'We must do something' is the unanimous refrain. 'You begin' is the deadening refrain.

Living apart and at peace with myself, I came to realize more vividly the meaning of the doctrine of acceptance. To refrain from giving advice, to refrain from meddling in the affairs of others, to refrain, even though the motives be the highest, from tampering with another's way of life - so simple, yet so difficult for an active spirit. Hands off

THE DANCE (AN EPILEPTICS PRAYER) ...by Talile Ali
IN C
C~G/ C~Am/
I NEVER THOUGHT TOO MUCH ABOUT
THE DANCE AND HOW IT'S PLAYED
THRU OUT MY LIFE, SOME WITH MY WIFE
NOTHING WAS EVER WELL MADE
REFRAIN
F-Am-F-G~C
IT'S THE DANCE
IT'S THE DANCE
NO ROMANCE
NOT A CHANCE
THE DANCE DID INTERUPT ME
IN ALL THE THINGS I CHOOSE
BECAUSE AFTER A WHILE, WHY BOTHER
EVENTUALLY I WILL LOSE
REFRAIN
THE TIMES I WOULD HAVE A SPELL
A EVENTUALLY FADE OUT
NEVER KNOWING IF IT'S MY LAST GOOD BYE
OR JUST A TEMPERARY BOUT
REFRAIN
HOW MANY UNDERSTAND HOW
THIS DANCE WITH LIFE IS TRUE
AND TO WHO HAVE TASTED
WE HAVE THIS POINT OF VIEW
REFRAIN
SO DELIGHT IS SO FLEETING
A JOY IS FOUND WITHIN
THE DANCE FOR EVER OUR DOMAIN
AND DEATH ONE OF THE DANCER'S, MY FRIEND

Lead Them to Thee
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them to Thee,
These children dear of mine,
Thou gavest me.
O, by Thy love divine,
Refrain
Lead them, my God, to Thee,
Lead them, lead them,
Lead them to Thee.
When earth looks bright and fair,
Festive and gay,
Let no delusive snare,
Lure them away;
But from temptation’s power,
Refrain
E’en for such little ones,
Christ came a child,
And through this world of sin,
Movèd undefiled;
O, for His sake, I pray,
Refrain
Yea, though my faith be dim,
I would believe
That Thou this precious gift,
Wilt now receive;
O, take their young hearts now;

Everyone knew he was her beau

A Rallying Song
Oh glorious race of mighty men,
The homeland calls to you;
Our fathers wrought with faith divine,
So let us march in line. (Refrain)
If foe we meet across the way,
Our courage hold on high,
For Victory is near at hand,
So march ye with the band.
Refrain: Oh glorious race, Etc
Old Africa is calling you,
So wave the banner high;
No foe shall win the glorious day,
Shout ye, and march and pray.
Refrain: Oh glorious race, Etc.
Our God is leading us away,
And land and seas divide,
For hosts are here in royal form,
March on and fear no storm.
Refrain: Oh glorious race, Etc.
New Africa beholds the sight,
The world will tremble then,
Good men of might will worship God
And bless the heaving sod.
Refrain: Oh glorious race, Etc.
Tell the people everywhere you go,
'The day is here again,'
The Ethiopian's God appears
To deal with all affairs.

I Love Trash
Refrain] Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash
I have here a sneaker that's tattered and worn
It's all full of holes and the laces are torn
A gift from my mother the day I was born
I love it because it's trash
[Refrain]
I have here some newspaper thirteen months old
I've wrapped some fish inside it, it's smelly and cold
But I wouldn't trade it for a big pot o' gold
I love it because it's trash
[Refrain]
I've a clock that won't work, and an old telephone
A broken umbrella, a rusty trombone
And I am delighted to call them my own
I love them because they're trash
[Refrain, ending with]...Yes, I love, I love, I love trash

