags-going away To a place where the air is clean On saturn There's no sense to sit and watch the people die We don't fight our wars the way you do We put back all the things we use On Saturn There's no sense to keep on doing such crimes

There's no principles in what you say No direction in the things you do For your world is soon to come to a close Through the ages all great men have taught Truth and happiness just can't be bought-or sold Tell me why are you people so cold

I'm...... Going back to Saturn where the rings all glow Rainbow, moonbeams and orange snow On Saturn People live to be two hundred and five Going back to saturn where the people smile Don't need cars cause we've learn to fly On Saturn Just to live to us is our natural high

We have come here many times before To find your strategy to peace is war Killing helpless men, women and children That don't even know what they are dying for We can't trust you when you take a stand With a cold expression on your face Saying give us what we want or we'll destroy

I'm...... Going back to Saturn where the rings all glow Rainbow, moonbeams and orange snow On Saturn People live to be two hundred and five Going back to saturn where the people smile Don't need cars cause we've learn to fly On Saturn Just to live to us is our natural high

Ngiculela (Zulu translation by Thoko Mdalose Hall) Ngiculela ikusasgNgliyacula nao thandoNgicula ngelinyi langaUthando luyobusaJikelele kulomblada wethu

Es Una Historia (Spanish translation by Raymond Maldonado)Es una historia de mananaEs una historia de amorEs una historia que amor reineraPor nuestro mundoEs una historia de mi corazon

I am singing There's songs to make you smileThere's songs to make you sadBut with an happy song to sing It never seems so badTo me came this melodySo I've tried to put in words how I feelTomorrow will be for you and me

I am singing of topmorrowI am singing of loveI am singing someday love will reignThrougout this world of oursI am singing of love from my heart

Let's all sing someday sweet love will reignThrougout this world of oursLet's start singingOf love from our heartsLet's start singingOf love from our hearts

IF IT'S MAGIC

If it's magic...Then why can't it be everlastingLike the sun that always shinesLike the poets in this rhymeLike the galaxies in time

If it's pleasing...Then why can't it be never leavingLike the day that never failsLike on seashores there are shellsLike the time that always tells

It holds the key to every heartThroughout the universeIt fills you up without a biteAnd quenches every thirst

So...If it's specialThen with it why aren't we as carefulAs making sure we dress in stylePosing pictures with a smileKeeping danger from a child

It holds the key to every heartThroughout the universeIt fills you up without a biteAnd quenches every thirst

So...If it's magic...Why can't we make it everlastingLike the lifetime of the sun

It will leave no heart undoneFor there's enough for everyone

AS

As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May Just as hate knows love's the cure You can rest your mind assure That I'll be loving you always As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow But in passing will grow older every day Just as all is born is new Do know what I say is true That I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky---ALWAYS Until the ocean covers every mountain high---ALWAYS Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea---ALWAYS Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream

Did you know that true love asks for nothing Her acceptance is the way we pay Did you know that life has given love a guarantee To last through forever and another day Just as time knew to move on since the beginning And the seasons know exactly when to change Just as kindness knows no shame Know through all your joy and pain That I'll be loving you always As today I know I'm living but tomorrow Could make me the past but that I mustn't fear For I'll know deep in my mind The love of me I've left behind Cause I'll be loving you always

Until the day is night and night becomes the day---ALWAYS Until the trees and seas just up and fly away---ALWAYS Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4---ALWAYS Until the day that is the day that are no more Did you know that you're loved by somebody? Until the day the earth starts turning right to left---ALWAYS Until the earth just for the sun denies itself I'll be loving you forever Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through---ALWAYS Until the day that you are me and I am you---AL~~~~~~WA~~ ~~~~~AA~~~~~~~AA~~~~ Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky~~~~~AA~~~~ ~~~~AA~~~~~~~AA~~~~~~~~~AA~~~~~~~YS~~ALWAYS

We all know sometimes lifes hates and troubles Can make you wish you were born in another time and space But you can bet you life times that and twice its double That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed so make sure when you say you're in it but not of it You're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love And maybe our children's grandchildren And their great-great grandchildren will tell I'll be loving you

JOURNEY THROUGH THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS

SAME OLD STORY

Born to open forMankind nature's doorA life known by a few

And those who knew that sharedTheir knowledge fewer caredAbout what plants could do

For most felt it was mad to conceiveThat plants thought, felt, and moved quite like weBut with instruments Bose would deviseWould take Science itself by a surprise, so

On we go to where who knowsTo a place where there's still non-believersWhat will it take for heaven sakesFor those who find what's real too hard to believe inIt's that same old story again.

Born of slaves who diedToo soon to realizeThe need his life would be

Selflessy he gaveHis wisdom to a wayWhere first no minds would see

He said if farm land was to be richWe must plant crops to replenish itBut it took him persuasion and testsTo convince them Canver's way was best, so

On we go to where who knowsTo a place where there's still non-believersWhat will it take for heaven sakesFor those who find what's real too hard to believe inIt's that same old story again.

VENUS' FLYTRAP AND THE BUG

Hello flowerBoy, do you look juicyAnd you know just what I’m coming to get, right

Don’t eat mePlease don’t eat meI’m trapped in your loveSave me, don’t hurt me

AI NO, SONO

There is a gardenWhere every heart canShare in the joy of giving

It like no otherHas love to coverBearing no price on living

Quietty listen and you might hear them singing their lullabyCalling for you to join in their love filled garden

POWER FLOWER

Pan is my nameI live outside the doorI have to keep the score of things around you

Fire and air,water I prepareI am the piper at the gates of dawning

It's not magic it's not madnessJust the elements I styleAnd I guarantee faithfully I will never goUntil all is said and doneIn a twinkling I'll be goneWell excuse me I have so much more to do

Fancy I fell,A childlike tap I'll stealLook twice my friend it's not the wind at all

You'll never see,What you refuse to beThe power in the seeing is believing.

SEND ONE YOUR LOVE

Send her your loveWith a dozen rosesMake sure that she knows itWith a flower from your heart

Show him your loveDon't hold back your feelingsYou don't need a reasonWhen it's straight from the heart

I've heard so many say that the days of romance are no moreAnd people falling in love is so old fashionedBut waiting are they the day they once let slip awayHiding need to fulfill their heart's desire for love’s passion

Send her your loveWith a dozen rosesMake sure that she knows itWith a flower from your heart


I know that people say two hearts beating as one is unrealAnd can only happen in make believe storiesBut so blind they all must be that they cannot believe what they seeFor around us are miracles of love’s glory


OUTSIDE MY WINDOW

La-La-La-LaLa-La-La La-La-LaLa-La-La La-La(repeat 2 times)

Much has been written aboutThe world and all its kind of lovesBut the sweetest of them allYou seldom will find stories of, oh oh oh oh

My love lives outside my windowClouds burst to give waterSo her love can grow, ohMy love smiles to me each morningSays she’ll never leave me and I know it’s so


You don’t have to look aroundOr ask yourself if she is there‘Cause the fragrance of her loveSays hi with every breath of air, oh oh oh oh


You will often hear her nameDescribing another’s prettinessBut if ever there was choice My flower would be the prettiest, oh oh oh oh

My love lives outside my windowClouds burst to give waterSo her love can grow, ohMy love smiles to me each morningSays she’ll never leave me and I know it’s so


BLACK ORCHID

A flake of snow within a stormA new way waiting to be bornIn a world with need of changeA touch of love in fear of hateA rushing wind that's asked to waitFor the promises of rainA pearl of wisdom entrapped by poverty

She gives love with purityFilling minds with hopeful schemesTo build worlds enhanced by peaceDraped in sparkling morning dewShe expresses life anewFrom the earth beneath her feetShe is a flower that growsIn love abilityShe's femininity

Black Orchid, Black OrchidWhy did they make you beginWhen they know in time you'll find your truthbefore your cycle endsBlack Orchid, Black OrchidWhy are you crying their fearsWhen the true reflection of you that they seeIs love besieged by years

She has touched the farthest starHer beauty speaks of what we areAnd her freedom makes us freeHer now is in eternityInfinite to all that seeAnd her dreams have been achievedNow there is a sound of laughterNature signs out her nameFor the world to know her fame

