You see, I can be myself now finally, in fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you be with me Hey soul sister |
Entraste en mi vida y me hiciste feliz
Pusiste color y rumbo a mi existir Entraste en mis sueños sin dejarme dormir Y no se que haria si no estoy cerca de ti Cuando me susurras que me amas al oido, toda mi piel se eriza, me ruborizo como un niño No hay palabras que describan tanto amor que siento en mi corazon y es por tu amor |
You can spend your whole life buildin'
Something from nothin' One storm can come and blow it all away Build it anyway You can chase a dream That seems so out of reach And you know it might not ever come your way Dream it anyway God is great But sometimes life ain't good And when I pray It doesn't always turn out like I think it should But I do it anyway I do it anyway This world's gone crazy It's hard to believe That tomorrow will be better than today Believe it anyway You can love someone with all your heart For all the right reasons In a moment they can choose to walk away Love 'em anyway God is great But sometimes life ain't good And when I pray It doesn't always turn out like I think it should But I do it anyway Yeah - I do it anyway You can pour your soul out singing A song you believe in That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang Sing it anyway Yea, sing it anyway Yeah, yeah! I sing I dream I love anyway |

I met her at the mission, Living just this side of sin. Her mouth was soft and when she spoke, Lord, I fell right in. She had a baby in a blanket, A dollar and a half. She looked a little leery, She let out a little laugh. Opened up my overcoat, Invited them inside. Two fragile little flowers, With nowhere left to hide. She said her old man left her, Just before the baby came. I could feel the tears well up inside, Each time she spoke his name. Swing low, swing low, Sweet angel face. Why would such a simple child, Come to such a place? We talked until the wind died down, The baby woke and stirred. She made a little hushing sound, Spoke some magic word. The baby yawned and smiled at me, But she said: "We can't stay." She thanked me for my kindness, Turned and walked away. Swing low, swing low, Sweet angel face. Why would such a simple child, Come to such a place? I think about them all the time, And hope they found their home. Seems that it's my calling now, To walk these streets alone. Sometimes when the wind is right, I can smell her sweet perfume. I think about the warm embrace, That ended all too soon. Swing low, swing low, Sweet angel face. Why would such a simple child, Come to such a place? Oh, oh, oh, why would such a simple child, Come to such a place? |
Limb by limb, tooth by tooth
Tearing up inside of me Every day, every hour I wish that I was bulletproof Wax me, mould me Heat the pins and stab them in You have turned me into this Just wish that it was bulletproof, was bulletproof So pay the money and take a shot Lead-fill the hole in me I could burst a million bubbles All surrogate and bulletproof... |
God give you grace to purge this place
And peace all around will be your fortune Oh Oh children of the land, Love is still the answer take my hand The vision fades, the voice I hear Don't listen to the mad man But still I fear and still I dare not Laugh at the mad man |
Chaka Khan
Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was Happened so naturally I did not know it was love The next thing I felt was You holding me close What was I gonna do? I let myself go And now we're flyin' through the star I hope this night will last forever I've been waitin' for you It's been so long I knew just what I would do When I heard your song Filled my heart with your bliss Gave me freedom You knew I could not resist I needed someone And now we're flyin' through the stars I hope this night will last forever Oh oh oh oh Ain't nobody Loves me better Makes me happy Makes me feel this way Ain't nobody Loves me better than you I wait for night time to come And bring you to me Can't believe I'm the one I was so lonely I feel like no one could feel I must be dreamin' I want this dream to be real I need this feelin' I make my wish upon a star And hope this night will last forever Ain't nobody Loves me better Makes me happy Makes me feel this way Ain't nobody Loves me better than you And first you put your arms around me Then you put your charms around me I can't resist this sweet surrender All my nights are warm and tender We stare into each other's eyes And what we see is no surprise Got a feeling most would treasure And a love so deep we cannot measure |
From my friend Lacie, who's all over these lyrics:
Come here, rude boy, boy; can you get it up? Come here rude boy, boy; is you big enough? Take it, take it baby, baby Take it, take it; love me, love me Tonight I'ma let you be the captain Tonight I'ma let you do your thing, yeah Tonight I'ma let you be a rider Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up babe Tonight I'ma let it be fire Tonight I'ma let you take me higher Tonight, baby, we could get it on, yeah, we could get it on, yeah |
. . . the smell of redwood giants
a banquet for the shadows. . . |
I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack Thursday, never looking back It's Friday, I'm in love Monday, you can hold your head Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed Or Thursday, watch the walls instead It's Friday, I'm in love |
I used to go out to parties and stand around
'Cause I was too nervous to really get down But my body yearned to be free I got up on the floor, boy so somebody could choose me. No more standin' there beside the walls I have got myself together, baby I'm havin' a ball Long as you're groovin' There's always a chance Somebody watchin' might wanna make romance Move your body, ooo baby, And dance all night Do that grooving’ Feel all right Everybody's groovin' on like a fool But if you see me spread out and let me in Baby just party high and low Let me step into your erotic zone Move it up Turn it down Shake it down OOWWWW |
