::Random Act Of Love
Really touch somebody.
Really, really touch somebody.
With a random act of love.
VERSE 1
Everything we do with good intent
Won’t ever disappear, it only ripples into habit
Ever deep, cause it’s no accident
That you and i are here
And you and i were meant to happen
CHORUS
There’s one thing, that i know
That’s like a gift unto the giver
And that’s a random act of love
Everyday find a cause
And let it flow just like a river
Into a random act of love
VERSE 2
An open heart can change the world we know
Into a loving place
Reviving everything that’s givin’ in it
Every spark, another chance to grow
Let love illuminate
The place where light is dimming
CHORUS
There’s one thing, that i know
That’s like a gift unto the giver
And that’s a random act of love
Everyday find a cause
And let it flow just like a river
Into a random act of love
VERSE 3
One simple thing,
can really touch somebody
Make somebody smile inside
What joy it brings,
to really touch somebody
Love’s a win-win heart reliever,
As good for the giver as it is the receiver.
Really touch somebody with a random act of love
Really touch somebody with a random act of love
CHORUS X 2
Just one thing I know,
That's a gift to the giver
Just one thing I know,
Just, let it flow like a river
Just one thing I know,
Making life even better
One thing that I know,
Flip your script
CHORUS X
One thing that I know of love
Everyday……
They’re sayin’ stick the script.
But there’s more to the book, somehow.
Yellin’ on the corner just a waste of time,
They can never know the truth in that frame of mind.
Come spark the track with your gift.
God bless your grits bring it on now.
Cause you know there’s much more to the script.
Try to lift your spirits to the very tip.
And…
CHORUS:
Life is,
Worth much more to me
Than you could maybe never ever see.
See Life is,
Worth much more to me
Than you could ever…
The other day I was afraid of being hypnotized,
By so many people whose dreams won’t begin to be realized.
But I came to know,
The lessons they were told wasn’t really so.
But they kept tellin’ me,
Do all the things we do and you’ll be good to go.
See..
CHORUS X 1
You ain’t really drivin’ as long as you ridin’
with those who would steal your soul.
You’ve been crippled to pieces so dig what they preach
And don’t come with that hit no more.
I’m down for the cause I mean takin’ a pause,
Really live for the time we’re given.
Baby, can’t you hear the drum?
Now listen hear it comes,
It speaks of a life that’s worth living.
CHORUS X 2
Anybody tell me
Just what I’ve been doing wrong.
They say it’s not forever.
But forever’s less than too long.
Those doubts before
And tremblin’ at the door will fade.
When you learn to say, it’s…
CHORUS:
Never too late to fall in Love.
Just wait, you’ll find it.
Open the gate, you’re stronger now.
Just wait , just wait to fall in Love.
Many people tell me
There’s a mystery in this song.
When you hold your breath unending
Getting’ tired and weak you break down.
Hold on to you.
Your heart will know the truth one day.
When you learn to say, it’s…
CHORUS X 1
Turnin’ ice cold night into day.
These are the words I’ve been learnin’ to say,
Never too late.
CHORUS TO FADE
Heaven
(feels like heaven to me)
Heaven
(feels like heaven to me)
Get up in the morning and i see your smiling face
Feels like a dream
I’m wide awake
It’s just too good to be true
That’s what i’m thinking when i’m loving you
Lay down every evening and your by my side
Staight from above into my life
I pray the lord my love to keep
When we’re together i’m in ecstacy
Chorus:
girl you take my breath away
and if there was one word to say
What it’s like bein’ with you
I guess the word heaven, would have to do
And heaven’s where i wanna be
In heaven, there is love and peace
And you are all that i need, so plain to see
Just touchin’ me, feels like heaven to me
Feels like heaven to me,
Feels like heaven to me
Feels like heaven to me
Feels like heaven to me
Baby, you’re an angel,
And your love is so divine
Pure and supreme,
Gets better all the time
Your tender kiss, i can’t resist
Never thought nothin’ could feel like this
Maybe you could tell me somethin’ that i wanna know
Like how d’you get so far from home
A little bit of paradise
That’s what i’m seein’ shinin’ in your eyes
Chorus x 1
I can’t control the love i feel
(bg: i can’t control the way i feel
your love’s the highest high)
It's the highest high
(bg: if i could ever change a thing
don’t think i’d even try)
Oh, don't think i would try
(bg: cause this is pure, it’s love divine
and i know that this is real)
Cause i can see the change in me
By the way that you make me feel
Feels like heaven to me.
Feels like heaven to me.
