Oh, there may be times
When you wish you wasn't born
And you wake one morning
Just to find your courage gone
But just know that feelin'
Only lasts a little while
You just stick with us
And we'll show you how to smile!
Ease on down, ease on down the road
Come on ease on down, ease on down the road
Eese on down, ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing
That might be a load
Come on ease on down, ease on down the road
Eese on down, ease on down the road

(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
No one, no one gets the prize
No one, no one
No one gets the prize
We were best of friends
It all began
He came in to town and changed the plan
I knew she felt, the same as me
Which one of us would it be
Just in fun, fight begun
Before long a web of hate was spun
she pretended same as me
Oh, but friends again we'd never be
No one, no one gets the prize
She told him lies, and I told him lies
No one, no one gets the prize
She schemed and dreamed and told him dirt
That I was wrong for him
I told him all the boys she'd hurt and I would number them
He was the ray of light that made our hearts live
But either one of us knew really how to give
So we scandalized and criticized
And then we learned how to despise
No one, no one gets the prize
She told him lies and I lied, I lied yeah
No one, no one gets the prize
No, no, no
Yeah, yeah
Back off
Tried to steal him, tried to steal him
Tried to steal him
Runnin' behind my back
Tried to steal him
Tried to show him where it was at
Watch it now
No, no I won't take second place
No, no tell him to his face
We were friends for so, so, so long
Messed around, now he's gone gone gone gone
No one, no one gets the prize
No, no
No one, no one gets the prize
I wasn't alive, a love that's satisfied
No one, no one gets the prize
It wasn't fair, the love I couldn't share
No one, no one gets the prize
No, no
No one, no one gets the prize
No one, no one gets the prize
She lied, I lied, we lied
No one, no one

(Deke Richards)
As I glance across the table
Your empty chair is out of place
Living here just ain't that easy now
But there are signs of trying on my face
We need you
You're the strength
You're the sunshine of our days
We need you
And the wisdom of your ways
In our dreams, you are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you
Life is one long lonely day
Both the kids, they still love you
You know, they always ask me
When is daddy coming home
Then we talk, and laugh about the good times
Without you, they still feel so alone
We need you
You're the strength
You're the sunshine of our day
We need you
And the wisdom of your way
In our dreams
You are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you, life is one long lonely day
Someone's knocking at the door of my heart
Telling me what we need
Is a brand new start
That ain't true
We need you
In our dreams
You are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you life is one long lonely day
We need you
We need you
In our dreams you are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you life is one long lonely day
We need you
We need you
In our dreams
You are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you life is one long lonely day

(Quincy Jones/Charlie Smalls)
EMERALD CITY GREEN:
I want to be seen green
Wouldn't be caught dead, red
'Cause if you are seen green
It means you got mean bread
You've got to be seen green
To show that you're stuff's layed
If you're not seen green
You better be wearing jade
Oh, you've got to be seen green
Don't tell them your cupboard's bare
That you gave up one week's feed
To pay for your colored hair
Oh, oh, oh
AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE GREAT POWERFUL OZ:
I thought it over and green is dead
'Till I change my mind, the color is red
EMERALD CITY RED:
I wouldn't be seen green
Ooo! Oo! Oo! Ah! Ah!
I wouldn't be caught dead
And if I'm caught at all
Then catch me in dead, red
Ooo!
You've got to be dead red
You've got to be real hot
So throw away those green gems
And wear rubies on your yacht
You've got to be dead, red
You've got to have flash and flair
And if you're not seen red
Then you shouldn't be seen nowhere
Ah!
How quickly fashion goes down the drain.
Last week when you all was wearin' pink
Already for me red was old.
The ultimate brick is gold.
That's the new color, children
EMERALD CITY GOLD:
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
You got to be seen gold
Watch out for the new kind
You got to have old gold
Like some from a gold mine
You got to be wearin' gold
The twenty four carat kind
And once you've shined it up
It should ought to make you blind, ah!
You got to be seen in gold
To show that you're super slick
It helps to pay tips and tolls
It's the ultimate yellow brick
It's the ultimate
Gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Gold, gold, gold, gold
Gold!

(Luther Vandross)
Everybody look around
'Cause there's a reason to rejoice you see
Everybody come out
And let's commence to singing joyfully
Everybody look up
And feel the hope that we've been waiting for
Everybody's glad
Because our silent fear and dread is gone
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness
Hello world
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we've got liberty
It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness
Hello world
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we've got liberty
It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?

