Rain Your Love Down

Such a lovely world was made for you and me
Wondrous life for us to taste, touch, smell, hear, and see
But one glance from outside looking at our world state
Clearly displays we don't appreciate it at all

Rain your love down won't you rain down your love
Let it drench us like the sun from above

Such ability inside you and me
Made to do anything and be all we can be
But one bird's eye view at us does show, oh it shows
That against God's Plan we've let it go, oh no

Rain your love down won't you rain down your love
Let it drench us like the sun from above
Rain your love down let it rain down today
So that it may wash all our sins away

You'd think the signs would make a difference,
oh, make a difference
You'd think fire next time instead of rain
Would cause us to make a change
The world has gone insane

Rain, rain your love down won't you rain down your love
Let it drench us like the sun from above
Rain your love down let it rain down today
So that it may wash all our sins away, let it rain

Rain your love down let it pour on us, please
Cleansing us from hunger, hate, war, and greed
Rain your love down, won't you let it start over again
So we can live up to your Master Plan

Rain your love down oh won't you let it start
Wash the wicked minds and the...
I know they're sick, you know they're sick, we know they're sick at heart, yeah

Rain your love down won't you let it rain
Rid this world of drugs, disease, crime, and pain
Clear our spirits give our minds new software
With your lesson on honor, respect, trust, and care

Rain your love down I beg for human sake
For only you can get us out of this state
Rain your love down rain down on all mankind
Cause we are out of order and so out of line.

Edge of Eternity

Wolf tickets are all you say I'm selling
Well that goes to show what you need to know
Cause I ain't yackin' nothin' I ain't packin'
My love can get with your love toe to toe

So when you're ready
Really, truly ready
Holding strong and steady
I'll be good to go
Cause if you start it
I am gonna finish it
I am gonna knock it
Like it ain't been knocked before

Getting with this
Know you're gonna be
Stepping off the edge of eternity
Just one kiss
Know it's you and me
Stepping off to the edge of eternity

Dead air time is all you say you're hearing
Well that shows how much you don't comprehend
Cause it's not in the loud but in the quiet
Where lies the thing that will make your head spin

So when you're willin'
Really, truly willin'
Not just simply illin'
You just let me know
Cause when you get it
I ain't gonna quit it
Girl, I'm gonna hit it
Like it ain't been hit before

Gettin' with this
Know you're gonna be
Stepping off to the edge of eternity
Just one kiss
Know it's you and me
Stepping off to the edge of eternity

Pie in the sky is all you say I can deliver
Well wait til you feel what I've got in store
One hundred and eighty pounds of good and plenty
And when you've got the need I've got some more

So when you mean it
Really, truly mean it
Not just scheming to get to it
We can get it on
Cause if you woo it
I'm going to get to it
Girl, we're gonna do it
Until every ounce is gone

Gettin' with this
Know you're gonna be
Stepping off to the edge of eternity
Just one kiss
Know it's you and me
Stepping off to the edge of eternity

Are you ready to step off the edge into eternity
Really, really ready to step off the edge into eternity
Cause if you're ready to step off the edge into eternity
We can step right off the edge into eternity

Are you ready to step off the edge into eternity
Really, really ready to step off the edge into eternity
Cause if you're ready to step off the edge into eternity
We can step right off the edge into eternity

Taboo to Love

Are you telling me you feel
Like you have never felt
Ut Oh, my heart
Don't you know those famous words
Be seen but not heard
Taboo to love

Are you telling me your eyes
Met hers to your surprise
But why, my heart?
How loud must you hear me say
Have fun but don't play
Taboo to love

Where's your lantern or candlelight
So to guide you through hidden spaces
Though its said truth unveils all lies
Feelings can't be left to roam

So you say you've lost your head
But you use your heart instead
Beware of love
This is not like you at all
Who vowed to never fall
Taboo to love, taboo to love (Taboo)
To love, taboo to love (Taboo)

Where's your raincoat and over-boots
To protect you in stormy weather
Though its said when you walk in truth
Love can bring you no harm

So you've made up in your mind
You'll leave your fears behind
So brave my heart
I guess your heart has made you see
Its better to be free
No taboo to love

I guess your heart has made you see
Its much better to be free
No Taboo to love
No taboo to love (Taboo)
To love, no taboo to love (Taboo)
To love, no taboo to love (Taboo)
To love, no taboo to love (Taboo)
No taboo to love

