"Eye On The Prize"

"Eye On The Prize"


Thinkin' back on my younger years,
When it was fairy tales and childhood schemes
I remember watching my father play
He was the hero of all my dreams

I said daddy: I wanna be in a working band
Daddy, I wanna be the best I can
He said: Keep your eye on the prize, keep your eye on the prize
One day you'll find there's a light and it shines for you

All my dreams of yesterday
Coming back through the eyes of my son
I sit back and I watch him play
Realise that live just begun

I said daddy: I wanna be in a working band
Daddy, I wanna be the best I can
He said: Keep your eye on the prize, keep your eye on the prize
One day you'll find there's a light and it shines for you

So keep on moving
You gotta keep pushing with your feet on the ground
You can't turn around, nothing comes easy
Nobody's gonna help you
Keep your eye on the prize
Keep your eye on the prize
Keep your eye on the prize
One day you'll find there's a light and it's shining
One day you'll find there's a light and it's shining
One day you'll find there's a light and it shines for you.

"Feels Like Forever"

"Feels Like Forever"


I saw you
That was all I had to see
Why don't you
Had to have you next to me
From that moment
I knew that you'd be all I'd ever need
And there's a place inside my heart
Nobody's touched before
And when I found you
I found all that I'd been searching for
You turned my world around

All I know
Is that it feels like forever
All I know
Yes I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never wanna see it slip away
I'll never let you go
Is all I know

Hold me
Love is you trust in me
Is telling me
Let's put our hearts and hands and faith
Time will tell us
If what we've got was worth the wait
And there's a fire that's been burning deep inside of me
And I don't need nobody else
'Cause now you're here with me
You've turned my world around

All I know
That it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go
Is all I know

I might have never met you
At another time or place
Never I never could forget you
I could never walk away
That's all I know
'Cause there's a place inside my heart
Nobody's touched before
And when I found you
I found all that I'd been searching for
You've turned my world around

All I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go

All I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go
It's all I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together

"Fever"

"Fever"


You give me fever
In the morning
You give me fever
In the evening
Fever when you hold me tight

Never knew how much I loved you
Never knew how much I cared
When you put your arms around me
I get a feeling that's so hard to bear

You give me fever
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
You give me fever
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night

The sun lights up the daytime
The moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And I know you're gonna treat me right

You give me fever
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
You give me fever
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night

Everybody
Everybody
Gives you fever
That is something we all know
Something we all know
Fever isn't
Such a new thing
Fever started long time ago
You give me fever

Never knew how much I loved you
Never knew how much I cared
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's too hard to bear

You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
You give me fever
Oh I'm on fire
Fever all through the night
All through the night
You give me fever
I'm burning up
Fever all through the night
You give me fever to my bones
You give me fever
Fever
Ah when you kiss me
You give me fever
I've got a feeling that's so hard to bear
Fever all through the night
You give me fever
Fever
Fever
You give me fever

"Fire It Up"

"Fire It Up"


She's sitting staring out a window
Trying to figure out just what to do
The last time that she gave her heart away
It came back broken in two
Like an old abandoned car
She parked it down off Lonely Avenue
And she forget about it till the day
She laid her eves on you

And her heart said: "Fire it up"
And her soul said: "Fire it up"
And her mind said: "Fire it up"
Let love live again

He's sitting in a subway station
Watching as the trains go flying by
He used to hate the black man till a black man
Reached out and saved his life
He was pulled out of the darkness
Rescued and blinded by the light
Ain't it crazy how one simple act of kindness
Can open up our eyes

And her heart said: "Fire it up"
And her soul said: "Fire it up"
And her mind said: "Fire it up"
Let love live again

Here we are together you and me
Still trying to figure out the world
Searching for a reason to believe
What makes this big ball turn?
But if we hold on to each other
Give love, show love for all love's worth
Yeah, they might call us crazy
But, tell me who's it gonna hurt?
Who's it gonna hurt?

