All my life I've tried to please
Disregarding my own needs
Now it's time for me to be free!

Can't nobody be you
God made everybody just the way that He wanted to!
Verse 2
I'm not trying to separate
I just want to celebrate
The ending of the sublimation… of my soul!

Verse 1
Lemme tell a story 'bout an old man and woman I know
They were in the desert so dry, diggin' ditches…deep
Waitin' for the rain to flow
Well, the people came from miles around
Wantin' to know why they did what they did and how
"Faith is the key" he said, "to what can't yet be seen"
Then he looked at the sky, winked at his wife and said,
"That's why baby, baby, baby…"

Make me sing in the morning
Make me smile at night
Laugh for no particular reason
Just 'cause everything's alright!

No doubt about it, there's a higher power working in here!
There's a way to anything, anytime, anyway and anywhere
But it won't work if there's fear
If we put our trust in what we feel
Instead of what we think in our heads, hmm
Then we'll remember to keep it real
So the soul will be nourished and the spirit is fed!
Baby, baby, baby, baby

I'm so satisfied
I know that this joy can't be denied!
Make me sing in the morning
Make me smile at night
Laugh for no particular reason

Everything is everything anyway!

Make me sing in the morning
Make me smile at night
Laugh for no particular reason
Just 'cause everything's alright!

'tween the forces
I'd rather be with Light, satisfied!

1st Verse
The summer is almost over and I haven’t met him yet
I sit here all alone, right by the phone

When I know we’ve got the real affair!
And even tho’…

1st Verse
Don't ask, what am I gonna do
'Cause it hasn't even started sinking in
Need time, time to think it through
How am I supposed to know where I begin?
Suddenly, I'm alone here
Loving me isn't in your plans
Yesterday you were mine
And my heart was in your hands

That one day you'd be leaving
Could've fooled me
I was so secure
Confident and sure we were meant to be
You could've fooled me

So sad, I'm the last to know
Would've bet my life we were going all the way
It's too bad you didn't let me go

My father and I don't get along
He's always right, I'm always wrong
We never talk…he'd rather hide
Preening his pride and pruning mine

Not for your woman, you got nothin' for your kids
It's too late, there's nothing left to hide
So you go your way, and I'll go mine
Bridge
I tried to talk to him, to go beyond the insults and lies
Depending on the love to keep the family alive
He said, "I don't wanna talk on account of the pressure of my blood"
I said, "Can't we talk on account of love "
"I'm reaching out to you"
He said, "Don't reach out to me"
"But I love you! I love you! Dad…don't you love me?"
He stared straight ahead at the basketball game on his precious TV
And he never even opened his mouth…
He never even opened his mouth to me…and now

It's too late, there's nothing left to give
Not for your woman, you got nothin' for your kids

So you go your way, and I'll go mine
You go your way, you go your way…
…And I'll go mine.

Where is the God in your life?!!

How can we heal the wounds of the world
If we cannot heal our own?
And where does this peace on earth begin

::You Don’t Know What Love Is
You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your coin and you have lost
You don't know what love is
Do you know how lost I've been
At the thought of reminiscing
And how lips that taste the tears
They lose their taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced the dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is
::Bye Bye Blackbird
Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go singing low
Bye bye blackbird
Where somebody waits for me, sugar's sweet and so is he
Bye bye blackbird
No one here can love and understand love me
Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
I'll pack my bag and light the light
I'll arrive home late tonight
Blackbird…bye bye
::Prayer Dance
Lift my knees from the ground
I will put my feet down
I will dance all my prayers
Unto God
With a swing and a sway
I will do it my way
That's why I dance all my prayers
Unto God
Do I stand for peace and love?
Yes I will...express myself to God in my dance
And when I pray I feel rhythm and song
That's why I dance all my prayers
Unto God
::Inchworm
Inchworm, inchworm
Measuring the marigolds
You and your arithmetic will probably go far
Inchworm, inchworm
Measuring the marigolds
Seems to me you'd stop and see how beautiful they are!
::With Every Breath I Take
There's not a morning that I open up my eyes
And find I didn't dream of you…
Without a warning, no it's never a surprise
As soon as I awake, thoughts of you arise
With ev'ry breath I take…
At any time or place
I close my eyes and see your face
And I'm embracing you
If only I believed that dreams come true…Darlin'
You were the one who said forever from the start
And I've been drifting since you've gone
Out on a lonely sea that only you can chart
I've been going on, knowing that my heart will break
With ev'ry breath I take!
::What Is This Thing Called Love
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?
::My Funny Valentine
My funny Valentine
Sweet, comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Un-photographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
And each day will be Valentine's Day
::Don’t Waste Your Time
Verse
I know what you're thinking
But don't even try it
I know that you want me
But you're wasting your time
I know that you're scheming
But you might as well forget it
I know that you've been dreaming
But you're wasting your time…so
Chorus
Don't waste your time with me
Don't wait too long to see
What you really don't want to find
Baby, don't waste your time!
Verse 2
I don't want your money
I don't want you, honey
I never wanted your number
I never wanted your name
I don't need affection
I don't need protection
I never wanted nothin' from you
And that's the name of the game…so
Repeat chorus
::Extensions
Picture sunrise
Picture moon glow
Love do you know
Nature had her way with you, with you
Eyes of fire
Lines of laughter
It's no wonder
Nature had her way with you, with you
Extensions of each other
Born to one another
Extensions of each other
Born to one another in love
Born to one another in love
Born to one another in love…
::Autumn Leaves
The autumn leaves drift by my window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips the summer kisses
Those sunburned hands I use to hold
Since you went away the nights grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves begin to fall…