(Paul Carrack/Nick Lowe)
I live on a battlefield
Surrounding by the ruins of a love we built
And them destroyed between us
The smoke has cleared
As I stumble through the rubble
I'm dazed, seeing double
And I'm truly mystified
My new home is a shell-hole filled
With tears and muddy water
And bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devestation
Of a love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield
Though one where not one
Single drop of blood has spilled
Is no less horryfying
Sweet memories
Of a bygone situation
Lie shattered, torn and battered
And scattered all around
My new home is a shell-hole filled
With tears and muddy water
And bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devestation
Of a love been torn apart
Everything that can, has gone wrong
It's gonna take spine to carry on
Like a drownin' woman coming up for air
I'm looking for another survivor
I can't see one anywhere
My new home is a shell-hole filled
With tears and muddy water
And bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devestation
Of a love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield, hey
I live on a battlefield, hey
Can't go on, baby
Tears and muddy water
Scattered all around me, babe
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield

(L. Stack/C. Christensen)
You keep running to me
And I keep running for cover
I'm not gonna give in
You may be my kind of lover
You move closer to me
Give a chance, you can find
I'm right in the thought of you
Overtakin' my mind
But ('cause) when you hold me close
So warm and tender
Oh, sweet surrender
You keep running to me
I keep running for cover
I won't give in to you
Though you're my kind of lover
But ('cause) when you hold me close
So warm and tender
Oh, sweet surrender
You're shaking me up
With just your touch
You know I wanted you so
I wanna give it all up
You can do what you wanna do
I can't resist, I surrender to you
It's gotta be fate
'Cause I can't deny you
Can't change the way I feel
No matter how I try to
But ('cause) when you hold me close
So warm and tender
Oh, sweet surrender
Oh, sweet surrender
You shake me up
With just a touch
You know I wanted you so
I'm gonna give it all up
You can do what you wanna do
I can't resist, I surrender to you
It's gotta be fate
'Cause I can't deny you
Can't change the way I feel
No matter how I try to
But ('cause) when you hold me close
So warm and tender
Oh, sweet surrender
I can't deny you
Hold me close
Hold me

(Diana Ross/Stan Scates)
What is this I hear
Falling softly in my ears
Quietly telling me to wipe away my tears
Yesterdays are gone
And love has cleared the way
No matter who you are
You can touch the stars
Life's interactions can make you smile
Just listen to the voice in your heart
The voice is near you, it's never too far
The voice is with you, where ever you are
It's closer than close, calling to your heart
I hear the voice of love
I hear the voice of love
The voice will never leave you
It lives deep down inside
It's calling you, asking you
To open up your heart
All things are achievable
Nothing is impossible
You can reach your highest high
You can make it if you try
Life's interactions can make you smile
Just listen to the voice in your heart
The voice is near you, it's never too far
The voice is with you, where ever you are
It's closer than close, calling to your heart
I hear the voice of love
I hear the voice of love
Follow where it leads you in the dark
The voice will guide your heart
The voice is always near
I hear the voice, I found the voice
From the mountains to the sea
The voice of love is calling me
Where ever you are, the voice is near you
It's never too far, the voice is with you
I hear the voice of love
I hear the voice of love
I hear the voice of love

(Michael Masser/Allee Willis)
How do you live with a broken heart?
Everytime you come too close
I just run away
I need you so much
And that's so hard to say
There is me and there is you
And I get confused
And sooner or later
I know that I'll have to choose
You know it's true
I'm crying my heart out for you
What can I do
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again
I'm crying my heart out for you
No-one in love likes to lose
How do you live with a broken heart
And I can honestly say
I wanna be on my own
That too bare existence
When I was all alone
I know you're not asking me
To just live for you
But it's always how I've loved
And all I know how to do
You know it's true
I'm crying my heart out for you
What can I do
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again
I'm crying my heart out for you
No-one in love likes to lose
But how do you live with a broken heart?
Once again I'm falling in love
Like a fool I'm falling in love
And I don't know what I'm doing
Once again it's somebody else
That I need, I'm losing myself
And I'm scared of what I'm feeling
It's true
I'm crying my heart out for you
What can I do
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again
I'm crying my heart out for you
No-one in love likes to lose
Once again I'm falling in love
Like a fool I'm falling in love
And I don't know what I'm doing, doing
Once again it's somebody else
That I need, I'm losing myself
And I'm scared of what I'm feeling
About you
I'm crying my heart out for you
What can I do
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again
I'm crying my heart out for you
What can I do
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again

(Charlie Smalls)
Think of home
Home
When I think of home
I think of a place where there's love overflowing
I wish I was home
I wish I was back there with the things I been knowing
Wind that makes the tall trees bend into leaning
Suddenly the snowflakes that fall have a meaning
Sprinklin' the scene, makes it all clean
Maybe there's a chance for me to go back there
Now that I have some direction
It would sure be nice to be back home
Where there's love and affection
And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time in my life to grow up
Time be my friend, let me start again
Suddenly my world has changed it's face
But I still know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun around in space
And yet I've watched it growing
If you're list'ning God
Please don't make it hard to know
If we should believe in the things that we see
Tell us, should we run away
Should we try and stay
Or would it be better just to let things be?
Living here, in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy
But it taught me to love
So it's real, real to me
And I've learned
That we must look inside our hearts
To find a world full of love
Like yours
Like me
Like home...

