Look at the World
03:59
|
|||
|
Look at the world what do you see things being born and ceasing to be
Leaves on the tree Leaves on the ground something was lost something is found
Here there is life and there is decay the seed of tomorrow dust of today
A land of stone a land of green the product of man and that of machine
Look around what do you see is it everything you want it would be
A beast in the wild a beast in a cage a summer of calm a winter of rage
When there are few when there is more when there is peace when there is war
The story of man becoming unfurled the overall plan there is for the world
The lessons of time concealed in the sand the value of faith when we don’t understand
Look around what do you see is it everything you want it would be
What do you see when you open your eyes is it the truth or a disguise
What did you learn from the world today what can you tell me what can you say
Up in the sky a different thing the sun and the moon not changing a thing
Look at the world through all the lies only one G-d guiding our lives
Look around what do you see is it everything you want it would be
Look around what do you see is it everything you want it would be

I Walk Along
03:56
|
|||
|
I go through life walk along see and hear what’s going on
Some people thrive some just survive I wonder why and walk along
There’s a world outside of me surrounding me a reality beyond me
If I had a million years to comprehend I’d never get to the end
I travel on see some more I make mistakes some I can't ignore
Missed a turn what’s gone is gone can’t go back so I keep walking on
There’s a world outside of me surrounding me a reality beyond me
If I had a million years to comprehend I’d never get to the end
Through it all win or lose get the blues still I choose
To be strong and keep on walking along
So much here under the sun try to learn from everyone
You don’t need a pretty face to make the world a better place
There’s a world outside of me surrounding me a reality beyond me
If I had a million years to comprehend I’d never get to the end

An Angel Can't See Grey
03:27
|
|||
|
A stranger can’t see past the dirt on your face
Before you say a word you’re already a disgrace
And an angel can’t see grey but a man is not that way
The old can’t teach the young they’re too set in their ways
To grow you have to change you have to see the greys
And an angel can’t see grey but a man is not that way
There’s always night and day but it’s never black and white
We can find another way we don’t have to fight
For any love to grow you have to learn to see the greys
Have to try to compromise realize we’re not the same
The truth is never clear
A million mistakes for every good idea
A child can’t understand that there’s a time and place
Thinks his mother’s hand will always hold the ace
And an angel can’t see grey but a man is not that way
An angel can’t see grey but a man is not that way

Eyes on Wine
03:35
|

Eyes on wine feeling fine wrong and right took a flight
Had a drink and feeling brave I hope that I don’t misbehave
I put my eyes on wine and I went to the sky
Now I rely on wine every time I want to fly
Eyes on wine I’m the guy who has no fear and feels no pain
I’m the guy with all the pride and the one who has no shame
I put my eyes on wine and I went to the sky
Now I rely on wine every time I want to fly
For some of us it’s a crutch can’t get by without it
Not everyone’s afflicted but some become addicted
All I say is I curse the day I put my eyes on wine
Because that’s the day my evils all became justified
Just a sip crossed my lip then a glass then the bottle
Wine is sweet wine is scented it’s effect is so subtle
I put my eyes on wine and I went to the sky
Now I rely on wine every time I want to fly

The first time that he stole it was just a piece of candy
The next time took a bill from the wallet of his daddy
Then he and a friend broke into a house on the weekend
Before long hit a store now he’s looking for a big score
When he was a boy his daddy said don’t be a thief
Take my advice one day you’re gonna pay don’t throw your life away
Got a gun copped a gem started bragging to his friends
Wasn’t long it went wrong and it was over like a pop song
The judge said needs a lesson put him in the house of detention
Give him time to reconsider a life of crime for something better
When he was a boy his daddy said don’t be a thief
Take my advice one day you’re gonna pay don’t throw your life away
When he was a boy his daddy said don’t be a thief
Take my advice one day you’re gonna pay don’t throw your life away
Went to visit a man in prison he was doing time for nicking
At twenty-five he got busted now he’s never going to be trusted
He was talking I was listening trying hard to be a good friend
An hour later when it was over we said goodbye and he told me
When I was a boy my daddy said don’t be a thief
Take my advice one day you’re gonna pay don’t throw your life away

There’s a King there’s a fool fighting for who’s gonna rule
The only one who can see is someone who’s broken free
The fool’s a lie in disguise trying hard to mesmerize
The King is waiting just to see who will solve the mystery
This world is an illusion, this world is an illusion this world is an illusion
I’m here today to show the way how to lead the fool astray
Just like he entices you, you can do the same thing too
When he says come with me all you do is count to three
He’ll disappear into the air just like he was never there
This world is an illusion, this world is an illusion this world is an illusion
There’s a man I was told he was driving down the road
Looked aside and he spied a stranger at his side
The light was red he was dead if he would turn his head
The stranger had eyes that could hypnotize
When the light was green he thought he was free and clean
So he turned his head just to have a peak
The next thing he knew he became weak and was overcome
With a strange emotion that took control of him…
Don’t say yes don’t say no just let the moment go
Even when you think you’ve won things can become undone
Don’t get angry don’t have fear just keep this secret safe and near
Remember to count to three and then you’ll feel yourself break free
This world is an illusion, this world is an illusion this world is an illusion

