Remember the times we used to play
We'd sing and we'd dance all damn day
But all I do is sing the blues
But have I forsaken you by telling you
What you must do
And all I do is sing the blues
But I would never lie, let things go by
Leave you in a road to die
I would never ever say good bye
Never gonna say good bye
Never gonna say good bye
Remember the times that we
Used to share
You got to remember the times
That we used to share
That we used to share
But the only way for you to survive
Is to open your heart it will guide
You wanna stay in this world of music and life
You got to turn around
And spread a little love and get high
| |

| |
| Someone Like You | |
| |
Waiting impatiently for you to come
Wondering if you will always be the one
Is this good for you
Is it wonderful for you too
'Cause baby I told you I'm ready for love
I'm anticipating and waiting for some
Tell me what to do
Tell me baby 'cause I love you
It's been so lovely
Now that I got you
I've been looking for someone like you
Someone like you
What do you like to do
What do you got to say
Just tell me baby what's on your brain
'Cause I just want to sit down and talk for awhile
Do you want to make babies ?
Do you want a career
Well whatever it is darling, I just want you near
And we'll be together just you and me dear
It's been so lovely (It's been so lovely)
Since I find you
I was praying for someone like you
Someone like you
Ain't been lonely
Now that I got you
I was waiting for someone like you
Come on come on come on yeah
Been so lovely
Now that I got you
I've been waiting for someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you ......

| Let Love Rule | |

Love is gentle as a rose
And love can conquer any war
It's time to take a stand
Brothers and sisters join hands
We got to let love rule
Let love rule
We got to let love rule
Let love rule
Love transcends all space and time
And love can make a little child smile
Can't you see this won't go wrong
But we got to be strong
We can't do it alone
We got to let love rule
Let love rule
We got to let love rule
Let love rule

| My Precious Love | |
| |
You came to me like a dream
How would I know it was a scheme
To get me to you
Your eyes burned like fire
Through my heart
Although we were life times apart
Making mistakes was my game
Your life I tried to rearrange
But now I know a better way
My precious love
Now you're a woman
You've got a child
And those days of being wild
Are gone with the past
But now baby you still ain't got no home
All those endless nights you've had to roam
But I know a better way
My precious love

| I Build This Garden For Us | |
| |
In this garden
This lovely garden
I build a temple of love
Walk with the Father
Won't be a bother
To touch the Earth as it was
We'll farm the land each day
And in the sunshine we will play
Glory glory for the day He came
Our tears had gone away
We'll make love in the shade
And in the ocean we will bathe
Little fishies in the sea
Say hooray
I build this garden for us
In this garden
Our children will grow
Darling this is a must
We'll be so happy
Our little family
So full of love and trust
And darling when we're old
We'll close the gates and lock the door
Our love will never fade away
When it's pure it's forever last
And darling when you're cold
I'll hold you tight and keep you warm
Little darlin' gonna make it through the storm
You'll never be alone
I build this garden for us
In this garden
They'll be no war
No racial prejudice
You'll be my brother
Of any color
You'll just be okay with us
We'll love each day in peace
In hope that we will one day reach
The rest of the world
When they are ready to be teached
The kingdom will come
Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in heaven
I build this garden
I build this garden for us
I build this garden for us

| Fear | |
| |
I smell the fear that rains inside
The thought of children who must oblige
To tainted dreams and polluted seas
The missing moon and melting trees
A mist of doom and clouds of pain
Toxic waste and acid rain
The passing of our ignorance
A lifetime spent in abstinence
Living in fear
Living in fear
I can't tell you no lies
Living in fear
Living in fear
Conditioning to hate and them to blame
Their search for God is just the same
Machines for hearts, how warped a view
Forgetting that they're human too
Waiting like a branded steer
Who first will launch the burning spear
When every day may be your last
You think we'd learn from our past
Living in fear
Living in fear
I can't tell you no lies
Living in fear
Living in fear
I smell the fear that rains inside
The thought of so many lives denied
More wounded soldiers, another burning flag
And rows and rows of body bags
No time for tears as the night falls cold
The days survivors crawl back in their holes
As for the rest they're shipped back home
Home to the rows of white tomb stones
Living in fear
Living in fear
I can't tell you no lies
Living in fear
Living in fear

