Twinkle twinkle
Little me
I have a lonely life
I’m the star
Upon your tree
That makes your christmas bright
Twinkle twinkle little me
I left the milky way
Just so I could be with you on christmas day
Christmas brought me where you are
And heaven gave me life
I’m that friendly little star
You wish upon each night
Twinkle twinkle
Oh, twinkle twinkle little me
I have a present too
If you give unshelfishly
And make a wish come true
I’ll always shine on you
Twinkle little me
Twinkle twinkle little me
Ooh, christmas brought me where you are
And heaven gave me life
I’m that friendly star
You wish upon each night
Twinkle twonkle little me
I have a present too
If you give unshelfishly
And make a wish come true
I’ll always shine for you
Twinkle little me
I’ll always shine for you
Twinkle little me
I’ll always shine for you
NGICUELELA ES UNA HISTORIA I AM SINGING
***************
Ngiculela ikusasg
Ngliyacula nao thando
Ngicula ngelinyi langa
Uthando luyobusa
Jikelele kulomblada wethu
Es una historia de manana
Es una historia de amor
Es una historia que amor reinera
Por nuestro mundo
Es una historia de mi corazon
There’s songs to make you smile
There’s songs to make you sad
But with an happy song to sing
It never seems so bad
To me came this melody
So I’ve tried to put in words how I feel
Tomorrow will be for you and me
I am singing of topmorrow
I am singing of love
I am singing someday love will reign
Througout this world of ours
I am singing of love from my heart
Let’s all sing someday sweet love will reign
Througout this world of ours
Let’s start singing
Of love from our hearts
Let’s start singing
Of love from our hearts
SO WHAT THE FUSS
***************
If I’m caught at a dance party without my dancin shoes
And everybody dances on my bare feet
Shame on me
If I’m mindin my business just doin the right thing
And you try to front me off in the street
Shame on you
If a family’s waiting for that special blessing to
come their way
But they ain’t tryin to get on their knees and pray
Shame on them
And if we live in a time where every nation’s fightin
’round the world
Yet we can’t all agree that peace is the way
Shame on us
Shame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on us
So what the fuss
If I gotta get up early in the morning for a job
interview
And I forget to set the stupid alarm
Shame on me
If my children are playin outside like little children do
And you come ’round there tryin to bring them some harm
Shame on you
Should I be drivin thru a klantown, find a restaurant
to get me some food
And someone says “hey boy, we don’t serve your kind”
Shame on them
And if we live in a democracy and you don’t use your
power to vote
Knowin some would like to turn back the hands of time
Shame on us
Shame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on us
So what the fuss
If I’m hooked on a habit knowin damn well it could
cost me my life
Yet I keep doin what I should do without
Shame on me
If you’re locked in a marriage and your other half
just gives you abuse
Yet you’ve convinced yourself that there’s no way out
Shame on you
If we’re jammin the music and somebody’s got the
audacity
To say that they can jam it better than us
Shame on them
And should there be just a handful that believe that
we are totally free
And there’s no need to fight for equality
Shame on us
Shame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on us
So what the fuss
THEY WON’T GO WHEN I GO
***************
No more lying friends
Wanting tragic ends
Though they do pretend
They won’t go when I go
All those bleeding hearts
With sorrows to impart
Were right here from the start
And they won’t go when I go
And I’ll go where I’ve longed
To go so long
Away from tears
Gone from painful cries
Away from saddened eyes
Along with him I’ll bide
Because they won’t go when I go
Big men feeling small
Weak ones standing tall
I will watch them fall
They won’t go when I go
And I’ll go where I’ve longed
To go so long
Away from tears
Unclean minds mislead the pure
The innocent will leave for sure
For them there is a resting place
People sinning just for fun
They will never see the sun
For they can never show their faces
There ain’t no room for the hopeless sinner
Who will take more than he will give
He ain’t hardly gonna give
The greed of man will be
Far away from me
And my soul will be free
They won’t go when I go
Since my soul conceived
All that I believe
The kingdom I will see
‘Cause they won’t go when I go
When I go
Where I’ll go
No one can keep me
From my destiny.
WEAKNESS
***************
Everytime I think our love is drifting apart
Something always throws it back together
And everytime I think I’ve found someone new for my heart
After one kiss my heart tells me never
Oh everyone has got a weakness in life
Girl, you just happen to be mine
Oh everyone has got a certain weakness in life
Your love just happens to be mine
Everytime I think your love has no more to give
You do something more to take me higher
And everytime I think that for someone else I could live
I’d be living love out as a liar
Oh everyone has got a weakness in life
Girl, you just happen to be mine
Oh everyone has got a certain weakness in life
Your love just happens to be mine
We keep thinking that our love won’t last beyond tomorrow
But our hearts say we’re gonna stay in love this way
Oh everyone has got a weakness in life
Girl, you just happen to be mine
Oh everyone has got a certain weakness in life
Your love just happens to be mine
