The Yoruba Ethnic Group (Tribe) Of West Africa

Duration: 19:53
Updated: 27 Nov 2014

The documented history of the Yoruba people begins with the Oyo Empire, which became dominant in the early 17th century.The peoples who lived in Yorubaland, at least by the seventh century BC, were not initially known as the Yoruba, although they shared a common ethnicity and language group. The historical Yoruba develop in situ, out of earlier (Mesolithic) Volta-Niger populations, by the 1st millennium B.C.E. Oral history recorded under the Oyo Empire derives the Yoruba as an ethnic group from the population of the older kingdom of Ile-Ife. Archaeologically, the settlement at Ife can be dated to the 4th century BC, with urban structures appearing in the 12th century (the urban phase of Ife before the rise of Oyo, ca. 1100-1600, is sometimes described as a "golden age" of Ife).

All About - Oyo Empire

Updated: 06 Dec 2014

What is Oyo Empire? A report all about Oyo Empire for homework/assignment The Oyo Empire was a Yoruba empire of what is today western and northern Nigeria. Established in the 14th century, the Oyo Empire grew to become one of the largest West African states. It rose through the outstanding organizational skills of the Yoruba, wealth gained from trade and its powerful cavalry. The Oyo Empire was the most politically important state in the region from the mid-17th to the late 18th century, holding sway not only over most of the other kingdoms in Yorubaland, but also over nearby African states, notably the Fon Kingdom of Dahomey in the modern Republic of Benin to the west.

ODUDUWA...THE ANCESTOR OF THE YORUBAS-festour

Duration: 4:40
Updated: 04 Mar 2013

Oduduwa, Olofin Adimula, Emperor and Founding Father of the Yoruba people, phonetically written by his people as Odùduwà and sometimes contracted as Odudua or Oòdua, is generally held among the Yoruba to be the ancestor of the crowned Yoruba kings.Oral history of the Oyo-Yoruba recounts the coming of the Oba Oduduwa from the east, sometimes understood by some sources as the "vicinity" of Mecca, but more likely signifying the region of Ekiti and Okun sub-communities in northeastern Yorubaland/central Nigeria. Ekiti is near the confluence of the Niger and Benue rivers, and is where the Yoruba language is presumed to have separated from related ethno-linguistic groupings like Igala, Igbo, and Edo.[3] When Oduduwa arrived ancient Ife, he and his group are believed to have conquered the component communities and to have evolved the palace structure with its effective centralized power and dynasty. Going by the tribal records, he is commonly referred to as the first Ooni of Ife and progenitor of the Yoruba people.

Theo Lawson: The Whole Colonization Process

Duration: 2:48
Updated: 12 Feb 2014

Theo Lawson: The Whole Colonization Process, Was a Process Of Brain Wash. Influence of the British Empire on the territories which now form Nigeria began with prohibition of slave trade to British subjects in 1807. The resulting collapse of African slave trade led to the decline and eventual collapse of the Oyo Empire. British influence in the Niger area increased gradually over the 19th century, but Britain did not effectively occupy the area until 1885, and then under pressure of competition from France and Germany. The colonial period proper in Nigeria lasted from 1900 to 1960. In 1900, the Niger Coast Protectorate and some territories of the Royal Niger Company were united to form the Southern Nigeria Protectorate, while other Royal Niger Company territories became the Northern Nigeria Protectorate. In 1914, the Northern and Southern Nigeria Protectorates were unified into the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria while maintaining considerable regional autonomy among the three major regions. Progressive constitutions after World War II provided for increasing representation and electoral government by Nigerians. In October 1, 1960, Nigeria gained independence.

