Let's Be Human!
a new day dawning...
we dont know how difficult,
or how long the labor...
dont know how bad
the birthing pains...
but the time of change
is upon us!
let us work together with
diligence and determination,
to insure the change
is for the good!
we are the human race...
let's be human!

Couple Days Off
I like my job and I dont mind the work
But eleven out of twelve is bound to hurt
The pays pretty good and the benefits are fine
But I got a little girl and I wanna make her mine
Dont mind telling you I get a little mad
To get a bit ahead takes all the time I have
Dont misunderstand me
Im not getting soft
All I want is a couple days off
Cant wait for the weekend
Ah baby just cant wait no
I dont need another high song to sing
I dont need a shiny new diamond ring
I dont need to meet nobody else
I just need a little time for myself
cause Im only human, Im no machine
I need a little loving only you know what I mean
Dont misunderstand me
Im not getting soft
All I want is a couple days off
Let me catch my breath
Thank God for the weekend
Back to the old grind
I dont need another long coffee break
Ive had as much coffee as a man can take
I need to change my disposition
Change my point of view
I need time to figure out what I want to do
Believe me when I tell you it gets a little rough
We work a little harder but it never is enough
Im not afraid to say
Im a total loss
All I want is a couple days off
Cant wait for the weekend

Dont Ever Change
You never wear a suit of lace,
The powders not on your face.
Youre always wearing jeans
Except on sunday.
So please dont ever change,
No dont you ever change.
I kind of like you
Just the way you are.
You dont know the latest dance,
But when its time to make romance
Your kisses let me know
Youre not a tomboy.
So please dont ever change,
No dont you ever change.
Promise youre always gonna be
As sweet as you are.
I love you when youre happy,
I love you when youre blue.
I love you when youre mad at me,
So how can I get tired of you?
A lots of other girls Ive seen,
They know how to treat guys mean.
But you would rather die
Than ever hurt me.
So please dont ever change,
No dont you ever change.
Just promise youre always gonna be
As sweet as you are.
Please dont ever change,
Dont you ever change.
Please dont ever change,
Dont you ever change.

If you ever change
I would be sad cause I wanted you just as you are
Dont you ever change now

Not Only Human
Morning is almost here - let it wait
I just want to lie here awhile, tempting fate
I dont think I could breathe now with you gone
But its not weakness its just something Ive begun
Maybe theres a light thats always on
Maybe were not only human, maybe
Maybe theres a light thats always on
And were not only human
When youre sleeping your ceramic
Youre surrounded by little stars
Every shimmer is a searchlight
Every planet is ours
Change the street change the decade
Still the longings left inside
But why am I too small to carry you?
Why does twilight make me cry?
Maybe theres a light thats always on
Maybe were not only human, maybe
Maybe theres a light thats always on
And were not only human
When all is said and done
When all the weight is gone
When all is said and done
When all the weight is gone
Were not only human
Life is something set to music
I can hear it when Im sad
Theres a chord in every muscle
Every kiss you ever had
Theres a power when youre near me
In our heads or in our bones
I know nothing but Im guessing
When we die were not alone
Maybe theres a light thats always on
Maybe were not only human, maybe
Maybe theres a light thats always on
And were not only human
When all is said and done
When all the weight is gone
When all is said and done
When all the weight is gone
Were not only human
Not only human
Not only human
Not only human
Not only, yeah, human.
No, human, human.
Human.

Dont Change On Me
Girl, youre my sunshine,
Take away the raindrops,
You make it all worthwhile,
Make all the pain stop.
Just like a river,
Keep love flowin,
Dont let our world stop,
Gotta keep it goin.
Well, I love you just the way you are,
Honey, dont change on me,

Girl, youre my lucky star,
Honey, dont change on me,
Dont change on me,

Where would I ever find
A-some kinda happiness and peace of mind.
I was lured by the darkness,
And then you came,
Bringin the sunshine,
Easin the pain.
I love ya just the way you are,
Honey, dont change on me,
Dont change on me,
I said, dont change on me.

