Walk around, why wear a frown
Say little people, try to put you down
What you need, a helpin' hand
All the strength, at your command

How's ya faith? Cause ya faith is you
Who you kiddin', to yourself be true
Spread ya love, for a brighter day
For what ya search, you'll find a way

We are people, of the mighty
Mighty people of the sun
In our hearts lies all the answers
To the truth you can't run from

Eagle flies, every seven days
Still cryin the blues, all about ya pay
What ya gonna do? Bout your living thang
Will ya make it better, or just complain

Everday is real, don't run from fear
Cause better days are very near
There are times when you are bound to cry
One more time, head to the sky

We are people, of the mighty
Mighty people of the sun

To the truth you can't run from

Evil, runnin′ through our brain,

Bad blood through our body flows,
where′s the love nobody knows.

Beauty in our face you see,
tryin′ to hide all our misery, but
Evil, runnin′ through my brain,
me and evil are about the same.

Evil... in our life
Evil... causin′ strife

Lookin for a place to gild a little light
in our souls and minds
Maybe if we learn to pray
life would lend us sunshiny days.
And evil runnnin′ thru our brains
turn to love and won′t be the blame

Thru devotion, blessed are the children
Praise the teacher, that brings true love to many

and deliverance, from the fruits of evil.
So our mission, to bring a melody,
ringin' voices sing sweet harmony

For you here's a song, to make your day brighter.

Giving your heart the light to brighten.
All of the dark that falls in your way
You need devotion. bless the children
deliverance from the fruits of evil

In everyone's life, there's a need to be happy.
Let the sun shine, a smile your way.
Open your heart, feel a touch of devotion.
Maybe this song, will help uplift your day.

Make a better way
You need devotion

Master told me one day
I′d find peace in every way
But in search for the clue
Wrong things I was bound to do


Keep my head to the sky
For the clouds to tell me why
As I grew, and with strength
Master kept me as I repent
And he said


Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky


He gave me the will to be free
Purpose to live His reality
Hey, and I found myself never alone
Chances came to make me strong


To step right up and be a man
′Cause you need faith to understand
So we′re saying for you to hear
Keep your head in faith′s atmosphere


Keep your head to the sky
So the clouds
Keep your head to the sky
So they can tell you why, Lord
Keep your head to the sky
Surely, the clouds are gonna tell you why


Gave me the will to be free
Purpose to live His reality
Ooo, And I found myself never alone
′Cause chances came, they came to make me strong


Hey, to step right up and be a man
Ooo, you need faith to understand
So we′re just saying for you to hear
Keep your head in faith′s atmosphere


Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky
Don′t walk around with your head hung down
Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky
Surely, surely the coulds are gonna tell you why


Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky

When you wish upon a star,
Your dreams will take you very far.
But when you wish upon a dream,
Life ain′t always what it seems.
What′d you see, on night of clear,
In the sky so very dear?

You′re a shining star, no matter who you are.
Shining bright to see what you could truly be. (what you could truly be)

Shining star comes into view,
To shine its watchful light on you.
Gives you strength to carry on,
Makes your body big and strong.

Born a man-child of the sun
Saw the work had just begun
Found I had to stand alone.
Bless it now I′ve got my own.

So, if you find yourself in need,
Won′t you listen to these words of heed.
Be a giant or grain of sand.
Words of wisdom- Yes, I can.

You′re a shining star, no matter who you are.
Shining bright to see what you could truly be.
You′re a shining star, no matter who you are.
Shining bright to see what you could truly be.
You′re a shining star, no matter who you are.
Shining bright to see what you could truly be.

Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be
Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be
Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be

Hearts of fire creates love desire
Take you high and higher
to the world you belong
Hearts of fire creates love desire
High and higher to your place on the throne
We’ve come together on this special day
To sing our message loud and clear
Looking back we’ve touched on
sorrowful days
Future pass, they disappear
You will find peace of mind
If you look way down
in your heart and soul
Don't hesitate ‘cause the world seems cold
Stay young at heart
‘cause you’re never old at heart
That’s the way of the world
Plant your flower and you grow a pearl
A child is born with a heart of gold
The way of the world
makes his heart grow cold

Hearts of fire creates love desire
Take you high and higher
to the world you belong
Hearts of fire creates love desire
High and higher to you
Hearts of fire, love desire
higher
Came together on this special day
Sung our message loud and clear
Looking back we’ve touched on
sorrowful days
Future disappear
You will find peace of mind
If you look way down
in your heart and soul
Don't hesitate ‘cause the world seems cold
Stay young at heart
‘cause you’re never, never, never ...
That’s the way of the world
Plant your flower and you grow a pearl
A child is born with a heart of gold
The way of the world
makes his heart grow cold

Once upon a time, a child was born
With a light, to carry on,
Didn′t know what he had to be, had a feelin′
He was bound to see...

So the streets, he fled to shine
In a world of a different kind,
As he yearn, so he learn.

Stop! Look what′s behind you
Fame and love gonna find you
We′re just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do.

He just felt so, good inside
Watchin′ people come alive
Throbbin′ rhythm and it stirs your soul
Melodies of joy unfold...

Gives your heart such a special treat
Clap your hands, stomp your feet...
As we yearn, so we learn.

Stop! Look what′s behind you
Fame and love gonna find you
We′re just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do

We know it′s been time talking to you,
So we figure we lay it on you.
Let you know how we feel about, love.
Paint a pretty smile, each day
lovin, is a blessing,
never let it fade away.
It′s all about love

Build yourself a true romance,
There′s beauty that surround you
you deserve, just one more chance

My dear, my dear

Let the light snine, all through
your mind feel your little, heart a glow.
Take the time, make up your mind
It′s all about love

Talking to yourself is fine makes
you feel, much better,
know just where to draw the line

My dear, my dear

Bound to fall in love one day
surely and you need it,
pretty smile will always say
it′s all about love

We want to take this moment to run
down a couple of things about things
we see everyday.

Now, I want you to stop whatever you′re doing.
Just stop.
You know, they say there′ s beauty
in the eyes of the beholder
which I say is a natural fact, because,
You are as beautiful as your thoughts, right on.

You know, for instance, with us, we′ve studied
all kinds of sciences, and astrologies, and mysticism, and world religions
And so forth, you dig?
And like coming from a hip place, all these things help
′Cause they give you an insight into your inner self.
Have mercy!

Now. there′s an outer self we got to deal with
You know, the one that likes to go to parties,
The one that likes to dress up and be cool
and look pretty, all ego-trips and all this.

Hear you all, I′m trying to tell you,
you gotta love you. And love all the beautiful things around you,
trees and birds. And if there ain′t no beauty,
you got to make some beauty. Have mercy
Listen to me, hear me all

Now, I′m craving your body,
is this real
Temperatures rising, I don′t want to feel
I′m in the wrong place to be real
Woahh and I′m; longing to love you
just for a night,
Kissing and hugging and holding you tight
Please let me love you
with all my might

Reasons, the reasons that we hear,
The reasons that we fear
our feelings a-won′t disappear

Oooh! And- after the love game has been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade

(Layering Chorus)
LA-LA-LA-ETC
After all our reasons why
All the reasons were a lie
After all the reasons lo-ove was ne′er decide

And, longing to love you for one night
Please let me love you with all of my might, baaaaby
OOOHHH, Baby!

Reasons, the reasons that we hear,
The reasons that we fear
our feelings a-won′t disappear

Oooh! And after the love games have been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade

And, in the morning when I rise,
no longer feeling hynotized
For no reasons, our reasons, our reasons
have no pri-ii-de

(Layering Chorus)
LA-LA-LA-ETC
After all the reasons why
All of the reasons were a lie
After all the reasons lo-ove was ne′er decide

(Phillips last solo) Heeehhhhh, Ooooh, yeaahhh, Oohhh Baby,
I can′t find the reasons
That my love won′t disappear
Can′t find the reasons
Why I love you ,my baby, my dear
Can′t find the reasons
Wanna love you all night
Can′t find the reasons
Gotta squeeze ya, real tight
Can′t find the reasons
Baby- yeah,
For my tears
Can′t find the reasons
Why I love ya....(fade to black)