| Does Anybody Out There Even Care | |
| |
The dream is lost
Don't let it slip away
Or bloody days won't be far away
Cause when there's no more sin
There's no where you can run
Does anybody know how many lives we've lost
Can anybody ever pay the cost
What will it take for us to join in peace my friends
Does anybody out there even care
Wake up world before it's too late
It's time for love to conquer hate
And when that battle's won
We all can live as one
Does anybody know how many lives we've lost
Can anybody ever pay the cost
What will it take for us to join in peace my friends
Does anybody out there even care
Riots in the streets, men dressed in white sheets
Is that what we want
A little boy hanging from a tree and a burning cross
If we can learn that we're one we can overcome
Before this takes us all
We'd better catch ourselves before we fall
Does anybody know how many lives we've lost
Can anybody ever pay the cost
What will it take for us to join in peace my friends
Does anybody out there even care

Mr. Cab Driver won't you stop to let me in
Mr. Cab Driver don't you like my kind of skin
Mr. Cab Driver you're never gonna win
Mr. Cab Driver won't stop to pick me up
Mr. Cab Driver I might need some help
Mr. Cab Driver only thinks about himself
Mr. Cab Driver
Mr. Cab Driver
Mr. Cab Driver don't like to way I look
He don't like dreads he thinks we're all crooks
Mr. Cab Driver reads too many story books
Mr. Cab Driver pass me up with eyes of fire
Mr. Cab Driver thinks we're all 165'ers
Mr. Cab Driver fuck you I'm a survivor
Let me in

| Rosemary | |
| |
Little Mary was five years old
Her parents left her, she was out in the cold
Alone to live and find her way
In this great world of heartache and pain
Eyes of brown, matted locks of gold
Her flowered dress is tattered and soiled
Tear stained cheeks, her feet cold and bare
Who could have left a child so rare
Rosemary your day will come
He loved you so He gave His only son
Keep the faith in your soul
Stay down on your knees
I'm beggin you please
Hold onto the beads at your heart
A burning heart and tired eyes
Howling winds for lullabys
No one there to soothe her fright
Nowhere to turn but the inward light
Because life is for believing
That your heart can turn to gold
All you need is Christ to receive it
There's eternal life for every soul
Rosemary your day will come
He loved you so He gave His only son
Keep the faith in your soul
Stay down on your knees
I'm begging you please
Hold onto the beads at your heart
He loves you He needs you He wants you
So don't let Him down

Lord what's the matter
Am I lost
This life's a disaster, what is the cause
Am I a junkie, what is my fate
Or am I a flunkie who doesn't relate
Or am I a child so full of hate
Am I a doctor or even a priest
Or am I a rapist who needs a release
A psychotic prancer
Times Square dancer
The mind can see as long as you'll be
For real with yourself
And you'll forever be
Lord what's the matter am I insane
This life's an illusion that's all it remains
Are you listening, are you boss
Am I gonna make it up on that cross
Believe in Your name and
You'll forever be

| Fields Of Joy | |

Let's wander slowly through the fields
Slowly slowly through the fields
I touch the leaves that touch the sky
Just you and I through fields of joy
All trouble slowly fades away
Slowly slowly fades away
I hold your hand inside my hand
Across the land through fields of joy
The sound of music that we hear
The blend of colors in the air
All cities, mountains disappear from view
All truth and beauty near to me and you
With you through the fields
With you through the fields
With you through the fields
The fields of joy
Let's wander slowly through the fields
Slowly slowly through the fields
I know our love will never die
Just you and I
Through fields of joy
Through fields of joy

My mama said
That your life is a gift
And my mama said
There's much weight you will lift
And my mama said
Leave those bad boys alone
And my mama said
Be home before the dawn
And my mama said
You can be rich or poor
But my mama said
You can be big or small
But I'm always on the run
My mama said
That it's good to be fruitful
But my mama said
Don't take more than a mouthful
And my mama said
That it's good to be natural
And my mama said
That it's good to be factual
But I'm always on the run
My mama said
Baby don't ride that crazy horse
And my mama said
You must push with much force
And my mama said
Go get all that you're after
And my mama said
That love's all that matters
But I'm always on the run

| Stand By My Woman | |

There were times I wasn't kind
And there were times I wasn't even around
And there were times I made you cry
So many times I had to say goodbye
When you want to talk
I'm on the phone
But now baby I am here for you alone
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home
There were times I didn't understand
And there were times I wouldn't hold your hand
But baby now I'm here for you
'Cause baby I am so in love with you
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home
I'm gonna stand by my woman now

