Lyrics to Nov. 5 Show - RESPECT LIFE by Soul Supreme

Always keep it movin
You don't know what's gonna happen
You can't live day by day
You gotta plan ahead
Word up
If not: lost cause
You know what I'm sayin

So many things like to winter going to the spring
The birds are back in the morning I can hear 'em sing
Remembering when I was still in Elementary
My older brother woke up an hour ahead of me
Pumpin DMC, Rakim and Eric B
Too young to really know what it meant to me
Essentially altering my whole destiny
I'd be sleeping he did there to mess with me
We might box or wrestle to test the strength of me
It's all love, all love in the family
My pops jetted, my moms did everything
I know we struggled but I appreciate the memories
The wind blows in the sunshine steadily
It might rain but it's only temporary
The seasons change but there's always February
In order in joy pain is necessary
It's all relative like Einstein legendary
Respect life, why put yourself in jeopardy?

It was a sunny day I thought of let my thoughts run away
Yeah, I thought of let my thoughts run away
Although I need 'em sometimes I appreciate the freedom
Cause life is like a TV and every day's a re-run
Memorize the pattern when I quarterfy the character
See the aftermath we know exactly what was happening
Traveling imbalanced in my logic to check mines
By varying the topics extending my clan
Who want change but don't have a cup in their hands
We got a few and expand in a couple of jams
Yo I spit in a way that everyone can understand
It's critical, damn I'm not the average brother man
I'm not the Dow Joe for those who don't know or wondering
Tell 'em that I'll soon come and my thoughts cover land
Become the one like embracing every line in ya map
Maneuver right, through the night, choosing light over darkness
I said it but reiterate it's wonderful discovering self
I need mental prosperity, wealth
Knowledge and such, cause my thoughts didn't wonder as much
But it's a blessing so I'm dealing with the patterns of life

It's a blessing so I'm dealing with the patterns of life
Electric

Remember the days of your innocence
When your world was based on simple things and your spirit could live again
Time wasn't a factor, important things didn't matter
And talk of politics was chitter chatter
Looking back at the ways of an infant
When emotion was free to roam and freedom was home
You can wish on a star while I spit words of imagination
Appreciating every breath I'm taking with patience
Decision making was nothing more than a game
And the only thing you had to loose is what you had to gain
Pleasure or pain, the summer would rain
And some of us was fortunate to have another to blame
I use my voice as a vehicle they're one in the same
So you can travel, unravel through the thoughts of my brain
Insight, I give you light to see the source of my aim
I hope that you can appreciate what your future contains

The moral the song is to appreciate life
And take a look at who you are because so many live trife
So many problems, so many lost in the maze
That it's easy to forget about the good old day

Lyrics from October 29 & Nov 3 Show, WINE AND POETRY by Anne Harris

It's the verdant green of April
It's an old, familiar tune
It's the cat that naps in the middle of your lap
The first firefly in June
It's like waking up asleep again in a sweet, familiar bed
It's the stuff of wine and poetry and it goes right to my head

It's the feeling of belonging
It's the sunlight breaking thru
It's a thousand crickets singing as they serenade the moon
It's a symphony of color
A cup of tea in bed
It's the stuff of wine and poetry and it goes right to my head

I can't help but drink it in
Life's an amazing ride
I plan to return again
I plan to be by your side

It's the rhythm of the ocean
The wisdom of a tree
The laughter of your lover
The whisper of a breeze
It's a kitchen full of memories
The smell of baking bread
It's the stuff of wine and poetry and it goes right to my head

Lyrics from Octover 22 Show, EXTRAORDINARY, by Anne Harris

I'm dreaming up a plan
I'm scheming up a crime
of the most extraordinary kind

First
I'm gonna plant a tree
in the middle of a strip mall
and it will grow into the most extraordinary kind
and she's gonna shadow over all those SUVs
just you wait and see

Then
I'm gonna plant a garden
most improbable and magical
and it will feed 100 million hungry mouths