And her heart said: "Fire it up"
And her soul said: "Fire it up"
And her mind said: "Fire it up"
Let love live again

And her heart said: "Fire it up"
And her soul said: "Fire it up"
And her mind said: "Fire it up"
Let love live again

"First We Take Manhattan"

"First We Take Manhattan"


They Sentanced Me To Twenty Years Of Boredom
For Trying To Change The System From Within
I'M Coming Now
I'M Coming To Reward Them

First We Take Manhattan
Then We Take Berlin

I'M Guided By A Signal In The Heavens
I'M Guided By The Birthmark On My Skin
I'M Guided By The Beauty Of Our Weapons

First We Take Manhattan
Then We Take Berlin

I'D Really Like To Live Beside You Baby
I Love Your Body And Your Spirit And Your Clothes
But You See That Line That'S Moving
Through The Station

I Told You
I Told You
I Told You I Was One Of Those

I Don'T Like Your Fashion Business Mister
I Don'T Like Those Drugs That Keep You Thin
I Don'T Like What Happened To My Sister

First We Take Manhattan
Then We Take Berlin

"Forever Changed"

"Forever Changed"


Close your eyes and visualize
That day in spring, the moment when I met you
From the start down in my heart
I knew for sure I never would forget you

Now I see what I used to be
I’ll never be again
I remain forever changed

You touched my hand and life began
As I stood there staring at the manger
Time stood still when you revealed
That tender smile to a perfect stranger

Now I see what I used to be
I’ll never be again
I remain forever changed

You took hold of a wandering soul
And gave this heart a home
All that’s left of the man I knew
Thanks to you is gone

All these years and you’re still here
Like a rock standing by and steady
For what its worth when I leave this earth
Because of you I know that I’ll be ready

Now I see what I used to be
I’ll never be again
I remain forever changed
I remain forever changed
Forever changed

"Forgive Me Now"

"Forgive Me Now"


Forgive me now
I think I've missed my whole reason
I'm ashamed for things I left undone

Don't break away
Sometimes we all need your protection
Even the mildest form of love is love
I get high hopes
And I have new dreams
Then comes a strong wave of emotion
And they scatter through the fingers of my life

Come save me now
I think I pay more attention
I guess I was rollin' way to high (to hear)

Don't break away
Sometimes we all need your protection
Even the mildest form of love is love
I get high hopes
I have new dreams
Then comes a strong wave of emotion
And they scatter through the fingers of my life

And I get high hopes
I have new dreams
Then comes a strong wave of emotion
And they scatter through the fingers of my life

"Fun Time"

"Fun Time"


Got a few jingles jangle in my pocket
And I got a couple that don't make no noise
See, I'm all fired up just like a rocket
And the stars above are just a few of my toys

It's fun time, it's fun time
Let yourself be happy, it's fun time
Shake time, you deserve a break time
It's fun time for U S all

I've got a new resolution
That is if my mojo wanna disco hand
Got my mind set on a good time
You can come along whatever shape you're in

It's fun time, fun time
Let yourself be happy, it's fun time
Shake time, you deserve a break time
It's fun time for U S all

Sayin' it's fun time, fun time
Let yourself be happy, it's fun time
Shake time, you deserve a break time
It's fun time for U S all

Fun time, fun time
Let yourself be happy, it's fun time
Shake time, you deserve a break time
It's fun time for U S all

"Get On"

"Get On"


Hey

Well, you've been wearing your burden like a two ton chain
Take it off, throw it down
Send that petty party packing on the midnight train
Get it gone, ship it out

Call him all curvy, skinny, don't matter ugly, pretty
Let's talk it down and dirty

If you wanna catch a ride through a good time
This is a song, get on
And if you wanna have a party, we can start it right
What you waiting on, get on

Don't let it slip away, it's all about today
Hear all the people say, get on, baby, get on

We got that boom, boom, bumping like a downtown quake
Wake it up, shake it down
We got the girls, all jumping at the Tucson Lake
Feel the love moving 'round

The party's getting hotter, we got the fire, water
Turn up some Joe Cocker

If you wanna catch a ride through a good time
This is a song, get on
And if you wanna have a party, we can start it right
What you waiting on, get on

Don't let it slip away, it's all about today
Hear all the people say, oh, get on, baby, get on

Get on, get on
Get on, get on, get on, get on, help me, ladies
Get on, get on, get on, get on, turn it up
Get on, get on, get on, get on, turn it up
Get on, get on, get on, get on all day

If you wanna catch a ride through a good time
This is a song, get on
And if you wanna have a party, we can start it right
What you waiting on, get on

Don't let it slip away, it's all about today
Hear all the people say right now

We'll get you feeling right, just rock it and we'll talk
We'll rock it all night
Oh, get on, baby, get on, life, get on
Don't let the meek get on, that was get on

"Girl From The North Country"
(originally by Bob Dylan)

"Girl From The North Country"
(originally by Bob Dylan)



If you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was the true love of mine.

If you go when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see if she's a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds.

Please see if her hair hangs long
If it rolls and flows all down her breast
Please see from me if her hair hangs long
That's the way I remember her best.

I'm a-wonderin' if she remember me at all
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day.

So if you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine.