Top 10 Largest Cities or Towns of Benin

Ouidah Music : Path to Follow,Jingle Punks; YouTube Audio Library Benin, officially the Republic of Benin (French: République du Bénin), is a country in West Africa. It is bordered by Togo to the west, by Nigeria to the east and by Burkina Faso and Niger to the north. A majority of the population live on its small southern coastline on the Bight of Benin, part of the Gulf of Guinea in the northernmost tropical portion of the Atlantic Ocean. The capital of Benin is Porto-Novo, but the seat of government is in Cotonou, the country's largest city and economic capital. Benin covers an area of approximately 115,000 square kilometers (42,000 sq mi), with a population of approximately 9.98 million. Benin is a tropical, sub-Saharan nation, highly dependent on agriculture, with substantial employment and income arising from subsistence farming. The official language of Benin is French. However, indigenous languages such as Fon and Yoruba are commonly spoken. The largest religious group in Benin is Roman Catholicism, followed closely by Islam, Vodun and Protestantism. Benin is a member of the United Nations, the African Union, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, South Atlantic Peace and Cooperation Zone, La Francophonie, the Community of Sahel-Saharan States, the African Petroleum Producers Association and the Niger Basin Authority. From the 17th to the 19th century, the main political entities in the area were the Kingdom of Dahomey along with the city-state of Porto-Novo and a large area with many different tribes to the north. This region was referred to as the Slave Coast from as early as the 17th century due to the large number of slaves shipped to the New World during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. After slavery was abolished, France took over the country and renamed it French Dahomey. In 1960, Dahomey gained full independence from France, and had a tumultuous period with many different democratic governments, many military coups and military governments. A Marxist-Leninist state called the People's Republic of Benin existed between 1972 and 1990. In 1991, it was replaced by the current multi-party Republic of Benin. The capital's name Porto-Novo is of Portuguese origin meaning "New Port." It was originally developed as a port for the slave trade. The current country of Benin combines three areas which had different political and ethnic systems prior to French colonial control. Before 1700, there were a few important city states along the coast (primarily of the Aja ethnic group, but also including Yoruba and Gbe peoples) and a mass of tribal regions inland (composed of Bariba, Mahi, Gedevi, and Kabye peoples). The Oyo Empire, located primarily to the east of modern Benin, was the most significant large-scale military force in the region and it would regularly conduct raids and exact tribute from the coastal kingdoms and the tribal regions. The situation changed in the 1600s and early 1700s as the Kingdom of Dahomey, which was of the Fon ethnicity, was founded on the Abomey plateau and began taking over areas along the coast. By 1727, king Agaja of the Kingdom of Dahomey had conquered the coastal cities of Allada and Whydah, but it had become a tributary of the Oyo empire and did not directly attack the Oyo allied city-state of Porto-Novo. The rise of the kingdom of Dahomey, the rivalry between the kingdom and the city of Porto-Novo, and the continued tribal politics of the northern region. This ethnic and political division persisted into the colonial and post-colonial periods. The Dahomey Kingdom was known for its culture and traditions. Young boys were often apprenticed to older soldiers, and taught the kingdom's military customs until they were old enough to join the army. Dahomey was also famous for instituting an elite female soldier corps, called Ahosi i.e. the king's wives or Mino, "our mothers" in the Fon language Fongbe, and known by many Europeans as the Dahomean Amazons. This emphasis on military preparation and achievement earned Dahomey the nickname of "black Sparta" from European observers and 19th century explorers like Sir Richard Burton.

Bisi Adegbuyi on Consensus Controversy @ National Confab

Duration: 3:50
Updated: 31 Mar 2014

Dr. Beko Kuti has this to say---Long before 1914 when Nigeria was amalgamated, the present space was not a void. People, empires and modes of production existed. The far North was ruled by Hausa Habes which was the home of many tribes, Hausa Magajiya, Abyssinian or of coptic stock. From 900 to 1500 AD. The Hausaland was besieged by political forces from Bornu, the Berbes, Tuyaregs and Arabs. The most formidable was the 1804 Jihad which swept the Habeland, imposed an oligarchy, seized the people and the land until the advent of British rule. The Yorubaland had the Oyo empire which triumphed until about 200 years ago, we also have the Bachama, Birom, Angas, Tiv, Kaje, Nupe, Ijaw, Igbo and numerous others. The merging of the Southern and Northern protectorates in 1914 was accidental so also was the name, Nigeria given to its people. It is important to say that British rule was not forged on negotiations with Nigerians, but negotiations with ethnic nationalities. So also there was no "Nigerian position," but ethnic nationality positions. The 1960 independence, to our knowledge, was preceded by a curious finding conducted by Henry Willink supported by Gordon Hardow, Philip Mason, and JB Shearer which compiled a report on July 30 1958 now known as the Willink Commission of Enquiry. I advise the senators to read carefully the various positions of nationalities visited by the British agents in compiling their reports. It is of note that every nationality in the space called Nigeria had a position and there was not and will never be a 'Nigerian position' except that imposed by the few people in power (www.nigerdeltacongress.com).

