Tough Love

Tough love ain't somethin' in the dictionary
Sometimes you want to run and hide
Tough love is not in the itinerary
When you bring it up it comes from deep inside

Tough love will take you to the edge of things
Tough love doesn't happen at night
Tough love is calling all the players in
Tough love is the starting of the fight

If you gonna play
Then you gotta say
You know that I am ready to pay

Tough love borders on the edge of hate
Tough love will take you to the line
Your friends sometimes become your enemies
And truth becomes apparent with the pass of time

Tough love is playing like the advocate
Tough love is doing it right
Tough love is meaning you'll initiate
Your own awareness and your own self might

If you gonna play
Then you gotta say
You know that I am ready to pay

If you gonna play
Then you gotta say
You know that I am ready to pay

Tough love is punching at the weaknesses
Tough love is when you light that spark
Tough love is love that is extraordinary
Coming from the deepest part of all our hearts

Tough love is not the fawning synchophant
Tough love doesn't have no smiles
Tough love is knowing when to carry through
And knowing that you'll make it through the rest of life

If you gonna play
Then you gotta say
You know that I am ready to pay


Power Of A Woman

The power of a woman is the power of love
They do anything that they're thinking of
She knows that she is always on your mind!

Where is she now? What is she doing?
What does she think she's always proving?
She knows that she is always on your mind?

She dresses to the limit, she dresses to the nines
Even in the most inappropriate times
She knows that she is always on your mind!

But when she feels that no one cares
She starts to think of more affairs
Never let her start to think she'll be alone

Then you take her in your arms and you hold her near
You tell her that you love her and you still her fear
You're only reassuring what she knows is in your heart!

Maybe she's trusting, maybe she's not
Never keep a secret of your deepest thoughts
You're only reassuring what she knows is in your heart!

Keeping her friendship, curing her health
The love you have between you is the greatest wealth!
You're only reassuring what she knows is in your heart!

But when she feels that no one cares
She starts to think of more affairs
Never let her start to think she'll be alone

Possibly comely, possibly homely
All of us are capable of feeling lonely
The power of a woman is the love that's in her soul!

Daytime smiles and nighttime tears
The coming and going of the passing years
The power of a woman is the love that's in her soul!

Women in the pictures, women in song
Women are the grace in the world gone wrong!
The power of a woman is the love that's in her soul!

But when she feels that no one cares
She starts to think of more affairs
Never let her start to think she'll be alone

But it really doesn't matter when the winds are blowing
Whether it's raining, or whether it's snowing
The sun shines down on all of us in love

The sun shines down on all of us
The love we are showing is not enough
The power of a woman is the power she feels in love!


Sleep Pretty Baby

Sleep pretty baby, sleep pretty baby

Sleep pretty baby and dream away your troubles
I'll keep the bogeyman away from your doors
Moonlight shinin' on your face through the window
Just close your eyes and you'll be able to soar
I said, flying with the freedom of a bird without gilded wings
Diving and climbing through the canyons of clouds
When you return you will be able to clearly see
You will awaken with peace and serenity
Sleep pretty baby, sleep pretty baby

Morning brings you clarity, the winds become your song
You can fill your life with joy, your days won't be so long
I say, moments full of happiness, moments full of love
Daydreams of the things you want, the things you're thinking of
Soon become reality, living in your heart
Make yourself a promise, that life becomes an art
And sleep pretty baby, sleep pretty baby

Smile pretty baby, and keep away from frowns
Never let them worry you, most of them are clowns
Sunsets come in red and gold, evenings come in blue
Stars are made for wishing on, most of them come true
Some nights it will rain a little, some nights it will pour
Some days will be difficult, some nights even more
Never let them worry you, that's what love is for
Set your heart on happiness, and open up the door
And sleep pretty baby, sleep pretty baby


Most Of Us Don't Understand At All

To walk a world that's full of wonder
Spoil the catch and see the hunter
Talk of tales of exploitation
I think I want an explanation
Further to the situation
Why we live in degradation
Most of us don't understand at all
Most of us don't understand at all

That human life is rent asunder
Loves defiled and dies in thunder
We are born with acclamation
Live to learn intimidation
Swell to proud exaggeration
Then we die in isolation
Most of us don't understand at all
Most of us don't understand at all
Most of us don't understand at all

Time is as we can conceive it
None of us have yet perceived it
Winds just pass in open ocean
Clouds can merge in constant motion
We are clouds in loves emotion
Rise to heights of joyous notion
Clouds create the universe of love
Clouds create the universe of love
Clouds create the universe of love


Money Dance

Kicking and clawing in this world of money
You're already in the middle of world war three
Backstabbing charlatans standing on a hallowed ground
Trying to tell you that you are free
When the banker tells you that it's gonna be alright
You know that he is talking 'bout his own security
With six billion people all trying to be the number one
I think that you can see where that will easily lead

But if you gonna fly with the wings of an eagle
Then you have to be an eagle at heart
Soaring through the circus of your own emotions
And striking out into the dark

'Cause it's a money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,

Money isn't everything
It'll never buy you peace of mind
It'll never buy you courage or pride
It'll never buy you the things that you want the most
The things you love that you feel inside
And you can be sure you will find out who your friends are
When you are broke they will not run and hide
They will always be there when you need them
When the world gets tough and the times get tried

But if you gonna fly with the wings of an eagle
Then you have to be an eagle at heart
Soaring through the circus of your own emotions
And striking out into the dark