Black Orchid, Black OrchidWhy did they criticizeWhen they knew your love could cast its spell andconsecrate their eyesBlack Orchid, Black OrchidWhy do you linger in spaceWhen you know in every heart that beatsYou hold a special placeWhen you know in every heart that beatsYou hold a special place

COME BACK AS A FLOWER

The starngest thought came to me on this morningAs I awake to greet the coming dawnThe sun was hardly peaking through the gardenIt felt that with everything I was one

Then I wished that I could come back as a flowerAs a flowerAs a flowerHow I wished that I could come back as a flowerAs a flowerTo spread the sweetness of loveTo spread the sweetness of love

The dew had finished making love to manyA rainbow smelling sweet was in the airI envied all the silence I saw growingSo unmoved by things outside themselves

Then how I wished that I could come back as a flowerAs a flowerAs a flowerHow I wished that I could come back as a flowerAs a flowerTo spread the sweetness of love

How I wished that I could come back as a flowerOh as a flowerAs a flowerHow I wished that I could come back as a flowerAs a flowerAs a flowerTo spread the sweetness of loveTo spread the sweetness of love

A SEED'S A STAR / TREE MEDLEY

We're a people black as is your nightBorn to spread Amma's eternal lightWhich since time beganHas been to bring truth to every man

Our ancestors have since long agoPassed their wisdom down so we to knowFor here lies the keyThat will help unfold the mistery

A seed's a starA seed's a star's a seedA star's a seedA star's a seed's a star

In myself I do containThe elements of sun and rainFirst a seed with roots that swellI gradually burst through my shellPushing down into the groundThe root of me is homeward boundA trunk, a leaf and there I amA miracle of least by far

Tree - you are the longest living one we knowthe largest of all plants and still you grow

Tree - within your branches there's such historyso much of what we're searching for to know

Every fifty years we celebratePo Tolo, our star, as it rotatesThough infinitely smallIt is still the heaviest of them all

THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS

I can't conceive the nucleus of allBegins inside a tiny seedAnd what we think as insignificantProvides the purest air we breathe

But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable beingFor these are but a few discoveries We find inside the Secret Life of Plants

A species smaller than the eye can seeOr larger than most living thingsAnd yet we take from it without consentOur shelter, food, habilment

But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable beingFor these are but a few discoveries Wwe find inside the Secret Life of Plants

But far too many give them in return A stomp, cut, drown, or burnAs is they're nothingBut if you ask yourself where would you beWithout them you will find you would not

As if you read my mindAs if you touched my soulAs if you knew exactly where I wanted to go

Let's get high on the happyWith a toast to you and meLove is here just for the givingAnd between us we've got all the love we'll ever need





MASTER BLASTER

Everyone's feeling prettyIt's hotter than JulyThough the world's full of problemsThey couldn't touch us even if they triedFrom the park I hear rhythmsMarley's hot on the boxTonight there will be a partyOn the corner at the end of the block

They want us to join their fightingBut our answer todayIs to let all our worriesLike the breeze through our fingers slip awayPeace has come to ZimbabweThird World's right on the oneNow's the time for celebration'Cause we've only just begun

Didn't know that you Would be jammin' until the break of dawnBet you nobody ever told you that youWould be jammin' until the break of dawnYou would be jammin' and jammin' and jammin', jam onBet you nobody ever told you that you

DO LIKE YOU

(Keita) Show me how to do like you(Aisha) If you say please(Keita) Please

Since age one Keita knew he had the answerAnd it was that someday he'd be a dancerAnd with help from his sisSurely that boy would not missFrom being the baddest dancer in the whole neighborhoodLate at night when he was supposed to be sleeping You could hear the pitter patter of feet creepingTo where music would playTo his sister he would say Before his father said hey boy get right back in that bed

CASH IN YOUR FACE

You just could not know how long we triedTo see how this building looks insideThis must be a lucky day for meBecause the sign says there's a vacancy

Look I know you came a long wayBut you made it just too lateSo we had to give it to somebody elseWell I talked to you on the phone less than fifteen minutes agoAnd you told me that it was coolI graduated from Howard U.My job is paying good money tooAnd if you check on my resumeYou'll find they all wanted me to stay

Well I can't take the time outTo check your credit card‘Cause the computer just broke down todayWell I'll stop by here tomorrow to complete our interviewBut I know what you're gonna sayI know what your bottomline is

You might have the cash but you Can...not cash in your faceWe don't want you living in hereSay you might have the cash but you Can...not cash in your faceWe don't want your kind living in hereToo-oo, Too-oo too bad, Too-oo, too-oo too sad

Our first child is due here any dayThat's why we're desperate for a place to stay

The location is so perfect tooSo please try to do what you can do

Well in this apartment complex no children are allowedAnd if you told me that I could have saved you alot of timeWell I thought the Bill was passed that said you could not discriminateBut I know some excuse you'll findBecause your bottom line is

You might have the cash but youCan...not cash in your faceWe don't want you living in hereSay you might have the cash but youCan...not cash in your faceWe don't want your kind living in hereAye, you might be a great doctorYou might be a great lawyerYou might possess the key to the cityOr maybe a politician You might have the cash but you Can...not cash in your faceWe don't want you living in hereSay you might have the cash but you Can...not cash in your faceWe don't want your kind living in here

LATELY

Lately, I have had the strangest feelingWith no vivid reason here to findYet the thought of losing you's been hanging'round my mind

Far more frequently you're wearing perfumeWith you say no special place to goBut when I ask will you be coming back soonYou don't know, never know

Well, I'm a man of many wishesHope my premonition missesBut what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide‘Cause they always start to cry‘Cause this time could mean goodbye

Lately I've been staring in the mirrorVery slowly picking me apartTrying to tell myself I have no reasonwith your heart

Just the other night while you were sleepingI vaguely heard you whisper someone's nameBut when I ask you of the thoughts your keepingYou just say nothing's changed

Well, I'm a man of many wishesI hope my premonition missesBut what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide‘Cause they always start to cry‘Cause this time could mean goodbye, goodbye

Oh, I'm a man of many wishesI hope my premonition missesBut what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide‘Cause they always start to cry‘Cause this time could mean goodbye

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

You know it doesn't make much senseThere ought to be a law againstAnyone who takes offenseAt a day in your celebrationCause we all know in our mindsThat there ought to be a timeThat we can set asideTo show just how much we love youAnd I'm sure you would agreeIt couldn't fit more perfectlyThan to have a world party on the day you came to be

Happy birthday to youHappy birthday to youHappy birthday


I just never understood How a man who died for goodCould not have a day that wouldBe set aside for his recognitionBecause it should never beJust because some cannot seeThe dream as clear as hethat they should make it become an illusionAnd we all know everythingThat he stood for time will bringFor in peace our hearts will singThanks to Martin Luther King



Why has there never been a holidayWhere peace is celebratedall throughout the world

The time is overdueFor people like me and youWho know the way to truthIs love and unity to all God's childrenIt should never be a great eventAnd the whole day should be spentIn full remembranceOf those who lived and died for the oneness of all peopleSo let us all beginWe know that love can win Let it out don't hold it inSing it loud as you can

Happy birthday to youHappy birthday to youHappy birthdayHappy birthday to youHappy birthday to youHappy birthdayHappy birthday to youHappy birthday to youHappy birthdayHappy birthday to youHappy birthday to youHappy birthdayHappy birthdayHappy birthdayHappy birthdayOoh yeahHappy birthday...

We know the key to unify all peopleIs in the dream that you had so long agoThat lives in all of the hearts of peopleThat believe in unityWe'll make the dream become a realityI know we willBecause our hearts tell us so

ORIGINAL MUSIQUARIUM I

RIBBON IN THE SKY

Oh so long for this night I prayed That a star would guide you my way To share with me this special day Where a ribbon's in the sky for our love

If allowed may I touch your hand And if pleased may I once again So that you too will understand There's a ribbon in the sky for our love

Do...Do... Do Do Do Do Do... HMM HMM...