Updated: 31 Jul 2013

SANGO ,by birth, he was named Tella among other names as Ayi Legbe Orun, somebody greets the mother inside the belly; Arabambi, everybody stayed together to support the birth; Afonja contracted word from Afa ko ja meaning not easy to separate, the baby was covered with red cloth in order to cut the umbilical cord; Sango, a being with supernatural strength. He married to five women, Osun, who turned in to water in Osogbo; Oya, who turned to Igala in Ile ra; Oba, who disappeared in Odo Oba, Awa and Gambiolu. Sango was a strong warrior becoming a symbol of power and truth, serving as the supreme judge in the Oyo Empire and being the final court. His OSE, representing two axes, was a symbol of justice. Being the king of Justice and not understood by his people, he decided to hang himself in a tree called Igba, but his friend Aladekun discouraged him to proceed. By this decision he became OBA KOSO, which means the king NO hang on the tree. He disappeared in to the earth leaving behind his crown and one Edun Ara (Oni epon lara) taken from his body, which was given to Aladekun to invite him anytime the town was in need. Aladekun became the support of Oyo anytime the town was in need, being called Oni le ogba, which originated the contracted word Mogba. Nowadays , Mogba is still in Koso in Oyo town with the power left from Sango as known as OLUOBAKOSO. Mogba Koso till today is the High Chief, who crowns all the Alaafins and the custodian of the Alaafin's crown. All Alaafin's are called "omo ekun" the son of a tiger, which name derived from Sango. "Sango was discovered dead as a child and when the corpse was thrown into the bush the tiger nursed him as one of his cubs." This was an origin of calling all Alaafins" omo ekun" the son of a tiger.

And I'm an individual meaning I cannot be divided therefore I'm not half anything I am what my father is pursuant to the Bible genius lol" DAHOMEY Dahomey was an African kingdom (in the present-day country of Benin) which lasted from about 1600 until 1900. Dahomey developed on the Abomey Plateau amongst the FON PEOPLE in the early 1600s and became a regional power in the 1700s by conquering key cities on the Atlantic coast. For much of the 18th and 19th centuries, the Kingdom of Dahomey was a key regional state, eventually ending tributary status to the Oyo Empire and being a MAJOR LOCATION FOR THE ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE, POSSIBLY SUPPLYING UP TO 20% OF THE SLAVE TO EUROPE AND THE AMERICAS. FONS IN THE SLAVE TRADE The kings of Dahomey SOLD THEIR WAR CAPTIVES INTO TRANSATLANTIC SLAVERY, captives who would otherwise have been killed in a ceremony known as the Annual Customs. The empire traded with Europeans from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, reaching its great economic boom to the late eighteenth century BECAUSE OF THE SLAVE TRADE. In the eighteenth century, the Empire invaded Arda and Whydah, export ports of MANY SLAVES. Thus, export ports were Arda, Whydah and Porto Novo (current Benin), and Badagry and Lagos (Nigeria) (Lachataure, 1961: 5). In the Juan Liscano historian´s opinion, before of 1700 the Fon of Whydah, Dahomey, SOLD TO EUROPEAN TRADERS MEMBERS OF THE FOLLOWING TRIBES (Liscano, 1950: 74 s): Wida, Popo, Adja (residents in southeastern Togo and Benin southeast), Ketou (perhaps the city of the same name in Benin), Ewe and Mahi (residents in Abomey, the old capital of Dahomey Empire). Since 1700, THEY SOLD TO EUROPEAN TRADERS MANY YORUBAS.

