The Good
05:25

|
Wake up in the morning and I look at the news
Of the world today
Everybody’s fighting ‘cause their rights are being
Taken away
Starting with the right to feel safe, whatever color your skin
Whatever god you believe in
And I can’t believe we have to have this conversation over again
And again and again
‘Cause the climate’s getting hotter
The bigot’s getting bolder
Things are getting harder and harder as
We’re getting older
So we’ve got to appreciate the good that we’ve got
Got to appreciate the good that we’ve got
Got to appreciate the good that we’ve got
Appreciate the good that we’ve got
When I go to bed at night I count up all my blessings
And pray
I pray for all the people who are living with oppression
Today
So I speak out in favor of equality and tolerance
No matter who you love or where you came from
We’ve got to learn to love each other, live together with our mother
Or we ain’t gonna last long
‘Cause the climate’s getting hotter
The bigot’s getting bolder
Things are getting harder and harder as
We’re getting older
So we’ve got to appreciate the good that we’ve got
Got to appreciate the good that we’ve got
Got to appreciate the good that we’ve got
Appreciate the good that we’ve got

My heart beats for you
My heart beats for you
All the blood in my veins knows
My love is true
My lungs breathe for you
My lungs breathe for you
Every breath that I take
The air I breathe is you
My feet dance for you
My feet dance for you
Every move that I make
The beat I feel is you
My voice sings for you
My voice sings for you
All the music I make
Is love to you

I Can't Help It

My walls are falling down for you
I want to know what love can do
I’ll give you anything you want me to
‘Cause I can’t help it loving you
I can’t help it loving you
I know your love for me is true
It’s in all the little things you do
I want to show you that I love you too
Why don’t we do the things that lovers do
Why don’t we do the things that lovers do
My walls are falling down for you
‘Cause I can’t help it loving you
I can’t help it loving you

Sleeping alone again
For the first time since I can’t remember when
So I lay down, but don’t want to dream again
‘cause all of my dreams are of you
So I hold my pillow tight
Crying ‘cause you didn’t treat me right
All my friends say I’ve got to let you go
And I know, yeah I know, what they’re saying is true
It’s gonna be a long, cold lonely winter
‘Till I feel the sun again
‘Till I’m over you
It’s gonna be a long, winding road ahead
‘Till I find a place where I
Can live without you
Well you know, all that nonsense is just what I told myself
Thinking that’s what it’ll take to break the spell
Then I realize, I see that you were long gone, so long!
And I’ve been doing, yeah I’ve been doing just fine this whole time
It’s gonna be a long, glorious winter
Laying in the sun again
Coming to bloom
It’s gonna be a long wonderful road ahead
Living in the light
That I have found without you
Over and over I’ve searched through my soul
Picking up all of the pieces
I pull them together and I fill in the holes
With the beauty and joy of my riches
I’ll be landing on my feet in the community that’s lifted me up
While I fall into a long, glorious winter
Laying in the sun again
Coming to bloom
It’s gonna be a long, wonderful road ahead
Living in the light
That I have found without you

Love come find me
Love come find me
Come take a seat, come on and tell me where you’ve been
Love, won’t you come and find me?
Love come and sing to me
Love serenade me
It’s been too long since I’ve heard your song
Love, won’t you come and sing to me?
Baby put your arms around me let me know you’re mine
I’ll be loving you until the sun doesn’t shine
Since you’ve been away I miss you all of the time
So come on baby now and let your love light shine
Love, come love me
Love, come love me
Come right in, rock my world again
Love, won’t you come and love me?
Love come be sweet to me
Sweet like a honey bee feeding his queen
Love my peaches, shake my tree
Love, won’t you come be sweet to me?

Elemental

I am a force of nature
Just like the moon and tide
I feel the earth move underneath my feet
And my soul to the sun does rise
Trees know where to reach a limb
Fish can always tell which way to swim
Being human isn’t any different
If we look past the skin we’re in
Air my breath and
Fire my spirit
Earth my body
Water my blood
I am the eye of the storm
I know the light from which we all are born
When the earth quakes and the waves break like thunder on the shore
It’s an echo of the fire in the core
Air my breath and
Fire my spirit
Earth my body
Water my blood

Equality For All
09:08
|
|||
|
Lately I see trouble all around me
People shouting, throwing up their hands
Saying “Wait a minute
what have we come to?
Why do we not all have equal rights?”
So I ask myself what can I do
When silence is what allows this injustice through
All over fear and hate are coming out in deadly ways
We’ve got to wake up
We’ve got some work to do
So whenever you’re in doubt
You don’t know what it’s all about
Keep your feet in time
Put a rhythm to the rhyme
You’ve got to let your voice come out
Artist paint a picture
Writer tell us all
I’ll sing that the solution to the problem is
Equality for all!
Equality for all!
Equality for all!
Equality for all!
People are dying, our planet is crying
And when we stand up, they don’t put it on the news
The revolution will not be televised
We’ve got to wake up, got to open our eyes
We’ve got to rise up, we’ve got some work to do
So whenever you’re in doubt
You don’t know what it’s all about
Keep your feet in time
Put a rhythm to the rhyme
You’ve got to let your voice come out
Artist paint a picture
Writer tell us all
I’ll sing that the solution to the problem is
Equality for all!
Equality for all!
Equality for all!
Equality for all!
I’m talking about Standing Rock and Ferguson and Flint Michigan
And Charlottesville and Puerto Rico and the Southern Border Wall
We’ve got to rise up
We’ve got to look out for each other
We’ve got to love one another
We’ve got to work together
Rise up, nevermind the pain
Rise up, because this is not okay
Rise up, shout the revolution
Rise up, love will defeat the hate
Love will defeat the hate
Love will defeat the hate
Love will defeat the hate
So whenever you’re in doubt
You don’t know what it’s all about
Keep your feet in time
Put a rhythm to the rhyme
You’ve got to let your voice come out
Artist paint a picture
Writer tell us all
I’ll sing that the solution to the problem is
Equality for all!
Equality for all!
Equality for all!
Equality for all!