This is not a coincidence And far more than a lucky chance But what is that was always meant Is our ribbon in the sky for our love, love

We can't lose with God on our side We'll find strength in each tear we cry From now on it will be you and I And our ribbon in the sky Ribbon in the sky A ribbon in the sky for our love

Do...Do... Do Do Do Do Do... HMM HMM...

(Musical Break)

There's a ribbon in the sky for our love

FRONT LINE

I am a veteran of the war I up and joined the army back in 1964 At sixteen I just had to be a man at any cost I volunteered for Vietnam where I got my leg shot off I recall a quote from a movie that said "who's more a man Than a man with a reason that's worth dyin' for"

They had me standing on the front line They had me standing on the front line They had me standing on the front line But now I stand at the back of the line when it comes to gettin' ahead

They gave me a uniform and a tiny salty pill To stop the big urge I might have for the wrong kind of thrill They put a gun in my hand and said, "shoot until he's dead" But it's hard to kill when 'please your friend' echoes through your head

Brought up in church taught no man should take another's life But then put in a jungle where life has no price


Back in the world the paper reads today Another war is in the brewing But what about the lives of yesterday And the many happy families that have been ruined

My niece is a hooker and my nephew's a junkie too But they say I have no right to tell them how they should do They laugh and say "quit bragging" 'bout the war you should never have been in But my mind is so brain-washed I'd prob'bly go back and do it again

I walk the neighborhood parading my purple heart With a fear of agent orange that no one will stop

No New Year's Day to celebrateNo chocolate covered candy hearts to give awayNo first of springNo song to singIn fact here's just another ordinary day

No April rainNo flowers bloomNo wedding Saturday within the month of JuneBut what it is, is something trueMade up of these three words that I must say to you

I just called to say I love youI just called to say how much I careI just called to say I love youAnd I mean it from the bottom of my heart

No summer's highNo warm JulyNo harvest moon to light one tender August nightNo autumn breezeNo falling leavesNot even time for birds to fly to southern skies

No Libra sunNo HalloweenNo giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bringBut what it is, though old so newTo fill your heart like no three words could ever do

I just called to say I love youI just called to say how much I care, I doI just called to say I love youAnd I mean it from the bottom of my heart

MOMENTS AREN'T MOMENTS

Tender, warm and sereneAre the words that might come close to havingRemnants of the feelings that we can no longer hideMighty, shining and clearAre but mere expressions that don't come nearTo the ever glowing eminence of light in our eyes tonight

'Cause moments aren't momentsUntil they are moments like this magic moment of oursAnd magic's not magicUntil it is magic like magical love in our heartsFeeling with tender love-bloom

Gentle, quiet, so softAre the wings of love that can send us offTo an ever splendor unknown to all in our timeTrusting in the unknown and giving in to what feelings have shownWill take us to altered intimacies in our livesWhere we'll find

That moments aren't momentsUntil they are moments like this magic moment of oursAnd magic's not magicUntil it is magic like magical love in our heartsFeeling with tender love-bloom

'Cause moments aren't momentsUntil they are moments like this magic moment of oursAnd magic's not magicUntil it is magic like magical love in our heartsFeeling with tender love-bloom(Repeat twice)

WEAKNESS

Everytime I think our love is drifting apartSomething always throws it back togetherAnd everytime I think I've found someone new for my heartAfter one kiss my heart tells me never

Oh everyone has got a weakness in lifeGirl, you just happen to be mineOh everyone has got a certain weakness in lifeYour love just happens to be mine

Everytime I think your love has no more to giveYou do something more to take me higherAnd everytime I think that for someone else I could liveI'd be living love out as a liar


We keep thinking that our love won't last beyond tomorrowBut our hearts say we're gonna stay in love this way

IN SQUARE CIRCLE

PART-TIME LOVER

Call up, ring once, hang up the phone To let me know you made it home Don't want nothing to be wrong with part-time lover

If she isn't with me I'll blink the lights To let you know tonight's the night For me and you my part-time lover

We are undercover passion on the run Chasing love up against the sun We are strangers by day, lovers by night Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right

If I'm with friends and we should meet Just pass me by, don't even speak Know the word's "discreet" with part-time lovers

But if there's some emergency Have a male friend to ask for me So then she won't peek its really you my part-time lover



(Repeat)

I've got something that I must tell Last night someone rang our doorbell And it was not you my part-time lover

And then a man called our exchange But didn't want to leave his name I guess that two can play the game Of part-time lovers You and me, part-time lovers But, she and he, part-time lovers

OVERJOYED

Over time, I've building my castle of loveJust for two, though you never knew you were my reasonI've gone much too far for you now to sayThat I've got to throw my castle away

Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come trueThough you never knew it was of you I've been dreamingThe sandman has come from too far awayFor you to say come back some other day

And though you don't believe that they doThey do come trueFor did my dreamsCome true when I looked at youAnd maybe too, if you would believeYou too might beOverjoyed, over loved, over me

Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stoneJust to find, I had found what I've searched to discoverI've come much too far for me now to findThe love that I've sought can never be mine

And though you don't believe that they doThey do come trueFor did my dreamsCome true when I looked at youAnd maybe too, if you would believeYou too might beOverjoyed, over loved, over me

And though the odds say improbable What do they knowFor in romanceAll true love needs is a chanceAnd maybe with a chance you will findYou too like IOverjoyed, over loved, over you, over you

LOVE SONGS

UNTIL YOU COME BACK TO ME

Clarence Paul, M. Broadnax and Stevie Wonder

Though you don't call anymoreI sit and wait in vainI guess I'll rap on your doorTap on your window paneI want to tell you BabyThe changes I've been going throughMissing you.Listen you

'till you come back to meThat's what I'm gonna do

Why did you have to decideYou had to set me freeI'm gonna swallow my prideI'm gonna beg you to (please baby please) see meI'm gonna walk by meselfJust to prove that my love is trueOh, for you baby

'till you come back to meThat's what I'm gonna do

Living for you my dearIs like living in a world of constant fearIn my plea, I've got to make you seeThat our love is dying

Although your phone you ignoreSomehow I must explainI'm gonna rap on your doorTap on your window paneI'm gonna camp on your stepUntil I get through to youI've got to change your view baby'till you come back to meThat's what I'm gonna do

You will know Troubled heart you'll know Every life has reason For I made it so

Finds someone but no one is the right one Gets down on their knees and starts to pray Looking up to heaven for the answer They hear a voice that says

You will know Lonely heart you'll know Problems have solutions Trust and I will show

You will know Lonely heart you'll know Every life has reason For I made it so

IN YOUR CORNER

I hear tell there's big fun tonight On the corner of Main and Dog-Meat-Bite Friday midnights would not be right Without Redd's hot party and a nasty fight

But I'll be in your corner I'll be in your corner, if they do I'll be in your corner I'll be in your corner, if they do

You can't renege cause it's going to be alive Fine women, lots of liquor and stuff for your mind Now where we're going they don't like your kind But they'll cool out when you tell them you're a friend of mine

'Cause I'll be in your corner I'll be in your corner, if they do I'll be in your corner I'll be in your corner, if they do

You can't tell your pa and mama Where we're going going till after we've been there 'Cause that might make their poor heads worry And worrying can cause grey hair And one thing might lead to another And if there'e any trouble they'll blame it on me

I think we just might have two to go The pretty looking over here from the middle of the floor We'll make a b-line to Hotel La Sin Where you'll do the talking to get us in

And I'll be in your corner I'll be in your corner, if they do

We shoulda been long gone 'cause this place is hot 'Cause in the corner there are two brothers that are undercover cops If they stop us for questionning mum is the word 'Cause a question not answered is an answer not heard

And I'll be in your corner I'll be in your corner, if they do I'll be in your corner I'll be in your corner, if they do

You can't tell your pa and mama Where we're going going till after we've been there 'Cause that might make their poor heads worry And worrying can cause grey hair And one thing might lead to another And if there's any trouble they'll blame it on me

WITH EACH BEAT OF MY HEART

Honey, sweetI've got something to say to you in privacySomething I'd like for you to hearAnd only your ears alone

Secretly, I've been admiring you intenselySo much so I'd like to settle down with youAnd make a home