And there forever

In the sunshine,
No more stormy weather.
Well, I love ya just the way you are,

Birthing Pains (Day Of Change)
world in turmoil... time of the end, or birthing pains?
peoples of all countries... common, everyday, honest,
hard working, dreaming... battling against the oppression
of the few, those who control, those who profit at the expense
of human life, without remorse! and now we can communicate!
we see each other, we hear each other, as if side by side,
in the battle for human dignity.
should there be hunger? should there be families without
shelter? should there be children without chance? can this
world continue with the elite having too much, and so many
people suffering? no!
birthing pains, a new world, a new day! a cohesive journey
taken together!
freedom demand equality, acceptance without prejudice,
and a fair distribution of what life has to offer! no free rides,
all working together! accepting the need for intelligent
questioning, and for diversity!
the voice of the peoples grows stronger, almost a roar!
it is the day of change!

Tele Hes Not Talking
Tele hes the one he knows what to say
Knows how to find his own way
He knows the roads by night and by doorways
But watching the light in a hall
Wont change a thing or say at all
What it is that he says
Still he says that I dont know
Still he says that I dont know
I dont why I think about so much
When I dont know what it is I cant say
And I wouldnt change a thing if I believe you all
And scream it in your face
Still Id say hey I dont know
Still Id say hey I dont know
Tele deals the cards and draws an ace
And finds himself miles away
Where skies aint bruised by towers and fumes
Children aint too young to play
Would I change a thing
Id change it all
But were born different days
Still Id say hey I dont know
Still Id say hey I dont know
(repeat chorus)
Would I change a thing
Id change it all when Im miles away
Would I change a thing
Id change it all but we were born on different days
Id change a thing
Id change it all when Im miles away...

Since I dont know when

Digging in your heels
If your persuasion attack
Leaves me flat on my back
You can ride me off to ruin
While the whole world cracks

Youre the best new face
In the human race
Speak of the devil
And look who appears
Hes cranking up the level
In between your ears
But hes so frustrated
Cause he cant get a rise
Out of someone whos reflecting
Heaven in their eyes
I see heaven in your eyes.
(you look so good)
Yeah (yeah), whoa yeah (whoa yeah)

Human Work Of Art
No one on earth means more to me
Your painted pictures are the way that the world
Should be
Dont ever change it, I dont wanna live in this
World without you
Oh no
I cant explain, I cant define
What you do to me, but my senses are so alive
You tell your story and its all that I ever believe
Portraits and poetry are frozen forms of perfection
But they dont live and breathe
When my hearts in need they dont answer me
You - ooo oooh you are, youre a human work of art
Walking, talking inspiration
You - ooo oooh you are, youre a human work of art
You make me love, you make me care
You give me freedom I dont need when I know
Youre there
My search is over Ive got all of the riches that
Money dont buy, oh no
Your words are poetry and your face is more than
Perfection
The way I watch you move it only goes to prove
In everything to do
You - oooh oooh you are, youre a human work of art
Walking, talking inspiration
You - ooooh ooh you are, youre a human work of art
Youre my mission
Youre my goal
Oooh you liberate my soul
Theres no illusion, that your touch is gold
Portraits and poetry are frozen forms of perfection
The way I watch you move it only goes to prove
In everything you do
You - oooh oooh you are, youre a human work of art
Walking, talking new sensation
You - ooooh oooh you are, youre a human work of art
Walking, talking inspiration

Dont Ya Say It
Things you said to me
Sentimentally
Are always on my mind.
Seems you haunted me
But you set me free
Long before you gave me time to escape.
The next time
Ill be on my way
cause its time, its true
Im turning my back on you.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you need me
You dont need me,
Dont even try.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you want me,
You dont mean it,
Dont say good-bye.
You threw love at me
Indispensably,
But you never could give it away.
And it seems to me
That youd never be,
Thats why Ill never stay with you.
You cant hold me down
cause its my life too,
So this time its true,
Im turning my back on you
.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you want me,
You dont mean it,
Dont even try.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you need me,
You dont mean it,
Dont say good-bye.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you need me,
You dont need me,
Dont even try.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you want me,
You dont mean it,
Dont say good-bye.

