"Blood Brothers"

"Blood Brothers"



So my friend
Voices from the past reunite at last
Back when we grew up on the streets
The world was at our feet

Do you recall the two of us
How we used th sing when everything
Was new to us

From the time that we were old
Enough to stand
It was you and I together to the end

Oh, what our souls believe we will
Always be
Blood brothers time can't divide
What our hearts have said with a
Drop of red
Blood brothers till the end

Through these years
Time has not been kind to others left behind
These streets where you and I once played
Nothing's left today

What happened to the dreams we shared
Do we just go on like it was
Never there

Do I tell you that there's hope beyond
These walls
That to help you I'd do anything at all

What our souls believe we will
Always be
Blood brothers time can't divide
What our hearts have said with a
Drop of red
Blood brothers, the bond we made never
Will break
Blood brothers to the end

"Boogie Wonderland"

"Boogie Wonderland"



Dance boogie
wonderland
dance boogie wonderland
Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts,
of men who need more than they get
daylight deals a bad hand,
to a woman that has laid to many bets

The mirror stares you in the face and says
"baby, uh uh it don't work"
you say your prayers through you don't care
you dance and shake the hurt
dance boogie wonderland
dance boogie wonderland

Sound fly through the night
I chase my vinyl drams to boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland

All the love in the world can't be gone
all the need to be loved can't be wrong
All the records are playing
and my heart keeps saying
"boogie wonderland, wonderland"
dance boogie wonderland
dance boogie wonderland

All the love in the world can't be gone
all the need to be loved can't be wrong
All the records are playing
and my heart keeps saying
"boogie wonderland, wonderland"
dance boogie wonderland
dance boogie wonderland

"Build Your Nest"

"Build Your Nest"



Build yo' nest
Build yo' nest
Build yo' nest
Build yo' nest on tenderness

The nest is yo' home and launcin' pad
Vibes ain't good gotcha' feelin' sad

Build yo' nest on love that tells it all
Gives you the strength to walk mighty tall

With a song in yo' heart most every day,
is what you need along the way

Things get rough, pain comes around
Put up yo' dukes, knock it to the ground

If it get back up, do it over again
Smack it hard on it's chinny-chin-chin

Now things around you can't do you no wrong
Think about love in yo' happy home

"Burnin' Bush"

"Burnin' Bush"



What does it take to
show an illustration
Of the hurt and the pain of a nation.
One glowing look upon a ragged canvas
Tells the story of our past and present situation

That old bush just keeps on burning
Nobody seems to show they're learning
That old bush just keeps on burning.
I wonder will we ever feel the flame.

Our way of life on total exhibition
Shows the way in which we live of an
Imperfect nation.
This tree of life so far from perfeciton
Share a little love to improve our situation.

That old bush just keeps on burning
Share the hope for future learning
I wonder will we ever feel the flame

Flow of light could really stand a listen
Bring the dark to the light, show us
What we've been missing.
Not many men are satisfied
Without no light, there ain't no pride

There's gonna come a time,
Things that are on your mind.
Trust and you will find
Everything in your mind
True love is here to find
Simple as number 9
Multiply you will find
Peace and love all the time.

Reachin' up there for ya children

"Can't Hide Love"

"Can't Hide Love"



You want my love and you can't deny
you know it's true, but you try to hide
You turn down love like it's really bad
You can't give what you never had
Well bless your soul, you can fool a few
But, I know the truth and so do you

You can't hide love, you can't now
You can't hide love, it's got ya
Betcha you want my love, I betcha
You can't hide feeling inside

You can't pretend there's nothing there
Girl, I look in your eyes, I see you care
So why not stop trying to run and hide
You won't find out, if you never try,

You can't hide love, you can't now
You can't hide love, it's got ya
Betcha want my love, I betcha
You can't hide feeling inside

Love has found the time to kiss you
can you find the time to listen
Life found the time to bug you
can you find the time for blessing.

"Can't Let Go"

"Can't Let Go"



Love that is born in truth, all
The doubt removed-lover's eyes
Are blessed only sees the best-

I can't let go, of a love that
Grows, you're my woman. Baby love
You know I love you, so

Empty hearts are free, bring,
Your love to me-soul chase the moon
Shadows, hug the room-turn off the
Light and sneak in bed at night-
Darkness shut its eyes, Baby, I
Open mine to you

I can't let go, of a love that
Grows, you're my woman, baby love
You know I love you so

"Celebrate"

"Celebrate"


Seasons change, they rearrange
So why can't you and I - say why
Thoughts we find, are so unkind
We often have to cry - but why

[Chorus:]
Celebrate, change your thoughts to love
Celebrate, what you're thinking of
Time ain't long, soon we'll be moving on,
Moving on...

Nature's way for her to say in perfect harmony
Find your place, your past erased
For life's new destiny.

[Chorus:]
Celebrate, change your thoughts to love
Celebrate, what you're thinking of
Time ain't long, soon we'll be moving on,
Moving on...

"Change Your Mind"

"Change Your Mind"



You said you've had it
With insensitive guys
Not keepin their promise
And telling sweet lies
When he stopped callin
All of your dreams fell though

I've seen you troubled
I've seen you cry
I think I know
How to treat you right
I just wanna give my sweet love to you

How can I change your mind
I got so much to show you
If you give me the time
I could change your mind
It won't be the same
The sun's gonna shine

How can I change your mind
I got so much to show you
If you give me the time
I could change your mind
It won't be the same
The sun's gonna shine

I'm here to tell you
We're not all the same
For what I'm guilty
I'll take the blame
It's important to you
Have a love that's real

I won't be unfaithful
I won't be unkind
Independently trusting
Is this heart of mine
I'll keep it comin
And that is the deal

I want to change your mind
I got so much to show you
If you give me the time
I could change your mind
It won't be the same
The sun's gonna shine
Gonna shine-
I, I, I'm gonna
Change your mind

"Chicago (Chi-Town) Blues"

"Chicago (Chi-Town) Blues"


Booker T's at the front door
Saying it's time to go
Coltrane's at the mother blues tonight
63rd to southshore
We're cruising in the Dyna-Flo
Ain't no way they let us play, but then they might

Fourteen years not a one day more, yeah
Struttin' my stuff up and down the floor
Haven't you heard this groove before?

[Chorus 1:]
Ba da bop ba dee-ah ba dee-ah
Ba da bop bop ba do-ah do-ay
I'll never lose chicago blues
Ba da bop bop ba do-ah do-ay

We tried to be cool, yeah
Flat tops up stove-pipes down
Finding out the good stuff
You never gonna learn in school
Comes easy in this part of town

I brought my sticks, we're sittin' in, all night
Better be quick, gotta hold on tight
It's gonna be a real jam down delight

[Chorus 2:]
Ba da bop ba dee-ah ba dee-ah
Ba da bop bop ba do-ah do-ay
I'll never lose chicago blues
Send that drummer home and
let me play [Repeat]

Ba da bop ba dee-ah ba dee-ah
Ba da bop bop ba do-ah do-ay
Ee-yay ee-yeay ee-yay ee-yay
Ba da bop bop ba do-ah do-ay

Ba dee-ah ba dee-ah
Ee-yay ee-yeay ee-yay ee-yay
Ba da bop bop ba do-ah do-ay