Chorus x 1
Take my breath away
There’s just one word to say,
What it’s like bein’ with you
i guess the word heaven, would have to do
Heaven’s where i wanna be
In heaven, there is love and peace
And you are all that i need, it’s so plain to see
Just touchin’ me, feels like heaven to me
Feels like heaven to me.
Feels like heaven to me….
Dark cloud rollin' outside my window.
Thunder rumblin' in a minor key.
It made me remember my Mama, my Mama's smile
She said mind what you thinkin' and
There are places you should
And places you should not be
Workin' on fifth round down at Shelley's
Now if you shoot six the seventh one's free.
I can't be the last one to leave here again tonight.
I was lookin' at number seven when you
Walked in and brought a light
CHORUS:
I was in the wrong place at the right time
The devil had an arm around me,
But your sweet heart found me & I must 'a been prayin' right
I was in the wrong place at the right time, child.
You took a three time loser and you turned him around
Lost and found.
I don't mean to overglorify you
Or make you somethin' that you cannot be
But if you could do me just one favor would you child
Tell me what were you doin' in heaven before you dropped in
And rescued me.
CHORUS x 1
A heart recovered.
What a sight to see.
Would you believe what your love has done for me?
You were good to me.
Tell me what were you doin’ in heaven before you dropped in and rescued me?
CHORUS TO FADE
Somewhere out there,
Past the rainbow,
Beyond the moon and the stars,
We found Love.
Now it’s ours my Lady.
A gift to cherish.
Sent down from heaven above.
And I’m-I’m so thankful, baby.
That I’ve got you.
And I’m so glad- I don’t know why,
I deserve you baby.
I won’t question it.
I’ll just have faith, oh.
CHORUS:
I believe,
That we’ll never really figure out the mystery
That’s behind all of the joy we're feelin’.
I can see, that some things are beyond understanding.
These are the secrets of Love.
Secrets of Love.
Like a feather falling,
from the blue sky.
It twists and turns as it passes us by.
Somehow it found us.
Now we can hold it
And make a wing if we try.
And we’ll fly away baby.
No matter where the winds of fate will take us.
CHORUS X 1
And we’ll fly away baby.
No matter where the winds of fate will take us.
CHORUS X 1
You oughta get comfortable.
We gonna get busy.
Say good-bye to the late, to the great Mr. Nice Guy.
Do or die, I’m (gonna) open your eyes.
Start a wild, wild fire inside ya’ baby.
Undecided, heart divided.
Wonderin’ how should, you ask me how long.
You can fight it, but tonight it’s all about how strong.
CHORUS:
I’m gonna hit you with all I got.
Get ready,
All I got.
Touch your sky,
All I got.
You’ll be so pretty.
Church in the mornin’,
But for the moment it’s alright,
Yes, it’s on.
East or West, full of stress.
Troublin’ reaction.
I'll never rest,
‘til I get your request for some attraction
CHORUS 2:
I’m gonna hit ya with all I got.
I'm gonna hit you,all I got.
Close your eyes, all I got.
Can you imagine.
The radio be singin’, uh-huh, uh-huh.
All I got.
Be ready,
All I got.
Touch your sky,
All I got.
We’ll be shoulder to shoulder,
Over & over it’s alright,
Baby.
VAMP OUT:
Baby, baby, the talkin’ time is over.
Now we got to hurry to the real thang.
Didn’t we let the season go rollin’ right by.
What’ve we got to lose by givin’ it all we got.
We gonna come out the winner, believe it or not.
Just rally around the funk and say I love ya.
Baby!!
Goin’ in through the window, stayin’ through the summer.
Woe unto the woman that’s startin’ to doubt.
All I got.
All I got.
All I got.
All I got.
I want to know the places that you go when you’re all alone.
And I want to see all the secrets that you keep when you’re not with me.
And I’ll open the treasures of love deep in my heart.
CHORUS:
And I promise I’ll hold you close to me.
I’ll write you a song with words so sweet
And I’ll sing to you the melody,
‘Til you Love me.
Tell me your dreams
And every wish that I might grant for thee.
Open your heart and let me fill you up with everything you need.
And we’ll walk step by step, you and me in harmony.
CHORUS X 1
Show me the key
And I’ll write a symphony for you and me.
Words can’t explain how much your love means to me.
CHORUS X 3
Don’t talk about religion.
Someone says I gotta run.
Quicksilver wing express, compresses time.
They’ll put your keys and letters, in a capsule underground.
Your diaries and rosaries to find.
CHORUS:
Tell me, can you see it?