You are my first breathMy first smileAnd my morning cup of tea

Yours is the loveThat I pray forBefore I go to sleep

From the time I saw your faceI knew no other could eraseMy loving you with each beat of my heart

Until the day I heard you speakI didn't know that sound was sweetMe hearing you in each beat of my heart

There's a time when playing endsAnd the serious beginsLike the love that I felt from the startWith each beat of my heart

Honey, sweetI soared into a heaven's galaxySo hypnotized was IFrom seeing all the magic in your eyes

So I bringTo you what's been a lifetime fantasyOf being with the only one who canCreate my paradise

You are my first breathMy first smileAnd my morning cup of tea

Yours is the loveThat I pray forBefore I go to sleep

From the time I saw your faceI knew no other could eraseMy loving you with each beat of my heart

Until the day I heard you speakI didn't know that sound was sweetMe hearing you in each beat of my heart

ONE OF A KIND

There we were two lonely souls Existing from day to day Feeling love would never Come our way

Watching lover share their bliss Sadly wishing only if Believing that we had to live Life like this

But Like a bolt of lightning As when two stormy clouds collide We made a joyful happening To our lives

Now we're as happy as can be Me loving you and you loving me Two hearts intertwined Which makes us one of a kind

Feeling the charge of a love evermore Knowing that love is enough to live for It feels so fine Sharing love one of a kind

One of a kind now baby Your love and mine, such ecstasy One of kind sweet darling The only way love is meant to be

United love so fine Living in love one of a kind It feels nothing but fine Sharing our love one of kind -Harmonica Solo-

If we had a second chance At living a second time We'd change everything but our love In our lives

'Cause like a big disaster Lost in a never-ending night We light a light of magic Now we're as happy as can be Me loving you and you loving me Two hearts intertwined Which makes us one of a kind

Feeling the charge of a love evermore Knowing that love is enough to live for It feels so fine Sharing love one of a kind

One of a kind, now baby Your love and mind, such ecstasy One of a kind, sweet darling The only way love is meant to be (Repeat)

FREE

Free like the river Flowin' freely through infinity Free to be sure of What I am and who I need not be Free from all worries Worries prey on oneself's troubled mind Freer than the clock's hands Tickin' way the times Freer than the meaning of free that man defines Life running through me Till I feel my father God has called

Me having nothin' But possessing riches more than all And I'm free To be nowhere But in every place I need to be Freer than a sunbeam Shinning through my soul Free from feelin' heat or knowing bitter cold Free from conceiving the beginning For that's the infinite start

I'm gone - gone but still living Life goes on without a beating heart

Free like a vision That the mind of only you can see

Freer than a raindrop Falling from the sky Freer than a smile in a baby's sleepin' eyes

I'm free like a river Flowin' freely to infinity I'm free to be sure of what I am and who I need not be I'm much freer - like the meaning of the word free that crazy man defines Free - free like the vision that The mind of only you are ever gonna see Free like the river my life Goes on and on through infinity

COME LET ME MAKE YOUR LOVE COME DOWN

There's a girl in my life about 4'10" She's the one who brings me morning joy And brings me joy when my day ends She says my life will never have no problems That her love cannot fix And she proves her worth true Every time she goes into her love bag of tricks

She's got everything I want Everything I need And if she ain't got it She knows how to find the remedy

And she tells me

Come let me make your love come down (Repeat 7 times)

She says you'll never worry in your life As long as you come and let me Make your love come down I call her Miss Satisfaction Cause she keeps me satisfied She gets my automatic smile When she whispers Steveland, I love you, I love you, I love you

Such a lovely world is my life Since that girl has come inside And everyday that I live I'm gonna do my best to keep her satisfied

Our love will never have no problem That the both of us can't fix

Cause like glue to a stamp Like gum on a shoe She and I are going to stick

She's got everything I want Everything I need And if she ain't got it She knows how to find the remedy

And she tells me

Come let me make your love come down (Repeat 7 times)

MY EYES DON'T CRY

I was a lonely no one Living in a vacuum as life's debris Victimized as one whose self deprivation Had made for my outer insecurity

I was a he ain't nothin' Living in the slums of love's misery Starving from the lack of sweet affection 'Til you came to rescue me

My eyes don't cry no more My heart don't ache no more Since you walk through my door I don't have to no longer be blue

My eyes don't cry no more My heart don't ache no more Now that love's touched my soul All my lonely nights alone are through

I was a Mr. Lonely Seeing only darkness in the bright of day Blind even though my eyes were wide opened But then your love sunshined my way



I don't cry, baby baby I don't cry I don't cry, baby baby I don't cry I don't cry, baby baby I don't cry (repeat)

My life was without reason Sinking in a hell that had no space or time Falling to the burning pit of pain and sorrow Until you saved this life of mine



I don't cry, baby baby I don't cry I don't cry, baby baby I don't cry I don't cry, baby baby I don't cry I don't cry, baby baby I don't cry

My eyes don't cry no more My heart don't ache no more My nights are not lonely no more My tears don't flow no more My eyes don't cry, my eyes don't cry, my eyes don't cry no more

And it is so pretty And it is so fine Its the kind you'd love to last you Until the end of time

We've talked of love, we've talked of life And what would make the world so nice We've walked the sand by lover's sea I've held your body close to me

And it is so pretty How I'd love to know For if I had a chance to hold you I'd never let you go

You're my queen in the black With your time-stopping body Queen in the black With your eyes that hypnotize, girl Queen in the black With your voice that's sweet as candy Queen in the black Miss Ebony, you really turn me on

There's not a day that passes by That I don't have you on my mind If this ain't love I have inside Then my heart's telling me a lie Cause it feels so special And it feels so right And if I could I know I'd love you For the rest of my life

You're my queen in the black With your time-stopping body Queen in the black With your eyes that hypnotize, girl Queen in the black With your voice that's sweet as candy Queen in the black With your soft and sexy lips, babe Queen in the black I love the way you move your body

Queen in the black Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh Queen in the black With your time-stopping body Queen in the black With your eyes that hypnotize, girl Queen in the black Yeaow

THESE THREE WORDS

When was the last time That they heard you say Mother or father, I love you And when was the last time That they heard you say Daughter or son, I love you

Ones you say you cherish everyday Can instantly be taken away Then you'd say I know this can't be true When you never took the time To simply tell them "I love you"

When was the last time That they heard you say Sister or brother, I love you And when was the last time That they heard you say Darling or best friend, I love you

The one for whom you'd give your very life Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye Through you tears you'd ask why did you go Knowing you didn't always show Just how much you loved them so

These three wordsSweet and simpleThese three wordsShort and kindThese three wordsAlways kindlesAn aching heart to smile inside

I know a familyWho hasn't a cent to their nameAnd yet the joy and love they have between themThey always claimAnd when one's called from lifeThe survived mourn the lost

49

And will never be the sameYet they rejoiceIn knowing they gave them their all

These three wordsSweet and simpleThese three wordsShort and kindThese three wordsAlways kindles

(repeat and fade)

EACH OTHER'S THROAT

We are supposed to be sisters and brothersBut all we do is constantly dog one anotherWe are supposed to act as each other's coverBut we keep at each other's throatEach other's throatEach other's throatYo, it ain't no jokeWe're at each other's throat -Aowl, Aowl

We are supposed to spread love and not evilBut we've been acting more like heathens than peopleTreating our fellow-man far worse than illegalCause we keep at each other's throatEach other's throatEach other's throatYo, it ain't no jokeWe're at each other's throat -Aowl, Aowl

Ut oh, 11 o'clock pm and here's the newsAnother fatality caused by a family feudCharged, tried, sentenced by the jury of a brother's gunMade sister's fiancee's wedding never to be sungHe didn't like the way he treated the girlSo the boy played God, pow, he ended his world

He made a plea for temporary insanityBut left his sister insane permanentlyThis ain't new, this stuff happens everydaySomebody doesn't like someone so they blow them awayToo fast for reason, too quick to negotiate

Regret and sorrow happens a split second too lateJealousy for power, greed for possessionSelfishness so you give someone a faked out impressionSpeaking of which I'm truly not impressedSo if seeing is believin'-I don't wanna see the mess

