OUTSIDE MY WINDOW

Much has been written about
The world and all its kind of loves
But the sweetest of them all
You seldom will find stories of, oh oh oh oh
My love lives outside my window
Clouds burst to give water
So her love can grow, oh
My love smiles to me each morning
Says she’ll never leave me and I know it’s so
La-La-La-La
La-La-La La-La-La
La-La-La La-La
You don’t have to look around
Or ask yourself if she is there
‘Cause the fragrance of her love
Says hi with every breath of air, oh oh oh oh
La-La-La-La
La-La-La La-La-La
La-La-La La-La
You will often hear her name
Describing another’s prettiness
But if ever there was choice
My flower would be the prettiest, oh oh oh oh
My love lives outside my window
Clouds burst to give water
So her love can grow, oh
My love smiles to me each morning
Says she’ll never leave me and I know it’s so
La-La-La-La
La-La-La La-La-La
La-La-La La-La
SATURN
***************
Packing my bags-going away
To a place where the air is clean
On saturn
There’s no sense to sit and watch the people die
We don’t fight our wars the way you do
We put back all the things we use
On Saturn
There’s no sense to keep on doing such crimes
There’s no principles in what you say
No direction in the things you do
For your world is soon to come to a close
Through the ages all great men have taught
Truth and happiness just can’t be bought-or sold
Tell me why are you people so cold
I’m……
Going back to Saturn where the rings all glow
Rainbow, moonbeams and orange snow
On Saturn
People live to be two hundred and five
Going back to saturn where the people smile
Don’t need cars cause we’ve learn to fly
On Saturn
Just to live to us is our natural high
We have come here many times before
To find your strategy to peace is war
Killing helpless men, women and children
That don’t even know what they are dying for
We can’t trust you when you take a stand
With a cold expression on your face
Saying give us what we want or we’ll destroy
I’m……
Going back to Saturn where the rings all glow
Rainbow, moonbeams and orange snow
On Saturn
People live to be two hundred and five
Going back to saturn where the people smile
Don’t need cars cause we’ve learn to fly
On Saturn
Just to live to us is our natural high
BEDTIME FOR TOYS
***************
Close your eyes, beddy bye tin soldier,
Mommy says that it’s time for sleep,
If my folks were wiser and older,
They’d know kids and toys don’t need sleep.
Don’t be bad little cotton dolly,
See how nice Mickey Mouse sleeps now?
Even my brass drummer boy has stopped all his noise,
Cause he knows it’s past bedtime for toys.
Ya know, every Christmas Santa Claus goes all over the world with his reindeer,
sled, and a big bag of toys and he’ll come to your house this year too.
But sometimes, just sometimes, he doesn’t have enough time to see every little boy and girl because the world is so big.
So maybe we should sing a song for all the children that Santa didn’t visit.
Bless the child who has no tin soldier,
No brass drummer boy to put to bed.
He will still grow wiser and older,
Loving one small rag doll instead.
He won’t have a cotton dolly,
Mickey Mouse won’t come to his house.
Hold that rag doll to your heart, nothing can destroy
The beauty one shall find in one small toy.
HEAVEN IS 10 ZILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY
***************
They say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away
And just the pure at heart will walk her righteous streets someday
They say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away
But if there is a God, we need Him now
“Where is your God”
That’s what my friends ask me
And I say it’s taken Him so long
‘Cause we’ve got so far to come…
Tell me people
Why can’t they say that hate is 10 zillion light years away
Why can’t the light of good shine God’s love in every soul
Why must my color black make me a lesser man
I thought this world was made for every man
He loves us all, that’s what my God tells me
And I say it’s taken Him so long
‘Cause we’ve got so far to come…
But in my heart I can feel it, yeah,
Feel His spirit wow oh woo…
Feel it, yeah, feel His spirit…
I… can’t say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away
But if so let all be pure at heart
Just to walk her righteous streets I pray
Let God’s love shine within to save our evil souls
For those who don’t believe will never see the light
“Where is my God” – He lives inside of me
And I say it’s taken Him so long
‘Cause we’ve got so far to come…
No people, “where is your God?”
Inside please let Him be
And I say it’s taken Him so long
‘Cause we’ve got so far to come…
But if you open your heart you can feel it yeah yeah
Feel His spirit, yeah
Feel it, feel His spirit, wow oh wow…
Feel it, you can feel His spirit
I opened my heart one morning and
I sho nuff could feel it yeah yeah
Feel His spirit yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You can feel it, yeah, feel His spirit
You can feel it, yeah, feel His spirit
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
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
LOOKIN’ FOR ANOTHER PURE LOVE
***************
Never tears or sorrows came before me in my mind,
I had no problems, never a problem in my life,
Never a worry on my mind
All my days before today were happy,
And secure until your phone call,
You were tellin’ me goodbye
Now I’m lookin’ for another love,
I’m lookin’ for another pure love in my life
And I’m lookin’ for another love,
I’m lookin’ for another pure love in my life
Now the wheel of fate has turned,
I’m worried ’bout the new love you’ve discovered,
He is a problem in my life,
I have a problem on my mind
Things you cherish most in your life,
Can be taken if they’re left neglected,
Leavin’ a problem in your life
‘Cause now I’m lookin’ for another love,
I’m lookin’ for another pure love in my life, ooh,
And now I’m lookin’ for another love,
And now I’m lookin’ for another love,
I’m lookin’ for another pure love in my life, ooh,
I’m lookin’ for another love,
I’m lookin for another pure love in my life