'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home
I'm gonna stand by my woman now

| It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over | |

Here we are still together
We are one
So much time wasted
Playing games with love
So many tears I've cried
So much pain iside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
To keep our love alive
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
How many times
Did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fear
Kept me wondering
If I'd always be in love
So many tears I've cried
So much pain iside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over

More than anything in this world
I just want you to be my woman
More than anything in this world

I'd walk through fire
Stand in the rain

On a plane
I'd scale the mountains
Swim the seas

Down on my knees
More than anything in this world
I just want you to be my woman
More than anything in this world
I wanna be your man
I caused you sorrow
I've caused you pain
But love is all we will have to gain
I searched to whole world, oh I
And I want you to be my baby
More than anything in this world
I just want you to be my woman
More than anything in this world
I wanna be your man

| What Goes Around Comes Around | |

My pockets were full and now my money's gone
My friends come around and now they're gone
Things come and they come and then they go
And where they go nobody knows
It's gonna come around
What goes around comes around

My cup over runneth with the fullness and grace
Yet people push bullshit in my face

My brother keep striving your child relies
It's gonna come around
What goes around comes around
It's gonna come around
What goes around comes around
This world keeps on spinning does the future know?
We're destined to screw ourselves one blow
We've ruined what's pure down from nature below
You'd better look back it'll all be gone
It's gonna come around
What goes around comes around
It's gonna come around
What goes around comes around
So children please listen this world is yours
This message is too deep to ignore
Your forefathers said but they did not do
The things that would show that they cared for you
It's gonna come around

| The Difference Is Why | |
| |
I'm just a human
I never said I was god
And each day I wonder where you are
How could our lives once be so together
Now we're apart
I know we can make it
But where do we start?
Sometimes the scales get unbalanced
Don't you know the reason why?
The difference is why
The difference is why
You say you can't trust me
Have you tried?
You say you don't love me
That's a lie
There are so many so many rainbows
That we were to climb
But baby baby why can't we survive?
We've got to get our heads untangled
And free our state of mind
The difference is why
The difference is why
Sometimes the scales get unbalanced
Don't you know the reason why?
The difference is why
The difference is why
Does this have to mean goodbye?

Baby can't keep on running
All I want you to do is to feel with me yeah
We both are hurting
And it's gonna take a little time

All I ever wanted was love
Remember kissing in the moonlight?
How we held each other all night
All I ever wanted was love

| When The Morning Turns To Night | |

Little girl with heroin so blue
You've got to find the future in you
Your scepters and needles will put you away
Forever and a day
Your future will haunt you before you get there
Imagine the planet with no air
All mute no light no sun only light
As far away as neverland
As the sky comes tumbling down to the head
And the valleys are all filed up with dirt
As many people as there are sands in the sea
Will die the morning after
So little girl with your heroin so blue
I guess our future is all up to you
Through the battle sequence you must fight
'Til the morning turns to night
So imagine our world with no air
Just follow the son, he'll take you where
The night and the seas are all full of light
'Til the morning turns to night
'Til the morning turns to night

| What The Fuck Are We Saying | |
| |
Will we ever understand?
Or is the fate of man at hand?
Will we live or shall we die?
How will we ever know if we never try?
The government's the devil's hands
It's a lie and it's a scam
They wind us up, put us down, and watch us go
And if you close your eyes
There's a big surprise
What the fuck are we saying?
Do we feel what we dream about?
We've got to keep on praying
And one day we'll see the light
I've been lost in the name of love
And we kill our brothers daily in the name of god
We'd better chill before we take on some tribulation
And if we realized
Then we'd make a little love now sing
What the fuck are we saying?
Do we believe what we read about?
We've got to keep on praying
And one day we'll see the light
What the fuck are we saying?
Do we feel what we dream about?
We've got to keep on praying
And one day we'll see the light

You are the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen
You shine just like sunlight rays
On a winter snow

Your eyes sparkle as the stars
Like the moon they glow
Your smile could light the world on fire
Or did you know?
Your mind's full of everything that
I want to know
I just had to let you know
I just had to tell you so
You're my butterfly
Fly high
Fly fly fly

Sister
Did you have to fall in love
With a man that was up to no good
He took your soul an he stole your only heart
Flipped your wig and left a permanent scar
Sister
Did you have to go away
You left your home
And the things you had to say
It didn't feel good to let you slide
I never got to say goodbye
I miss you girl I think I'm gonna cry
If they knock on your door you already gave
You don't need no more of what's ailing you
Just lean on your soul with all that it takes
May God bring back home to America
America
Sister
It's just a test of faith
Your heart is pure so the devil's in your face
I'll see you soon 'cause thy haven't got a case
You'll be free in a beautiful place
If the knock on your door you already gave