'Cause it's a money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,

Yet the sun keeps shinin' in the brilliant skies
Even though they may be tinged with grey
There ain't no reason to keep on freakin' out
There ain't no reason throwin' life away
So many people in a world of trouble
How can this be in a world so bright?
With life all around you teeming in the distance
As far away as the farthest night

'Cause it's a money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Oh, money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance.
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance.
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance.
Oh, money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance.
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance.
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance.
Oh, money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance.
Money dance, money dance,
Money dance, money dance,
Money dance, money dance,
Money dance, money dance,
Money dance


One Way Ticket

Well I knew this was a one way ticket
But you know I had to come
The light that was shining from inside your soul
Told me this was home
You know I have to roam the world
And leave you all alone
I know it ain't the same as bein' there
This talkin' on the phone
But love wins out through sun and storm
And I love you till it's wrong
And all I really need from you tonight
Is to know that you'll be strong

And California's not that hot
Though it don't have that much rain
And all the greedy people and their money,
Well, they'll drive you 'bout insane
And the men keep fallin' all over you
They'll promise you the moon
But they'll break your heart from the very start
And say they'll be back soon
But we'll do our best like all the rest
Even when the times get hard
But if we keep on lovin' each other this way
We'll hold the winning card

Now the roses bloom outside our house
And the sun shines in our eyes
And there ain't much more that a man could want
Than a good woman by his side
You know you're a woman that inspires mens dreams
To makes us carry on
So keep on shinin' that light of yours
And listen to this song
And always try to be yourself
Don't worry what the others say
And I will always be right there
To help you in every way

So we knew this was a one way ticket
But you know we had to go
We found each other in a troubled world
And we've done the best we know
And I love you just the way you are
For me you got to do the same
We both are looking for some peace and freedom
In this Goddamn silly game
And I believe we'll make it through
If we keep our feelings clear
And let the wind blow through our hearts
And chase out all the fears.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.


Lost And Lonely

In the night for the lost and lonely
They will find that loves the only way for the light
To shine so bright for them
They will find it comes along
And it's always strong
You don't have to look, or read a book
It comes to you when you are through,
with the fight

It never fails to amaze me so
How the courage comes when the hard times grow
We find a way to always say, we'll make it now
We keep on truckin'
Now you find, it was in your mind,
The doubt you feel 'bout what is real
You know at once, you have to trust yourself

Now the love's in a hard cocoon
Blows away with the wind, and it bursts in bloom
The open heart, will do it's part, untold
It senses others,
long or brief, it's like a thief
It steals the soul, and makes it whole
And leaves in it's place, a filled up space
In the night.

In the night for the lost and lonely
They will find that loves the only way for the light
To shine so bright for them
They will find it comes along
And it's always strong
You don't have to look, or read a book
It comes to you when you are through,
with the fight


Big Rig

If you hear the sound of a thunder comin'
If you hear the sound of pain
Then you hear the sound of a war machine
Pourin' down deadly rain

You got to close your eyes
Try it on for size
You got to stop your lies to see
The big rig
Big rig

If you feel the suffering of a single wounded
If you feel their burning tears
If you feel the heart of a thousand refugees
You should feel it all your years

You got to close your eyes
Try it on for size
You got to stop your lies to see
The big rig
Big rig

If you see the eyes of a raging xenophobe
If you see the fear of change
If you see the anger of a racialist idiot
Then you know you're not so strange

You got to close your eyes
Try it on for size
You got to stop your lies to see

The big rig
Big rig

If you knew the power of the big rigs wonderment
If you knew the power of love
If you knew the power of a world in harmony
Then you gonna rise above

You got to close your eyes
Try it on for size
You got to stop your lies to see
The big rig
Big rig
You got to close your eyes
Try it on for size
You got to stop your lies to see
The big rig
Big rig, big rig, big rig, big rig,
Big rig, big rig, big rig, big rig,
Big rig


May Peace Prevail On Earth

"Throughout the limitless reaches of the universe, the only two constants are chaos and life.

"On one of the outermost limbs of the galaxy designated the Milky Way
There is a small solar system with a G-type star at its center.

"On the third planet from this star,
Due to the result of a combination of chemicals raised to consciousness,
There is a sentient species that has arrived at the moment of crucial decision.
Where harmony and acceptance insure life.
And greed and fear insure death.
What most of them don't realize, is that the only difference it makes is to them."


May peace prevail on earth
May peace be in our homes and countries
In these troubled times we live in
We will see the dark come light, oh
May peace prevail on earth tonight
In our lives.

May our missions be accomplished
May our deeds be won with joy
And we will thank the guardian deities
Thank the guardian spirit force, oh
May the ship of peace be on her course
Toward all shores.

And the sages make their statements
And the statesmen have their say
And we will learn that wisdom comes
From mistakes we've made upon the way, oh
May peace be here to stay
In our day.

We are gathered here for freedom
We are gathered here in might
To show our children the solutions
That come from peace and why it's right, oh
May peace prevail on Earth tonight
In our lives.

And the distant mountains beckon
And the skies will heed our cry
And space awaits the joy of mankind
As we ask the reasons why, oh
Yet peace is not so high
It lies inside.

Of every being there is vision
Each man and woman has a voice
If we can work together in harmony
We bring peace out from it's source, oh
Let all of us rejoice
And raise our voice.

For war is not the answer
It is not the strongest force
It's love that binds us all together
And guides the shape of histories course, oh
Let all of us rejoice
And raise our voice.

May peace prevail on earth
May peace be in our homes and countries
In these troubled times we live in
We will see the dark come light, oh
May peace prevail on earth tonight
In our lives.