Would (won't) you run Johnny, run.
Tell them it’s easy (you’ll see it),
When your heart is light and young.
Stepchild to lead us,
The procession’s begun toward that bright white oasis in the sun.
Don’t talk about the weather.
Why the salmon didn’t run.
We’ll watch the children play, through filtered light.
The emerald green sequoias, just a statue made of bronze.
Like tapestries of dynasties gone by.
CHORUS X 2
Bright white oasis in the sun
In the sun…
Oh what a dream, Oh what a story.
Don’t have to weep, Come and enjoy a smile.
Opening scene is just like a doorway.
Here’s a story, in rhythm and rhyme.
There is a tree on the street and in the forest.
Lavender dream whispered a poet.
Bright potpourri. The envy of orchids,
When it’s dressed in a pink and fuchsia twine.
Jacaranda tree and the Bougainvillea vine.
Oh Mandela, that garden that you made,
Is a vision of the prayer, you must’ve been prayin’ everyday.
Sweet Azaleas, every color every kind.
And the first and the last are all divine.
There is a dream of the trees and of the flowers.
There is a season of peace at the borderline…
Where we’re redeemed and history will crown us.
Jacaranda tree and Bougainvillea vine.
Oh Mandela, would you say that it’s alright?
When the children play they always say, they say that we were like
Cinderella, in your garden there’s a shrine,
To the first and the last they’re all divine.
One and all, big and small, a common birth.
Each and every child for all his worth.
Take the one who’s always last and make him first.
Take these seeds. Seed the earth.
OUTRO:
Comin’ along,
Oh what a long way we have come.
Comin’ along,
Makin' a home for everyone.
Comin’ along, way down South in Africa
Look at (Study) the Jacaranda tree huggin’ the Bougainvillea
REPEAT OUTRO X 4
Do you wanna motor west?
Go my way, take the highway, that’s the best.
Get your kicks,
Route 66.
Winds from Chicago to L.A.,
More than 3,000 miles all the way.
Get your kicks on
Route 66.
Well it goes through St. Louis, Joplin, Missouri.
Oklahoma City looks might, mighty pretty.
See Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico.
Flagstaff Arizona, don’t forget Winona.
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino.
Won’t you get hip to this timely tip?
When you make your California trip,
Get your kicks on
Route 66.
(SCAT)
Won’t you get hip to this timely tip?
When you make your California trip,
Get, Get your kicks on
Route 66.
Stay alive on Route 95,
But get your kicks on Route 66.
I was down to the bone I was lonely only yesterday
Didn't know I was throwin my chances away
Then you came along just long enough to see
Far beyond the fool that I have come to be
CHORUS Just to be loved by you
It's like having all my sweetest dreams coming true
You showed me something I've never seen
You made me something I have never been before
Never before
I was always the one who would never give anything away
If all your feeling is cool there's not much to say
When the silence got too loud for me to bear
You brought me love and taught me how to care
CHORUS Just to be loved by you
It's like having all my sweetest dreams coming true
You showed me something I've never seen
You made me something I have never been before
Never before
(REPEAT CHORUS)
BRIDGE Cherish love when you use it
It's never gone they say
When you have it
It's only love, only love
CHORUS Just to be loved by you
It's like having all my sweetest dreams coming true
You showed me something I've never seen
You made me something I have never been before
Never before
Must have been that something you told me
Whispered just the other day
Said that you'd be leaving tomorrow
But there's got to be some other way
To bring you closer
Can we look closer
Would you stay with me
CHORUS Let me hold you
I can hold you longer
Let me feel you
'Til my heart is stronger
Let me love you
I can love you tenderly
I just can't believe that it's over
You looked at me and said goodbye
But deep inside my heart keeps on dreamin' baby
Cause there's still that look of love in your eye
When we were lovers
So close to each other
When our love was free
CHORUS Let me hold you
I can hold you longer
Let me feel you
'Til my heart is stronger
Let me love you
Yes, I can love you tenderly
So tenderly
Let me love you, tenderly
BRIDGE Love is patient
Love is a gift
Don't you know
All this time
I have been searchin
For a love land
Where we can live, together
Live forever
Live together
Live forever
Would you stay with me
CHORUS Let me hold you
I can hold you longer
Let me feel you
'Til my heart is stronger
Let me love you
I can love you tenderly
(REPEAT CHORUS 3x)

In my music 2x
In my music, lalala
Inspiration is everywhere
