Theres A Light
Michael mcdonald
Theres a light that shines on all people
Sees them through
It waits and watches them move
Through their lives like people do
Theres only so much we can be sure of
We can see
The rest belongs to time
And things that are meant to be
When the clouds surround you
And you know youve found your rainy day
Oh, the blues are bound to make you feel
Just like theyre here to stay
All through your life
Anything thats meant to be will be
When tomorrow comes
Once again, youll see
That theres a light that shines on all people
Sees them through
It waits and watches them move
Through their lives like people do
When the clouds surround you
And you know youve found your rainy day
Oh, the blues are bound to make you feel
Jut like theyre here to stay
Oh, you should know
There aint much a broken heart can see
When tomorrow hides
The dream beyond this dream
Oh, theres a light that shines on all people
Sees them through
It waits and watches them move
Through their lives like people do

The Movin' Blues
People up north are movin' south.
People down south are movin' west.
People out west are movin' east.
People don't know which move is best?
They've got the movin' blues.
People up north say it's too cold.
People down south say it's too hot.
People out west say it's too dry.
Nobody's happy with what they've got.
They've got the movin' blues.
Now movin' around is such a pain.
It takes too long to pack.
You leave all your friends and all you knew.
and you wonder if you'll ever move back?
You've got the movin' blues.
I think where you're the happiest
is the place you ought to stay.
So settle down and see how you feel.
Hopefully you won't have to move away
and get the movin' blues.

The Blues Is Just A Bad Dream
A tree grows in my back yard
It only grows at night
Its branches theyre all twisted
Its leaves are afraid of light
They say the blues is just a bad dream
They say it lives upside your head
But when its lonely in the morning
Youre bound to wish that you was lying dead
Theres winds out on the ocean
Theyre blowing just as they choose
But then winds aint got no emotion, baby
And they dont know the blues
They say the blues is just a bad dream
They say it lives upside your head
But when its lonely, lonely in the morning
Youre bound to wish that you was lying dead
My mind is rambling and rambling
Just like some rolling stone, no
Since that nightmares come to stay with me, baby
My thoughts just dont belong
They say the blues is just a bad dream
They say it lives upside your head
But when they visit you around midnight
Youre bound to wish that you were lying dead

I Aint Got The Blues
Well, Im a little light-headed
But my body feels the same
And it feels like fallin on down
And find another name
But the sand in my shoes
May trickle to my brain
Well, I aint got the blues
But something more tame
Oh yeah, something more tame
Oh yeah, something more tame.
Well the sound of the drums
Is pounding in my head
Like ten thousand dancers
With bodies full of lead
And I feel like a bull
With an eye-full of red
Well, I aint got the blues
But something better bred
Oh yeah, something better bred
Oh yeah, something better bred.
If tomorrow sees another
Kind of farm I know
Well, the people and the soldiers
And the gypsies groan
It would be like a wonder
And I cannot let it go
Well, I aint got the blues
But something more slow
Oh yeah, something more slow
Oh yeah, something more slow.
But the people in the cities
And the other ones too
Aint got too many wonders
That theyre not tied to
And I cant help but feeling
As Im wearing straight through
Well, I aint got the blues
But something more true
Oh yeah, something more true
Oh yeah, something more true.

Standin In My Light
(ian hunter)
Well I finally found you out
All through your mess of dreams
You wont make it to the night
And your standing in my light
You know youve been bad for me
You aint got the weight to hate
But you aint no pretty sight
And your standing in my light
Move over cause your standing in my light
Move over cause your standing in my light
Move over cause your standing in my light (yeah)
Move over cause your standing in my light
Now when your old man beats the drums
Gotta run run run thats dumb
A little less ego a little more fight
Move over cause your standing in my light
Things go bad and the risks get high
Sweeping dead bodies cross an open sky
You took my pictures from your walls
Aint gonna trade with the pain of the new york dolls
Move over cause your standin in my
(move over cause your standin in my)
Move over cause your standin in my
(move over cause your standin in my)
Move over cause you standin in my
(move over cause your standin in my)
Move over cause you standing in my light
Move over cause your standing in my light
Move over cause your standing in my light
Move over cause your standing in my light
Move over cause your standing in my light
Move over cause your standing in my light yeah.......alright
Move over cause your standing in my light
I wish you luck on your very last chance
Cause I knew you blew it at the song and dance
You froze my feelings, but thats alright
And your standing in my light

