” I want to tell you something;
Listen to me,
I’m trying to say, I’m better than you,
I am only what I am”

” We must not stand still,
For the night is coming,
Every man, every woman and child,
Everybody help me”

I hear, only what I want to hear,
But, I have to believe in something,
Have to believe in just one thing.
I said Father Washington, you’re all mixed up,
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup.
Well, spare a listen for a restless fool,
There’s something missing when I need your rule.

Well ,hey there;
You tell me you’re a holy man, But, although I am just a beginner,
I don’t see you as a winner.
I said, Sister Washington, you’re all washed up,
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup;
If I could tell you what you need to know;
If I could tell you to get on with the show.

I’d rather never leave her,
There’s a storm in my head,
Makes me hear what you say;
Just was it true?
So, what have I to do?
-Well, what has he to do?-
+Oh, what is there to-oo do+
What oh-oh-ohoh

“All creatures great and small,
all things wise and wonderful, the lord god made them all”

Mary, oh tell me what I’m living for,
‘Cause I feel like I’m tossed in the river,
Oh’ have you a son to deliver.

I said, Father Washington, you’re all mixed up,
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup,
you tell the children what you need to know,
But, will they listen when it’s time to go.

Oh, Sister Robinson, you’re all washed up,
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup,
Can someone tell me what I need to know,
Can someone help me to get on with the show.

Daylight has found me here again
You can ask me anything, but where I’ve been
Things that used to matter seem so small
When you’re looking for a soft place to fall

Don’t misunderstand me, baby, please
I didn’t mean to bring back memories
You should know the reason why I called
I was looking for a soft place to fall

Looking for a soft place
Nothing more than a small taste
Of a love that ended long ago
Looking for a place to hide
A warm bed on a cold night
I didn’t mean to hurt you
No, no, no

Looking out your window at the dawn
Baby, when you wake up, I’ll be gone
You’re the one who taught me after all
How to find a soft place to fall

You’re the one who taught me after all
How to find a soft place to fall

Baby you have to know
Love is the way you have to go
How many times I used to cry
All by my own, I was alone
Say that our love will never done
Love is a miracle to me
How many times I try to hide
Tell me no lies in this romance
Baby please give me a second chance

Love can be pleasure, love can be pain
Love can be a mystic time again and again
Give it up, give it up, you never know
I don’t want to live my life without you
Can you imagine, I wonder why
Making together our love alive
Give it up, hang it up, you never know
I don’t want to spend my life

I’ll never let you go
No matter what I’m going through
I’ve never felt this way before
Hey, where do you go

Love can be boring, love can be fun
Love can… walking…away in the sun
Give it up, give it up, you never know
I don’t want to live my life without you
I wanna hold you into the night
Making love together till the morning light
Give it up, hang it up, you never know
I don’t want to stand my life

I’ll never let you go
No matter what I’m going through
I’ve never felt this way before
Hey, where do you go

He never felt that she cared
Turning to leave
Feeling her lonely stare
If only a secret love

Left more than a broken heart
Like a fool thinks he felt the start
Of what he hoped for so long

He waits though he knows she’s gone
Alone he climbs
Until he falls

Only a secret love brings more than a broken heart

Like a fool I have played the part
Of what I hoped for so long
The need to belong…
In love

There’s a secret place I like to go
Everyone is there but their face don’t show
If you get inside you can’t get out
There’s no coming back, I hear them shout

Welcome to my hide away, my secret place
How I arrived I can’t explain
You’re welcome to, if you want to stay
But everyone just runs away

Let me in, get me out
Can’t do more then twist and shout
Lost my soul without a trace
Found it again in my secret place
In discrace

I hide from those that try to find me
Scary things that’s right behind me
I lost myself, I must confess
I can’t explain how I got this mess

We’re a people black as is your night
Born to spread Amma’s eternal light
Which since time began
Has been to bring truth to every man

Our ancestors have since long ago
Passed their wisdom down so we to know
For here lies the key
That will help unfold the mistery

A seed’s a star
A seed’s a star’s a seed
A star’s a seed
A star’s a seed’s a star

In myself I do contain
The elements of sun and rain
First a seed with roots that swell
I gradually burst through my shell
Pushing down into the ground
The root of me is homeward bound
A trunk, a leaf and there I am
A miracle of least by far

Tree – you are the longest living one we know
the largest of all plants and still you grow

Tree – within your branches there’s such history
so much of what we’re searching for to know