You want my love and you can't deny
you know it's true, but you try to hide, yeah
You turn down love like it's really bad, ow
You can't give what you never had, yeah
Well bless your soul, you can fool a few, ha ha
Ah, I know the truth now so do you, how how

(You can't hide, I betcha, hoo,)

Ah (several verses in harmony)
{fade}

So you say you tried
But you just can′t find the pleasure
People around you givin′ you pressure
Try to resist all the hurt that′s all
Around you
If you taste it, it will haunt you

So come, take me by the hand,
We′ll leave this troubled land
I know we can, I know we can, I know we can, I know we can
Getaway

Watch for the signs
That lead in the right direction
Not to heed them is a bad reflection
They′ll show you the way
Into what you have been seeking
To ignore them you′re only cheating

So come, take me by the hand,
We′ll leave this troubled land
I know we can getaway
Getaway

Lay awake every night
Till the sun comes up in the morning
Nothing exciting, it all seems boring
Make up your mind which way to go about it
To your road, you just don′t doubt it.

So come, take me by the hand,
We′ll leave this troubled land
I know we can, I know we can, I know we can, I kno

It was Saturday nite, the moon was bright
Shining down, it′s harvest light
Music all around to hear, set the stage
And atmosphere--many dress to suit
Their taste, participate in the ego race
Tonite′s the night, for you to be
Biggest man in history

Saturday nite′s your curtain call
You found your place after all
I saw a face in the crowd
Sayin′ nothin′, yet talking loud

Life is just a day
Living games we play
London Bridge is fallin′ down
Do what Simon says
Doing what you feel,
Games can be unreal
Humpty-Dumpty when you fall
There be no one here to call
Life is stil your mystery
You see, you see, you see

Many friends, who gather ′round
In hope, to feel safe and sound
We emphasize, to make it clear
Our stumbling nations atmosphere
While looking thru the looking glass
Our vision show, a stormy past
When you gonna wake, and see the sun--
Stop wasting time and having fun

Life is just a day
Daily games we play
London Bridge has fallen down
You did what Simon said
Doing what you feel
Games are so unreal
Humpty-Dumpty why′d you fall
You see there′s no one here to call
Now we′ve solved this mystery
You see, you see, you see

Father, open our eyes, that we
may see, to follow thee. Oh lord
grant us, thy lovin′ peace, and let
all dissension cease. Let our fait,
each day increase,
and Master - Lord please-
Open our eyes, open our eyes-

He has given us, hills and mountains, he
has given us, level places.
He has given us food and clothing,
given us shelter from the storm and the rain-
And all that he provided,
kept us shelter from the storm and the rain-

Grant us thy lovin′ peace,
and let all dissension cease,
let our faith each day increase,
and Master - Lord please
Open our eyes, open our eyes

Got to get you into my life, into my life
Got to get you into my life, into my life
Got to get you into my life, into my life
Got to get you into my life, into my life
Got to get you into my life, into my life

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there.
Another road where maybe
I could see another sign there.
Ooh, then I suddenly see you.
Ooh, and did I tell you I need you
Ev'ry single day of my life?

You didn't run, you didn't lie
You know I want to hold you.
And had you gone you knew in time
We'd meet again for I had told you.
Ooh, you were meant to be near me.
Ooh, I really want for you to hear me
Say we'll be together ev'ry day.

Got to get you into my life.
Got to get you in, got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

Ooh, then I suddenly see you.
Ooh, and did I tell you that I need you
Ev'ry single day of my life?