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to a new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile.
Sir Duke
Music is a world within itself
With a language we all understand
With an equal opportunity
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands
But just because a record has a groove
Dont make it in the groove
But you can tell right away at letter a
When the people start to move
They can feel it all over
They can feel it all over people
They can feel it all over
They can feel it all over people
Music knows it is and always will
Be one of the things that life just wont quit
But here are some of musics pioneers
That time will not allow us to forget
For theres basie, miller, satchmo
And the king of all sir duke
And with a voice like ellas ringing out
Theres no way the band can lose
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
I can feel it all over-all over now people
Cant you feel it all over
Come on lets feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
Everybody-all over people

For The Sake of My Child
The prayer tells me to ask for serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
My child watches and waits by my side.
The prayer tells me to ask for courage to change the things I can.
My child watches and waits by my side.
The prayer tells me to ask for wisdom to know the difference.
My child watches and waits by my side.
The actions I need to do for my recovery are just too hard today.
My child watches and waits by my side.
The time I pity myself and doubt if anyone really understands is plenty.
My child watches and waits by my side.
The hands on the clock do not stop for me to catch my breath.
Not even for the sake of my child.

A Higher Power Watches
A Higher Power Watches
Who deliberately causes
The innocent to flout
The sweet to become bitter
The peaceful to become upset.
A Higher Power Watches
People who provoke
The good to do evil.
To speak unkind
To deceive to live unclean.
A Higher Power Watches
How the family behaves
How friends are engaged
Or how who ever interrupts
Or encourages a Life.
A Higher Power Watches
Consciously every move.
Inspirations and righteousness
Cleanliness and courage
Ameliorations and aspirations.
A Higher Power Watches
What every insight sees.
Every intellectual knowing
Every attitude existing
What life's breath blows.
A Higher Power Watches
Every humilation
Every honesty and sincerity
Every forgiveness
And every loving thought.

Two People
(t. britten, g. lyle)
Producer: terry britten
Album: break every rule (86)
Two people living on the edge of life
Are people running out of dreams and time
I can hear it when you tell me so
I can feel it but I cant let go
Two people gotta stick together
And love one another, save it for a rainy day
Some people gotta stay whatever
And give one another shelter on a rainy day
Two people living in the way we do
Are people trying to keep a love anew
What to say to make some sense of it
What to do to make the feeling fit
Two people gotta stick together
And love one another, save it for a rainy day
Some people gotta stay whatever
And give one another shelter on a rainy day
Ill come running to your rescue
You gotta stand by me
Theres a lot of love between us
We should never let go

Brother Where You Bound
Theres a red cloud hanging over us
And its so big and its gonna burst
All you people with your heads in the ground
Hey brother, where you bound?
And theyre no good and theyre everywhere
Try to tell you, but you just dont care
Try to hear you but you dont make a sound
Hey brother, where you bound?
Hey brother, where you bound?
And you dont know what theyre gonna do
And you dont know how they feel
And you dont know what theyre tellin you
Is it a lie or is it real
And the next thing that you know is
That they walk out on the deal
And the message that theyre giving you
Is the same old alibi
If you dont quite see their point of view
Then they treat you like a spy
And the phone rings and you disappear
In the middle of the night
Cant you see theyre on the move
Dont know what youre trying to prove
But you sit there oh so cool
Like they never broke no rules
And the cat flies and the crow walks
And the ghost dies and the sow talks
And they tell us that theyll be good as gold
Blieve nothing that youre told
Hey brother, wheres your soul?
Make a move in one direction
Try to make some compromise
But they greet you with rejection
Makin out youre tellin lies
Then they turn around and tell you
Better get down from the sky
For the sake of all thats holy
Listen good to what I say
I can feel them all around me
They could be here any day
But you act like you dont know me
Why d you look at me that way
If theres one thing that is clear
We gotta get away from here
Weve gotta leave this place
Its just a hopeless case
Aint no one else to blame
Were gonna lose this game
Hey brother get off my back
I gotta tell you, youre way off the track
They got a hatred deep down inside
Aint gonna let them take me alive
Im gonna burn them down, just wait and see
Aint gonna let them walk over me
Boy you aint got no heart and soul
And your mind is weak and your bloods runnin cold
You better move, you better hide
Theyre gettin in, theyre gettin inside
If you get caught you better know
Theyre gonna reap, youre gonna sow
Dont be a fool, we gotta go
Aint no place safe for us to stay
We better move on, we better move on