Baby ever since I met you I cannot stop thinking of you
Day and night
You took me by surprise when you caught my eye
And I wonder could you be mine?
My heart skipped a beat when I felt the heat of your fire
Burning deep
Never have I ever met an ember bright as mine
Now I want to know your heat
Would it be okay if I called you baby
Would it be alright if we spent some time
Learning about how we go together
I want to know you better
Honey when I think about you don’t you know you make me feel a-
Flutter like a butterfly
Spreading my wings, making me sing
So high
You’re the one I desire, you’re the fuel to my fire
And baby I’m burning strong
‘Cause darling when my heart is pumping you’re the rhythm that it’s thumping
Won’t you be the beat of my song?
Would it be okay if I called you baby
Would it be alright if we spent some time
Learning about how we go together
I want to know you better
Would it be okay if I called you baby
Would it be alright if we spent some time
Learning about how we go together
I want to know you better
Would it be okay if I called you baby
Would it be alright if we spent some time
Learning about how we go together
I want to know you better

Make Your Move

It’s a beautiful night and we’re out on the town
The music is hot and we’re getting down
Moving and grooving getting into the mood
Positive vibes all around the room
The melody’s playing me, the rhythm is swaying me
If the music moving me moves you too
Why don’t you come on, baby, make your move?
I’m right here waiting, shaking for you
I see you watching while we get on our groove
Come on, baby, make your move!
The mood’s rising high and the bass is low
The tempo is up but we’re burning slow
Taking our time to stimulate the mind
Body and soul
The melody’s playing me, the rhythm is swaying me
If the music moving me moves you too
Why don’t you come on, baby, make your move?
I’m right here waiting, shaking for you
I see you watching while we get on our groove
Come on, baby, make your move!
The melody’s playing me, the rhythm is swaying me
If the music moving me moves you too
Why don’t you come on, baby, make your move?
I’m right here waiting, shaking for you
I see you watching while we get on our groove
Come on, baby, make your move!

My last lover left a funky taste in my mouth
And now you’ve come along and I need you to help me out
See, I’m all puckered up and sour, need your sun upon my flower
Will you fill me with your sweetness, honey
Why don’t you fill me with your sweetness, honey
Fill me with your sweetness, honey
Whey don’t you fill me with your sweetness, honey
Come on and give me all your sweetness, honey
Keep on pouring all that sugar in my ear
Keep on telling me all the things you seem to know I want to hear
If you call me names like “beautiful” and let me keep your hands full
I will fill you with my sweetness, honey
I want to fill you with my sweetness, honey
I want to fill you with my sweetness, honey
I want to fill you with my sweetness, honey
I want to give you all my sweetness, honey
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme that sweetness, honey
I get lost in the abyss of your kiss
You know the light in there is all that there is
You found a way in to the place where I live
Baby now that you’re here I’m gonna give you all I’ve got to give
I’m gonna give you all my sweetness, honey
Give you all my sweetness, honey
I want to give you all my sweetness, honey
I want to give you all my sweetness, honey
Give you all my sweetness, honey
Why don’t you give me all your sweetness, baby
Give me all your sweetness, honey
I want to give you all my sweetness, honey
I want to give you all my sweetness, honey
Come on and give me all your sweetness, honey

Come here my darling lover
Let me see your face
Come here my darling lover
Bring your warm embrace
Come here my darling lover
Let’s go to that place
Under the moon and stars
Dance the night away
Come here
Come here my darling lover
I will kiss your face
Come here my darling lover
I will sing your name
Come here my darling lover
However long you stay
All of our time together
Takes my breath away
Come here
Come here my darling lover
Take my hand
Show me where we begin
And have no end

Baby I know you’ve been broken again and again
I know you’re afraid of love and don’t want to give in
‘Cause you’ve been hurt too many times before
Don’t want to open that door anymore
Keeping your heart under lock and key
Open your eyes, baby you will see
Honey that’s okay
Oh honey that’s okay
I love you anyway
I can see you’re trying to be the best you can be
Never lying or cheating or stealing, you live honestly
Trying to make up for all the times you done wrong
Learning your lessons and making the songs
Some people tell you to stop, you’re too much
Yet somehow you think that you’re never enough
Honey, that’s okay
Oh honey that’s okay
I love you anyway