Got to get you into my life.
Got to get you in, got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

Got to get you in, got to get you in
Got to get you in, got to get you in
Into my life
Got to get you into my life

Do you remember, the 21st night of September
Love was changing the minds
Pretender, while chasing the clouds away
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

*(Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya- never was a cloudy day)*

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to say
Now December, found the love that we shared in September
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the love we share today

GO TO *( )*

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya- golden dreams were shiny days

When I see you′re face like the mornin sun you spark me to shine
Tell all the world, my need is fulfilled and that′s a new design
As long as you′re near, there is no fear of a victory
But when I′m away, influences stray my mind to disagree
I wanna see your face in the morning sun ignite my energy
The cause and effect of you has brought new meaning in my life to me

Gonna tell a story morning glory all about the serpentine fire
Gonna tell a story morning glory all about the serpentine fire

oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah, oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
I need to see your face like the morning sun ignite my energy
The cause and effect of you has brought new meaning in my life to me
The moments I find when I′m inclined to do my best
Negative wins when I give in and then I lose the test (not many times)

Gonna tell a story morning glory all about the serpentine fire
Surely as life begun, you will as one battle with the serpentine fire

oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah, oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Surely as life begun, you will as one battle with the serpentine fire
Surely as life begun, you will as one battle with the serpentine fire
Gonna tell a story morning glory all about the serpentine fire

Every man has a place, in his heart there′s a space,
and the world can′t erase his fantasies
Take a ride in the sky, on our ship fantasii
all your dreams will come true, right away

And we will live together, until the twelfth of never
our voices will ring forever, as one

Every thought is a dream, rushing by in a stream,
bringing life to THE kingdom of doing
Take a ride in the sky, on our ship fantasii
all your dreams will come true, miles away

Our voices will ring together until the twelfth of never,
we all, will live LOVE forever, as one

Come see victory, in the land called fantasy
loving life, a new decree,
bring your mind to everlasting liberty

As one

Come to see, victory in a land called fantasy,
loving life, for you and me, to behold, to your soul is ecstasy
You will find, other kind, that has been in search OF you,
many lives has brought you to
recognize it′s your life, now in review
and as you stay for the play, fantasy, has in store for you,
a glowing light will see you through

It′s your day, shining day, all your dreams come true
As you glide, in your stride with the wind, as you fly away
give a smile, from your lips, and say
I am free, yes I′m free, now I′m on my way

Come to see, victory in a land called fantasy,
Loving life, for you and me, to behold, to your soul is ecstasy
You will find other kind, that has been in search of you,
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize it′s your life now in review

I thirst but never quench
I know the consequence, feeling as I do
We're in a spinning top
where, tell me, will it stop
and what am I to say
Open our music book, that only few can look
and I'll write a song for you

Love is a symphony, hearts in one melody
'Cause I write a song for you
Sounds never dissipate, they only recreate
in another place
There in your silent night
joy of a song's delight
I write a song for you
You write a song for me
We write a song for love

My magical mystique, finding it all complete
in a lovely face, feeling we try to chase
memories that won't erase, stay forever new
We have a magic box in which is never locked

I found that love, provides
The key-unlocks, the heart and souls, of you and me
Love will love, to sing your song,
Love is written in the stone

Every man, I meet is walking time
Free to wander, past his conscious mind,
Love will come, and take you home
Love is written, in the stone
Do you believe, my friend, in what you claim, people of the world
All doubt the same-bringing questions
Of their own-truth is written,
In the stone

In the stone, you′ll find the meaning
Why you′re not standing tall
In the stone
The light is shining, forever touching all

Life experience a passing day
Time will witness, what the ole
Folks say-getting stronger every day
-Strength is written in the stone
Deep inside, our hearts for us
To keep-lies a spark of light that
Never sleeps
The greatest, you′ve ever known
Yea is written
In the stone

In the stone, you′ll find the meaning
Why you′re not standing tall
In the stone
The light is shining, forever touching all
Never, never my darling, never you′ll
Be alone-Forever, ever my darling
True love is written in the stone

Love that is born in truth, all
The doubt removed--lover's eyes
Are blessed only sees the best--

I can't let go, of a love that
Grows, you're my woman. Baby love
You know I love you, so

Empty hearts are free, bring,
Your love to me--soul chase the moon
Shadows, hug the room--turn off the
Light and sneak in bed at night--
Darkness shut its eyes, Baby, I
Open mine to you