Take the Time Out

Lying out on the street, there's a man
That needs somewhere to sleep
And a bag-lady digs, through the trash
Hoping to find some food to eat
In the cold winter's snow, walks a boy
That needs shoes for his feet
In an old run-down house, there's a child
In a crib that needs some heat
In the dark of the night, a young man
Searches for a guiding light
And a young woman cries in despair
Cause she feels alone in life
You might ask yourself what in the hell
Does that have to do with me
Well, here is your wake up call...
"Everything!"
Cause we all play a part in each other's existence

Take the time out to love someone
Reach your arms out and hug someone
Be it king or some homeless one
We are all one underneath the sun

Take the time out to be right there
Take the time out to show you care
You'll be so glad when the day is done
You took the time out to love someone

There's a man in a house where they're selling crack
Yet he's trying to be strong
But when lost in the sea, of no hope
He must be saved from wrong
Don't say what you won't do, if for days
You had no food to eat
Nor extremes you won't go, for a bed, shoes
Or if your baby needed heat
You do not have the right to pre-judge

If you don't share your strength

And you can't say you're down for the fight
If you won't go the length
Now I don't really care what you feel
If you don't feel for life
And don't care what you think if your words
Don't have ways and actions that perpetuate life

Take the time out to love someone
Reach your arms out and hug someone
Be it king or some homeless one
We are all one underneath the sun

Take the time out to be right there
Take the time out to show you care
You'll be so glad when the day is done
You took the time out to love someone

Take the time out to be right there
Take the time out to show you care
You'll be so glad when the day is done
You took the time out to love someone

I think it's time to…

Take the time out to love someone
Reach your arms out and hug someone
Be it king or some homeless one
We are all one underneath the sun

Take the time out to be right there
Take the time out to show you care
You'll be so glad when the day is done
You took the time out to love someone

Take the time out to be right there
Take the time out to show you care
You'll be so glad when the day is done
You took the time out to love someone

I'm New

Try to envision you as the oldest living someone
Being every night and day all alone
Going through ages and ages, places and spaces
With never finding that someone to call your own

Like a treasure chest of dreams long forgotten
Hidden for good in a stolen lost and found
But just when fate was calling quits
Love appeared in the midst of despair, came and turned your life around

I'm new, new like the first day of spring
New like a nightingale that's just learned to sing
I'm new, new like the very start of dawn
Like a child that's first born with your love, I'm new

You're standing amongst a crowd of six billion people
Crying out for help, but no one understands
Cause much to your dismay, you've been taken far away
To a land where joy is pain and sorrow's a happy man

Where an aching heart's the sign of the mighty
And a love-filled heart looks down upon with fault and shame
But at the very instant all was through, lady lucks appears, says "love can do"
And changed you like a Christian who's been born again

I'm new, new like the fresh morning dew
New like a work of art that's finally through
I'm new, new like a first flight of a dove
So safe and secure with your love, I'm new

Love took a long time coming to me
But I've gotta say
I owe my thanks to him for sending you my way, hey

Cause I'm new, new like the first winter snow
Like the start of forever, with infinity to go
I'm new, new like the birth of the sun
Forever young I will be

Cause with your love, I'm new
New like from a restful night of sleep
New like a starving man that's had food to eat

I'm new, nothing compares nor can compete
Sharing with you the sweetness of your love, I'm new

My Love is with You

I was just walking down the street
Looking forward to seeing the friends I was to meet
Yet what happened so tragically
Really makes for no sense at all
Suddenly two guys confronted me
Saying I was on the wrong turf, angrily
They said their colors were black but I was wearing gray
I started to turn to go back
They up and blew me away

My love is with you, where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are

Though my life they've taken
They can't take what we've shared
Spread the love I've given
And I'll be there

I was out playing with my friends
You know, doing those silly things kids do at ten
But the crossfire I was caught in
Should not have been in the first place
A dropped Monte Carlo came to a screech
Someone yelled "nobody gets away with dissen me"
Across the street a man pulled his nine
Everybody started to run
A shower of bullets rang out
Mistakenly my life was done, oh

My love is with you, where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are

Though my life they've taken
They can't take what we've shared
Spread the love I've given
I'll be there

My love is with you, where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are

When you're joyful
When you're lonely
When you're happy
When tears are streamin right down your face
In the morning
In the noon time
In the evening
In the wee wee hours of the nighttime hour
In the summer
In the springtime
In the autumn
In the cold long winter, winter nights
My love is with you
My love is with you my best friend
My love is with you my brother
My love is with you my sister
My love is with you my mother
My love is with you my father
I'm with you — I'm with you…
Ban the hand gun - chant

Treat Myself

There's a place I can go
When the tension's high and I'm feeling low
In a falsh I can be in an another space
As a different me, have a new id.