(Charlie Smalls)
When I wake up in the afternoon
Which it pleases me to do
Don't nobody bring me no bad news
'Cause I wake up already negative
And I've wired up my fuse
So don't nobody bring me no bad news
If we're going to be buddies
Better bone up on the rules
'Cause don't nobody bring me no bad news
You can be my best of friends
As opposed to payin' dues
But don't nobody bring me no bad news
No bad news
No bad news
Don't you ever bring me no bad news
'Cause I'll make you an offer, child
That you cannot refuse
So don't nobody bring me no bad news
When you're talking to me
Don't be cryin' the blues
'Cause don't nobody bring me no bad news
You can verbalize and vocalize
But just bring me the clues
But don't nobody bring me no bad news
Bring some message in your head
Or in something you can't lose
But don't you ever bring me no bad news
If you're gonna bring me something
Bring me, something I can use
But don't you bring me no bad news

(Charlie Smalls)
There is a place we'll go
Where there is mostly quiet
Flowers and butterflies
A rainbow lives beside it
And from a velvet sky
A summer storm
You can feel the coolness in the air
But you're still warm
And then a mighty roar
Will start the sky to cryin'
But not even light'ning
Will be frightening my lion
And with no fear inside
No need to run
No need to hide
You're standing strong and tall
You're the bravest of them all
If on courage you must call
Then just keep on tryin'
And tryin', and tryin'
You're a lion
In your own way, be a lion
Come on be a lion
I am standing strong and tall
You're the bravest of them all
If on courage you must call
Keep on tryin'
And tryin', and tryin'
I'm a lion
In my own way
I'm a lion
A lion
A lion
A lion

(Cydney Davis/Lloyd Tolbert)
We have been together much too long
God has given us a special bond
Let's take it and make it last forever
You have given me so much respect
You put your love for me above all else
Understand, you're my man
Can't wait to show you
What I'll do
When I say I do
I'll do it just for you
You're gonna love it
Think it's time for us to set a date
So much harder for us both to wait, so long
It's getting strong
And I can't hold it
I know this kind of love is heaven sent
And I've got faith that this was always meant to be
You and me
And I can't wait to show you
What I'll do
When I say I do
You know my love is true
You're gonna love it
What I'll do
When I say I do
I'll do it just for you
You're gonna love it
I've got a vision
Of passion's burning fire
I've made a decision
To give you all your desire
I've been thinking 'bout loving you
All night, all day, ain't gonna give you a break
Our honeymoon will last forever
I hope that you're in shape
For what I'll do
So what you want me to do?
I know this kind of love is heaven sent
I got faith that this was always meant to be
You and me
I can't wait to show you
What I'll do
When I say I do
You know my love is true
You're gonna love it
What I'll do
When I say I do
I'll do it just for you
You're gonna love it
What I'll do
When I say I do
You know my love is true
You're gonna love it
What I'll do
When I say I do
I'll do it just for you
You're gonna love it

(Diane Warren/Robbie Buchanan)
We said we'd try again
But trying's not enough
Acting like strangers
Ain't no way of making love
It's never gonna work
It's time we stop pretending
It's time to turn the page
All stories need an ending
It makes no sense to stay
Livin' my life in yesterday
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
And I'm begging you
Heart, don't change my mind
Oh, heart be strong this time and try
To help me tell him goodbye
It'll only bring pain for us to stay
Oh, heart it's hard for you I know
Let me, let him go
Don't let me think about
How good it was before
I know you'd try anything
To keep me from that door
It's hard to leave him
When you've loved him for so long now
How can I walk away
If you're still holding on now?
I've finally found the strength
Look at me, I can finally say
It's over, it's over
So, I'm begging you
Heart, don't change my mind
Oh, heart be strong this time and try
To help me tell him goodbye
It'll only bring pain for us to stay
Oh, heart it's hard for you I know
Let me, let him go
It makes no sense to stay
Sad that it has to end this way
It's over, it's over
Heart, don't change my mind
Oh, heart be strong this time and try
To help me tell him goodbye
It'll only bring pain for us to stay
Oh, heart it's hard for you I know
Let me, let him go
Heart, don't change my mind
Oh, heart it's hard for you I know
Let me, let him go
Let me, let him go

(N. Rodgers/G. Smith)
Dancin', dancin'
Keep on dancing
So you don't have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you don't have to feel the pain
Fate has dealt you a losing hand
Ever since the day that your life began
Wish you had some stronger ties
There's no one around to hear you cry
Move on up now, don't you see
Stop pretending you need a quick release
In the nighttime, in the rain
Like a moth drawn to the flame
Keep on dancing
So you don't have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you don't have to feel the pain
Some people think they have everything
But they're living in emotional poverty
They use their fronts making deals oh, mighty sharp
There's no love and they're bankrupt in the heart
Sky above and earth below
You can't hide, there's no place you can go
From yourself you can't run
When truth hurts it's not much fun
Keep on dancing
So you don't have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you don't have to feel the pain
Keep on dancing
So you don't have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you don't have to feel the pain
Dancin', dancin', dancin'
Dancin'
Keep on
Keep on
Dancin'
Sky above and earth below
You can't hide, there's no place you can go
From yourself you can't run
When truth hurts it's not much fun
Keep on dancing
So you don't have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you don't have to feel the pain

