Lonely, my life used to be lonely Lonely like the lonely single number one Lonely like a lonely sun Without a single iota to shine upon Crying, deep inside I was crying Like the muddy Mississippi, my tears flowed Carrying with it my lonely soul Leaving no 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 shine in my body Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you in my, my, my li-li-life I?m dancing to the rhythms of your love Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love Forever grateful for your love Money, oh how did I have money Enough to last me from 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 shine in my body Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you in my, my, my li-li-life I?m dancing to the rhythms of your love Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love Forever grateful for your sweet, sweet love I?m dancing to the rhythms of your love Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love Forever grateful for your sweet,sweet, love I?m dancing to the rhythms of your love Forever grateful for your love 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 Oh, was I lifted when I let God?s light shine in my body Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you in my, my, my li-li-life I?m dancing to the rhythms of your love Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love Giving all praises for your sweet, sweet love I?m dancing to the rhythms of your love Forever grateful for your love |

Everyone's feeling pretty
It's hotter than July Though the world's full of problems They couldn't touch us even if they tried From the park I hear rhythms Marley's hot on the box Tonight there will be a party On the corner at the end of the block Didn't know you Would be jammin' until the break of dawn I bet nobody ever told you that you would be jammin' until the break of dawn You would be jammin' and jammin' and jammin', jam on They want us to join their fighting But our answer today Is to let all our worries Like the breeze through our fingers slip away Peace has come to Zimbabwe Third World's right on the one Now's the time for celebration 'Cause we've only just begun Didn't know that you Would be jammin' until the break of dawn Bet you nobody ever told you that you Would be jammin' until the break of dawn You would be jammin' and jammin' and jammin', jam on Bet you nobody ever told you that you (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Would be jammin' until the break of dawn I know nobody told you that you (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Would be jammin' until the break of dawn We're jammin', jammin', jammin', jam on You ask me am I happy Well as matter of fact I can say that I'm ecstatic 'Cause we all just made a pact We've agreed to get together Joined as children in Jah When you're moving in the positive Your destination is the brightest star You didn't know that you (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Would be jammin' until the break of dawn I bet you nobody ever told you that you (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Would be jammin' until the break of dawn Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, you (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Would be jammin' until the break of dawn Don't you stop the music, oh no, (We're in the middle of the makin's of the master blaster jammin') Na, na na...

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 |

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 do do Hmm mm mm, do do do do do do Do do do, do do do do do do Hmm mm mm, do do do do do do 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 do do Hmm mm mm, do do do do do do do Do do do do do do, do do do do do do There's a ribbon in the sky for our love.. There's a ribbon in the sky for our love |

If it's magic...
Then why can't it be everlasting Like the sun that always shines Like the poets in this rhyme Like the galaxies in time If it's pleasing... Then why can't it be never leaving Like the day that never fails Like on seashores there are shells Like the time that always tells It holds the key to every heart Throughout the universe It fills you up without a bite And quenches every thirst So... If it's special Then with it why aren't we as careful As making sure we dress in style Posing pictures with a smile Keeping danger from a child It holds the key to every heart Throughout the universe It fills you up without a bite And quenches every thirst So... If it's magic... Why can't we make it everlasting Like the lifetime of the sun It will leave no heart undone For there's enough for everyone |

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 meals-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 |

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!

Living just enough... For the city... ooh, ooh (Repeat several times) His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty He spends his life walking the streets of New York City He's almost dead from breathing in 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, stop giving just enough for the city!!!!

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, Satchmo 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 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 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 |

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 From whippin' your behind I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days could ever have to go I wish those days could come back once more Why did those days ever have to go Cause I love them so Du du du dududu du du du du dududu Du du dudu du du du dudududu 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 hall You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right But while you were doin' it it sure felt outta sight |

You are the sunshine of my life
That'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?

Very superstitious, writing's 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. |

No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away No first of spring, no song to sing In fact here's just another ordinary day No April rain, no flower bloom No wedding saturday within the month of June But what it is something true Made up of these three words that I must say to you *I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I care I just called to say I love you And I mean it from the bottom of my heart No summer's high, no warm July No harvest moon to light one tender August night No autumn breeze, no falling leaves Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies No Libra sun, no Halloween No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring But what it is though old so new To fill your heart like no three words could ever do *Repeat |

All the gold in all 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 the 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 miniscule is any light If it can’t like you brighten up my soul And for your love I would do anything Just to see the 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 the smile upon your face For your love I would go anywhere Just you tell me and I’ll be right there (repeat 3 times) |