The breath of life that you breathed into me
Is a hunger craved for eternity?
I am bound to you, I am bound to you
You heal me, you feel me
Like a stranger yet someone
I once knew I found myself in you
You shield me reveal me
You're the other half of me
It's true I found myself in you
You show me laughter you show me life
It's heaven on earth here with you tonight
No longer lost now I believe we found
Our sacred, sacred ground
You heal me you feel me
Like a stranger yet someone
I once knew I found myself in you
You shield me reveal me
You're the other half of me

Top Amber, The Smile Of My Child

(La...)
"Your hair shines like gold" says my child
"You are pretty old" says my child
And I think to myself how I used to be
There's another wrinkle that I see
Then he takes my hand and smiles at me
Chorus:
The smile of my child makes me realize that I'm alive
The smile of my child makes my life worth living
The smile of my child is a reflection of my life
And an endless source of love, an endless source of love and giving
"You are so nice" says my child
"You are so wise" says my child
And I think to myself how it's going to be
I see so much bad news on TV
Then he takes my hand and smiles at me
Chorus
You are so beautiful when you dance and smile
And even though you are so small
I want to be everything for you
My beautiful child

Top Amber, 311

Brainstorm, take me away from the norm
I've got to tell you something, this phenomenon
I had to put it in a song and it goes like
Woah, amber is the color of your energy
Woah, shades of gold displayed naturally
You ought to know what brings me here
You glide through my head blind to fear and I know why
Woah, amber is the color of your energy
Woah, shades of gold displayed naturally
Woah, amber is the color of your energy
Woah, ahades of gold displayed naturally
You live too far away, your voice rings like a bell anyway
Don't give up your independence unless it feels so right
Nothing good comes easily, sometimes you've got to fight
Woah, amber is the color of your energy
Woah, shades of gold displayed naturally
Launched a thousand ships in my heart, so easy
Still, it's fine from afar, and you know that
Woah, brainstorm, take me away from the norm

Top Amber, Anyway (Men Are From Mars)

Do do do do do...
You love black and I like red
You like dogs and I like cats
I like to talk, you'd rather watch TV
You like to control, I accept what I see
You're so cool, I am emotional
You wanna a wife, I need a match for my soul
Just stay away from the mood I reach for the stores
I am from Venus and you're from Mars
chorus:
I don't know what you mean, what you do or say
I love you anyway
Love you anyway
I don't know what you feel, should I go or stay
I love you anyway
Love you anyway
Do do do do do...
You're so jealous, no I am not
I think relationships are built on trust
You live for action, I guide for romance
We're so different why give it a chance
You want to be you but I can't be myself
I feel in prison while you feel unsafe
You read your head, I listen to my heart
Chorus
We're together you still feel alone
If one is there the other one is gone
If thought and you would meet for a day
Nothing can change anyway
chorus
I don't know what you mean, what you do or say
I love you anyway
Only in my way
Not in your way
Oh not in your way

Right on time somebody passed my way

So that everything was clear

Something beautiful, inescapable has happened to me

Top Amber, If I'm Not The One

I listen to the words you say slowly striking me as lightning
Whatever seemed to be so safe fell down like a house of cards
Tell me that I'm dreaming why did you talk about love
When you've never really loved me, I lose it from desperation
This feeling, so frightening that you and me will never be
If I'm not the one don't expect my heart to understand
If I'm not the one the diamond sky is dark again
My sense is gone and done if I'm not the one
The frigidity drives me crazy I am almost going insane
Your words keep running through my head
What more can I do than cry? Life will never be the same
If I'm not the one don't expect my heart to understand
If I'm not the one the diamond sky is dark again
My sense is gone and done if I'm not the one
Can't we get back again?
I can't let love slip through my hands oh, no
Can't we get back again?
If I'm not the one don't expect my heart to understand
If I'm not the one the diamond sky is dark again
My sense is gone and done if I'm not the one
If I'm not the one don't expect my heart to understand
If I'm not the one the diamond sky is dark again
My sense is gone and done if I'm not the one
If I'm not the one don't expect my heart to understand
If I'm not the one the diamond sky is dark again
My sense is gone and done if I'm not the one

Top Amber, Love One Another

Everybody needs a little tenderness
Everybody needs a release
From the cell they lock themselves in
Love's the only peace
Everybody needs, everybody cries
Everybody bleeds, everybody dies
Everybody dreams, everybody wakes
Everybody makes mistakes
Love one another
Sisters and brothers
Love one another
Love one another
Father and mother
Love one another
It's easier to walk away
When you've got a wounded pride
But when two people stand together
That's how they heal inside
Try to understand, open up your heart
A fist is just a hand, it can come apart
Let go of the past, let go of the fight
Forgiving fills the world with light
Love one another
Sisters and brothers
Love one another
Love one another
Father and mother
Love one another
Love one another
We were given a world so beautiful
A deep ocean, a blue, blue sky
I know we can make it a better place
If only you and I
Love one another
Sisters and brothers
Love one another
Love one another
Father and mother
Love one another
Love one another
Sisters and brothers
Love one another
Love one another
Father and mother
Love one another