(L. Taylor)
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
He calls me up
He says
I'd like to see you
I hear his voice
And it's hard to say no
It's always so good
Each time that I'm with him
My head says watch out
But my heart always gives in
And I'm caught in the game again
'Cause after he leaves
I'm never the same again
I just got me to blame again
It's easy to see he wants to be free
I can never win
Oh, but wouldn't you know it
I think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
He says as he leaves
We both gotta be free now
I turn with a smile and I say
Don't worry 'bout me now
But deep down inside
I wish he could care for
A heart that would love him
But that's not what he's there for
And I'm caught in the game again
'Cause after he leaves
I'm never the same again
I just got me to blame again
It's easy to see he wants to be free
I can never win
Oh, but wouldn't you know it
I think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
I'm never the same again
I can never win
Oh, wouldn't you know it
I think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again

(Toshifumi Hinata/John Bettis/PeterAsher/Diana Ross)
Time after time
And any time at all
I could turn to you
With my back to the wall
And you would always give to me
All I asked of you
That's why I call you my friend
You will be my friend
Now 'till my life is ended
So many tears
That you have turned to smiles
I can't believe we survived
All the endless miles
Two hearts broken together
Will heal into one
That's why I call you my friend
You will be my friend
Now 'till my life is ended
Sweet love and tenderness
All our hopes and dreams
Will take us through the hard times
Let winter come
As cold as it will be
My arms are open wide
You can just run to me
As warm as any summer
I am here for you
That's why I call you my friend
You will be my friend
Now 'till my life is ended
As friend

(Marsha Malamet/Liz Vidal)
From your lips to God's ear
May every wish and every prayer find its way
Always be heard and every day
May you see them answered
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
Your hearts reflection comes shining through
Brighter than the sun
Stronger than you knew
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
With each tear, with each smile
May you hold life dear
Learning all the wise
What can't be changed, try to accept
And though you'll make mistakes
May you find forgiveness
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
Your hearts reflections comes shining through
Brighter than the sun
Stronger than you knew
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
And in the ones you love (love)
Find shelter and have faith (faith)
And through whatever comes (comes)
Rejoice and celebrate (celebrate)
In the ones who love you
Your hearts reflection comes shining through
Brighter than the sun (brighter)
Stronger than you knew (stronger)
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
Your hearts reflections comes shining through
Brighter than the sun (brighter)
Stronger than you knew (stronger)
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
Your hearts reflection comes shining through
Brighter than the sun (brighter)
Stronger than you knew
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
Your hearts reflections comes shining through
Brighter than the sun
Brighter than the sunset
Stronger than you knew

(Michael Randall)
If your heart is breaking
'Cause your dream's not coming true
Leave a little room
To start again
If your faith is shaken
Though it seems you thought it through
Leave a little room
For it to mend
Leave a little room
To find a friend
Leave a little room
To start again
First you think you're alone
And the world's made of stone
And the game isn't fair
'Till you know someone cares
'Till someone cares
If your love is leaving
And you thought that it was true
Leave a little room
To think again
If your heart is bleeding
And you don't know what to do
Leave a little room
For it to mend
Leave a little room
To find a friend
Leave a little room
To start again
And you're glad you're alive
You've got nothing to hide
And the feeling is free
And the feeling is me
If your heart is breaking
'Cause your dream's not coming true
Leave a little room
To start again
If your love is leaving
And you thought that it was true
Leave a little room
To find it
Put a little faith behind it
Leave a little room
And start again
Leave a little room
To find it
Put a little faith behind it
Leave a little room
And start again
Leave a little room
To start again

(Michael Masser/Gerry Goffin)
Feel like a fool
Not realizing all the value you had
I took a happy ending and made it sad
The day I walked away and left you alone
with hardly an explanation
You stood on your own
And handled the situation
And showed to me
How understanding you could be
Now I'm alone
Looking back at all the years that we shared
Thinking of the pain you should have been spared
Afraid to ask forgiveness
But where can I go
There's no one else to turn to
I still have my pride
But now its time to learn to cast it aside
And come to you with honesty
Give me just one more chance
Such a simple thing I'm asking for
Just one more chance
It would be a shame to close the door to
One more chance
Isn't that what we pray each night for?
One more chance
Isn't that what we're fighting for?
Why throw away a love that needs one more chance
Now I'm afraid that after all I've said
You'll still turn me down and you'll smile
And say I'll see you around
But remember that you still have a choice
And I hope and pray you'll make it
You'll think of my heart
And you won't wanna break it
And I'll prove to you the kind of lady I can be
Give me just one more chance
Such a simple thing I'm asking for
Just one more chance
It would be a shame to close the door to
One more chance
Isn't that what we pray each night for?
One more chance
Isn't that what we're fighting for?
One more chance
Don't you know that we belong together
One more chance
Now I really need you more than ever
One more chance
You and I can really make it baby
One more chance
All you have do is say the words to
One more chance
One more
One more chance
One more chance