Things Behind The Sun
Please beware of them that stare
Theyll only smile to see you while
Your time away
And once youve seen what they have been
To win the earth just wont seem worth
Your night or your day
Wholl hear what I say.
Look around you find the ground
Is not so far from where you are
But not too wise
For down below they never grow
Theyre always tired and charms are hired
From out of their eyes
Never surprise.
Take your time and youll be fine
And say a prayer for people there
Who live on the floor
And if you see whats meant to be
Dont name the day or try to say
It happened before.
Dont be shy you learn to fly
And see the sun when day is done
If only you see
Just what you are beneath a star
That came to stay one rainy day
In autumn for free
Yes, be what youll be.
Please beware of them that stare
Theyll only smile to see you while
Your time away
And once youve seen what they have been
To win the earth just wont seem worth
Your night or your day
Wholl hear what I say.
Open up the broken cup
Let goodly sin and sunshine in
Yes thats today.
And open wide the hymns you hide
You find reknown while people frown
At things that you say
But say what youll say
About the farmers and the fun
And the things behind the sun
And the people round your head
Who say everythings been said
And the movement in your brain
Sends you out into the rain.

Della Brown
Youve got a cardboard house
Live there all the time
Keep your memories tied with string
The face that many once adored
Twenty years gone maybe more
Somewhere you lost the dream
Mama watched your every move, but now youre all alone
Shes been gone for awhile
Daddy left some time ago, fading years pass too slow
Hes the only one, could make you smile
Oh, youre still crying
Big city bound
Gona make your mark
Read your name in the lights
All the ads and people say, beauty lets you get you way
Tried your best to prove them right
But living on the streets aint bad, sad people make you glad
Pardon me, could you spare some change
-oh, youre still crying-
Street corner girl
Watch the crowd go by
Fill your tin can with life
Summer days tend to slip away
Like your men you couldnt make them stay
Hard to choose, whiskey or a wife
Sometimes you wonder wheres the end
Where you goin where you been?
Happiness seems so hard to win
Most never care to find
Della brown sees it al the time
Looking for that man to make her smile again

Got Me Missing You
(l. stansfield/i. devaney)
Spoken:
Sometimes people make mistakes
They play the game, play hard to get
Then it all goes wrong and they end up being lonely
Im one of those people
Got me missing you
Youve got me missing you
At the time it seemed ok
Nothing too serious I said
Just two people having fun
Or so I thought
At the time I was playing it cool
I had it all under control
But then I broke the golden rule
I went and said youd never have me
But baby youve got me...
Chorus:
Missing you
Every day every night
Youve got me missing you
Without you this aint a life
Got me missing you
And baby try as I might
Just cant stop this pain inside
If I could do it all again
Id say the things I truly meant
cos now youre gone Ive gone insane
Funny how I always said youd never have me
But baby youve got me...
Chorus
I stay up late at night cos
Ive been sleeping light
Ive made a full-time job of going out of my mind
Cant see one good reason
I should live my life without you
Without you

Do they have what Im singing for

People, rushin round in their lonely lives

They dont have the time
cause theyre always doin the things
They have to do so theyll be alright
Their always lookin out for their own side
People think theyve got priorities right

The road we need to travel for a better way of life

An attitude we need to take if we want to survive
Come on give me (come on) sincerity
Come on give me (come on) sincerity
Heartaches, everybody now and then
Theyre cryin out for others,
To listen to them like a friend
But were always sayin we dont have the time
But we really sympathize, maybe another time
Dont think about tomorrow
Do it while youve got the chance

Follow Your Dreams
to dream your dream, and follow it through
to dream your dream, and make it come true.
to set that goal in your life
and have it become your guiding light.
to push yourself against all odds
and take the first steps, is the start.
take the first of a million steps
until your dream you have met.
no one knows your dreams better than you
do whatever you've got to do.
but do not hurt anyone along the way
for later on you will pay.
using friends, family, people, -we all do.
how far you go depends on you.
with your dream, other people gain
and because of it, their lives will change.
it takes billions of grains of sand to make a beach
that is the goal that we must reach.
each and every one of our lives, will touch another.
that is why we are sister and brother.
everything in life-' no matter what it may be'.
has its consequences, that affects you and me.
now on this weekend i heard the news
two ICONS have passed away (michael jackson & farrah fawcett)
but in our hearts they will stay.
they reached their dreams in their hearts,
and we became a very big part.
so with this in mind i must say
follow your dreams, it's the only way.