I can't let go, of a love that
Grows, you're my woman, baby love
You know I love you so

For awhile to love was all we could do
we were young and we knew
and our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For awhile we paid no mind to the past
we knew love would last
Ev'ry night somethin' right
would invite us to begin the dance

Somethin' happened along the way
what used to be happy was sad
Somethin' happened along the way
and yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
how could you lead me on
and not let me stay around
Oh oh oh afterthe love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

For awhile to love each other with aw
we would ever need
Love was strong for so long
never knew that what was
wrong oh baby wasn't right
We tried to find what we had
till sadness was all we shared
We were scared this affair would lead our love into
Somethin' happened along the way
yesterday was all we had
Somethin' happened along the way
what used to be happy is sad

Somethin' happened along the way
oh yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
how could you lead me on
and not let me stay around
Oh oh oh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

Oh oh oh oh oh oh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

Oh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh woh woh
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

Woh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Woh woh woh

I′ve been waiting so long,
Just watching the phone, for you.
To wait, it takes,
Love that′s for real
And all, that I feel, inside to do.

I come prepared, to look in your eyes
And walk side by side,
With you--baby, baby.

Listen for tender words, I′d like to say
Like I love you today, and I′ll wait
For you.

Chorus
It′s crazy, if you think, we′re just friends.
Loving when, infatuation ends.
The wait for you, baby it now begins

You sigh, when I come close to your heart
You cry, from the start
Please wait for me
Your mind, shows, places you go
And things you don′t know
Someday you′ll grow

Climbing a moutain high
Your love I desire
Inside my heart cries for you

Chorus

Baby, we′re more, than friends
I know, the wait will end

Baby, here we are,
Waiting here for time, to play the game
Let love steal us away.

Baby here I am, holding charts
To guide us through the storm,
To a brighter day

You and I will be together,
Many lessons, learned Oh Baby.
From a past, that′s lived too many lies.
Yesterday is gone forever there′s tomorrow,
All that I can see

Chorus
You and I living together
Just, you and I groovin′ forever

Trusting every word,
Just to mean, what has been handed down,
In time.
We′ve known hurt before.

Masters of my dreams,
Create a place to feel this love of mine
And never hurt no more

Chorus

We must trust the dark,
For showing us the stars.
We must trust the rain,
And open up our hearts.

Chorus
Just, you and I living together.
You and I groovin′ forever

Fifty million voices mumbling from the street
Talking about the 80′s and who it will mistreat
Now, Joseph Worken Hardy, checkin′ out the jive
Glancing at his pocketbook, inflation is alive

I stand tall, let me talk
I stand tall, let me talk

Miss Sophisticated, your nose up in the air
Trying to find excitement, in the labels that you wear
Now, I may disappoint you, with the thins I say
But deep inside, a message burns withing me everyday

I stand tall, let me talk
I stand tall, let me talk

We′re all the same, with different names
Will you play your role, just as you′re told

Let me talk, let me talk, let me talk, let me talk

Won′t you come on down, put your feet on the ground
Get in touch with you, let your love come thru

World automotives chase the Arab wheel
Partnerships on nuclear, trying to make a deal
Where does it all lead to
I′m sure the question flows,
Thru many minds around the world
I′m sure nobody knows

I stand tall, let me talk
I stand tall, let me talk

I stand tall, let me talk
I stand tall, let me talk

I would be so willing to give you all I got
You′re a special lady, forget me not
I could be so tender, for the likes of you
Let my heart surrender
And love goes on
On and on
Your heart beats strong
As love goes on
Everyday, I′m wishing for that day to come
Feeling superstitious hoping she′s the one
One day I′m lonely, next with plenty smiles
Love I find amusing
And love goes on
On and on
Your heart beats strong
As love goes on
Oh, oh, oh, and if we can′t work it out
you should know, without a doubt
I will always be the one you can turn to
A friend until the end, no matter where we′ve been
Sometimes you can′t hold on
You got to give it space – yea yea
And love goes on
On and on
Your heart beats strong
As love goes on
Baby we can work it out
Yes I really love you, and without a doubt
I can make you happy,
plant good memory that will last forever
And love goes on
On and on
Your heart beats strong
As love goes on
Love so tender
And with you in mind
Now my heart surrendered
Just to make you mine
Baby baby baby
what you gonna do
give your heart to me
I′ll give my heart to you
And love goes on
On and on
Your heart beats strong
As love goes on