(Charlie Smalls)
Put your arms around me child
Like when you bumped your shin
Then you'll know I love you now
As I loved you then
Though you maybe trying sometimes
And I'll need you
And you're not there
You know I may get mad
And turn away
But you know that I still care
But you cannot ask for more
Than can come from me
I am older than you are
And one day you'll see
If I lose my patience with you
And I suddenly start to scream
It's only because I just want you to be
Everything that I see in my dreams
And I'd like to know it's there
The feeling that we have
When you know that you can come
Running to me
Whenever times are bad
Don't lose the feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling that we have
Though you are growing older now
And I'm watching you grow
I know I make you sad sometimes
And I see your feeling show
But one day I'll look around
And you will be grown
You'll be out in the world
Such a pretty girl
You'll be on your own
And I'd like to know it's there
The feeling that we have
Knowing that you can come to me
Whenever you are sad
And I'd like to know it's there
The feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling that we have

(Quincy Jones/Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
Feeling?
Feeling?
Swear to God this is more than I can deal with
Thinkin' back on that old song
Where did I go wrong by caring and sharing
Mean together no matter
I can't stand not knowing
Is this what feeling gets
A hope for happy endings?
Alone and scared
Something I don't want to be
What did he see when he looked inside of me?
If this is just a dream
How come I feel like screaming?
This is the real world
Gotta do what you must, girl
Well
Can I?
Can I?
Is this what feeling gets?
So is there a happy ending?
There's nothing here but the fear of
Will I try?
And can I stare it in the eye
Not ever knowing why?
Please
Please
Can someone tell me why?

(Charlie Smalls)
Come on!
'Cause there may be times
When you think you lost your mind
And each steps you're takin'
Leave you three, four steps behind
'Cause the road you're walking
Might be long sometimes
But just keep on steppin'
And you'll be just fine
Ease on down
Ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down
Ease on down the road

That might be a load

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing that might be a load
Come on, ease on down, ease on down, down the road
Pick your left foot up
When your right foot's down
Come on legs keep movin'
Don't you lose no ground
You just keep on keepin'
On the road that you choose
Don't you give up walkin'
'Cause you gave up shoes, no
Ease on down, ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing that might be a load
Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road

When you think you lost your mind
And the steps you're takin'
Leave you three, four steps behind
But the road you're walking
Might be long sometimes

And you'll be just fine, yeah
Ease on down, ease on down the road

Don't you carry nothing that might be a load
Come on, ease on down, ease on down the
Oh, there maybe times
When you wish you wasn't born
And you wake one morning
Just to find that your courage's gone
But just know that feeling
Only last a little while
You just stick with us
And we'll show you how to smile, yeah
Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down
Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down

(Quincy Jones/Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
Lose it?
Lose it?
I don't even know the first thing
About what they're feeling
What am I afraid of?
Don't know what I'm made of
Can I go on
Not knowing?
Feeling?
Feeling?
Something tells me
That it's more than I can deal with
Though I never knew the song
Some words still catch on
Like caring and sharing
Being together no matter
Can I go on
Not knowing?
Don't know what I'm made of
Why am I afraid of feeling?
Feeling?
If I dare to take a chance
Would someone lead me?

(Charlie Smalls)
If you believe
Within your heart
You'll know that no one can change
The path that you must go
Believe what you feel
And know you're right because
The time will come around
When you'll say it's yours
Believe that you can go home
Believe you can float on air
Then click your heels three times
If you believe
Then you'll be there
That's why I want you to
Believe in yourself
Right from the start
Believe in the magic
Right there in your heart
Go ahead believe all these things
Not because I told you to
But believe in yourself
If you believe in yourself
Just believe in yourself
As I believe in you

(N. Rodgers/G. Smith)
What can one person do
More than a little bit
More than a little bit
Can I fight the battle
All by myself
Can I make a miracle happen
As long as I can think
And got my health
I'll never stop
I'm too strong for that
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
Everyone's gotta move
What they can move
The faithful can sometimes move mountains
When your faith is right
You will never lose your heart, your hope
Or your good friends
Don't be overcome by frustrations
Live up to your highest expectations
I'm tellin' you just for your information
Just for, just for your information
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
Looked into my soul and suspected
That I'm gonna take, gonna take on the unexpected
Walked into the fire unprotected
Walk into the fire
What can one person do
What can one person be
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me

(Charlie Smalls)
Say what you wanna
But I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
You can go where you're gonna
But don't get in my way
I'm a mean ole lion
You'll be standing in a draft
If you don't hear me laugh
And if you happen to come around
Well, you best not make me frown
For I just might knock you down
I'm a mean ole lion
You know I'm ready to fight
And turn your day into night
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
If you're half bright
You'll detour to the right
From a mean ole lion
All you strangers better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let you slide
Don't just stand here
Run and hide
You just caught my better side
I'm a mean ole lion
Look,
You better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let you slide
Don't stand here
Run and hide
You just caught my better side
I'm a mean ole lion
I'm a mean ole lion

