Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world with one hand.

Reach Out And Touch
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
(just try)
Take a little time out of your busy day
To give encouragement
To someone who's lost the way
(just try)
Or would i be talking to a stone
If i asked you
To share a problem that's not your own
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
(just try)
If you see an old friend on the street
And he's down
Remember his shoes could fit your feet
(just try)
Try a little kindness you'll see
It's something that comes very naturally
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Why don't you (why don't you)
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can

If I Had The World To Give
If I had the world to give, Id give it to you
Long as you live, would you let it fall, or hold it all in your arms?
If I had a song to sing, Id sing it to you
As long as you live, lullaby or maybe a plain serenade
Wouldnt you laugh, dance, and cry or be afraid at the change you made
I may not have the world to give to you
But maybe I have a tune or two
Only if you let me be your world
Could I ever give this world to you
But I will give what love I have to give,
I will give what love I have to give,
I will give what love I have to give, long as I live.
If I had a star to give, Id give it to you
Long as you live, would you have the time
To watch it shine, watch it shine
Or ask for the moon and heaven too? Id give it to you.
Well maybe Ive got no star to spare, or anything fine or even rare,
Only if you let me be your world, could I ever give this world to you.
Could I ever give this world to you.

Situation
Blue I dress for every situation
Moving through the doorway of the nation
Pick me up and shake me down
Baby I can't do without
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
Forget about don't make a sound
Just move out
I remember only for an hour
Moving right through me can you feel the power
I don't know what's going on
It's getting me but it won't be long
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
Forget about don't make a sound
Just move out
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
Forget about don't make a sound
Just move out
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
Forget about don't make a sound
Just move out
Now he's in control he is your lover
Nation stands against him he's your brother
Been a long time, been a long time
Now I've got to give somehow
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
Forget about don't make a sound
Just move out
Well Well Well

Give Me Your Hand
Give me your hand
Some had request a life
Some a heart some a wife
But me, give me your hand
Some had desire your whole
Some your smile others your soul
But as for me give me your hand
Some will plead to stare at your beauty
Others will die to match your quality
But me, give me your hand
Some had grace the day you will nurce their seeds
Some had vow to grant your needs
As for me, give me your hand
I have not a single word to wisper
But my gentle hand is there to offer
So please give me your hand
I will wash it with my blood
And wipe it with bliss from God
You just give me your hand
I have nothing to lift you above
But I will raise your hand with love
Give me your hand
Let us cross huddles with a solmn sing
While I slot the propose ring
Will you give me your hand?

Behaviour
The fulcrum of my behaviour is life,
Fortune forced its tentacles, conniving
And banishing the very layer I existed in.
The reality faced me in the head of affairs,
Our tails longer, the balancing act was tremendous
And very berated when we fell into the depths of the ocean
Of life.
The fulcrum or pivot was down where it lay-
Life was deciding behaviour, the very act.

Until The End
With no regrets for moments gone
Or the things we left behind since the beginning
We have come a long way
We know the dreams we had were much too much
But we must keep in mind that what we did
We did in our own way
So, we have to break down the walls
And let ourselves out
We have to take a stand and try to be strong
If this is what we really want then there can be no doubt
This is no place for us, we got to move on
We gotta win this war together
We will fight until the end of the world
We gotta keep it up forever
We will fight until the end of the world
Til the end....
We have to use our a.d.d.*
So we can cruise around the flow
Then we will see that there are brighter times to come
Now we must set the world on fire,
We cant be afraid to go
We got the atmosphere we know where its from
So, we have to break down the walls
And let ourselves out
We have to take a stand and try to be strong
If this is what we really want then there can be no doubt
This is no place for us, we got to move on
We gotta win this war together
We will fight until the end of the world
We gotta keep it up forever
We will fight until the end of the world
Til the end....
Bound to hit soon
Until the end of the world
Until the end of the world
We gotta win this war together
(until the end of the world)
We gotta keep it up forever
(until the end of the world)

You Better Move On
(alexander jr)
You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love
You tell me Im not the man shes worthy of
But who are you to tell her who to love
Thats up to her, yes and the lord above
You better move on
Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes and a diamond rings
I believe shed be happy with me without those things
Still you beg me to set her free
But my friend that will never be
You better move on
I cant blame you for loving her
But cant you understand man, shes my girl
And i, i, i, Im never gonna let her go
cause i, i, i, I love her so
Well let me tell you how
I think you better go now, Im getting mighty mad
You ask me to give up the only love that Ive ever had
Maybe I would, oh but I love her so
Im never gonna let her go
You better move on
You better move on
You better move on

Give Me Strength
A lonely man I know myself to be
Its not as bad as some things I have seen.
The picture painted here is not a dream
The only reality is the way it seems.
The happier you fly
The sadder you fall
The laughter in your eyes
Is never all.
Give me strength to move along.
Give me strength to leave my sweetheart.
Im riding down swept road in my old car
The moon is almost full except for stars.
The party ended long before the night
She made me feel alive and thats all right.
The happier you fly
The sadder you fall
The laughter in your eyes
Is never all.
Give me strength to move along.
Give me strength to leave while shes gone.
The happier you fly
The sadder you fall
The laughter in your eyes
Is never all.
Give me strength to move along.
Give me strength to move along.
Give me strength to move along.