Heartless are we on the straight with no chaserAs if for negativity we got the vaporsKnow as I love me so I do love my neighborCause we are too busy at each other's throat

Each other's throatEach other's throatYo, it ain't no jokeWe're at each other's throat -Aowl, Aowl(Repeat)

IF SHE BREAKS YOUR HEART

Featuring Lead Vocals By Kimberly Brewer

My love is gone with yesterday, my love is gonewith yesterday

We had a love for all seasonsAt least that's how it used to beThere was no time, space, or reasonMore special to us than we

My love continued to flourishAs a flower blooms in springThen you tried to play love for sillyBut the loser is the fool who doesn't playlove by the rules

If she breaks your heartI will send a robin to sing happy tunes for youCause I may not be around to do the things I used to doAnd if you awake to find you're lostI will send a glad star to lead you on your wayCause the love I felt insideHas gone away with yesterday

My love is gone with yesterday, my love is gonewith yesterday

There was a time when foreverWas common-place for me and youLaughing, loving, sharing, caringSeemed to be made just for us twoBut I kept on building the dream worldThat I thought was you and ISorry, I'm sadly mistakenCause our castle in the skyHas turned into a mere goodbye

Well if she breaks your heartI will send a robin to sing happy tunes for youCause I may not be around to do the things I used to doAnd if you awake to find you're lostI will send a glad star to lead you on your wayCause the love I felt insideHas gone away with yesterday(Repeat)

My love is gone away with yesterday, my love is gonewith yesterday(Repeat)

GOTTA HAVE YOU

Never been too much for watchingCause there's too many things to viewAnd when eyes begin to wanderThey more than likely never get throughBut beyond my own temptationI'm enticed by what I seeAnd I won't feel satisfactionUntil she's where I want her to be

I gotta have you, I gotta have youI gotta have you for meYou are a sight for sore eyes to seeI gotta make you my realityI gotta have you, I gotta have youI gotta have you for meYou are a sight for sore eyes to seeCome on girl, make you my reality

Never been too much for talkingCause there's too many things to sayAnd by the time that I start speakingThe right moment has slipped awayBut I must break this old traditionAnd try to muster up the wordsAnd though someone else may have said themI'll say them in way you've never heard

I gotta have you, I gotta have youI gotta have you for meYou are a sight for sore eyes to seeI've gotta make you my realityI gotta have you, I gotta have youI gotta have you for meYou are a sight for sore eyes to seeCome on girl, make you my realityGotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, babyGotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, baby(Repeat)

Never been too much for touchingCause there's too many things to feelPlus there's too much disappointmentWhen you find out those feelings ain't realBut here's a time when inner sensesAre gonna have to shine the lightCause I have overly committedMyself in thinking that you're alright

I gotta have you, I gotta have youI gotta have you for meYou are a sight for sore eyes to seeI gotta make you my realityI gotta have you, I gotta have youI gotta have you for meYou are a sight for sore eyes to seeCome on girl, make you my realityGotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, babyGotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, baby(Repeat)

MAKE SURE YOU'RE SURE

Well the night is young And the stars are out And your eyes are all aglow And you say you feel Ways you've never felt But are you sure, make sure you're sure

Well, the wine is sweet And the music sways And your lips are so divine And you say you know That you're falling in love Now, let's be mature, make sure you're sure

I'm not accustomed to wearing my feelings In a place that's so obvious to see But if eyes don't lie There's a chance that you are not fooling yourself and me

Well the night is through And the sun's come out And so too has your lovely smile And you vow to stay In these arms always Can you endure, now are you sure

Love can be so insecure So please be sure

I GO SAILING

I took a worthless trip Down life's avenue Just to try to find a way to smile again While I was on my way I met a wise man who said That happiness you only find within I learned my lesson then

So I go sailing Through the rivers of my mind I go sailing Be surprised what you can find I go sailing Through the rivers of my mind Take a chance on your mind Be surprised what you'll find

I took a friend's advice Who said go up and away Take the magic of a mystery tour But I felt so all alone Though I could almost touch the stars I started missing things I touched before The tour was such a bore

So I go sailing Through the rivers of my mind I go sailing Be surprised what you can find I go sailing Through the rivers of my mind Take a chance on your mind Be surprised what you'll find (Repeat)

CHEMICAL LOVE

People goin' round Tellin' others they are square Around and round in circles Is a ride that goes somewhere All you need to fly Is a heart dying to try A chemical love It's a chemical love

Ain't nothin to it Gettin' cash when you are broke Doin' lots of time Is worth a little snort of coke Infected needles Can aid you in no time Through chemical love You've got a chemical love

Some people crave for physical love Some people crave material love Yet fewer crave for spiritual love You've got a chemical jones You've got a chemical love

Yeah, a chemical love You've got chemical love

Some people find themselves hooked on the weirdest things That have nothing to do with living God's gift to us is our life what's ours to him If it's not our love, then nothing's given, given

Some people crave for physical love Some people crave material love Yet fewer crave for spiritual love You've got a chemical jones For a chemical love

Yes it's true The best things in life are free Not material Chemical or physically Try it for yourself You'll get a guaranteed high From spiritual love, natural miracle drug

Some people crave for physical love Some people crave material love Yet fewer crave for spiritual love You've got a chemical jones You've got a chemical love

You've got a chemical love For a chemical drug

Some people crave for physical love Some people crave material love Yet fewer crave for spiritual love You need a spiritual jones For that spiritual love

I'm talking to you We all could do with spiritual jones For some spiritual love

LIGHTING UP THE CANDLES

Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love

Lighting up the candles To what use to be Tender memories in moments of love Happy times and bad times All seem wonderful When you have a toast to moments of love Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love

Lighting up the candles To what use to be Tender memories in moments of love Happy times and bad times All seem wonderful When you have a toast to moments of love

I really think we could have made it To that forever and a day But destiny and fate decided They would get in our way

Lighting up the candles Wishing you the best Like the happiness in moments of love For lighting up the candles Spark the memories Helping us to see more moments of love

I really think we could have made it To that forever and a day But destiny and fate decided They would get in our way

For lighting up the candles Spark the memories Helping us to see the need for what was Helping us to see more moments of love

Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love Lighting up the candles, lighting up our love

CONVERSATION PEACE

RAIN YOUR LOVE DOWN

Such a lovely world was made for you and me Wondrous life for us to taste, touch, smell, hear, and see

But one glance from outside looking at our world state Clearly displays we don't appreciate it at all

Rain your love down won't you rain down your love

Let it drench us like the sun from above

Such ability inside you and me Made to do anything and be all we can be But one bird's eye view at us does show, oh it shows That against God's Plan we've let it go, oh no


Let it drench us like the sun from above Rain your love down let it rain down today So that it may wash all our sins away

You'd think the signs would make a difference, Oh, make a difference

TABOO TO LOVE

Are you telling me you feelLike you have never feltUt Oh, my heartDon't you know those famous wordsBe seen but not heardTaboo to love

Are you telling me your eyesMet hers to your surpriseBut why, my heart?How loud must you hear me sayHave fun but don't playTaboo to love

Where's your lantern or candlelightSo to guide you through the hidden spacesThrough its said truth unveils all liesFeelings can't be left to roam

So you say you've lost your headBut you use your heart insteadBeware of loveThis is not like you at allWho vowed to never fallTaboo to love, taboo to loveTaboo (Background)To love, taboo to loveTaboo (Background)

Where's your raincoat and over-bootsTo protect you in stormy weatherThough its said when you walk in truthLove can bring you no harm

So you've made up in your mindYou'll leave your fears behindSo brave my heartI guess your heart has made you seeIt's better to be freeNo taboo to love

I guess your heart has made you seeIt's much better to be freeNo taboo to loveNo taboo to loveTaboo (Background)To love, no taboo to loveTaboo (Background)To love, no taboo to loveTaboo (Background)To love, no taboo to loveTaboo (Background)No taboo to love

TAKE THE TIME OUT

Lying out on the street, there's a manThat needs somewhere to sleepAnd a bag-lady digs, through the trashHoping to find some food to eatIn the cold winter's snow, walks a boyThat needs shoes for his feetIn an old run-down house, there's a childIn a crib that needs some heatIn the dark of the night, a young manSearches for a guiding lightAnd a young woman cries in despairCause she feels alone in lifeYou might ask yourself what in the hellDoes that have to do with meWell, here is your wake up call..."Everything!"Cause we all play a part in each other's existence

Take the time out to love someoneReach your arms out and hug someoneBe it king or some homeless oneWe are all one underneath the sun

Take the time out to be right thereTake the time out to show you careYou'll be so glad when the day is doneYou took the time out to love someone

There's a man in a house where they're selling crackYet he's trying to be strongBut when lost in the sea, of no hopeHe must be saved from wrongDon't say what you won't do, if for daysYou had no food to eatNor extremes you won't go, for a bed, shoesOr if your baby needed heatYou do not have the right to pre-judge

If you don't share your strength

And you can't say you're down for the fightIf you won't go the lengthNow I don't really care what you feelIf you don't feel for lifeAnd don't care what you think if your wordsDon't have ways and actions that perpetuate life


Take the time out to be right thereTake the time out to show you careYou'll be so glad when the day is doneYou took the time out to love someone(Repeat)

I think it's time to...