My life is perfect
Because I accept it as it is
The sunshine is shining
Because it is what it is
What a beautiful feeling it's bringing
All the birds in the sky are singing
Eleutheria the fire is burning
Eleutheria the tables are turning
A new day is dawning
Because it is time for a change
with new consciousness forming
There comes a new day
Oh we got to keep on trying
When the children are cold and alone and are crying
You got to understand
Eleutheria the bells are ringing
Eleutheria the people are singing
Eleutheria people are yearning
Eleutheria this world keeps on turning
Turning
What a beautiful feeling it's bringing
All the birds in the sky are singing
You got to understand
Eleutheris the fire is burning
Eleutheria the tables are turning
Eleutheria the bells are ringing
The people keep singing
The fire is burning
The tables are turning
Got to keep on
Keep on keeping on

| Rock And Roll Is Dead | |
| |
You think you're on top of the world
But you know it´s really over
Runnin' round with diamond rings
And coke spoons that are overflowin'
Rock an Roll is dead
But all the money in the world
Can't buy you from the place you're going to
Rock an Roll is dead
Rock an Roll is dead
Rock an Roll is dead
You can't even sing or play an instrument
So you just scream instead
You're living for an image
So you got five hundred women in your bed
Rock an Roll is dead
But it's real hard to be yourself
When you're living with those demons
In your head
Rock an Roll is dead
Rock an Roll is dead
Rock an Roll is dead

One day while I was searching
For what I'll never find
She walked into my story
Said she could change my mind
This is the final offer
She said to make it quick
Don't lose out on this wonder
So I had to place my bet
Welcome to the picture show
Watching your life
Never know which way to go
It might not be right
So you better be strong
What kind of circus is this?
What kind of fools are we?
When is the final curtain?
What can I do to set me free?
Welcome to the real world
You better be strong
Never know which way to go
It might end up wrong
So you better be strong
Too many games we have to play
They always change the rules
You and me just trying to get along
What can I do?
Got to be strong
She walked into my daydream
She told me how it had to be
Welcome to the picture show
Watching your life
Never know which way to go
It might not be right
Welcome to the real world
You got to be strong
Never know which way to go
It might end up wrong
Welcome to the picture show
It might end up wrong
So you better be strong
You got to be strong
You better be strong

Beyond the 7th sky
There's a room where we are with God
Beyond the sun and moon
Where the angels will be our guard
Where the weather doesn't change
Everday is summer
As the sands are numbered
Instead of cannonball grey
Do you think it's kinda strange?
Or can we be lovers?
As the spirit covers our electrified rage
Hold me mama
And we'll fly across the sea
Way beyond the moon and stars and sky
I'm talkin' bout you and God and I
Now that the time is near
I'm ready I have no fear
I know you're the one my dear
The stars will come out tonight
In time for our sacred flight
Together we'll be for life
And I will burn in your flame
Kiss me baby
Take my hand and come with me
I'm talkin' bout the moon and stars and sky
I'm talkin' bout you and God and I
Let's take it to the place where life was formed
And to the place where Jesus Christ was born

All I want
Is all you got
Make me happy baby
And I'll make it hot
I don't need no doctor
To tell me what to do
'Cause I know I'm goin'
Straight ahead for you
I got that tunnel vision goin' through my head
I can't helf myself all I see is red
Tunnel vision goin' through my head
Lay me down inside your flying bed
All that's yours
And all that's mine
We'll put together baby
And we can combine
We don't need no lawyer
Let's not make this long
We just need a love thing
That's beautiful and strong
I got that tunnel vision
Goin' through my head
I can't helf myself all I see is red
Tunnel vision goin' through my head
Lay me down inside your flying bed
Tunnel vision goin' through my head
I can't helf myself all I see is red
Tunnel vision goin' through my head
Lay me down inside your flying bed
Make it funky now etc.