Daily, Daily, Sing The Praises
Daily, daily, sing the praises
Of the city God hath made;
In the beauteous fields of Eden
Its foundation stones are laid.
Refrain
O that I had wings of angels,
Here to spread and heavenward fly!
I would seek the gates of Zion,
Far beyond the starry sky.
All the walls of that dear city
Are of bright and burnished gold;
It is matchless in its beauty,
And its treasures are untold.
Refrain
In the midst of that dear city
Christ is reigning on His seat,
And the angels swing their censers
In a ring about His feet.
Refrain
From the throne a river issues,
Clear as crystal, passing bright,
And it traverses the city
Like a sudden beam of light.
Refrain
There the forests ever blossom,
Like our orchards here in May;
There the gardens never wither,
But eternally are gay.
Refrain
There the meadows green and dewy
Shine with lilies wondrous fair;
Thousand, thousand, are the colors
Of the waving flowers there.
Refrain
There the forests ever blossom,
Like our orchards here in May;
There the gardens never wither,
But eternally are gay.
Refrain
There the wind is sweetly fragrant,
And is laden with the song
Of the seraphs, and the elders,
And the great redeemèd throng.
Refrain
O I would my ears were open
Here to catch that happy strain!
O I would my eyes some vision
Of that Eden would attain!

Shadows
Walk through the night looking for your kind of smile
?Hoping to meet you I walk my love for miles
Your face, your eyes, I can't find the girl I look for
refrain:
Shadows can conceal you
you can't hide, so please don't try
Your life and my love
But to search just makes me cry
Life was so young and another day is gone
Love seems a lost word
How can my heart be strong
?When that was is again I wait for love to be there
refrain
Then in the shadows I see the face I look for
But then like the night you're gone just as before
A face in a crowd
A shadow once more

Feel So Bad
In my dreams there are some things that I can't describe
I have to speak about or I would keep this lie.
When it gets me down oh then I get turned around.
You stabbed me in the back. Is this something you enjoy,
something you enjoy?
Refrain:
Tell me why do I feel so bad?
I want to hurt you deep in your heart.
I feel so bad.
I thought we were in real love.
I feel so bad.
I'm speaking from the inside.
But now I want to fight against it, and so
you can't make me be hurt.
Once as I was naive and silly, I thought you told the truth.
Now I know more about you. I will not believe in you,
believe in you.

When you look at me, will I ever be free?

Midnight Special
Midnight Special
- Creedence Clearwater Revival
Well, you wake up in the morning
You hear the work bell ring
And they march you to the table
To see the same old thing
Ain't no food upon the table
And no pork up in the pan
But you better not complain, boy
You get in trouble with the man
{Refrain}
Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me
(3X)
Let the midnight special
Shine a ever-lovin light on me
Yonder come miss Rosie
How in the world did you know
By the way she wears her apron
And the clothes she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder
Piece of paper in her hand
She come to see the governor
She want to free her man
{Refrain}
If you're ever in Houston,
Well you'd better do the right
You'd better not gamble
And you better not fight (at all)
Or the sheriff will grab you
And the boys will bring you down
The next thing you know boy,
Well you're prison bound

But You Know I Love You
When the morning sun
Streaks across my room
And I've waken up
>From another dream of you
Yes I'm on the road
Once again it seems
All I've left behind
Is a chain of broken dreams
REFRAIN
But you know I love you
Yes I love you
Oh I love you
How I wish that love
(??-line unclear)
What a life we'd live
Cause I've got so much to give
And it seems so wrong
Deep inside my heart
That the dollar sign
Should be keeping us apart
REFRAIN
And if I could only find my way back to the time
When the problems of this life of mine didn't cross our minds
All the answers were found in children's nursery rhymes
I'd come running back to you
I'd come running back to you
And you know we can't
Live on dreams alone
Just to pay the rent
I must leave you all alone
But you know I made my choice
Many years ago
Now this traveling life
Is the only one I know
REFRAIN (four times)
REFRAIN (three times while fading)

I Hear A Sweet Voice Calling
Our little girl had taken sick one evening
As she walked home from shcool
And then her deathbed soon claimed her
It made us so sad and so blue
Then she called me close to her bedside
And whispered these words soft and low
Tell mommy to come to me quickly
I want to kiss you both and go
(Refrain)
I hear a sweet voice calling
way up in Heaven on high
God has made room for your daughter
Oh mommy and daddy dont cry
Take care of little brother
Tell him I'm gone to rest
I know his little heart is broken
He's all that you have left
Then she closed eyes forever
Never to see us no more
Until we meet our darlin
On that bright and peaceful shore