(Joe Galdo/Lawrence Dermer/Rafael Vigil)
Nothing has changed, same as it was
It's time to think about the future
Forget about the past
Once it's all gone, you can't go back
So now it's up to us to find a way
To try and make it last
Until you give your heart completely
Unless you take that chance
Then it can't happen
It's not all in vain
We can make a change
Just you and I
Everythings is left in our hands
We've gotta make a resolution
We need a better plan
Don't go too slow
We must move fast
There has to be a way to make it work
To keep it in our grasp
Until you give your heart completely
Unless you take that chance
Then it can't happen
It's not all in vain
We can make a change
Just you and I
We gotta stay together
Gotta find a ray of hope in stormy weather
Trying to make it better
Till we find a way to make it last forever
Some things remain, others have gone
It's up to us to get solutions
We must come up with one
Can't get it wrong. It must be right
Because we lost too many battles
And we gotta win the fight
Until you give your heart completely
Unless you take that chance
Then it can't happen
It's not all in vain
We can make a change
Just you and I
Everything is the same as it was
It's up to us to try to find a way
To try to make it last

(Michael Sembello)
In the news today
Heavy weather
Oh, I can remember
The skies were so blue
That lucky old moon I promised to you
Now it's gone lately
Something's happening
I don't understand
Oh, how come Decembers
Are hotter that June?
And how come the flowers
Don't know when to bloom?
Something's wrong, people
Something's happening
Happening where we live
The rising smoke against an endless sea of cars
As mother nature gets another senseless scar
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy weather
The rain is falling harder each day
The faces keep changing
But the problem remains
Something's wrong, people
Right before our eyes
We've been hypnotized
The sound of silence
Broken by the sound of war
How can we heal
If we keep opening up the sore?
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy weather
Will we ever hear the message?
Read the signs?
Stop all this talking now
It's time to save our lives
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy...
The road ahead keeps leading back again
The train we're on is coming to an end
Let's open up our eyes
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy weather
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather

(P. Glass/S. Ray/S. Birch)
You, heard somebody sayin'
That I loved another (ooh ooh ooh)
They don't know, it's not easy fakin'
Lies about your lover (ooh ooh ooh)
Nothing they could tell you
Would change the way it feels
But when they, try to come between us
We still have each other (ooh ooh ooh)
I've heard it all, and I have my faults
But I could never hurt you, I love you through it all
Take the bitter with the sweet
Two hearts are stronger together
Love can be forever
Take the bitter with the sweet
We can't let rumors affect us
We just, have to trust
I, want you more than ever
No matter what they told you (ooh ooh ooh)
If they pry, doesn't really matter
Long as I can hold you (ooh ooh ooh)
People can say what they want to say
But you know that I love you, it's better every day
Take the bitter with the sweet
Two hearts are stronger together
Love can be forever
Take the bitter with the sweet
We can't let rumors affect us
We just, have to trust

I used to get along
Tried hard to be so strong
What was I doing?
Honey, I thought I had it made
Proud of my masquerade
Who was I fooling?
I thought I was so smart
Nobody touched my heart
I took my chances
But then you opened up my heart
You made me realize
I had no answers
You came along at just the right time
Speaking these words
That made me change my mind
One can fake it
Two can make it
We don't need no more
Love feels better made together
Babe, ain't this what we've been waiting for?
Honey, two hearts can make a pair
We got so much to share as we get older
I'll keep on thanking you
All of my whole life through
Over and over
You came along
At just the right time
Speaking these words
That made me change my mind
One can fake it
Two can make it
We don't need no more
Love feels better made together
Babe, ain't this what we've been waiting for?
Ain't this what we've been waiting for?
Baby
One can fake it
Two can make it
We don't need no more
Love feels better made together
Babe, ain't this what we've been waiting for?
One can fake it
Two can make it
We don't need no more
Love feels better made together
Babe, ain't this what we've been waiting for?
One can fake it
Two can make it
We don't need no more
Love feels better made together
Babe, ain't this what we've been waiting for?

Just close your eyes
And slowly drift away
Call the stars down from the skies
It's the end of another day
Let your spirits fly
Into this magic night
You should be fast asleep
Bathed in golden light
It's late at night
I watch you sleep
Holding you tight
My love will protect and keep you strong
All night long
Dreams are for dreamers
Who somehow lost their way
Once you find the secret
There's no need to be afraid
And tell the bad dreams to just go away
Dreams are like rainbows
Just follow where they lead
In your dreams you found the lock
In your prayers you'll find the key
My love will guide you
High above the stars
In dreams you can do many wonderful things
Even find out who you are
When you dream I'll be there
Just picture me in your mind
When you're scared
I'll take care of you
When you dream I'll be there
If you need someone to hold
Hold on to me
That's all you have to do
To make you dreams come true
Dreams can be magic
If the truth is what you seek
Open up your heart
And you'll be forever free
When you dream
And tell the bad dreams
To just go away...