She was naive, and never knew
Back against the world--her dreams came true
There is a mirror in her eyes,
all the world with cherry painted skies
I would be a fool, not to notice who,
can make me want to give it all
Oh, and now, I′m a happy soul
that love has got a hold
And I know that love won′t let me fall

You--light the way, you brighten up my day
You make me want to stay,
I guess you know that I′m in love with you
It′s true, you changed my point of view,
and now I look at life, the way you do,
with a beauty shining thru

When I am true with my dreams
life is so sincere, in what it means
I am truly hypnotized--with a love
that took me by surprise
I would be a fool, not to notice who,
can make me want to give it all
Oh and now, love is so profound.
I need your love around to open yp,
this lonely heart

You--light the way, you brighten up my day
You make me want to stay,
I guess you know that I′m in love with you
It′s true, you changed my point of view,
and now I look at life, the way you do,
with a beauty shining thru

You-light the way, you brighten up my day
You make me want to stay,
I guess you know that I′m in love with you
It′s true, you changed my point of view,
You make it all seem right,
I′d love to share my life, with you

Let this groove, get you to move,
it's alright, alright
let this groove, set in your shoes,
stand up, alright

Gonna tell you what you can do,
with my love, alright
Let you know girl you're looking good
you're out of sight and alright

Move yourself and glide like a 747
loos yourself in the sky among the clouds in the heavens

Let this groove, light up your fuse, alright
Let this groove, set in your shoes

stand up, alright
Let me tell you what you can do
with my love, alright

Gotta let you know girl you're looking good
you're out of sight, you're alright

Tell the DJ to play your favorite tune
then you know it's okay
What you found is happiness, now

Let this groove, get you to move, alright
Let this groove set in your shoes
stand up, alright

You will find peace of mind on the floor
Take a little time, come and see, you and me
make a little sign, I'll be there after a while
if you want my love

We can boogie on down, down, down, down
Let's groove tonight
share the spice of life
baby slice it right
we're gonna groove tonight

I can tell you that love
Is too deep to be played on
Down the line, you′d find
Time would reveal who to count on
I′m well inclined to use the lines
That comes from the learning tree
Let the seed that grows, and ages old
Give us our destiny

Baby, you know, I could pick you up
Turn your life around
If you fall in love with me
I would build you up, never let you down
If you fall in love with me

If you′re having second thoughts from the past
I can cool you out
I′ve been there before, right down to the core
I can sing and shout
I can′t hold back what I feel
I bring experience
I′ll be your rock when Gibraltar falls
Baby, give me a cause

Baby, you know, I could pick you up
Turn your life around
If you fall in love with me
I would build you up, never let you down
If you fall in love with me
Baby, in love with me, find yourself a part of me
Baby, in love with me, help yourself to all of me

I′ve got your number and I wanna shout
I dig you baby, come and check me out

One year ago, love was touch and go
Time made me see, solved the mystery
Taught me that love and time
Will change your mind and make it right
Bring your darkness to the light
My hearts sings in the night
My love I bring to you

With this lovin′ I dedicate to you
For believing in me, I will make you mine
Side by side, for love we waited
Side by side, we′re dedicated
Side by side, now we can make it
Side by side, we gonna shake it on down
Get down, get down , get down, get down,
tonight

I can hardly wait, to pick you up at eight
For this rendezvous, candlelight and you
It took ma a long time, to see it clear
That love will last, for many years
Dreams can come true
So I bring my heart to you

With this lovin′ I dedicate to you
For believing in me, I will make you mine
Side by side, for love we waited
Side by side, we′re dedicated
Side by side, now we can make it
Side by side, we gonna shake it on down
Get down, get down , get down, get down,
tonight