You Get Me
Wonderful is what I perceived this life would be
Pain and problem free
But over time I found reality
And through it all I see
That you're the only One who gets me
I MAY BE MISUNDERSTOOD 'CAUSE I WOULDN'T EVER FAKE IT
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS MY PAIN
'CAUSE YOU GET ME
DOESNT MATTER WHAT THEY DO, WHAT THEY THINK, WHAT THEY SAY
AT THE END OF THE DAY I'M OKAY, ANYWAY
'CAUSE LORD, YOU GET ME
No more tears
It's a silent night
You've Broken down all fear
'Cause You've invaded all of me
You know me better than I know myself
The key to my security
There is no one else who gets me
[refrain]
I don't care what the world may say
I hear You call me By name
And I reach for You, reach for You
There is nothing that I'd rather do
Than just worship you , Lord
I'm gonna worship you, worship you

You Are There
You are there like the laughter of a child
When I need just a smile
Suddenly the sun shines for a while
Everywhere sounds of love are everywhere
And my heart sings along
Thanks to you I finally got a song,
Refrain
cause you are there,
You are there
You are there somewhere
Each time my world seems like its falling down
Things look up just having you around
So every night I say a prayer
Just because youre there
Like a rainbow after rain
Like the night follows day
Youre the answer to the prayers I say,
Refrain
And you are there,
You are there
You are there somewhere
No matter where I go or what I do
You are there to help me see it trough,
So every night I say a prayer,
Just because youre there

Ouuh, you are there,
Oooh, you are there, somewhere
And as the years go by well stay as true,
What you are for me Ill be for you
And every night Ill say a prayer,
Just because youre there,
Oooh, you are there,
Oooh, you are there,
Everywhere, you are there

I believe, yes I believe

I believe in me and you
Give me a reason
For the need of changing me
Give me a reason

I know how to fix it
I believe, yes I believe

One reason makes it clear

Cause I believe!

One More Day's Work for Jesus
One more day’s work for Jesus,
One less of life for me!
But Heav’n is nearer, and Christ is clearer
Than yesterday, to me.
His love and light fill all my soul tonight.
Refrain
One more day’s work for Jesus,
One more day’s work for Jesus,
One more day’s work for Jesus,
One less of life for me!
One more day’s work for Jesus!
How sweet the work has been,
To tell the story, to show the glory,
Where Christ’s flock enters in!
How it did shine in this poor heart of mine.
Refrain
One more day’s work for Jesus!
O yes, a weary day;
But Heav’n shines clearer, and rest comes nearer,
At each step of the way;
And Christ in all, before His face I fall.
Refrain
O blessèd work for Jesus!
O rest at Jesus’ feet!
There toil seems pleasure, my wants are treasure,
And pain for Him is sweet.
Lord, if I may, I’ll serve another day!

Let It All Fall Down
Sing a song for the wrong
And the wicked and the strong
And the sick, as thick as thieves
For the faceless fear that was never so near
Too clear to misbelieve
Well the sea is jumping salty
And the porpoise has the blues
My recollections faulty
And I cannot find my shoes
And my wiring is misfiring
Due to cigarettes and booze
Im behind in my dues
I just now got the news
He seems to tell us lies
And still we will believe him
Then together he will lead us
Into darkness, my friends
Refrain:
Let it fall down, let it fall down
Let it all fall down
Let it fall down, let it fall down
Let it all fall down
The man says stand to one side, son
We got to keep this big ball rolling
Its just a question of controlling
For whom the bell is tolling
Refrain
Therell be suffering and starvation
In the streets young man
Just where have you been, old man
Just look out of your window, man
Refrain
Well, it aint nobodys fault but our own
Still, at least we might could show the good sense
To know when weve been wrong
And its already taken too long
So we bring it to a stop
Then we take it from the top
We let it settle on down softly
Like your gently falling snow
Or let it tumble down and topple
Like the temple long ago