In my music, lalala

That breaks through my night
You are my bloodline
What would I do without you
Hey, I always knew
You'd be the one thing
Who I'd owe it all too
In my music, lalala

You'd be the one thing
Who I'd owe it all too (2x)
In my music (3x)
Come to me
Whenever you're in time of need
I won't melt away
Like a fair-weather friend
On me you can depend
If I may
I'd like to take this time to say
I'll be by your side
Til the sun grows dark
And the moon brings light of day
Oh it's me for you and you for me
That't how it's got to be
Though fainter hearts
May come and go
Here's one thing you'll always know
CHORUS Through it all
You can depend on me
When tears begin to fall
And I will chase the clouds away
Through it all
I will ease your pain
When sorrows comes to call
Oh, through it all
When you say
You've never been loved quiet this way
I have to smile
And take credit for being
The first to truly say
Oh through it all
A spirit that's brighter by far
Then all of the stars
That shine through the night
You glow with heaven's light
It's me for you and you for me
That't how it got to be
Though love affairs
May come and go
Here's one thing you always know
CHORUS Through it all
You can depend on me
When tears begin to fall
And I will chase the clouds away
Through it all
I will ease your pain
When sorrows comes to call
Through it all (2x)
No empty promises you can be sure
We've both been down this road
And this time it's so much more
So much more
Through it all (3x)
I will ease your pain
When sorrows comes to call
I will stop the rain
(I'll be here beside you)
(The pain and rain can't hide)
(I'll be here beside you)
(The pain and rain can't hide)
(I'll be here beside you)
(The pain and rain can't hide)
Chant: We need a think tank I'm thinking
We need a think tank I'm thinking
Verse 1: With tender smile, we bless a child
with love and light, and patron saint.
Don't let them cry, that we denied
tomorrow's child today.
Verse 2: The hurt, the need, to heal, to feed
They linger near the marketplace.
Will we deny, or compromise
tomorrow's child today?
Pre-chorus: La la la la la la la ley lu, La la lee lew-lay
Mama loves a mambo, Mama Papa sway
La la la la la la la ley lu, La la lee lew-lay
Mama Papa thinkin' 'bout tomorrow today
Verse 3: As rivers roar, the eagles soar
this ancient lore of rightful place.
Do we ignore, or save them for
Tomorrow's child today?
Pre-chorus: La la la la la la la ley lu, La la lee lew-lay
Mama loves a mambo, Mama Papa sway
La la la la la la la ley lu, La la lee lew-ay
Mama Papa thinkin' 'bout:

Tomorrow today---Is anybody thinkin' 'bout
Verse: Instrumental
Pre-chorus: La la la la la la la ley lu, La la lee lew-lay
Mama loves mambo, Mama Papa sway
La la la la la la la ley lu, La la lee lew-lay
Celebrate and think about:
Chorus: Tomorrow Today - Is anybody thinkin' 'bout
Tomorrow Today - Is anybody thinkin' 'bout
Thinkin' about the homeless - Is anybody thinkin' 'bout
Thinkin' about the joblessness - Is anybody thinkin' 'bout
Thinkin' about the children - Is anybody thinkin' 'bout
Thinkin' about the forest, yes - Is anybody thinkin' 'bout
So close and yet so smart
Head first before the heart
Ain't no shame
Ain't no game
With the flame
Coldwaters rush in March
No place for April flowers
Take her name
Say she came
With the flame
I've been told
When the stars all align
That even bitter lips like mine
Will call the moon a friend & kiss again
Some I'm told
Let their hearts read the signs
While other men are hungerin
And can't let it in
Be still my foolish heart
Please don't upset the cart
Stay the same
Ain't no game
With the flame
I've been told
I'll be dancin in time
Walkin rhythm talkin rhyme
The earth will turn and send the sun again
All my gold
For a light or a sign
Some kind of kin
To say my friend
Let it out - let it in
Strange fire down below
So 'fraid to let you know
Change my name
Start again
With the flame
Strange fire down below
So fraid to let you know
Change my name
Start again
With the flame
The flame (2x)
I clearly recall the moment
Your face, the rain n' paris.....a distant bell
Now inside my head i still recall the moment
There was something that you said...and now
Only now -- if somehow i were younger...
Nimble little fingers remember each melody....
Melodies and days that i adored...flower vases,
Cathedral doors.
So long to sailin'....safe by my door....
Sunny place inside....comforting's all paid for.
Too late for some change of mind...
Oh, how would i ever find me?
Through rain and crying you were saying....
Every heart is safe inside a place that
Makes and shapes the changings
Make the change...sail away beyond the wishing star..