We finally found our sunny day
And your love lights up the way
So, I thank you today, for
You believed in me

Dance boogie wonderland
dance boogie wonderland
Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts,
of men who need more than they get
daylight deals a bad hand,
to a woman who has laid too many bets

The mirror stares you in the face and says
'baby, uh uh it don't work'
you say your prayers though you don't care
you dance and shake the hurt
dance boogie wonderland
dance boogie wonderland

Sound fly through the night
I chase my vinyl dreams to boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland

All the love in the world can't be gone
all the need to be loved can't be wrong
All the records are playing
and my heart keeps saying
'boogie wonderland, wonderland'
dance boogie wonderland
dance boogie wonderland

All the love in the world can't be gone
all the need to be loved can't be wrong
All the records are playing
and my heart keeps saying
'boogie wonderland, wonderland'
dance boogie wonderland

Dance boogie wonderland

Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts,
of men who need more than they get
daylight deals a bad hand,

you dance and shake the hurt

Do you remember, the 21st night of September
Love was changing the minds
Pretender, while chasing the clouds away
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

*(Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya- never was a cloudy day)*

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to say
Now December, found the love that we shared in September
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the love we share today

GO TO *( )*

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya- golden dreams were shiny days

Fifty million voices mumbling from the street
Talking about the 80′s and who it will mistreat
Now, Joseph Worken Hardy, checkin′ out the jive
Glancing at his pocketbook, inflation is alive

I stand tall, let me talk
I stand tall, let me talk

Miss Sophisticated, your nose up in the air
Trying to find excitement, in the labels that you wear
Now, I may disappoint you, with the thins I say
But deep inside, a message burns withing me everyday

I stand tall, let me talk
I stand tall, let me talk

We′re all the same, with different names
Will you play your role, just as you′re told

Let me talk, let me talk, let me talk, let me talk

Won′t you come on down, put your feet on the ground
Get in touch with you, let your love come thru

World automotives chase the Arab wheel
Partnerships on nuclear, trying to make a deal
Where does it all lead to
I′m sure the question flows,
Thru many minds around the world
I′m sure nobody knows

I stand tall, let me talk
I stand tall, let me talk

I stand tall, let me talk
I stand tall, let me talk

I can tell you that love
Is too deep to be played on
Down the line, you′d find
Time would reveal who to count on
I′m well inclined to use the lines
That comes from the learning tree
Let the seed that grows, and ages old
Give us our destiny

Baby, you know, I could pick you up
Turn your life around
If you fall in love with me
I would build you up, never let you down
If you fall in love with me

If you′re having second thoughts from the past
I can cool you out
I′ve been there before, right down to the core
I can sing and shout
I can′t hold back what I feel
I bring experience
I′ll be your rock when Gibraltar falls
Baby, give me a cause

Baby, you know, I could pick you up
Turn your life around
If you fall in love with me
I would build you up, never let you down
If you fall in love with me
Baby, in love with me, find yourself a part of me
Baby, in love with me, help yourself to all of me

I′ve got your number and I wanna shout
I dig you baby, come and check me out

The Human Race is runnin' over me
I punch a clock at 9 and 5
Just tryin' to make a livin'
A plastic face on satellite TV
Says, "Life is filled with give and take"
He's takin' and I'm givin
So I dance

(Hook)
It's my system of survival (SOS)
I'm dancin'
System of survival (SOS)
It's a system of survival
Future revival
Greet the new arrival

(Bridge)
At times it's the only way
I'm gonna make it through this day

(Chorus)
Everybody get up
Do your dance
Keep survivin'
Everybody get up
Do your dance
Stay alive

A city night
I walk a street in fear
While politicians brag about
A paperwork solution

Another life
I shed another tear
I'm waiting for somebody new
To lead the revolution
So I dance

(Hook)
It's my system of survival...
(Repeat Hook and Chorus)
(SOS) Send it out
Send it out, send it out, send it out

