TOO SHY TO SAY
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
You make me smile
You make me sing
You make me feel good everything
You bring me up
When I’ve been down
This only happens when you’re around
And I can’t go on this way…
With it stronger every day…
But being too shy to say
That I really love you…
I wanna fly
Away with you
Until there’s nothing more for us to do
I wanna be
More than a friend
Until the end of an endless end
And I can’t go on this way…
With it stronger every day…
But being too shy to say
That I really love you…
And I can’t go on this way…
Feelin’ it stronger every day…
But being too shy to say
That I really love you
Ohh.. ooh…
I… do…
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 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 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 on all mankind
Cause we are out of order and so out of line
SAME OLD STORY
***************
Born to open for
Mankind nature’s door
A life known by a few
And those who knew that shared
Their knowledge fewer cared
About what plants could do
For most felt it was mad to conceive
That plants thought, felt, and moved quite like we
But with instruments Bose would devise
Would take Science itself by a surprise, so
On we go to where who knows
To a place where there’s still non-believers
What will it take for heaven sakes
For those who find what’s real too hard to believe in
It’s that same old story again.
Born of slaves who died
Too soon to realize
The need his life would be
Selflessy he gave
His wisdom to a way
Where first no minds would see
He said if farm land was to be rich
We must plant crops to replenish it
But it took him persuasion and tests
To convince them Canver’s way was best, so
On we go to where who knows
To a place where there’s still non-believers
What will it take for heaven sakes
For those who find what’s real too hard to believe in
It’s that same old story again.
THINK OF ME AS YOUR SOLDIER
***************
Think of me as your soldier
The man whose life is for you
And the sweet love
That’s greater than time has known
Think of me as your soldier
Through worlds of hate I’m for you
Tho’ the darkness hits me ever hard
I’ll stand long
And we’ll be lovers seeing love by heaven’s light
Lovers dreaming dreams each blessed by night
I will find the promised paradise
With you there I’ll spend my life
In our hearts there are no others
We are bound as two lovers
To give the great eternal love
And we’ll be lovers seeing love by heaven’s light
Lovers dreaming dreams each blessed by night
I will find the promised paradise
With you there I’ll spend my life
I’ll spend my life
Think of me, girl, as your soldier
Through worlds of pain I’m for you
To give an endless love
To give an endless love
To give an endless love
To you….

VILLAGE GHETTO LAND
***************
Would you like to go with me
Down my dead end street
Would you like to come with me
To Village Ghetto Land
See the people lock their doors
While robbers laugh and steal
Beggars watch and eat their meal -from garbage cans
Broken glass is everywhere
It’s a bloody scene
Killing plagues the citizens
Unless they own police
Children play with rusted cars
Sores cover their hands
Politicians laugh and drink-drunk to all demands
Families buying dog food now
Starvation roams the streets
Babies die before they’re born
Infected by the grief
Now some folks say that we should be
Glad for what we have
Tell me would you be happy in Village Ghetto Land
Village Ghetto Land