(Toshifumi Hinata/Bill Wray/Diana Ross)
Last night I had a dream
Lost in a golden paradise
Trying hard to find my way
Every day a new surprise
I found something wonderful
Here in my private world
All alone in the darkness
The truth can make you strong
Did you ever kiss the sky
Did you ever dream at night
Did you ever wonder why
Stars fall from the sky
Birds know how to fly
Day breaks and I'm awake
No dark clouds hanging over me
Holding on for heaven's sakes
Trusting's hard to do
It's a long road, where does it end
Hand in hand with you my friend
We can never give up, never give in
Look how far you've come
Did you ever kiss the sky
Did you ever dream at night
Did you ever wonder why
Stars fall from the sky
Birds know how to fly
My hopes, my fears, my dreams
Come shining through
As long as I have you
I have you
Did you ever kiss the sky
Did you ever dream at night
Did you ever wonder why
Stars fall from the sky
Birds know how to fly
Did you ever kiss the sky
Did you ever dream at night
Did you ever wonder why
Did you ever kiss the sky
Did you ever dream at night
Did you ever wonder why

(Toshifumi Hinata/Bill Wray/Diana Ross)
In a world of make believe
You can change all that you see
But in the world of reality
You've taught me all that I need
Time like a river flows
Twisting and turning all the way
Life is an endless road
You've been with me day by day
The only way I can thank you
Is to be the best that I can be
If we hold on together
Just you and me
A mother's love is forever
A mother's love is for free
It doesn't matter if you're good or bad
She's there for whatever you need
In the world of fantasy
Hold on to your dreams
Open up your heart and see
All the love you need is me
Time like a river flows
Twisting and turning all the way
Life is an endless road
You've been with me day by day
You are you and I am me
You've made me all that I am
Heart to heart and hand to hand
Always there to understand
A mother's love is forever
A mother's love is for free
It doesn't matter if you're good or bad
She's there for whatever you need
Doesn't matter if you're good or bad
There's nothing like a mother's love

(Marvin Gaye/Al CLeveland)
I just want to ask a question
Who really cares?
To save a world
A world in despair
Who cares?
There'll come a time, when the world won't be singing
And flowers won't grow, no, bells won't be ringin'
But who cares?
Who really cares?
Who's willing to try to save the world
That is destined to die
When I look at the world it fills me with sorrow
Little children today really suffer tomorrow
Oh what a shame, what a sad way to live
All who is to blame, when we can't stop livin'
You gotta live, live for life
But let live everybody
Live life for the children
Oh, for the children
You see, we have to save the babies
Save the babies
Save the babies, save the babies
If you wanna love, save the babies
All the children all over the world

(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circustent was strong
With every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsle and gold
Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Oh girl you're through
All you can count on are your fingers
Unlucky little girl blue
Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use oh girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer little girl blue

(Paul Williams/R. Nichols)
Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong,
I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care
You're always there
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to be
Without a friendly face,
A lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you always smile
It's all worth while
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringin'
I can't really lose when you're near
When you're near my love
If all my friends have forgotten all their promisses
They're not unkind,
Just hard to find
One look at you and I know that
I could learn to live without the rest
I found the best
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day...

(Oscar Brown Jr.)
Brown baby
Brown baby
As you grow up
I want you to drink from the plenty cup
I want you to stand up
Tall and proud
I want you to speak up
Speak up clear and cloud
Brown baby
Brown baby
As years roll by
Walk with your head held high
I want you to live by
Live by the justice code
I want you to walk down
Walk down the freedom road
Brown baby
Brown baby
Now baby
Lie away
Lie away sleeping
Lie away here in my arms
While your mommy and daddy protect you
And keep you save from harm
Brown baby
Brown baby
It makes me so glad
That you will have things
I've never had
When out of men's hearts
All the hate is hurled
You're gonna live
You're gonna live in a better world
Brown baby
Mmammamama
Brown baby
Mmammamama
Sweet thing
Lie away sleeping

(Charlie Smalls)
You can't win
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
People keep sayin'
Things are gonna change
But they look just like they're staying the same
You get in
Way over your head
And you've only got yourself to blame
You can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win
The world keeps movin'
And you're standin' far behind
People keep sayin'
Things 'll get better
Just to ease your state of mind
So you lay back
And you smoke that smoke
And you drink your glass of wine
You can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win
You can't win
No way if your story stays the same
You ain't winnin'
But it's nice to see you
I'm awfully glad you came
Better cool it
'Cause it ain't about losin'
Then the world has got no shame
You can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win
You can't win
You can't break even
Ain't the way
It's supposed to be
You'll be spendin'
Your little bit of money
While someone else ride free
Learn your lesson, refuel your mind
Before some turkey blows out your flame

(Charlie Smalls)
What would I do
If I could suddenly feel
And to know once again
That what I feel is real?
I could cry
I could smile
I might lay back for a while
Oh, tell me what
What would I do if I could feel?
What would I do
If I could reach inside of me
And to know how it feels
To say I like what I see?
Then I'd be more
than glad to share
All that I have inside of here
And the songs
My heart might bring
You'd be more
Than glad to sing
And if tears should fall from my eyes
Just think of all the wounds
They could mend
And just think of all the time
I could spend
Just being vuln'rable again
Oh, tell me what
What would I do?
Oh, tell me what
What would I do?
Oh, tell me what
What would I do
If I could feel?