Top Amber, Dirty Thoughts

The thought of you
The thought of me
The thought of her
Such insanity
The thought of fears
The thought of pain
The thought of tears
Like cold and endless jagged rain
Dirty thoughts
Like a train that I'm on
And I can't, can't get off
No, I can't get off
Here I am on a raft
On a black waterfall
Of dirty thoughts
I think alone
I think of trust
Of an unknown zone
The feeling of unjust
I think of dark
And blind emotion
Of dying sparks
And drowning in a sea of oceans
Dirty thoughts
Like a train that I'm on
And I can't, can't get off
No, I can't get off
Here I am on a raft
On a black waterfall
Of dirty thoughts
Dirty, dirty thoughts
I wish I wasn't so insecure
Wish my mind was clean and pure
And free of
And free of
Dirty thoughts
Like a train that I'm on
And I can't, can't get off
No, I can't get off
Here I am on a raft
On a black waterfall
Dirty thoughts
Like a train that I'm on
And I can't, can't get off
No, I can't get off
Here I am on a raft
On a black waterfall
Of dirty, dirty thoughts
Dirty, dirty, dirty thoughts
Like a train that I'm on
And I can't, can't get off

Acceptance means no choice
Without you, I have lost myself
Without you, I am lost for good
Without you, I am crying, baby
Without you, I would change it if I could
Without you, without you
Without you, without you
Fear fills the emptiness
That I have inside of me
Time is not standing still
Only you can set me free
Every day I see your face
Whatever I do, you're here
I can't take it anymore
'Cause you still live in me
Without you, I have lost myself
Without you, I am lost for good
Without you, I am crying, baby
Without you, I would change it if I could
Every day I wonder where you are
(Where you are)
Where could you be baby?

Top Amber, I Miss You

i remember the day i was born
you were there straight from work
i remember how you looked at me
and i remember all that we could be
i-e-i, i-e-i, i miss you
i-e-i, i-e-i, i miss you

Top Amber, Crucified Solitude

When I open my heart and felt around me
Everything has changed
I stumbled and fell
Touched heaven and hell
And I felt so estranged
What and when and how
Does my head allow
Suddenly something new
I just can't find myself
And the reason for that is you
Your divine
Divine within your soul
So divine it's the love I can't control
You're inside the dream I tried to hide
The answers to my whens and whys
Solitude was crucified
Crucified
Directed by me
Without any words
It completely changed
And without any thoughts
I switched all those parts
I feel so insane
Why is this so different?
Why do I feel bare?
Why do I change my views?
I just can't see myself
And the reason for that is you
Your divine
Divine within your soul
So divine it's the love I can't control
You're inside the dream I tried to hide
The answers to my whens and whys
Solitude was crucified
Crucified
Your divine
Divine within your soul
So divine it's the love I can't control
You're inside the dream I tried to hide
The answers to my whens and whys
Solitude was crucified
Your inside
I stand before my choice
To jump off or stay
Have to kick all my fears
I'm closing my past now
I'm not afriad of what I see
Your divine
Divine within your soul
So divine it's the love I can't control
You're inside the dream I tried to hide
The answers to my whens and whys
Solitude was crucified
Your divine
All the pain I had to bare
Was crucified
Since the day I fell for you
You're inside the dream I tried to hide
The answers to my whens and whys
Solitude was crucified

Top Amber, Extra Ordinary

Sitting in my room
Looking for a broom
Looking for a place to hide
I have no one by my side_______.
Footsteps, footsteps...
The room goes dark
Yet i can still see
Kick, punch, kick
One man down
Still got three
Listening, listening
Nobody dares
I'm extra ordinary!
Creeping down the hall
Trying hard to stall (no need)
Seeing all their shadows
Trying to hide my own (indeed)
Footsteps, footsteps
The rom goes dark
Yet i can still see
Kick, punch, kick
One man down
Still got three
Listening, listening
Nobody dares
I'm extra ordinary!
Sitting in my room
Looking for a broom