Take the time out to be right thereTake the time out to show you careYou'll be so glad when the day is doneYou took the time out to love someone(Repeat)

I'M NEW

Try to envision you as the oldest living someoneBeing every night and day all aloneGoing through ages and ages, places and spacesWith never finding that someone to call your own

Like a treasure chest of dreams long forgottenHidden for good in a stolen lost and foundBut just when fate was calling quitsLove appeared in the midst of despair, came and turned your life around

I'm new, new like the first day of springNew like a nightingale that's just learned to singI'm new, new like the very start of dawnLike a child that's first born with your love, I'm new

You're standing amongst a crowd of six billion peopleCrying out for help, but no one understandsCause much to your dismay, you've been taken far awayTo a land where joy is pain and sorrow's a happy man

Where an aching heart's the sign of the mightyAnd a love-filled heart looks down upon with fault and shameBut at the very instant all was through, lady lucks appears, says "love can do"And changed you like a Christian who's been born again

I'm new, new like the fresh morning dewNew like a work of art that's finally throughI'm new, new like a first flight of a doveSo safe and secure with your love, I'm new

Love took a long time coming to meBut I've gotta sayI owe my thanks to him for sending you my way, hey

Cause I'm new, new like the first winter snowLike the start of forever, with infinity to goI'm new, new like the birth of the sunForever young I will be

Cause with your love, I'm newNew like from a restful night of sleepNew like a starving man that's had food to eat

I'm new, nothing compares nor can competeSharing with you the sweetness of your love, I'm new

MY LOVE IS WITH YOU

I was just walking down the street Looking forward to seeing the friends I was to meet Yet what happened so tragically Really makes for no sense at all Suddenly two guys confronted me Saying I was in the wrong turf, angrily They said their colors were black but I was wearing gray I started to turn to go back They up and blew me away

My love is with you where ever you are My love is with, where ever you are - (repeat)

Though my life they've taken They can't take what we've shared Spread the love I've given And I'll be there

I was out playing with my friends You know, doing silly things that kids do at ten But the crossfire I was caught in Should not have been in the first place A dropped Monte Carlo came to a screech Someone yelled "nobody gets away with dissent me" Across the street a man pulled his nine Everybody started to run A shower of bullets rang out Mistakenly my life was done, oh


Though my life they've taken They can't take what we've shared Spread the love I've given I'll be there


When you're joyful When you're lonely When you're happy When tears are streaming right down your face In the morning In the noon time In the evening In the wee wee hours of the night time hour In the summer In the springtime In the autumn In the cold long winter, winter nights My love is with you My love is with you my best friend My love is with you my brother My love is with you my sister My love is with you my mother My love is with you my father

I'm with you - (repeat) Ban the hand gun - chant

TREAT MYSELF

Lyrics By Stephanie Andrews

There's a place I can go When the tension is high and I'm feeling low In a falsh I can be in an another space As a different me, have a new id.

I think I'll treat myself to all the pretty places in my head Yes, I'm going to treat myself to all the pretty places in my head

There's no rich, there's no poor Everything is love no such thing as "war" There's no black and no white Rainbow colors they, dress the day and nights, life's paradise

I think I'll treat myself to all the pretty places in my head Yes, I'm going to treat myself to all the pretty places in my head

It's amazing how the mind Can do what you want it to It can take you to a time Where you'll want to stay forever Feeling overlasting pleasure

If your life's in a place That you can hardly bare Come along with me to mental ecxtasy

I think I'll treat myself to all the pretty places in my head Yes, I'm going to treat myself to all the pretty places in my head (repeat)

TOMORROW ROBINS WILL SING

Chatting - Written by Edley Shine

Now every ting is lovelySo don't put yu trust inna false prophecyDis a de Edley Shine & StevieYou might wonderStand firm to all those who feel concernCa when you can't see the lightYou must see the Robins in flightLife is just a matter of time or spaceSo all those who have to face sorrowShall only have to wait till tomorrowBig tings a guan dis yearSo mek we drop inna gearCome cross missa Stevie WonderWatch it!

Now where do I start to make the point that I'll be makingTo most efficiently use your time that I'll be takingWith the clear understanding that every ticking second is precious to us allBut if you let me bend your ear and listen up you will hearNot just what I say, but every word that I am saying

You wake in the morning from a dream with spirits dope hypeThough you real life condition is far from being alrightYour love has wronged you, your money's gone, you've lost your home and everything you ownBut before you do something major extremeI've got one simple thing for you to take along with you, as you go on your lonely way

Tomorrow robins will sing, tomorrow robins will singIt really is no big thing, cause tomorrow robins will singTomorrow blue jays will fly, the weather forecasts clear skiesSo dry those tears from your eyes, cause tomorrow blue jays will fly

You borrow a dime to call up a friend that you could rely onThey put the phone down, you hear in the background "tell him I'm not home"Your face is broken, your throat is chokin, you hang up the phone in disbeliefAnd to make matters worseYou can remember you were the first and only one to come to him when lonely was his everyday

But if what you did came from your heart and not expectingThen you should not waste one heart beat on any regrettingThe saying's older than old yet true for today as when it was made to be toldAs you saw so shall you reapAnd if you've treated life sweetYour blessing's been ordained and already on its way

Tomorrow robins will sing, tomorrow robins will singIt really is no big thing, cause tomorrow robins will singTomorrow blue jays will fly, the weather forecasts clear skiesSo dry those tears from your eyes, cause tomorrow blue jays will fly

Today is the tomorrow you were so worried aboutLooking over your yesterdayThe clouds are gone and the sun is outAnd everything has worked out irie okay

Tomorrow robins will sing, tomorrow robins will singIt really is no big thing, cause tomorrow robins will singTomorrow blue jays will fly, the weather forecasts clear skiesSo dry those tears from your eyes, cause tomorrow blue jays will flyTomorrow robins will sing, tomorrow robins will singIt really is no big thing, cause tomorrow robins will sing

SENSUOUS WHISPER

I've seen you, I saw you, I see youwithout little notice, if any at allOf you knowing me watchin youYou walking, you talking, you smilingYou styling in everything your body wearsAnd that's not just a point of viewThey're painting, they're ranting, they're ravingAbout Miss Lovely got it going onFrom head down to her toesAnd no one knows better than I knowCause I've been listening to the spirit ofYour body, mind and soul

It's a sensuous whisperThat makes my body weakIt's that sensuous whisper That's sweeter than the sweetest sweetIt's that sensuous whisper That makes my psyche sayOoh we, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we

Can feel you, can smell you, can taste youThough my senses never had the pleasure ofThat lovely wondermentBut I start to shaking, I shiver, to think that little sparkle in your eyeMeans you are giving me some kind of hintI'm ready, I'm willing, I'm ableIn fact those words are at the tip of my tongueEagerly waiting for me to sayThen you smile and whisper "how are you?"But when I move my lips and try to speak the words just go away

It's a sensuous whisperThat makes my body weakIt's that sensuous whisper That's sweeter than the sweetest sweetIt's that sensuous whisper That makes my psyche sayOoh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we