Move
I was sitting at my desk, I was a little depressed,
My nerves laid back, I was busy stressed,
Messed up in the club with the girlies bt
U I think about, think about, think about yoooo
And I couldnt stay alone I couldnt stay at home
So I thought about it, talked about it on my microphone,
Cause the plight that I have is to make the people groove
The plight that I have is to make the people move
What you wanna do, what do to groove what you want,
What you want, what you want - move
Chorus:
Move ya, move move ya,
Move I said, move I said, move and go ahead
Cause if we drop that beat, you gotta feel that treat-
Ment by the bass, by the drums in your fac
E wanna see your left hand wanna see your right hand
Still u gotta know we are a live bad band
Move to the rytm, move, move to the rhyme,
You can see it, you can feel it, you can hear it in the streets
Step one to the front step two to the back
Move I said, move I said, move and go ahead, fred!
Chorus
Gonna make you move...

They were takin the time to take
His name in vain
Look what the good people done to him
Look what the good people done to him
They were havin their fun
Look what the good people done
Well, the good people say things that they
Dont really mean
They look so convincing cause theyre
So squeaky clean
Look what the good people done to him
Look what the good people done to him
Its a million to one
Look what the good people done
They (? put him on walkin down ? ), they said,
Lets go on with the show
And they pad him on whiskey and say, boy,
Youve got to go
Look what the good people done to him
Look what the good people done to him
Hes (? on the highway ? ) to none
Look what the good people done
All the newspaper men
They were lookin for names
Pulled him out of a hat
They needed someone to blame
Look what the good people done to him
Look what the good people done to him
He thought he was the one
Look what the good people done
Well, the good people say,
Keep your nose to the ground
Then theyll build you right up
Just to knock you right down
Look what the good people done to you
Look what the good people done to you
They were gettin their kicks
Look what the good people nixed

Look what the good people done to me
Look what the good people done to me

Who Do You Believe In?
Do you want someone to come to your rescue?
Do you want someone to believe in you?
Someone who believes in what you do,
And sees everything through,
Someone to give you credit where it's due,
And know that what they're saying is true.
Do you believe in people, who wear a crown,
Do you believe in people, who bear a regal gown,
Do you believe in people that make you frown,
Do you believe in people that break you down?
Do you want someone to answer your prayers?
Do you want to find someone who cares?
Someone who ventures and dares,
Just to be there,
Someone who wants to share,
Their love without compare.
Do you believe in people, who play with lives,
Do you believe in a person, who never ever tries,
Do you believe in people, who you have to idolise,
Do you believe in a person who keeps up the lies?
Do you want someone you can feel?
Do you want someone who is real?
Someone who is completely ideal,
To help you heal,
Someone who will not conceal,
How much, to them, you appeal.

I wont sleep again until I sleep with you
I wont dream again until I dream again with you
My love
One look in your eyes and I see
The light shining through
I truly believe in the magic of all that you do
Give me hope
When I need it
Give me peace
When I feel it
Give me life
When I breathe it
Give me dreams
Keep me dreaming
One look in your eyes and I know
Its right for me and you
Feel the love shine

Do you feel the love shine?

Your flame is the fire that burns in the night
Guiding me through
Drawn out of the darkness and into the light you bring me to
Give me hope
When I need it
Give me peace
When I feel it
Give me life
When I breathe it
Give me dreams
Keep me dreaming
One look in your eyes and I know

Do you feel the love shine?
Feel the love that shines
Do you feel the love shine?
Feel the love that shines
Do you feel the love?
I wont dream again until I dream again with you

All good people got to feel the love
I wont sleep again until I sleep again with you
One chance in a million
To find a true love between two
Taken by the powers of what you believe
Knowing you cant lose
Give me hope
When I need it
Give me peace
When I feel it
Give me life
When I breathe it
Give me dreams
Keep me dreaming
One look in your eyes and I know
It was meant for me and you
Do you feel the love shine?
Feel the love that shines
Do you feel the love shine?
Feel the love that shines
Do you feel the love shine?
I wont dream again until I dream again with you
Do you feel the love shine?
I wont sleep again until

Do you feel the love shine?
Beyond the sun
Beyond the sky
These very questions lie
Starlight
Loving, in a lifetime
It was the first time candlelight
Something happens in your lifetime
Its the dance we all go through
Bring it in now
Bring it in true
Bring it in fast
Bring it right through
Right through
Feel the love shine