I think I'll treat myself to all the pretty places in my head
Yes, I'm going to treat myself to all the pretty places in my head

There's no rich, there's no poor
Everything is love, no such word as "war"
There's no black and no white
Rainbow colors they, dress the days and nights, life's a paradise

I think I'll treat myself to all the pretty places in my head
Yes, I'm going to treat myself to all the pretty places in my head

Its amazing how the mind
Can do what you want it to
It can take you to a time
Where you'll want to stay forever
Feeling everlasting pleasure
If your life's in a place
That you can hardly bare
Come along with me to mental ecstasy

I think I'll treat myself to all the pretty places in my head
Yes, I'm going to treat myself to all the pretty places in my head

I think I'll treat myself to all the pretty places in my head
Yes, I'm going to treat myself to all the pretty places in my head

(Whatsoever things are lovely)
Whatsoever things are pure
Whatsoever things are honest
Whatsoever things are true

(Whatsoever things are lovely)
Whatsoever things are pure
Whatsoever things are honest
Whatsoever things are true

Tomorrow Robins will Sing

Now every ting is lovely
So don't put yu trust inna false prophecy
Dis a de Edley Shine & Stevie
You might wonder
Stand firm to all those who feel concern
Ca when you can't see the light
You must see the Robins in flight
Life is just a matter of time or space
So all those who have to face sorrow
Shall only have to wait till tomorrow
Big tings a guan dis year
So mek we drop inna gear
Come cross missa Stevie Wonder
Watch it!

Now where do I start to make the point that I'll be making
To most efficiently use your time that I'll be taking
With the clear understanding that every ticking second is precious to us all
But if you let me bend your ear and listen up you will hear
Not just what I say, but every word that I am saying

You wake in the morning from a dream with spirits dope hype
Though you real life condition is far from being alright
Your love has wronged you, your money's gone, you've lost your home and everything you own
But before you do something major extreme
I've got one simple thing for you to take along with you, as you go on your lonely way

Tomorrow robins will sing, tomorrow robins will sing
It really is no big thing, cause tomorrow robins will sing
Tomorrow blue jays will fly, the weather forecasts clear skies
So dry those tears from your eyes, cause tomorrow blue jays will fly

You borrow a dime to call up a friend that you could rely on
They put the phone down, you hear in the background "tell him I'm not home"
Your face is broken, your throat is chokin, you hang up the phone in disbelief
And to make matters worse
You can remember you were the first and only one to come to him when lonely was his everyday

But if what you did came from your heart and not expecting
Then you should not waste one heart beat on any regretting
The saying's older than old yet true for today as when it was made to be told
As you saw so shall you reap
And if you've treated life sweet
Your blessing's been ordained and already on its way

Tomorrow robins will sing, tomorrow robins will sing
It really is no big thing, cause tomorrow robins will sing
Tomorrow blue jays will fly, the weather forecasts clear skies
So dry those tears from your eyes, cause tomorrow blue jays will fly

Today is the tomorrow you were so worried about
Looking over your yesterday
The clouds are gone and the sun is out
And everything has worked out irie okay

Tomorrow robins will sing, tomorrow robins will sing
It really is no big thing, cause tomorrow robins will sing
Tomorrow blue jays will fly, the weather forecasts clear skies
So dry those tears from your eyes, cause tomorrow blue jays will fly
Tomorrow robins will sing, tomorrow robins will sing
It really is no big thing, cause tomorrow robins will sing.