Not to say that I'm a matchmaker
But when it comes to you
You met your match

You're inclined to leave me fascinated
By the things you do
My Baby Dance

You can bet your bottom dollar honey
I'll be with you through thick and thin

I would love to give a testimony
'Bout the way you are, you're my best friend

I've been thinking of you
Got me wondering what would I do
Got me thinking I'll be true
Got me wondering I'm thinking of you
You're the one that makes my love light shine
Every time, morning till night

It's your sentimental way you show
The kind of love you give
Makes it allright

What you give is extraordinary
It's a way of life, I like to live

I could be with you forever,
'Cause lovin', gives me a thrill

Girl, I appreciate
The love we generate
You keep me, satisfied
Just the sun, that shines
Deep in this heart of mine
Your love shining through

Do you remember, the 21st night of September
Love was changing the minds

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing

Ba de ya - say do you remember

Ba de ya- golden dreams were shiny days

Now, I′m craving your body,
is this real
Temperatures rising, I don′t want to feel
I′m in the wrong place to be real
Woahh and I′m; longing to love you
just for a night,
Kissing and hugging and holding you tight
Please let me love you
with all my might

Reasons, the reasons that we hear,
The reasons that we fear
our feelings a-won′t disappear

Oooh! And- after the love game has been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade

(Layering Chorus)
LA-LA-LA-ETC
After all our reasons why
All the reasons were a lie
After all the reasons lo-ove was ne′er decide

And, longing to love you for one night
Please let me love you with all of my might, baaaaby
OOOHHH, Baby!

Reasons, the reasons that we hear,
The reasons that we fear
our feelings a-won′t disappear

Oooh! And after the love games have been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade

And, in the morning when I rise,
no longer feeling hynotized
For no reasons, our reasons, our reasons
have no pri-ii-de

(Layering Chorus)
LA-LA-LA-ETC
After all the reasons why
All of the reasons were a lie
After all the reasons lo-ove was ne′er decide

(Phillips last solo) Heeehhhhh, Ooooh, yeaahhh, Oohhh Baby,
I can′t find the reasons
That my love won′t disappear
Can′t find the reasons
Why I love you ,my baby, my dear
Can′t find the reasons
Wanna love you all night
Can′t find the reasons
Gotta squeeze ya, real tight
Can′t find the reasons
Baby- yeah,
For my tears
Can′t find the reasons
Why I love ya....(fade to black)

Getting down, there's a party in motion
Everybody's on the scene
And I can hear the sound, like the roar of the ocean
As it rushes to the stream

Live it up, don't ya hear people screaming
Gotta do it all their way
Until they burn it up and the lights nowhere gleaming
What a price you have to pay

Why do we feel whe have to feed the fire
We're only caught up in our desire, ooh

I've had enough, it's just too tough
To keep it up, so I am calling out to you
To lift us up, the world is rough
I am so tired and I've had enough

Spinning' round in perpetual motion
Like a crystal ball of dreams
And moving in the crowd, there's a hint of a notion
That you never will be seen

Slow it down, feel some emotion
'Cause there's nothing in between
Reaching that higher ground, but your faith and devotion
To be on the winning team

Why do we feel we have to feed the fire
We're only caught up in our own desire, ooh

I've had enough, it's just too tough
To keep it up, so I am calling out to you
To lift us up, the world is rough
I am so tired and I've had enough

For awhile to love was all we could do
we were young and we knew
and our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For awhile we paid no mind to the past
we knew love would last
Ev'ry night somethin' right
would invite us to begin the dance

Somethin' happened along the way
what used to be happy was sad
Somethin' happened along the way
and yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
how could you lead me on
and not let me stay around
Oh oh oh afterthe love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

For awhile to love each other with aw
we would ever need
Love was strong for so long
never knew that what was
wrong oh baby wasn't right
We tried to find what we had
till sadness was all we shared
We were scared this affair would lead our love into
Somethin' happened along the way
yesterday was all we had
Somethin' happened along the way
what used to be happy is sad

Somethin' happened along the way
oh yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
how could you lead me on
and not let me stay around
Oh oh oh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

Oh oh oh oh oh oh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

Oh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh woh woh
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

Woh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Woh woh woh