| Can't Get You Off My Mind | |
| |
Life is just a lonely highway
I'm out here on the open road
I'm old enough to se behind me
But young enough to feel my soul
I don't wanna lose you baby
And I don't wanna be alone
Don't wanna live my days without you
But for now I've got to be without you
I've got a pocket full of money
And pocket full of keys that have no bounds
But then I think of lovin'
And I just can't get you off of my mind
Babe can't you see
That this is killing me
I don't want to push you baby
And I don't want you to be told
It's just that I can't breathe without you
Feel like I'm gonna lose control
I've got a pocket full of money oh yes I do
And a pocket full of keys that have no bounds
But when it comes to lovin'
I just can't get you off of my mind
Am I a fool to think that there's a little hope tell me baby
What are the rules the reasons and the do's and don'ts
Tell me baby tell me baby
What do you feel inside?
I've got a pocket full of money
And a pocket full of keys that have no bounds oh yeah
But when it comes down to lovin'
I just can't get you off of my mind
I just can't get you off of my mind

She was only seventeen
In her prime of life she was lean
And her only dream was to be on the silver screen
She hailed from north of Baltimore
Her mama says she'd end up a whore
And she spent up all her dough at the movie show
She's all go go go yeah yeah
She wears her pants on her hips too low
She learned it all in magazines
She's Magdalene
Ain't it funny how the sun shines?
She was only seventeen
She packed her bag and went to the scene
She said I'm gonna take on this town I'm gonna be the queen
She mingled like she'd been there before
She worked it till they hollered for more
Then she took off all her clothes
Now everbody knows
She's all go go go yeah yeah
She wears her pants on her hips too low
She learned it all in magazines
She's Magdalene
Ain't it funny how the sun shines?

| Thin Ice | |

You must be walking
On shaky ground
You're always jumping
At every sound
You've been a hustler for all your days
A real motherfucker in every day
When you're a loser you're all alone
So you made up for everything
That you thought you'd lost
But you paid a cost
Hey...
You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall
You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall
You're always running
With every game
First you're pushin' coke and then you're hoin' dames
You say you can't give nothing better back
Than you got back at home
Well I tell you that's bullshit brother
And that's heavy load
It's an illusion when you think you're the boss
Oh no no no
'Cause you really ain't got a thing
But the crumbs you're tossed
But don't you feel the frost
Hey..
You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall
You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall

Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
I'm gonna get it
But workin' nine to five just doesn't let it
I feel I'm wastin' time and I regret it
Can't even feed my kids and my wife
Oh I'm longing to find it
A taste of the sweeter life oh my
Only it takes a little time
(No don't do it)
Don't got and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Oh my oh my
Ain't got no credit
Can't even pay my rent
Where will I get it?
There's a liquor store right down the block I'll get it
Can't even feed the pain in my heart
Oh I'm longing to find
A piece of the bigger pie oh my
Only it takes a little time
(No don't do it)
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Oh my oh my oh my

| In My Life Today | |

When my memory starts to wander
I sit back and I ponder
How the whole world's gone asunder
I feel the rain and I hear the thunder
I was bare and I was lost
But you were there and now I'm born
You are the force and strength
In my life today
And oh how I thank you father
For giving us all over and under
You're a mystery you're a wonder
I always knew since I was younger
I think about the way that you make it right
So full of love and sacrifice
I say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
But you were right and I was wrong
'Cause I was weak but you were strong
You are the force and strength
In my life today
And now that the darkness has faded
I'm no longer blinded I can see
And I don't have to wait no longer
'Cause it's all about being free
Every day every way
I'm gonna get myself together
Every day every way
You are the force and strength
In my life today
You are the force and strength
In my life today
You are the force
And you are the force and strength
In my life today
You are the force
And your are the reign
You make me try to do right
And throw away my evil ways

If you could feel what I could feel
Well then you'd know his love is real
If you could hear what I could hear
Well then you'd know the kind is near
The resurrection is here to stay
And he's coming back again
The resurrection is here to stay
And he's coming back again
To reclaim all his souls and set us free
The resurrection is here to stay
That he's coming back again
Look waht he's done to me
Now I am living in another space and time
He walked on the righteous path
To keep us from Satan's wrath
We are not alone
And we're going home
The resurrection is here to stay
And he's coming back again
The resurrection is here to stay
That he's coming back again
To reclaim all his souls and set us free
The resurrection is here to stay
That he is coming back again
To reclaim all his souls

Haven't you heard it could be coming tonight
Just leave all your things and come and celebrate life
This time is for love, not for heartache and strife

The feeling so good and it's everywhere,
So come on along if you heart's feeling right,
Just open your wings it's a natural flight
You can do what you want, you can say I'm a fool,
And I'll see you in another life
See you in another life