Dreamers gettin' armor
Froze in the attitudes (altitudes)
Toasting the latitudes
Old empty platitudes...tossing, turning,
Freezing and burning
Comin' around, settlin' down,
Comin' around, settlin' down, comin' around
Ice cream and thunder...night beasts and butterflies
Most mornin's i'd settle for a little rain
I'll let it in and let it out, i'll blow it over....coda
Start all over again...makin' the bitter end a friend
Play that restless melody for me again
The one i've been, been so afraid of...my sweet friend.
Maybe the little refrain -will-whisper inside the rain
Again
Play the one with all the changes
Some lullabies for sleeping
A lullaby for weeping
And one to teach my heart to fight and win
Singing a sailin'....song
Sun song
Dawn song (and etc.)
Now inside my head i still recall the moment
There was something that you said...
I live inside the moment
Hearing something that you said....
How still inside the moment,
There was something that you said....
Remarkable and wonderful
This something that you said...
I thought about you, last night
About you, I thought about you (2x)
It's like they use to say
You'll never gonna survive
Unless you're just a little crazy
Jump right in the game of love
Start believin' in that someone
You can really trust
CHORUS: Last night
I thought about you
(And the miracles of things that you do)
Last night
I thought about you
(And everyday your ways, I'll thank you)
You're just the one for me
And I believe you'll never leave
Take care my heart and soul
Never left to take a full control
CHORUS: Last night
I thought about you
(And the miracles of things that you do)
Last night
I thought about you
(And everyday your ways, I'll thank you)
(REPEAT CHORUS)
You, you brighten my life
So many times
And believe me
I'm so satisfied
I know I'm sure
I found what I was lookin' for
CHORUS: Last night
I thought about you
(And the miracles of things that you do)
Last night
I thought about you
(And everyday your ways, I'll thank you)
Chorus: this one
That one
Each one
Is god's gift to the world
They are
We are
Each one
Is god's gift to the world
1st verse
There are no extra people
In a mansion or a ghetto
Each heart and soul is counted
Though they're different than you
So look across the ocean
See those on distant corners
Or see the one beside you
Look in their eyes and you'll know that it's true
2nd verse
And all the lonely people
The first ones and the last ones
All the great and small ones
The ones that win and lose
All of the remembered
Even the forgotten
From every single nation
You know it's true...for me and you
Chorus (repeats....)
Callin' all players, Don Juan, Romeo too
Don't you turn away, something I say
Could keep her faithful and true
Used to say, satin, silk and lace
Fascinate a pretty face
Bet you're life she'll stay
I was stunned, struck dumb y'all
Total strangers when she walked away, she told me
CHORUS: It's how you say it, it's all in how you play it
If it's a love I get to feeling it baby
It's how you move me, it's all in how you do me
If it's for real we make a melody down in my soul
Callin' all players, Don Juan, Romeo too
Please dont' turn away, everything I say
Is with affection for you
She's in pain, cause' when you hit and run
Like you're blind, deaf, and dumb, every dreams' undone
Only one way to hold her
Be for real before she walks away
CHORUS: It's how you say it, it's all in how you play it
If it's a love I get to feeling it baby
It's how you move me, it's all in how you do me
If it's for real I get a tickle down in my soul
It's how you say it, it's all in how you play it
If it's a love I get to feeling it baby
It's how you move me, it's all in how you do me
If it's for real I get a tickle in the middle
BRIDGE: Round and round, they all fall down
It's just a losing game when you break it down
(Let me just break it down)
CHORUS: It's how you say it, all in how you play it
If it's a love I get to feeling it baby
It's how you move me, it's all in how you do me
If it's for real I get a tickle down in my soul
(REPEAT CHORUS)
::Puddit (Put It Where You Want It)
Puddit it in your pocket
Puddit it in your shoe
Puddit it in your locket
In your kidney stew
Corner of your office
Floor boards of your car
BB King sure keeps 'em
In that blues guitar
No matter where you go
Whatever game you playin'
Never leave home without some
Put some in everyday
To keep it in your laughter
Twinkle in your eye
Up in all your rafters
Underneath your tie
Puddit in your chapel
Underneath the pew
All your kids in chapter
Skipin' back to school
No matter where you go
Whatever game you playin'
Don't you leave home without some
Puddit in everyday
When the people start to roar
We, come back for more
Puddit it in your pocket
Puddit it in your shoe
Puddit it in your locket
In your kidney stew
One more last suggestion
Teach 'em every move
When they pop the question
Tell 'em it's the groove