The Child Dying
Unfriendly friendly universe,
I pack your stars into my purse,
And bid you so farewell.
That I can leave you, quite go out,
Go out, go out beyond all doubt,
My father says, is the miracle.
You are so great, and I so small:
I am nothing, you are all:
Being nothing, I can take this way.
Oh I need neither rise nor fall,
For when I do not move at all
I shall be out of all your day.
It's said some memory will remain
In the other place, grass in the rain,
Light on the land, sun on the sea,
A flitting grace, a phantom face,
But the world is out. There is not place
Where it and its ghost can ever be.
Father, father, I dread this air
Blown from the far side of despair
The cold cold corner. What house, what hold,
What hand is there? I look and see
Nothing-filled eternity,
And the great round world grows weak and old.
Hold my hand, oh hold it fast-
I am changing! - until at last
My hand in yours no more will change,
Though yours change on. You here, I there,
So hand in hand, twin-leafed despair -
I did not know death was so strange.

Here I Am
Here I am, oh here I am, here I am
If you need a love thats true
Need someone to stand by you
Here I am, oh here I am, here I am
If you need a helping hand, need someone to understand
Here I am, oh here I am, here I am
Here I am, Im reaching out to give you love that youre without
I can help you find what youve been looking for
Here I am, come to me, take my hand cause I believe
I can give you all the love you need and more
Oh here I am, oh here I am, here I am
My world is such an empty place
I need someone to fill the space
And here I am, oh here I am, here I am
cause Ive got so much love to give
I need someone to share it with
And here I am, oh here I am, here I am
Here I am, Im reaching out to give you love that youre without
I can help you find what youve been searching for
Here I am, come to me, take my hand cause I believe
I can give you all the love you need and more
Oh here I am, oh here I am, here I am
Oh here I am, oh here I am, here I am
Here I am, oh here I am, here I am

Keys to the World
The key to this world is fighting a cause,
Creating the elements of the Earth.
They move and change with the whole globe,
A lever connects it to the Universe.
When the silver key is twisted, we combine our forces,
Innocent lives are saved from explosion.
Explode now, with vigour!
This time we dine on existing and keeping the space
According to our pleasure and whims.
The keys to the world are blessed on us,
Futures rely on us, to turn the key correctly.

The Name of France
Give us a name to fill the mind
With the shining thoughts that lead mankind,
The glory of learning, the joy of art, --
A name that tells of a splendid part
In the long, long toil and the strenuous fight
Of the human race to win its way
From the feudal darkness into the day
Of Freedom, Brotherhood, Equal Right, --
A name like a star, a name of light.
I give you France!
Give us a name to move the heart
With a warmer glow and a swifter flood, --
A name like the sound of a trumpet, clear,
And silver-sweet, and iron-strong,
That calls three million men to their feet,
Ready to march, and steady to meet
The foes who threaten that name with wrong, --
A name that rings like a battle-song.
I give you France!
Give us a name to move the heart
With the strength that noble griefs impart,
A name that speaks of the blood outpoured
To save minkind from the sway of the sword, --
A name that calls on the world to share
In the burden of sacrificial strife
Where the cause at stake is the world's free life
Andthe rule of the people everywhere, --
A name like a vow, a name like a prayer.
I give you France!

A Kiss
A kiss, your kiss
It was that which awoke me
To a world I’d forgotten
Long since had I chosen to escape
To a place of merry dreams
Long since had I left behind
My hope, my faith, reality
A torment has been imprinted
On my soul, my psyche
To have thought your lips
Not in speaking would move me
To awaken into this world
How could I thank you
Other than a kiss in return
To place my lips upon yours
In a lovers embrace
And in the full woken light
Look into your eyes
Only to fall in love

Hand Of Providence
Michael w. smith
Providence, providence
See it laying down the cornerstone
The hand of providence - its evident
For we could never make it on our own
Apportioning the power
Weighing all that it entails
Giving us the fulcrum
And a balance to the scales
Chorus:
Oh, the hand of providence
Is guiding us through choices that we make
Oh, the hand of providence
Is reaching out to help us on our way
Providence, ever since
Any thesis ever entered man
The hand of providence
Has been our best defense
Tho his ways are sometimes hard to understand
From the dying of a heartbeat
To another soul reborn
From in between and circling
Our thoughts of love and war

Catch 22
If I seem nervous will you show me what to do
And does the world deserve us, application rushing through
A long time coming, yes it's been a long time coming
And my loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart it's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you
We close our eyes and chase away the sorry things
You make it easy for me life is but a dream
Cried on your shoulder
Dove into the great blue yonder
And my loving you is a place where I surrender
Touch my heart, it's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you
Loving you, is a place where I surrender
In my heart
No catch twenty-two
And all my worldly goods I give to you
No misdemeanor, theres a ring upon my finger
And my loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart
It's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you
Loving you, is a place where I surrender
Touch my heart
No catch 22
And all my worldly goods I give to you
Loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart
It's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you.

You And I
All the man I am
You are the reason for me, you help me understand
Ill be your shelter from the rain that never ends
Girl, youve always got a friend in me
All the love we had
I shouldve known our love was older than the past
Throwing my life away on songs I never heard
Just the speaking of a special word
I made you die inside but you loved me
And dont believe the world
No, the world cant give us paradise
When you make your love to me
Til I just could not see the light
As long as I got you
As long as I got me
As long as we got you and I
I wont let you down
No better love will be there when you turn around
Ill be living for you till the ocean turns to sand
There will never be any man
Could love you just the way that I love you....
So dont believe the world
No the world cant give us paradise
In the eye within the storm
When I just could not make it through the night
As long as I got you
As long as I got me
As long as we got you and I
So dont believe the world
No the world cant give us paradise
In the eye within the storm
When I just could not make it through the night
As long as I got you
As long as I got me
As long as we got you and I