To feel how I feel now all the time

Say that you'll stay
Forever this way
Forever and forever
That we'll never have to change

Dont breathe

And promise me
Say you'll stay

Dont think ahead
Lets just stay
This way in bed
Feels so good inside your arms
Home is everywhere you are

Dont Know
I dont know what to expect anymore
people change like a light bulb
once the light is off
they change into the night
for once in my life
i dont want change
why cant things go back to the way we once knew
is that too much to ask for
Is it because the world wants us to change
or we want to change because we dont like ourselves
but some people dont change
for the ones that know who they are
people respect who they are
the only person that can make yourself
is yourself

Dont Cry Ilene
He had his fathers eyes
And his mothers point of view
There was no disguise
He couldnt see through
Sometimes the little things
They dont seem so small
But they had a good thing overall
Chorus
Nobody nobody nobody nobody
Knew him the way you did
Its hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Dont cry ilene
There was a rainbow over here
He didnt see it from over there
Black and white are fine
But hes color blind
Watching over me
There must have been some kind of mystery
Because I wanted him too
But it was all wrong all wrong
Chorus
Nobody nobody nobody nobody
Knew him the way you did
Its hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Dont cry ilene
Nobody nobody nobody nobody

Revolution 1993
(this is one of my favorites, listen to the drums, and both flute and trumpet solos)
Written by jay kay and toby smith
Yes youve got to stand up, stay strong, start moving in the right direction,
Dont wait too long, for people promising divine intervention
Nineteen nine three, now Im taking matters into my own hands
So fast, I cant see
A revolution is the only way we can change, change, change
I wanna fight the power!
Well its hard times, white lines,kids of nine getting down with gun crime
War zones, no homes, aint it the time we gave the dog a bone
Say brothers, sisters, get up and put yourself in the picture
This time you know a revolution is the only way we can change, change, change
I want to fight the power!
Question, answer, shake your hand and smile for the camera
But its no good you should spend time in your neighbourhood
Where black kids, white kids
Now youre working overtime to be a crack kid
No job, no cash,
A revolution is the only way we can change, change, change
I wanna fight the power!
Still we dont seem to understand we need a revolution,
Everubody wants a revolution
Now who is this man, Im having trouble knowing where Im coming from
Pre-conceptions, its eternal human infection
One chance, learn how youre gonna change the habit of a lifetime my soul, concerned,
That revolution is the only way that we can change, change, change
I wanna fight the power!
Higher, higher, now were gonna learn how to fight the power
Sunshine, new day, I only know how to go to the right way
Faster, stronger I help my brother and my soul lives longer
Blinded I cant see
A revolution is the only way that we can change, change, change
I wanna fight the power!
No doubt in time, everything is sweet sunshine but in the
Meantime, mankind is having trouble where to draw the line
We still dont, respect, and yet I thought we had intellect
Sometimes I think the music is the only hope we have for revolution
Still we dont seem to understand we need a revolution
Everybody needs a revolution!

Change Your Mind
When you get weak, and you need to test your will
When lifes complete, but theres something missing still
Distracting you from this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Distracting you (change your mind)
Supporting you (change your mind)
Embracing you (change your mind)
Convincing you (change your mind)
When youre confused and the world has got you down
When you feel used and you just cant play the clown
Protecting you from this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Protecting you (change your mind)
Restoring you (change your mind)
Revealing you (change your mind)
Soothing you (change your mind)
You hear the sound, you wait around and get the word
You see the picture changing everything youve heard
Destroying you with this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Destroying you (change your mind)
Embracing you (change your mind)
Protecting you (change your mind)
Confining you (change your mind)
Distracting you (change your mind)
Supporting you (change your mind)
Distorting you (change your mind)
Controlling you (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
The morning comes and theres an odor in the room
The scent of love, more than a million roses bloom
Embracing you with this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Embracing you (change your mind)
Concealing you (change your mind)
Protecting you (change your mind)
Revealing you (change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)

Thoughts On Revolution....
you speak angrily of revolution,
yet you're in such a hurry, that
you havent sat down and thought
about what it is you want...
so many issues you're mad about,
but you dont have answers to the
problems... you're not even sure
about what you think caused the
problems.
it's easy to want change, it's hard
to do the work of change... it begins
with knowing who you are as a human being,
seeing your strengths and weaknesses,
and acknowledging, accepting...
in order to change the world we have
to first be willing to change ourselves...
what we have to change in ourselves
begins with our excuses... we have to
turn from our old selfish images of
ourselves, to a real and honest knowing...
the things we want to change in our world
have been inflicted by man... to change the
works of man.... we have to be the man and
woman that we are called to be.
honest, real, caring, involved... willing
to educate ourselves to the truth....