Then
we'll tap into our power
unified by a vision
of the most extraordinary kind
and the power of Love's gonna set us free
just you wait and see

I'm testing faith
I'm tempting hope
of the most extraordinary kind

Let's cool down our Mother
and let's raise up our voices
in a song unified let's create better choices
I believe we're unfolding
in the most extraordinary way

Lyrics from May 28 Show - What's Goin' On by Marvin Gaye

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Oh, brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
That's Right You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Oh my father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Barricades, can't block our way.
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me So you can see
Oh what's going on

What's going on
Yeah what's going on
Ahh what's going on
What's going on in a world filled with pain
Where's the love for which we pray
What's going on
When our children can't play
Homeless can't eat
There's got to be a better way
What's going on
When we're politically blind
Can't see the signs of endangered times
What's going on
Ah tell me
What's going on in the world today
I'd rather be dead Than turn my head away
We gotta first world vision
too comfy to lift our Hands in the air and cry for a switch

Father, father
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Together we can all be strong
United we stand, United we fall
Oh you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Barricades can't block our way
Don't punish me with brutality
Baby talk to me
So you can see
Yeah, what's going on
Hey, what's going on
Somebody tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's goin' on

-uh What's going on 'cross seas
Every minute a child dies by this disease
In record numbers indeed
Got momma's crying out please
My baby hold on My child ain't done nothing wrong

Still I want to hollar
Ask them why they don't bother
Oh no, oh no Make me turn to my father
And ask him why they all got a trapped soul
Somebody tell me what's going on (what's going on)
We got human beings using humans for bombs
But everyone wanna live
Don't nobody really want to die
You feeling me right
I can't be watching people die (die)
And watching people cry
Let me break it down for a minute
If there's enough room here for you and me
There's plenty of room for some humanity
Somebody tell me what's going on (what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on (what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on (what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on (what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on

Lyrics from May 28 Show - What The World Needs Now by Jackie DeShannonh

What the world needs now
is love sweet love,
its the only thing
that there's just too little of.

what the world needs now
is love sweet love,
no not just for some
but for everyone.

Lord we don’t need another mountain,
there are mountains and hillsides
enough to climb,
there are oceans and rivers
enough to cross enough to last
until the end of time

what the world needs now
is love sweet love,
its the only thing
that there’s just too little of,

what the world needs now
is love sweet love,
no not just for some
but for everyone

Lord, we don’t need another meadow,
there are corn fields and wheat fields
enough to grow,
there are sunbeams and moonbeams
enough to shine, oh listen Lord,
if you want to know

What the world needs now
is love sweet love,
its the only thing that there’s just too little of.
what the world needs now
is love sweet love,
no not just for some,
oh but just for every every everyone.

what the world (whoa whoa)
needs now,
is love (is love) sweet love

what the world ( oh oh)
needs now
is love (is love) sweet love
what the world (whoa whoa)
needs now is love (is love) sweet love

Lyrics from May 28 Show - Universal Love by Soul II Soul

I dream of the day of universal love

Life too precious to throw away
like a flame it can easily blow away
into the future we’re destined to go
time will show you
we will already know the way

Cultures closely connected
all respected none neglected
the dream of a love which is universal
Must happen
then we will be one
bring down the walls

I dream of the day of universal love

Everybody listen
make a change
negative attitudesRe-arrange
join together forget the hate
the time is now
We shouldn’t leave it too late
colours never deceive
me one family
people believe me
brothers and sisters related ancestrally
who needs a barrier
bring down the walls

I dream of the day of universal love

May 21st Show Lyrics to BEAUTIFUL by Carole King

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful as you feel

Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing
I've got nothing to do but watch the passers-by
Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing
And they don't see it showing, why do I?