Sensuous Whisper

I've seen you, I saw you, I see you
without little notice, if any at all
Of you knowing me watchin you
You walking, you talking, you smiling
You styling in everything your body wears
And that's not just a point of view
They're painting, they're ranting, they're raving
About Miss Lovely got it going on
From head down to her toes
And no one knows better than I know
Cause I've been listening to the spirit of
Your body, mind and soul

It's a sensuous whisper
That makes my body weak
It's that sensuous whisper
That's sweeter than the sweetest sweet
It's that sensuous whisper
That makes my psyche say
Ooh we, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we

Can feel you, can smell you, can taste you
Though my senses never had the pleasure of
That lovely wonderment
But I start to shaking, I shiver, to think that little sparkle in your eye
Means you are giving me some kind of hint
I'm ready, I'm willing, I'm able
In fact those words are at the tip of my tongue
Eagerly waiting for me to say
Then you smile and whisper "how are you?"
But when I move my lips and try to speak the words just go away

It's a sensuous whisper
That makes my body weak
It's that sensuous whisper
That's sweeter than the sweetest sweet
It's that sensuous whisper
That makes my psyche say
Ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we

It's that sensuous whisper that's got me trippin out
It's that sensuous whisper
That I don't wanna do without
It's that sensuous whisper
That makes me want to shout
Ooh we, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we

I don't even care how long it takes
As long as I have you lying next to me
Cause to wait forever and a day
Is a small price to pay if it's you I'm getting
If it's you I'm getting, I'm not quitting
And that is how I'm living

I'm clinging, not dreaming, but scheming
With my nose against the grind and both my eyes focused upon the prize
I think it, I trust it, I know it
Your love that I've longed for is gonna be mine
Good things do come in time
I'm right on the rythm you're givin
But this is more than giving up some casual mental telepathy
The music, the candles, the champagne and all that's needed
Is one thing to give it authenticity

It's a sensuous whisper
That makes my body weak
It's that sensuous whisper That's sweeter than the sweetest sweet
It's that sensuous whisper
That makes my psyche say
Ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we

It's that sensuous whisper
That's got me trippin out
It's that sensuous whisper
That I don't wanna do without
It's that sensuous whisper
That makes me want to shout
Ooh we, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we

It's a sensuous whisper
That makes my body rock
It's that sensuous whisper
That makes me beg baby don't ever stop
It's that sensuous whisper
That always get me hot, baby
Ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we

It's that sensuous whisper
That makes me feel alright
It's that sensuous whisper
That keep me wanting you morning, noon and every single night
It's that sensuous whisper
Don't want you out of my sight, baby
Ooh we, ooh wee, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we, ooh we

It's that sensuous whisper
It's that sensuous whisper…

For Your Love

All the gold in all the world
Is nothing to possess
If all the things that it can bring
Can't add up to one ounce of your happiness

And for your love
I would do anything
Just to see the smile upon your face
For your love
I would go anywhere
Just you tell me and I'll be right there

A diamond that shines
Like a star in the sky
Is nothing to behold
For miniscule is any light
If it can't like you brighten up my soul

And for your love
I would do anything
Just to see the smile upon your face
For your love
I would go anywhere
Just you tell me and I'll be right there

I could have never fathomed this
Such joy, love and tenderness
That you give to me
For the love I feel inside
It's so wonderful I can't hide
And I glow, I glow
With just the thought of you
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

And for your love
I would do anything
Just to see the smile upon your face
For your love
I would go anywhere
Just you tell me and I'll be right there

And for your love
I would do anything
Just to see the smile upon your face
For your love
I would go anywhere
Just you tell me and I'll be right there

And for your love
I would do anything
Just to see the smile upon your face
For your love
I would go anywhere
Just you tell me and I'll be right there

And for your love
I would do anything
Just to see the smile upon your face
For your love
I would go anywhere
Just you tell me and I'll be right there

Cold Chill

Feelin young and full of fun
Hangin out with my crew
Hot to trot and about to pop
Tryin to find some girl to get into

There she was fine as can be
Hair braided down to her knees
She took me home, she turned me out
But before sunrise she said I must leave

It was a cold chill on a summer night
Never thought the girlie wouldn't treat me right
It was a cold chill on a summer day
Never thought the girl would dog me out that way
It was a cold chill on a summer morn
Never cried like a baby since the day I was born
It was a cold chill on a summer eve
Never had no chopper bring me to my knees

I was feeling so trusting
Gave it all right down to the bone
But she did me wrong
On a summer night

Far from meek, and feelin chic
Refusing to concede defeat
There I was same crew, same time
Same club we kicked it at the previous week

I asked her how could she have the nerve
To treat me with such disgrace
She blinked her eyes, smiled, apologized
Threw her drink right in my face