Every fifty years we celebrate
Po Tolo, our star, as it rotates
Though infinitely small
It is still the heaviest of them all

(Background)

A seed’s a star
A seed’s a star’s a seed
A star’s a seed
A star’s a seed’s a star
A seed’s a star
A seed’s a star’s a seed
A star’s a seed
A star’s a seed’s a star

(Background-simultaneous)

Ye Lolo De Ye
Lolo Ye Kesse De Ye
Kesse ye lolo De Ye
Lolo Ye Kesse De Ye
Kesse ye lolo De Ye
Lolo Ye Kesse De Ye
Kesse ye lolo De Ye
Lolo Ye Kesse De Ye

And some believe antennas are their leaves
That spans beyond our galaxy
They’ve been, they are and probably will be
Who are the mediocrity

If he don’t wanna talk
Leave him alone
If he don’t wanna talk
Leave him alone
He’s a self-made man, he did it on his own

Now some folks say there’s a dangerous side
Some folks says he’s got dangerous side
He’s a self-made man, he knows about pride

Chorus
So help me baby, look what love can do
It scares me baby, does it scare you too?

Some folks say it was a woman he knew
Some folks say it was a woman he knew
He’s a self-made man, he knows how to lose

(Repeat Chorus)

When you reach number ten
And think the struggle ends
But it ain’t the end
It’s only a trend

You have to unbend
‘Cause it’s only a trend
Don’t lose all your friends
Don’t make heroes end

When you reach number eight it ain’t no pearly gate
‘Cause it won’t satiate your growing appetite
You can ply your trade and push your crusade
Emancipate or indoctrinate, but the
Traps are all laid for and honest crusade
Your old values will fade as you struggle to make the grade
As you struggle to make the grade
(As you struggle to make the grade)
(You needn’t bother)

When you hit number four you’re almost through the door
But there’s a whole lot more you just can’t ignore
The telephone’s sure, you know the score
But don’t let this uproar dissipate your encore
It’s written in the news how you paid your dues
But you’ve no excuse for the people you abuse

When you reach number one you can beat your drum
You can sack your roadies in Birmingham
When your record is platinum, you can stick it to the bath,
To the wall like you’ve always planned
It’s written in the news how you paid your dues
But you’ve no excuse for the people you abuse

My heart was once just like a home
With many rooms and open doors
And I always let love in
It would change the rooms around and then
Leave them empty

‘Til one by one I locked each door
And soon forgot what love was for
But I never gave up hopin’
So I left just one door open
In case you found me

So there’s a room in my heart for you
If your trust has been stolen too
If you walk softly on this worn out wooden floor
And leave behind you the hurt you’ve had before
There’s a room in my heart for you

We’ll paint the walls from blue to white
And set the mood by candlelight
Together we’ll keep out the cold
And I’ll still be there when we’re old
If you’ll let me

So there’s a room in my heart for you
If your trust has been stolen too
If you walk softly on this worn out wooden floor
And leave behind you the hurt you’ve had before
There’s a room in my heart for you

You’ve got diamonds and I’ve got spades
You’ve got pills
And I’ve got razor blades
You’ve got yoga honey
I’ve got beer
You got overpriced
And I got weird
But it’s alright
We’re the same even though we’re alone
It’s alright
Yes we all need a room of our own
You’ve got love darlin’
I’ve got sex
You’ve got cash, mama
And I’ve got checks
You’ve got business, baby
I’ve got the kids
You got crowded just the way I did
But it’s alright
Cause we all need a place to call home
It’s alright
Yes we all need a room of our own
I can still remember packed together
Like a can of sardines
No, no, no
Pushin’, shovin’
That’s when lovin’
Starts to come apart at the seams
Oh no, no, no, no
You’ve got the day shift
I’ve got nights
We go wrong at times
But we’ve got rights
You’ve got TV shows
I’ve got crime
But you’ve got your room, honey
And I’ve got mine
It’s alright
It’s the one thing that we should have known
Yes, it’s alright
Yes, we all need a room of our own
And it’s alright
Yes we all need a place to call home
It’s alright
Yes we all need a room of our own
It’s alright
It’s alright
To have a room of your own
No, no, no, it’s alright
Yeah it’s alright mama
To have a room of our own
Sometimes you’ve got to get away
Got to get away
Got to get away
Got to get away to a room of our own
Got to have a room
Got to have a little elbow room of my own.
