All Those Years ago
I’m shouting all about love While they treated you like a dog When you were the one who had made it so clear All those years ago. I’m talking all about how to give They don’t act with much honesty But you point the way to the truth when you say All you need is love. Living with good and bad I always look up to you Now we’re left cold and sad By someone the devil’s best friend Someone who offended all. We’re living in a bad dream They’ve forgotten all about mankind And you were the one they backed up to the wall All those years ago You were the one who Imagined it all All those years ago. Deep in the darkest night I send out a prayer to you Now in the world of light Where the spirit free of the lies And all else that we despised. They’ve forgotten all about God He’s the only reason we exist Yet you were the one that they said was so weird All those years ago You said it all though not many had ears All those years ago You had control of our smiles and our tears All those years ago
Blow Away
Day turned black, sky ripped apart Rained for a year 'til it dampened my heart Cracks and leaks The floorboards caught rot About to go down I had almost forgot. All I got to do is to love you All I got to be is, be happy All it’s got to take is some warmth to make it Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away. Sky cleared up, day turned to bright Closing both eyes now the head filled with light Hard to remember what a state I was in Instant amnesia Yang to the Yin. All I got to do is to love you All I got to be is, be happy All it’s got to take is some warmth to make it Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away. Wind blew in, cloud was dispersed Rainbows appearing, the pressures were burst Breezes a-singing, now feeling good The moment had passed Like I knew that it should. All I got to do is to love you All I got to be is, be happy All it’s got to take is some warmth to make it Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away.
Cheer Down
(from "Lethal Weapon 2" Soundtrack) I can see by your grin That you’re trembling within It’s all over town, cheer down And the smile on your face Is sometimes out of place Don’t mind, no frowns, cheer down. If your hair should fall If your shares should crash You’ll get by even without getting a rash There’s no tears to be shed I’m gonna love you instead I want you around, cheer down. When your teeth drop out You’ll get by even without taking a bite If your dog should be dead I’m gonna love you instead The world loves a clown, cheer down. I want you around, cheer down
Cloud Nine
Have my love It fits you like a glove Join my dream, tell me yes Bail out should there be a mess The pieces you don’t need are mine Take my time I’ll show you cloud nine Take my smile and my heart They were yours from the start The pieces to omit are mine Have my love Use it while it does you good Share my highs but the times That it hurts pay no mind The pieces you don’t need are mine I’ll see you there on cloud nine Take my hope Maybe even share a joke If there’s good to be shown You may make it all your own And if you want to quit that’s fine While you’re out looking for cloud nine

Here Comes The Moon
Everybody’s talking up a storm Act like they don’t notice it But here it is and here it comes . . . Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon. Impulse always quickens when it’s full As it turns my head around me Yes it does and here it comes Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon. God’s gift I see that’s moving up there into the night . . . Though dark the mirror in the sky reflects us our light: Looks like a little brother to the sun Or mother to the stars at night And here it is and here it comes Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon. Breath is always taken when it’s new Enhance upon the clouds around it Yes it is and here it comes Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon.

Poor little girl With her head in the air There’s a poorly sick world all around you Poor horny boy One thing on his mind That poor little girl He must find you [Chorus:] There’s a whole lotta love Shaking inside of me And I must figure out why it’s there There’s a bottomless heart That’s hooked into all of you And it’s wondering how much you care Poor little girl With a whole in her heart There’s a poorly sick world all around you Poor horny boy One thing on his mind That poor little girl He must find you There’s a whole lotta love Shaking inside of me And I must figure out why it’s there There’s a bottomless heart Hooked into all of you And it’s wondering how much you care Poor little boy Head in a whirl There’s a phony slick world all around you That poor little girl With her head in the air That poor little boy he must find you There’s a whole lotta love Shaking inside of me And I must figure out why it’s there There’s a bottomless heart Hooked into all of you And it’s wondering how much you care There’s a need and desire I have To express what’s inside of me I must figure it out while it’s still there And an endless amout of Of a joy that you touch me with Thought it’s almost too much for me to bear Poor little girl
That’s The Way It Goes
There’s a man talking on the radio What he’s saying I don’t really know Seems he’s lost some stocks and shares Stops and stares He’s afraid I know That’s the way it goes There’s a man talking of the promised land He’ll aquire it with some Krugerrand Subdivide and deal it out Feel his clout He can stoop so low And that’s the way it goes There’s an actor who hopes to fit the bill Sees a shining city on a hill Step up close and see he’s blind Wined and dined All he has is pose And that’s the way it goes There’s a fire that burns away the lies Manifesting in the spiritual eye Though you won’t understand the way I feel You conceal, all there is to know That’s the way it goes
Wake Up My Love
Here I go again Hear that knockin' won’t you let me in Only want that same old thing Yet it’s me here ring, ring, ring I want your love Wake up my love And let it in Well you know it’s me out here Can’t give up now let us make that clear All I’ve had’s the run around Though I’m barking like some hound I want your love Wake up my love And let it in I want your love Wake up my love And let it in My life’s been so many ways Too much darkness gets me crazed All around us people fight Christ I’m looking for some light Inside your love Wake up my love And let it in I don’t have no friends of mine Who can swing me down that vine Not much sense in what I do That is why I’m calling you Inside my love Wake up my love And let it in I want your love Wake up my love And let it in I want your love Wake up my love And let it in