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful as you feel

I have often asked myself the reason for sadness
In a world where tears are just a lullaby
If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness
Maybe not, oh, but we can only try

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful as you feel

May 21st Show Lyrics to BEAUTIFUL by Christina Aguilera

Everyday is so wonderful
Then suddenly
It's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring me down
Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends you're delirious
You're so consumed
In all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone
Left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is

You are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
Ohh no
You are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring you down
Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today

No matter what we do
No matter what we say
The sun will shine your way
'Cause you are beautiful today
Everywhere we go
The sun won't always shine
But tomorrow's another day
So keep on looking to the sky

We are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring us down
Ohh no
We are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring us down
Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down
Today

May 21st Show Lyrics to ABSOLUTELY NOT by Deborah Cox

Always waitin' for someone
To make me happy, pick me up
I realize that someone is me
What you call life, that ain't livin'
Bless the child that's got his own
It's my season, now I stand alone
Just thought that I would let you know
Some things you just can't control

[Chorus:]
Should I wear my hair in a ponytail?
Should I dress myself up in chanel?
Do I measure me by what you think?
Absolutely not, absolutely not
If I go to work in a mini-skirt
Am I givin' you the right to flirt?
I won't compromise my point of view
Absolutely not, absolutely not
Told myself I won't complain

But some things have got to change
Not gon' be a victim of
All your social push and shove
Right or wrong, you judge the same
My picture never fit your frame
What you thought, you'll never know
You can't see me with your mind closed

[Repeat Chorus]
Now I see, life means more to me
More than fancy clothes
More than you'll ever know
All the ugly words that I heard you say
Made me stronger everyday
Now I live my life for me
[Repeat Chorus 3x]

Oh, ooh
Woah, oh, ooh
All my ladies say
Oh, ooh
Woah, oh, ooh
Absolutely not, absolutely not
All my ladies say
Oh, ooh
Woah, oh, ooh
All my ladies say
Absolutely not, absolutely not

May 21st Show Lyrics to I AM WHAT I AM by Gloria Gaynor

I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation

It's my world
That I want to have a little pride in
My world
And it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn
Till you can say

I am what I am
I am what I am
I don't want praise I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise I think it's pretty

And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham
Till you can shout out

I am what I am
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses

I deal my own deck
Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out

I am what I am
I am what I am
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses

I deal my own deck sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out

I am what I am
Oh I am
Oh I am
I am, I am, I am good
I am, I am, I am strong
I am, I am, I am worthy
I am, I am, I belong

I am
I am
Ooh ooh ooh ooh I am
I am, I am, I am useful
I am, I am, I am true
I am, I am somebody
I am as good as you, ah ha
Ah ha, ooh ooh ooh ooh yes I am
Ah ah ah ah
Doo doo doo doo I am
I am, I am, I am

TOMORROW (BETTER YOU, BETTER ME)

I hope tomorrow will bring better you, better me
I know that we’ll show this world we got more we could be
So you should never give up on your hopes and your dreams
You gotta get up, get out, get into it, get it on to be strong

We can go anywhere we want, any road we decide to take
And we’re never, never, never too far from tomorrow today

If tomorrow is light in a place where there’s no home
Then know that now is the time to have faith in us all
You know we’re all in this world and we all can belong
We gotta get up, get out, get over it, get it on to be strong

If we try we can fly to another place in the sun
All we need is precious dreams and a friend we can trust
We can go any where we want, any road we can take
And we’re never too far from tomorrow today

Everybody say tomorrow is just for us to share
And we’re gonna send our message of love out everywhere
There’s a promise of love tomorrow has
Something special and it’s something we know will last and last

Cause we’re never far away, never
One thing I can always be sure of
Far away, no never
The promise of today

If we try we can fly to a whole ‘nother place in the sun
All we need is precious dreams and a friend we can trust
We can go any where we want, any road that we decide to take
And we’re never too far from tomorrow today

Everybody say tomorrow is just for us to share
And we’re gonna send our message of love out everywhere
There’s a promise of love tomorrow has
Something special and it’s something we know will last and last

Everybody say tomorrow is just for us to share
And we’re gonna send our message of love out everywhere
There’s a promise of love tomorrow has
Something special and it’s something we know will last and last

’Cause we’re never far away, never
One thing I can always be sure of
Far away, no never