It's that sensuous whisper that's got me trippin outIt's that sensuous whisperThat I don't wanna do withoutIt's that sensuous whisperThat makes me want to shoutOoh we, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we

I don't even care how long it takesAs long as I have you lying next to meCause to wait forever and a dayIs a small price to pay if it's you I'm gettingIf it's you I'm getting, I'm not quittingAnd that is how I'm living

I'm clinging, not dreaming, but schemingWith my nose against the grind and both my eyes focused upon the prizeI think it, I trust it, I know itYour love that I've longed for is gonna be mineGood things do come in timeI'm right on the rythm you're givinBut this is more than giving up some casual mental telepathy

The music, the candles, the champagne and all that's neededIs one thing to give it authenticity

It's a sensuous whisperThat makes my body weakIt's that sensuous whisper That's sweeter than the sweetest sweetIt's that sensuous whisper That makes my psyche sayOoh wee, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we

It's that sensuous whisper That's got me trippin outIt's that sensuous whisperThat I don't wanna do withoutIt's that sensuous whisperThat makes me want to shoutOoh we, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we

It's a sensuous whisperThat makes my body rockIt's that sensuous whisper That makes me beg baby don't ever stopIt's that sensuous whisper That always get me hot, babyOoh wee, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we

It's that sensuous whisper That makes me feel alrightIt's that sensuous whisperThat keep me wanting you morning, noon and every single nightIt's that sensuous whisperDon't want you out of my sight, babyOoh we, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we

It's that sensuous whisper (repeat)

FOR YOUR LOVE

All the gold in the world Is nothing to possess If all the things that it can bring Can't add up to one ounce of your happiness

And for your love I would do anything Just to see you smile upon your face For your love I would go anywhere Just you tell me and I'll be right there

A diamond that shines Like a star in the sky Is nothing to behold For minuscule is any light If it can't like you brighten up my soul

And for your love I would do anything Just to see you smile upon your face For your love I would go anywhere Just you tell me and I'll be right there

I could have never fathomed this Such joy , love and tenderness That you give to me For the love I feel inside It's so wonderful I can't hide And I glow, I glow With just the thought of you I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

And for your love I would do anything Just to see you smile upon your face For your love

54

I would go anywhere Just you tell me and I'll be right there

COLD CHILL

Feelin young and full of funHangin out with my crewHot to trot and about to popTryin to find some girl to get into

There she was fine as can beHair braided down to her kneesShe took me home, she turned me outBut before sunrise she said I must leave

It was a cold chill on a summer nightNever thought the girlie wouldn't treat me rightIt was a cold chill on a summer dayNever thought the girl would dog me out that wayIt was a cold chill on a summer mornNever cried like a baby since the day I was bornIt was a cold chill on a summer eveNever had no chopper bring me to my knees

I was feeling so trustingGave it all right down to the boneBut she did me wrongOn a summer night

Far from meek, and feelin chicRefusing to concede defeatThere I was same crew, same timeSame club we kicked it at the previous week

I asked her how could she have the nerveTo treat me with such disgraceShe blinked her eyes, smiled, apologizedThrew her drink right in my face


I was feeling so trustingGave it all right down to the boneBut she did me wrongOn a summer night, on a summer nightOn a summer night, on a summer nightA cold chill, a cold chill, a cold chill, cold chill

Weekends came and weekends passedBut not the yearning in my heartAnd there she was to light the sparkLike she did right from the very start

I took no time, drove to her houseGot deep into a passion highI heard a knock, the turn of a keyAnd the voice of another guy


I was feeling so trustingGave it all right down to the boneBut she did me wrongOn a summer night, on a summer nightOn a summer night, on a summer night

It was a cold chillLike standing in the deep freezeA cold chillLike when snow's above your kneesCold chill

Like sitting at the north poleA cold chillWearing not one stitch of clothesCold chillLike a winter Chicago nightA cold chillTwenty ice cubes down your back for spiteCold chillStranded in sub-zero degreesA cold chillLayed out on the arctic seaCold chillWhen your fingers get frost biteA cold chillBuried beneath ten feet of iceCold chillBaby, that ain't so niceA cold chill

SORRY

Into each life there comes a timeWhen you must pay your lovers' duesBreakin' out in a cold sweatCause you've been rightfully accused

I'm not such a strong manThat love can't make me weakYou're walkin' out the doorAnd it's hurting me so deep, so deep

And I'm sorrySorry that I made you crySorry, sorry that I told you liesI'm sorry, sorry the way we fuss and fightI'm sorry, sorry cause now you'resaying goodbye to me

Every young boy will grow upTo then become a manThen the difference from wrong and rightHe clearly understandsI'm not such a big manThat I can't break down in tearsCause my whole body went into shockWhen you told me you were out of here! Out of here!

And I'm sorrySorry that I made you crySorry, sorry that I told you liesI'm sorry, sorry the way we fuss and fightI'm sorry, sorry cause now you're sayinggoodbye to me, to me

I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to youI'm sorry baby, that I ever made you cryI'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to youI'm sorry baby, that I ever told you liesI'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to youI'm sorry baby, sorry the way we fuss and fightI'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to youI'm sorry baby, so sorry

If you added up all the good timesAnd compared them with the badYou'd realize that our loveWas the best you ever had

I'm not such a proud manThat I won't cop a pleaSee me baby girl, I'm on my kneesBeggin please, baby please, baby please, oh yeah

I'm sorry, sorry that I made you crySorry, sorry that I told you liesI'm sorry, I'm sorry the way we fuss and fightI'm sorry, sorry cause now you'resaying goodbye to me, me baby, me baby, me baby

I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to youI'm sorry baby, that I ever told you liesI'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to youI'm sorry baby, that I ever made you cryI'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you

I'm sorry baby, sorry the way we fuss and fightI'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry,sorry, sorry (repeat)

CONVERSATION PEACE

Staring right at 2000 AD As if mankind's atrocities to man has no history But just a glance at life in 2000 BC We find traces of man's inhumanity to man There's no mystery

All for one, one for all There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights Unless we heed the call Me for you, you for me There's no chance of world salvation Less the conversation's peace

We can't pause, watch and say "no" this can't be When there's a plan by any means to have Cleansing of one's ethnicity And we shouldn't act as if we don't hear nor see Like the holocaust of six million Jews and A hundred and fifty million blacks during slavery

All for one, one for all There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights Unless we heed the call Me for you, you for me There's no chance of world salvation Less the conversation's peace

When publicly or privately convened May love, positivity and life's preservation be the basic theme And shouuld you put your trust in some prophet in life Give him trust but your faith must stay with the one Who gave the ultimate sacrifice for...

All for one, one for all There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights Unless we heed the call Me for you, you for me Ther's no chance of world salvation Less the conversation is peace (repeat)

NATURAL WONDER

STAY GOLD

Seize upon that moment long ago One breath away and there you will be So young and carefree Again you will see That place in time...so gold

Steal away into that way back when You thought that all would last forever But like the weather Nothing can ever...and be in time Stay gold

But can it be When we can see So vividly A memory And yes you say So must the day Too, fade away And leave a ray of sun So gold

Life is but a twinkling of an eye Yet filled with sorrow and compassion though not imagined All things that happen Will age too old Though gold

DANCING TO THE RYTHM

Lonely, my life used to be lonely Lonely as the single lonely number one Lonely like a lonely sun With not even one iota to shine upon

Crying, deep inside I was crying Like the muddy Mississippi, my tears flowed Carrying with it my lonely soul With not even a clue of who, where or what I would become

Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody To hold me, control me, show me what I should do with my broken life But oh, was I lifted when I let your light inside my body Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you in my, my, my, my li-li-life

I'm dancing to the rythm of your love Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love Forever greateful for your love

Money, oh how did I have money Enough to last me from the start til the end of time With some more to leave behind And yet I was a cent-less pauper in distress I can, feel the very presence of your love here Though I've never seen the pleasure of your smile No, I've never touched your hand And yet you've given me eternal happiness

Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody To hold me, control me, show me what I should do with my broken life But oh, was I lifted when I let your light inside my body Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you in my, my, my, my li-li-life