Top Amber, Sex And The City

You wake up in the morning
Thinking it is just another day
You're answering your phone girl
It turns out that your David is gay
Meeting up with your girls for the lunch
Talking about men in general
The one to get finally married
Got cheated on after all
This is sex and the city
Welcome to the craziest place
This is sex and the city
The ultimate sexual of me
This is sex and the city
Da da da da hey..
Gets to work there's another party
Trying to get over your ex
Borrow a car, borrow us a car
Tell us lady
You'll find yourself having sex
(Did you see what she was doing, girl no she didn't)
This is sex and the city
Welcome to the craziest place
This is sex and the city
The ultimate sexual of me
This is sex and the city

Top Amber, If There Is No Tomorrow

If there would be no tomorrow
What would you do if there would be no tomorrow
Imagine the future would just be your world
The sun falls asleep with the moon
Would you think differently for the moment
Any idea what you do
People if there would be no tomorrow
Would you be frightened of today
If there would be only one day left to exist
What would you do if there would be no tomorrow
There would be no tongue to respect the feel
Cause you have no other choice
Experience your dreams
To feel what they mean
Finally have a voice
People if there would be no tomorrow
Would you be frightened of today
If there would be only one day left to exist
What would you do if there would be no tomorrow
Tomorrow

Top Amber, Heavenly Proximity

Tomorrow I will pain the skies
Only in the colour of your eyes
On account of you, my love
It's feeling like a mystery
Always stars are falling over me
The sun explores my heart, the moon is dazzling
This heavenly proximity, it's thanks to you
A miracle has come along, goes through a proof
When you ???
I feel so strong
This heavenly proximity, my spirit's rising
When I talk to you and hear your voice
It's like the breezes whispering my name
You're right out to the might, your love, your nature
All the things are telling me
This is no illusion any more

Top Amber, Object Of Your Desire

I wanna be, I wanna be
Let me be, let me be
I wanna be, I wanna be
Let me be, let me be
You stand there to look at me
Showered by the rain
Entice me with your juicy lips
Impatiently insane
The burning of your craving look
And the voice of my heart
Freed the eternal sense of shame
That kept us apart
(Baby)
I wanna be, I wanna be
The object of your desire
Let me be, let me be
The water that quenches your fire
I wanna be, I wanna be
The object of your desire
Let me be, let me be
The woman that takes you higher
Seduce me with your brown eyes
Expecting me to come
I'm yearning for your hands to touch
Like a rose adores the sun
(The sun)
The burning of your craving look
And the voice of my heart
Freed the eternal sense of shame
That kept us apart
(Baby)
I wanna be, I wanna be
The object of your desire
Let me be, let me be
The water that quenches your fire
I wanna be, I wanna be
The object of your desire
Let me be, let me be
The woman who takes you higher
(The sun)
I wanna be, I wanna be
Let me be, let me be
(Baby)
I wanna be, I wanna be
the object of your desire
Let me be, let me be
I wanna be, I wanna be
The object of your desire
Let me be, let me be
The woman that takes you higher
I wanna be, I wanna be

Top Amber, Above The Clouds

Love lifts us up 2x
Remember the pain we put eachother through
Remember the tears you cried, I cried too
Remember how close we came, to giving up
Remember the heartaches that were destroyed
Remember the arguments, we employed
Remember the lines we drew, and the lines we crossed
If we had known it would be so hard,
would we have set out on this road together
Now when I look into your eyes I can see forever...
Chorus
We're flying above the clouds, so beautiful & clear
We're flying above the clouds, I can see happiness from here
Love lifts us up 2x
Remember the silence living in the dark
Remember the desperation in my heart
Remember how close we came, to giving up
We were caught up in our storm, I didn't think that we would make it
We have only stood our grounds, now the storm is breaking
Chorus
Sweet love, to a higher ground
Love lifts us up 2x
If we had known it would be so hard,
would we have set out on this road together
Now when I look into your eyes, I can see forever
Chorus 2x
We're flying so beautiful love lifts us up
There is so much happiness don't ever stop

