TREAT MYSELF
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
There’s a place I can go
When the tension is 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 thing as “war”
There’s no black and no white
Rainbow colors they, dress the day and nights, life’s 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
It’s 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 overlasting pleasure
If your life’s in a place
That you can hardly bare
Come along with me to mental ecxtasy
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
Wahtsoever things are lovely
Whatsoever things are pure
Whatsoever things are honest
Whatsoever things are true
BLACK MAN
***************
First man to die
For the flag we now hold high
Was a black man
The ground were we stand
With the flag held in our hand
Was first the red man’s
Guide of a ship
On the first Columbus trip
Was a brown man
The railroads for trains
Came on tracking that was laid
By the yellow man
We pledge allegiance
All our lives
To the magic colors
Red, blue and white
But we all must be given
The liberty that we defend
For with justice not for all men
History will repeat again
It’s time we learned
This World Was Made For All Men
Heart surgery
Was first done successfully
By a black man
Friendly man who died
But helped the pilgrims to survive
Was a red man
Farm workers rights
Were lifted to new heights
By a brown man
Incandescent light
Was invented to give sight
By the white man
We pledge allegiance
All our lives
To the magic colors
Red, blue and white
But we all must be given
The liberty that we defend
For with justice not for all men
History will repeat again
It’s time we learned
This World Was Made For All Men
Hear me out…
Now I know the birthday of a nation
Is a time when a country celebrates
But as your hand touches your heart
Remember we all played a part in America
To help that banner wave
First clock to be made
In America was created
By a black man
Scout who used no chart
Helped lead Lewis and Clark
Was a red man
Use of martial arts
In our country got its start
By a yellow man
And the leader with a pen
Signed his name to free all men
Was a white man
We pledge allegiance
All our lives
To the magic colors
Red, blue and white
But we all must be given
The liberty that we defend
For with justice not for all men
History will repeat again
It’s time we learned
This World Was Made For All Men
This world was made for all men
This world was made for all men
This world was made for all men
God saved His world for all men
All people
All babies
All children
All colors
All races
This world’s for you
and me
This world
My world
Your world
Everybody’s world
This world
Their world
Our world
This world was made for all men

THESE THREE WORDS
***************
When was the last time
That they heard you say
Mother or father, I love you
And when was the last time
That they heard you say
Daughter or son, I love you
Ones you say you cherish everyday
Can instantly be taken away
Then you’d say I know this can’t be true
When you never took the time
To simply tell them “I love you”
When was the last time
That they heard you say
Sister or brother, I love you
And when was the last time
That they heard you say
Darling or best friend, I love you
The one for whom you’d give your very life
Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye
Through you tears you’d ask why did you go
Knowing you didn’t always show
Just how much you loved them so