(Charlie Smalls)
Miss One?
Munchkins?
There's a feeling here inside
That I cannot hide
And I know I've tried
But it's turning me around
I'm not sure that I'm aware
If I'm up or down
Or here or there
I need both feet on the ground
Maybe I'm just going crazy
Let myself get uptight
I'm acting just like a baby
But I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be alright
Soon as I get home
Soon as I get home
Soon as I get home
In a different place
In a different time
Different people around me
I would like to know of that different world
And how different they find me
And just what's a Wiz
Is he big, will he scare me?
If I ask to leave
Will the Wiz even hear me?
How will I know then
If I'll ever get home again?
Here I am alone
Though it feels the same
I don't know where I'm going
I'm here on my own
And it's not a game
And a strange wind is blowing
I'm so amazed
At the things that I see here
Don't want to be afraid
I just don't want to be afraid
I just don't want to be here
In my mind this is clear
What am I doing here?
I wish I was home
I wish
I wish
I wish

(Charlie Smalls)
Slide some oil to me
Let it trickle down my spine
If you don't have S.T.P.
Crisco will do just fine
Slide some to my elbows
And to my fingers if you would
Slide some oil to me, girl
Whoo! Don't that feel good!
Slide some oil to my feet, look
I got toes again
Come on and slide some oil to my knees
And let me see if I can bend
Slide some oil to me
I'm beginning to feel just fine
Slide some oil down my throat
And let me lubricate my mind
Slide some oil to me
go ahead, hit my shoulder blades
Those who don't have to lubricate
Sure got it made
Slide some oil to me
Let it slip down my side
Laying there in one position
Sure does make me tired
Now watch me dance!
And let me lubricate my mind

(George Weiss/Robert Thiele)
";This is a song
It's about our world
It's about our environment";
I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I say to myself
What a wonderful world
I said to myself
What a wonderful...
";You say it";
...world
";I love you";

(N. Rodgers/G. Smith)
Stand up, stand tall, and be counted
Divided we fall, together we stand, together
Our love has all never doubt it
Alone we fall, together we stand, together
When we're playin' the game of life
What we pay is a heavy price
If you choose the wrong path
You will lose, that's so right
Be prepared, you might have to make some sacrifice
I can feel we can make it
I believe, when there's no longer seperation, we'll succeed
Here's a chance, better take it
Time won't wait for us, everyone come on
Stand up, stand tall, and be counted
Divided we fall, together we stand, together
Our love has all never doubt it
Alone we fall, together we stand, together
I'm afraid we will never learn
that's why I'm sayin' I'm so concerned
Turn around and look, this court is adjourned
Before we get beyond the point of no return
Leave us not be forsaken
Let me speak my peace
The pen is mightier than the sword, or so it seems
Here's a chance, better take it
Time won't wait for us, everyone come on
Stand up, stand tall, and be counted
Divided we fall, together we stand, together
Our love has all never doubt it
Alone we fall, together we stand, together
On the stage of a theatre
A production of all the feelings
That we're feeling all surrounding us
In the words of a playwright
One is not enough
To experience the act called love
Called trust-called love-called trust

(Nick Martinelli/A.Brown/B.Wayy)
Too many nights
Too many tears
Too many years
Too many nights I've waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep
Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through
I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend
I thought that I could make it on my own
And the thought of starting over again
Scared me into staying here with you
Long after all the heartache began
I'm through with waiting in an empty bed
One for dinner when it should be two
I'm tired of holding back what should be said
I'm gonna let it go and stand up to you
Hey, too many nights I've waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep
Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through
I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend
My pride was swallowed one too many times
I've kept on turning my back on the truth
Now I'm as serious as a heart attack
'Coz I've decided baby, we're through
I'm growing stronger from experience
The woman in me's taking a stand
You taught me good, I learned my lesson well
And I'm never gonna let it happen again, no
Too many nights I've waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep
Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through
I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend
I'm gonna turn the page
Put heartache in the past
I gotta think about getting strong
And I'll put all those memories on the shelf
And make the space for someone else
(Too many nights I've waited around for you)
Too many nights
(Too many nights)
Too many nights
Hey, too many tears I've cried but now I'm through
(I'm through)
I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend
Too many nights I've waited around for you
I've waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep
Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through
I cried, cried, cried
Too many nights
Too many tears
Too many years

(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
I'm in the world
I'm in the world
I'm in the world
I must be part of it
At last convinced
To the right of it
I'm in the world
For some reason or another
Sometimes I get up
And sometimes I don't bother
But I'm here
I'm here for, oh Lord, who knows?
My light gets dim
Then it glows, ooh yeah
I'm in the world
I'm in the world
I'm in the world
And being what it is
I've learnt to look
To look beyond the tears
I'm in the world
Though hearts don't break even
I'll take my chances
'Cause it ain't about leaving
I'm here
I'm here and I won't apologize
Maybe at the end there'll be a surprise
Oh, yeah
'Cause I'm in the world
Good or bad
I'm in the world
Yes, I'm here
I'm in the world
I'm here, I'm here
I'm in the world
I'm in the world
I'm here
I'm in the world
Oh, yes, oh, yes
I'm in the world
Good or bad
I'm here in the world