I'm dancing to the rythm of your love Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love Forever greateful for your sweet, sweet love (Repeat) Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody To hold me, control me, show me what I should do with my broken life

But oh, was I lifted when I let God's light inside my body Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you in my, my, my, my li-li-life

I'm dancing to the rythm of your love Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love Giving all praises of your sweet, sweet love Forever greateful for your sweet, sweet love (Repeat)

MS. & MR. LITTLE ONES

What is that that you're looking through a pornographic magazine?When I bet you don't even know how tospell the wordAnd you say you don't leave home unlessyou're strappedWith your uzi sub machineWhen you've just barely come into this worldWell, if a child's ways and actionsReflect what they hear and seeGuess the only ones to blame are you and me

Ms. & Mr. Little OnesLook what's happened to our world Ms. & Mr. Little OnesWe're so sorryThe only chance for a better oneIs up to you and hePlease! Forgive us for what we've doneMs. & Mr. Little Ones

What kind of name is that you're calling herI've heard that word beforeBut I don't think any parent would give theirdaughter a name so lowAnd about this extra paraphernaliaYou say you're carrying to get high

That won't take you anywhere you want to goWell, you don't have to listenCause it's here for you to seeSo many burnt out lives trapped in their misery

Ms. & Mr. Little OnesLook what's happened to our worldMs. & Mr. Little OnesWe're so sorryThe only chance for a better oneIs up to you and hePlease! Forgive us for what we've doneMs. & Mr. Little Ones

Oh, I could rattle on about the good old daysAnd how life used to beAnd even inwardly relive them vividlyBut the best advice I can give to youIs that we only go around one timeTreat each day like this is itAnd give it the best you can

Ms. & Mr. Little OnesLook what's happened to our worldMs. & Mr. Little OnesWe're so sorryThe only chance for a better oneIs up to you and hePlease! Forgive us for what we've doneMs. & Mr. Little Ones

Ms. & Mr. Little OnesLook what's happened to our worldMs. & Mr. Little OnesWe're so sorryThere's so much we should and shouldhave never doneThat's why we're beggin' on our kneesPlease! Forgive us for what we've doneMs. & Mr. Little OnesMs. & Mr. Little Ones

SONG REVIEW

KISS LONELY GOOD-BYE

Give me a chance to catch my breathCause I'm in a state of aweGuess miracles do never ceaseFor we're back together now

Pardon me please if I pinch myselfSo to know this is not a dreamAs I reminisce the love e sharedAnd the pain there was between

Look at the clouds in the skyThey seem so happy nowLook at the sun, feel its raysWith such a smiling faceMaybe we can't but maybe we canWith the love that we're feeling insideShare it with all the world and see each heartKiss lonely good-bye

If given a chance to live againI'd change not a single thingCause that little chance could sadly meanThat you to me faith wouldn't bring

Partly I cry for those linely nightsAnd a heartache I thought couldn't endYet joyfully I cry cause I know our loveWe won't let us lose again, never again

Look at the clouds in the skyThey seem so happy nowLook at the sun, feel its raysWith such a smiling faceMaybe we can't but maybe we canWith the love that we're feeling insideShare it with all the world and see each heartKiss lonely good-bye

Look at the clouds in the skyThey seem so happy nowLook at the sun, feel its raysWith such a smiling faceMaybe we can't but maybe we canWith the love that we're feeling insideShare it with all the world and see each heartShare it with all the world and see each heartShare it with all the world and see each heart kiss lonely good-byeShare it with all the world and see each heart kiss lonely good-bye

FADEMY LOVE

My love is warmer than a smileMy love gives to every needing childIf anyone should ask you who's my true loveTell them my love trueIs ever letting all their love come through

My love sees love with not a faceAnd lives to love through time and spaceIf all of everything about my loveFits to the tune of youThen you can say that you are my love too

Let my love shine through out the worldTo every mountain top and steepleLet it be felt by every soul'Til love's all overLet it reach out to every heartTo every disenfranchised people'Til it is present and no moreIs pain all over

Our love sees love's the key to peaceWe'll pray 'til all world wars have ceasedShould you or anyone you know enoughTo say they feel as weThen let our universal song be free

Let our love shine through out the worldTo every mountain top and steepleLet it be felt by every soul'Til love's all over

Say words of love to all we seeTo rich and poor for love is equalLet us lift up humanitySpread love all overLet all its forces join as oneSo to rebuke all signs of evilThrough every valley, land and seaOur love's all people

Feeble is the mind that says they don't careSelfish is the heart that won't give their sharePoor them, Poor weWasted is the mind that won't take a standLieth the tongue that says they can't when they canPoor him, Poor sheFor as long as we live,And are blessed with air on earth to breatheWe all should live to keep our love aliveMore than blinds the soul that sees but won't showLost the leader with the way but won't goFor you, For meWorthless is the one with will but won't tryGrounded are we all if we don't think highOf you, You of meFor as long as we live,And are blessed with air on earth to breatheWe all should live to keep our love aliveLet's keep our love aliveFor as long as I live,And am blessed with air on earth to breatheI know I'll live to keep our love alive.

HOW COME, HOW LONG

Stevie Wonder and Babyface

There was a girl I used to knowShe was oh so beautifulBut she's not here anymoreShe had a college degreeSmart as anyone could beShe had so much to live forBut she fell in loveWith the wrong kinda manHe abused her love and treated her so badThere was not enough education in her worldThat could save the life of this little girl

How come, how longIt's not right, it's so wrongDo we let it just go onTurn our backs and carry onWake up, for it's too lateRight now, we can't waitShe won't have a second tryOpen up your heartsAs well as your eyes

She tried to give a cry for helpShe even blamed things on herselfBut no one came to her aidNothing was wrong as far as we could tellThat's what we'd like to tell ourselvesBut no, it wasn't that waySo she fell in loveWith the wrong kinda manAnd she paid with her lifeFor loving that manSo we cannot ignore,We must look for the signsAnd maybe next time we might savesomebody's life


I on occasion met that guyIt's been a feeling deep insideSome ... wasn't rightThe way he proves himself a manBy beating his woman with his handsOh I wish that she'd seen the lightHow can someone like that call himself a manHe's not a manSoon reality ...And we cannot ignoreWhenever we see the signs'Cause any kind of abuseGod knows, it's a crime


TRUE TO YOUR HEART

Baby, I knew at once thatyou were meant for meDeep in my soul I knowthat I'm your destinyThough you're unsureWhy fight the tideDon't think so muchLet your heart decide

Baby, I see your futureand it's tied to mineI look in your eyes and seeyou searching for a signBut you'll never fallTill you let goDon't be so scaredOf what you don't know

True to you heartYou must be trueto your heartThat's when theheavens will partAnd baby, shower youwith my loveOpen your eyesYour heart can tellyou no liesAnd when you're trueto your heartI know it's gonna leadyou straight to me(Got to be trueTo your heart)

Someone you know is onyour side, can set you freeI can do that for you ifyou believe in meWhy second-guessWhat feels so rightJust trust your heartAnd you'll see the light

True to you heartYou must be trueto your heartThat's when theheavens will partAnd baby, shower youwith my loveOpen your eyesYour heart can tellyou no liesAnd when you're trueto your heartI know it's gonna leadyou straight to me

(Ya know it's true)Your heart knowswhat's good for you(Good for you)Let your heart showyou the way(Ya know it's true)It'll see you through(Got to be trueTo your heart)

Girl, my heart is drivingme to where you areWell, you can take both hands offthe wheel and still get farBe swept awayEnjoy the rideYou won't get lostWith your heart to guide you

True to you heartYou must be trueto your heartThat's when theheavens will partAnd baby, shower youwith my loveOpen your eyesYour heart can tell you no liesAnd when you're trueto your heartI know it's gonna leadyou straight to me

True to you heartYou must be trueto your heartThat's when theheavens will partAnd baby, shower youwith my loveOpen your eyesYour heart will tell you no liesAnd when it's trueto your heartI know it's gonna leadyou straight to me(Got to be trueTo your heart)

When things are getting' crazyAnd you don't knowwhere to startKeep on believin', babyJust be true to your heartWhen all the worldaround youIt seems to fall apartKeep on believin', babyJust be true to your heart