Used to be I could think through any kind of pain
Sit on the moon and look down at the rain
As I get older it’s harder not to feel the grip of time
As I get older it’s harder not to slip off of the line
I’m walking on life’s high wire, walking life’s high wire
Used to be I could blend with any kind of scene
Talk about life like it was a dream
As I get older it’s harder not to cross the boundary
As I get older it’s harder not to lose stability
I’m walking on life’s high wire, walking life’s high wire
Trying to find my talents, yeah, trying to keep my balance oh
The future’s in a hurry and there’s no net on the ground
The past has been buried under the bridges I burned down
I’m walking on life’s high wire, walking on life’s high wire
Trying to find my talents, yeah, trying to keep my balance oh
I’m walking on life’s high wire…..walking on life’s high wire

Song for Peace

Brothers and sisters, the world is our home plenty for all when there’s Shalom
A fight with a friend, countries at war reason’s the same grabbing for more
There’s plenty of water plenty of air plenty of food if we would share
Plenty of land to build what we need too much hatred and too much greed
So many people all over the Earth ask their father what they’re worth
Would you want your child living in pain your child or mine it’s all the same
There’s plenty of water plenty of air plenty of food if we would share
Plenty of land to build what we need too much hatred and too much greed
Think about humanity not about technology don’t be a puppet of society
Put aside a narrow-mind make room for humankind drop me a line let me know what you decide
So many cultures so many beliefs everyone searching for something sweet
I may be broken when you’re doing fine but your blood isn’t redder than mine
There’s plenty of water plenty of air plenty of food if we would share
Plenty of land to build what we need too much hatred and too much greed

This is My World

Life is good it’s plain to see everything was made for me
The way it fits like a glove a present from The One Above
This is my world I can’t walk away
This is my world I can make a change, I can make a change
Every night my soul goes up until the morning when I rise
I thank the Lord for another day it’s good to be alive
This is my world I can’t walk away
This is my world I can make a change, I can make a change
Every day I pray every child grows up to say
This is my world I can’t walk away
Life is good it’s plain to see with all its opportunity
To feel the sun, laugh and sing the mountains and the deep blue sea
This is my world I can’t walk away
This is my world I can make a change, I can make a change

I'm a Folk Singer
03:40
|
|||
|
I'm moving along singing my song sharing my soul around the globe
When I get to play it’s all worthwhile
Men and women boys and girls my only mission in this world
Is to have the chance to make you smile
I’m a folk singer doing my part I’m a folk singer with all my heart
Writing about the way I see it
I’m a folk singer yes it’s true I’m a folk singer that’s what I do
It’s simple because I was born to be it
Speak my mind and have thick skin not every song’s gonna be a win
And I might look bad when I’m out to do good
Gotta be real I can’t be fake even if I make mistakes
It’s harder to get to heaven then to Hollywood
I’m a folk singer doing my part I’m a folk singer with all my heart
Writing about the way I see it
I’m a folk singer yes it’s true I’m a folk singer that’s what I do
It’s simple because I was born to be it
No one tells me what to say no one taught me how to play
I’m just going with my inner rhythm
On the street or on the stage I’m gonna sing till my old age
Even if I die an unknown legend
As I age I’ve heard them say I don’t fit into the groove today
But I’ll keep flowing in my own direction
Just because the times have changed the song still remains the same
It just takes some different words to teach the lesson
And I’m a folk singer doing my part I’m a folk singer with all my heart
Writing about the way I see it
I’m a folk singer yes it’s true I’m a folk singer that’s what I do
It’s simple because I was born to be it

Write a song sing along lift your feet feel the beat we can move the world with music
Hum a tune bang a drum tap a finger snap a thumb we can move the world with music
We can move the world with music, we can move the world with music
Blow a sax strike a chime you can even rap a rhyme when you move the world with music
Have some faith pluck a bass put a smile on your face elevate the world with music
We can move the world with music, we can move the world with music
We can change the world for the better ignite that human spark
When we move the world with music it’ll take us all out of the dark
A trumpet clarinet or harp everyone can play a part go and move the world with music
Get a guitar in your hand once you jam you’ll understand come join together with the band
We can change the world for the better ignite that human spark
When we move the world with music it’ll take us all out of the dark
We can move the world with music, we can move the world with music