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile And I knew that if I had my chance I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while Did you write the book of love And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so Now do you believe in Rock 'n' roll And can music save your mortal soul And can you teach me how to dance real slow Well, I know that you're in love with him 'Cos I saw you dancin' in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm and blues I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pick-up truck But I knew that I was out of luck The day the music died I started singing Bye, bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singing this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play Well now, in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken Tho church bells all were broken And the three men I admire the most The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died We started singin' Bye, bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singing this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Bye, bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singing this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die |
That was then this is now
Found my way back here somehow Knew you'd have to let me go Told you once I told you so Take me down You can hold me but you Can't hold what's within Pull me round Push me to the limit Maybe I may bend But I know where I'm not going I will not be broken I will not be broken I will not be... Someone other than who I am I will fight to make my stand Cause what is livin' if I can't live free What is freedom if I can't be me Take me down You can hold me but you Can't hold what's within Pull me round Push me to the limit Maybe I may bend But I know where I'm not going I will not be broken I will not be broken I will not be... I won't let you near it I will let my spirit fly Fly High Oh take me down Take me down You can hold me but you Can't hold what's within Pull me round Push me to the limit Maybe I may bend But I know where I'm not going I will not be broken I will not be broken I will not be... |
. . . we ride home in the night
while under our feet, the rain paints the street with the stars passing cars with light trails behind them we could follow them on. . . |
I was a little girl alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me.
I played pretend between the trees, and fed my house guests bark and leaves, and laughed in my pretty bed of green. I had a dream That I could fly from the highest swing. |
Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing I'm just standing in a doorway I'm just trying to make some sense Out of these girls go passing by The tales they tell of men I'm not waiting on a lady I'm just waiting on a friend A smile relieves a heart that grieves Remember what I said I'm not waiting on a lady I'm just waiting on a friend I'm just waiting on a friend Don't need a whore I don't need no booze Don't need a virgin priest But I need someone I can cry to I need someone to protect Making love and breaking hearts It is a game for youth But I'm not waiting on a lady I'm just waiting on a friend |
So, I am in the twilight of my youth
Not that I'm going to remember Have you seen the moon tonight, is it full? Still burning it's embers The people dancing in the corner They seem happy, but I am sad I am still dancing in the coma of the drinks I just had Does anybody wanna take me home? Does anybody wanna take me home? Take me to your house and I'll leave you alone Of course I will, of course I won't It seems so tragic, but it disappears like magic Like magic Like magic Can you recommend an education or drugs Because I'm bored with you already I'm on Broadway and I think it's a parade I'm covered in pieces of confetti And I am in the twilight of my youth Not that I'm going to remember Dancing and slowly and finding the truth And it covered in coma All these people in my life, they seem so in love Well, I am not Memorizing my shoes in a cigarette shop Does anybody wanna take me home? Does anybody wanna take me home? I'm kinda lonely, will you take me home? Of course you will, of course you won't Of course I'm crass, it seems so tragic Of course you will, of course you won't But I'll disappear, I'll disappear Just like magic Just like magic |
. . .we are floating through the day
those bitten by the wild will live on but those who used to bite have gone. . . |
Far between sundown's finish an' midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight An' for each an' ev'ry underdog soldier in the night An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. In the city's melted furnace, unexpectedly we watched With faces hidden as the walls were tightening As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowin' rain Dissolved into the bells of the lightning Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned an' forsaked Tolling for the outcast, burnin' constantly at stake An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breeze Leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder Striking for the gentle, striking for the kind Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind An' the poet an the painter far behind his rightful time An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. In the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales For the disrobed faceless forms of no position Tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts All down in taken-for granted situations Tolling for the deaf an' blind, tolling for the mute For the mistreated, mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute For the misdemeanor outlaw, chased an' cheated by pursuit An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. Even though a clouds's white curtain in a far-off corner flashed An' the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale An' for each unharmfull, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. Starry-eyed an' laughing as I recall when we were caught Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended As we listened one last time an' we watched with one last look Spellbound an' swallowed 'til the tolling ended Tolling for the aching whose wounds cannot be nursed For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an' worse An' for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. |
