Freedom



Felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders
Pressure to break or retreat at every turn;
Facing the fear that the truth I discovered;
No telling how all this will work out;
But I've come too far to go back now.

I am looking for freedom, 
And to find it, cost me everything I have.

I know all too well it don’t come easy;
The chains of the world they seem to move in tight;
I try to walk around it, 
But stumbling’s so familiar;
Try to get up but the doubt is so strong;
There’s gotta be a wind in my bones.

Not giving up has always been hard, 
So hard.
But if I do the things the easy way, I won’t get far.

Who Is He, and What Is He To You?



A man we passed just tried to stare me down 
And when I looked at you 
You looked at the ground 

I don't know who he is 
But I think that you do 

Something in my heart and in your eye 
Tells me he's not someone just passing by 

And when you cleared your throat 
Was that your cue? 

When I add the sum of you and me 
I get confused when I keep coming up with 3 
You're too much for one man 
But not enough for two 

You tell me men don't have much intuition 
Is that what you really thinkin girl 
Or are you wishing? 
Before you wreck your old home 
And searcht another new 


Who is he, and what is he to you?

Mandolay



There’s a spanish disco in a town not far from france
Known throughout the continent where people love to dance
There’s a dark-skinned lady there
Whose legs have brought her fame
She dances in the center ring, and the people call her name
Mandolay, say hey
Say mandolay
Say hey
Say mandolay
All the men they know her
Or at least they think they do
She knows she can have them all
She thinks all men are fools
So she winks and smiles at them and brings them to their knees
Leaves them with their fantasies, but the people never see
Mandolay, say hey
Say mandolay
Say hey
Say mandolay
She can make men happy
But she’ll never let them know
Mandolay, she’s much too cool to let her feelings show
So she’ll tease them with her moves,
Confuse them with her mind
Make love to everyone of them,
But only with her eyes

Strange Fruit



Artist: Diana Ross

Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swingin' in the Southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees

Pastoral scene of the gallant South
The bulgin' eyes and twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh
And the sudden smell of burnin' flesh

Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop

Standing On The Edge Of Love



Artist: BB King

Late last night I was dreaming
I was dreaming of your charms
I was standing
On the edge of love, darling
With you in my arms

Well you whispered sweet things
And told me
That you loved me and always be true
And you'd stand
On the edge of love with me
If I'd stand with you

I'm standing on the edge of love
Just about to slip and fall
Standing on the edge of love, darling
Waiting on your call
You know I'm standing on the edge of love
Just about to lose my mind
Standing on the edge of love, darling
Waiting on you one more time

Now a young man's mind will wander
Wander to distant shores
If you'll just come here
And stand with me
I won't wander no more

I promise to stop all of my gambling
Even stop staying out late all night
Might even settle down and have babies
Treat ourselves right

'Cause a young man's dreams are many
Lord, so few come true
So if you'll just come here
And stand with me
I'll stand with you

That's why I say you know
I'm standing on the edge of love
Just about to slip and fall
Standing on the edge of love, darling
Waiting on your call, that's why I say
You know, I'm standing on the edge of love
Just about to lose my mind
Standing on the edge of love, darling
Waiting on you one more time

That's why I'm standing, standing
Standing, yes, I'm standing
Standing on the edge of love
Waiting on you one more time

That's why I'm standing, standing
Standing, yes, I'm standing
Standing on the edge of love
Waiting on you one more time

That's why I'm standing, standing
Standing, yes, I'm standing
Standing on the edge of love
One more time

You're Listening To The Worlds



Artist: Belleruche

I shy from the loudest voice
The serpent I avoid
Choose to fight a battle rare

It doesn't mean that I am bad
It doesn't mean that I am scared
It's just not worth the breath

I speak my mind when I'm at home
Censor when I'm not alone
Choose who I am open to

It doesn't mean that I am closed
It doesn't mean I've given up on hope
It's just not worth the breath

I hear when I must defend
When you've got naught to prove
I'll wait and listen to your view

It doesn't mean we must agree
It doesn't mean that you know me
It's just where it begins

We live in a time of change
Breathe in what remains
Left from worlds before

It doesn't mean we should destroy
Carry on mistakes ignored
It's just all too short

I cry when I can't express
This feeling of torment
When I can't get through to you

I do because I care
I do out of despair
Wish you could understand

I'm low when I get it wrong
When dreams have been shot down
When I reveal things I don't want to see

It doesn't mean I'm in denial
It doesn't mean I want to hide

But there's too much to bare

What You Won't Do For Love



Artist: Bobby Caldwell

I guess you wonder where I've been 
I searched to find the love within 
I came back to ley you know 
Got a thing for you 
And I can't let go 

My friends wonder what is wrong with me 
Well I'm in a daze from your love you see 
I came back to let you know 
Got a thing for you 
And I can't let go 

Some people go around the world for love 
And they may never find what they dream of 

What you won't do, do for love 
You tried everything 
But you don't give up 
In my world only you 
Make me do for love 
What I would not do 

My friends wonder what is wrong with me 
Well I'm in a daze from your love you see 
I came back to let you know 
Got a thing for you 
And I can't let go 

And though I only want the best it's true 
I can't believe the things I do for you 

What you won't do, do for love 
You've tried everything 
But you won't give up 
In my world only you 
Make me do for love 
What I would not do