Top Amber, How Can I Tell You

How can I tell you?
I think of how you feel and I think about your smile
I think of all the love you gave to me and how it passed me by
I?m very scared to let you know that it?s not as it used to be
And now I have to let you go you?re no longer with me
How can I tell you it?s over that the birds do not fly?
How can I tell you the truth that there?s no sun in the sky?
How can I tell you that the earth is not round?
How can I tell you? How should I sound?
How can I tell you that it?s the only truth I?ve found?
I think of all your trust and how you lived for me
I think of all the thoughts your thinking what you expect from me
I know that you will fall apart but I stick to the truth
I really have to follow my heart the voice within me
I avoid your eyes when they look at me
But I have to face truth and reality
I avoid your eyes when they look at me

Top Amber, Don't Wanna Stop

Slipping into a dream
I can't believe that you're right here melting in the rain
(Sparkling colors all over the sky when you're holding me)
Feel your sweet intensity I feel intoxicated
Don't wanna stop until I'm flying
Don't wanna wait until I reach the sky
Don't wanna stop until I'm flying
'Cause you know how to work me
I'm ready to go oh, oh
Come and lay me down
Sweep my feet off the ground enfold me in your arms
(Cover my body with kisses of velvet and reach for me)

Top Amber, Whatever

You’re were in the dark
You’re were in the pain
You were on your own
Living hell
Living your ghost
Living your end
Never seem to get any place
That I belong
Don’t want to lose the time
Lose the time to come
Whatever you say it’s all right
Whatever you do it’s all good
Whatever you say it’s all right
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
Heaven is on the way
Heaven is on the way
You were in the sea
On decline
Breaking the waves
Watching the lights go down
Letting cables sleep
Whatever you say it’s all right
Whatever you do it’s all good
Whatever you say it’s all right
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
Heaven is on the way
We’ll wrap the world around it
Heaven is on the way
Heaven is on the way
Whatever you say it’s all right
Whatever you do it’s all good
Whatever you say it’s all right
Whatever you say it’s all right
Whatever you do it’s all good

Top Amber, Yes.

Ohhh yeah
yeah
Saw him once in the hills
Water in the canyon
walked by the sun
I brushed up against him
Wildflowers on fire
And then I asked him with my eyes
To ask again (yes)
And then he asked me would I?
Yes, Yes
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he can feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I mean yes, I said yes, I mean yes...
The moon rose in the sky
As we lay together
One second goes by
Then becomes forever
Come to you by desire
And then I asked him with my eyes
To ask again (yes)
And then he asked me would I?
Yes, Yes
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he can feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I mean yes, I said yes
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he can feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I mean yes, I said yes, I will yes
Ohhh yes
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he could feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he can feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad
I mean yes, I said yes
I put my arms around him, yes
And draw him down to me so he can feel my breast
And his heart was going like mad

Top Amber, Taste The Tears

How could you cause me so much pain?
And leave my Heart out in the rain
After I gave you everything oh oh
Why did you have to tell me lies?
And put these tears here in my eyes
And push my world with your good-bye oh oh
You think that you're immune
But someday Baby someday soon
You're gonna taste the tears
Tears I cried right over you
You're going to taste
You're going to taste
You're going to taste
You're going to taste the tears
Taste the tears
What did I ever do to you?
To make you treat my Heart so cruel
To make you make me such a fool oh oh
One day you'll notice what it's like
Someday someone will say good-bye
One day you'll be the one to cry oh oh
And when the things you do all turn around, around on you
You're gonna taste the tears
Tears I cried right over you
You're going to taste
You're going to taste
You're going to taste
You're going to taste the tears
You're gonna know the pain
Same thing that you put me through
You're going to taste
You're going to taste
You're going to taste
You're going to taste the tears
Taste the tears
Come taste the tears
Come taste the tears

Top Amber, Same Old Paradise

It's the way you touch me
It's the way you make me laugh
It's the way you smile
The way you photograph
It's the way that you kiss
The way you give back
The way you love me like this
Look at the beauty of that
These are the tangled words
Of our love that we both do untie
Same old ways
Same old spice
Same old paradise
This is the faerie tale
Of our love as a guiding light
Same old ways
Same old spice
Same old paradise
It's the way you look at me
The way way you call my name
The memories of us
A constant burning flame
It's the way that we grow
The way you understand
The that you think
Our footsteps in the sand
These are the tangled words
Of our love that we both do untie
Same old ways
Same old spice
Same old paradise
This is the faerie tale
Of our love as a guiding light
Same old ways
Same old spice
Same old paradise