It was a cold chill on a summer night
Never thought the girlie wouldn't treat me right
It was a cold chill on a summer day
Never thought the girl would dog me out that way
It was a cold chill on a summer morn
Never cried like a baby since the day I was born
It was a cold chill on a summer eve
Never had no chopper bring me to my knees

I was feeling so trusting
Gave it all right down to the bone
But she did me wrong
On a summer night, on a summer night
On a summer night, on a summer night
A cold chill, a cold chill, a cold chill, cold chill

Weekends came and weekends passed
But not the yearning in my heart
And there she was to light the spark
Like she did right from the very start

I took no time, drove to her house
Got deep into a passion high
I heard a knock, the turn of a key
And the voice of another guy

It was a cold chill on a summer night
Never thought the girlie wouldn't treat me right
It was a cold chill on a summer day
Never thought the girl would dog me out that way
It was a cold chill on a summer morn
Never cried like a baby since the day I was born
It was a cold chill on a summer eve
Never had no chopper bring me to my knees

I was feeling so trusting
Gave it all right down to the bone
But she did me wrong
On a summer night, on a summer night
On a summer night, on a summer night

It was a cold chill
Like standing in the deep freeze
A cold chill
Like when snow's above your knees
Cold chill
Like sitting at the north pole
A cold chill
Wearing not one stitch of clothes
Cold chill
Like a winter Chicago night
A cold chill
Twenty ice cubes down your back for spite
Cold chill
Stranded in sub-zero degrees
A cold chill
Layed out on the arctic sea
Cold chill
When your fingers get frost bite
A cold chill
Buried beneath ten feet of ice
Cold chill
Baby, that ain't so nice
A cold chill

Sorry

Into each life there comes a time
When you must pay your lovers' dues
Breakin' out in a cold sweat
Cause you've been rightfully accused

I'm not such a strong man
That love can't make me weak
You're walkin' out the door
And it's hurting me so deep, so deep

And I'm sorry
Sorry that I made you cry
Sorry, sorry that I told you lies
I'm sorry, sorry the way we fuss and fight
I'm sorry, sorry cause now you're
saying goodbye to me

Every young boy will grow up
To then become a man
Then the difference from wrong and right
He clearly understands
I'm not such a big man
That I can't break down in tears
Cause my whole body went into shock
When you told me you were out of here! Out of here!

And I'm sorry
Sorry that I made you cry
Sorry, sorry that I told you lies
I'm sorry, sorry the way we fuss and fight
I'm sorry, sorry cause now you're saying
goodbye to me, to me

I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
I'm sorry baby, that I ever made you cry
I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
I'm sorry baby, that I ever told you lies
I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
I'm sorry baby, sorry the way we fuss and fight
I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
I'm sorry baby, so sorry

If you added up all the good times
And compared them with the bad
You'd realize that our love
Was the best you ever had

I'm not such a proud man
That I won't cop a plea
See me baby girl, I'm on my knees
Beggin please, baby please, baby please, oh yeah

I'm sorry, sorry that I made you cry
Sorry, sorry that I told you lies
I'm sorry, I'm sorry the way we fuss and fight
I'm sorry, sorry cause now you're
saying goodbye to me, me baby, me baby, me baby

I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
I'm sorry baby, that I ever told you lies
I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
I'm sorry baby, that I ever made you cry
I'm sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
I'm sorry baby, sorry the way we fuss and fight
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry…

Conversation Peace

Staring right at 2000 AD
As if mankind's atrocities to man has no history
But just a glance at life in 2000 BC
We find traces of man's inhumanity to man
There's no mystery

All for one, one for all
There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights
Unless we heed the call
Me for you, you for me
There's no chance of world salvation
Less the conversation's peace

We can't pause, watch and say "no" this can't be
When there's a plan by any means to have
Cleansing of one's ethnicity
And we shouldn't act as if we don't hear nor see
Like the holocaust of six million Jews and
A hundred and fifty million blacks during slavery

All for one, one for all
There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights
Unless we heed the call
Me for you, you for me
There's no chance of world salvation
Less the conversation's peace

When publicly or privately convened
May love, positivity and life's preservation
be the basic theme
And should you put your trust in some
prophet in life
Give him trust but your faith must stay
with the one
Who gave the ultimate sacrifice for...

All for one, one for all
There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights
Unless we heed the call
Me for you, you for me
There's no chance of world salvation
Less the conversation's peace
Less the conversation's peace…