He taught us of faith 'cause it's not about sight
He taught us of peace and unconditional love
He led us from wrong and forave us there of
He did all the things 'cause he wanted you
He died on that cross so you wouldn't have to,
And now all the worlds such a beautiful light,
Just open your eyes it's a beautiful sight
You can do what you want, you can say I'm a fool,
And I'll see you in another life

Tell me mama is your life a better change?
And tell me mama
Would you live your life the same or come back
And rearrange?
Tell me mama how is freedom?
Oh I’m thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
And I’m trying now
Oh I’m thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
Tell me mama
Are the colors deeper shades?
And tell me mama are there great big brass parades?
Does the sun shine night and day?
Tell me mama no more sleeping
Tell me mama no more weeping
Oh I’m thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
And I’m trying now
Oh I’m thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
Tell me mama is it just the way they say?
And tell me mama are you missing me the way
That I’m missing you today?
Tell me mama can you hear me?
Oh I’m thinking of you
And all the things that you wanted me to be
And I’m trying now
Oh I’m thinking of you

You can have it if you really want
You can grasp it if you have the thought
Feel your power that is deep within
Are you ready? On your mark begin
We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
We should take time out to really love
Do you feel your life’s a big mistake?
Don’t you hate the way it’s all so fake?
All I wanna do is just be real
And get off of the spinning wheel
All they sell us is a pack of lies
And we’re buying one in every size
Can’t you see it in the children’s eyes?
It’s about to get wild
We should take time out to really love
We should find out who we really are
We should take time out to really love

I wish that I could fly into the sky so very high
Just like a dragonfly
I’d fly above the trees over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
Let’s go and see the stars
The Milky Way or even Mars
Where it could just be ours
Let’s fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah

And that we should not carry on

But they’ll never know what you and I have
Call your mama
Call your papa
Call the preacher
Hold on hold on
Call your mama
Call your papa
Go on and call the preacher
Hold on hold on
All I want to do is take it all the way with you
It’s your life, it’s your life
They say that we don’t have a chance
We’re victims of unjust romance
But they couldn’t see the truth in their hands
We don’t have to live like they do
We’ll run away if we have to
And we’ll start a life that’s shining and new
Call your mama
Call your papa
Call the preacher
Hold on hold on
Call your mama

You’re not alone cause your heart’s my home
You are my biggest prize
So beautiful and so wise
All I want to do when I come into the room is see her smile
When I look in my little girl’s eyes
You make me feel alive

| You're My Flavor | |

The way you love me
Is like a needle in my vein
When you’re not around me
You know it just don’t feel the same
And I’ve waited a long time
Just to feel the way I do
Just give me the reason
And I will be all over you
’Cause you’re my flavor of love
You’re my flavor I’m dreaming of
You’re my flavor of love
You’re my flavor I’m dreaming of
The way you touch me
Somehow it takes away the pain
And now I’m a junkie
I’m running around without a brain
I got this jones deep inside me
And you are what I wanna do
You give me this feeling
You always make me feel brand new
’Cause you’re my flavor of love
You’re my flavor I’m dreaming of
You’re my flavor of love
You’re my flavor I’m dreaming of

| Can We Find A Reason | |
| |
Is there anyone out there willing to try?
Or we satisfied with just getting by?
We’ve hurt mother nature can’t you see her she’s crying
We’ve robbed and we’ve raped her and taken her child
And oh oh oh can we find a reason?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season?
We’re fighting more battles everyday we’re alive
We should be rejoicing but instead we cry
This world’s so polluted you would think we were blind
We poison our children before they’re defined
And oh oh oh can we find a reason?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season?
Excuse me for saying ’cause I’ve never been shy
But if we don’t stop this we sho’nuff goin’ die
Yes I hope we can make it ’cause this river’s run dry
Now our only battle will be to survive
And oh oh oh can we find a reason?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season?
It’s the New Millennium

| Without You | |

The sun is shining
But I don't feel the rays
The boats are sailing
But I don't want to play
I don't think I can make it
Without you
I don't think I can make it
Without you
I live life in luxury
But I believe it's a crime
When you can't enjoy it
And all the time cry
Or maybe some kind of spell
'Cause it feels like a curse
When there's so much water
But all the time thirst
I don't think I can make it
Without you
I don't think I can make it
Without you
My mind is a courthouse
My soul is a jail
My life is on death row
'Cause you are not there
I need a pardon
I can't stand the pain
What I'd do for your love now,
If there's love to regain
I don't think I can make it
Without you
I don't think I can make it
Without you
