Balm In Gilead

There is a balm in gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm in gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul

If you can preach like paul

He died to save us all

You Took My Teeth
You took my teeth
You took my brains
You try to drive me so insain
And now you're trying to take my eyes
But it is finished
Because I'm too wise
That is my Bob Marley died
That is my Bob Marley died
That is my Bob Marley died
You took is eyes
Boo boo boo boom
Boom

Images
(1964) nina simone, waring cuney
She does not know
Her beauty,
She thinks her brown body
Has no glory.
If she could dance
Naked,
Under palm trees
And see her image in the river
She would know.
But there are no palm trees
On the street,
And dishwater gives back no images.

Youd Be So Nice To Come Home To
Cole porter
Youd be so nice to come home to
Youd be so nice by the fire
While that breeze on night sings a lullaby
Youd be all my heart could desire
Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an august moon shining above
Youd be so nice youd be paradise
To come home to and love

This Years Kisses
This years kisses
This years crop of kisses
Dont seem as sweet to me
This years crop just misses
What kisses used to be
This years new romance
Doesnt seem to have a chance
Even helped by mr. moon above
This years crop of kisses is not for me
For Im still wearin last years love.

Compassion
Paul lawrence dunbar, nina simone
Because I have loved so deeply
Because I haved loved so long
God in his great compassion
Gave me the gift old song
Because I have loved so vainly
Sung with such faltering breath
Oh, oh, oh, the master in
His infinite mercy
Offers the boon of death

For Myself
For myself
I must learn for myself
Not from what someone else
Has said or done
And so I live my life
From day to day
While feeling my way
Just like a child
For myself
I must learn for myself
The future that some else
May say will come
May never be
What destiny holds for me
Let me see
For myself!

Blue Skies
Irving berlin
Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singing the song
Nothing but bluebirds all day long
I never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When youre in love, my, how they fly
Blue days all of them gone
Nothing but blue skies from now on

Bye Bye Blackbird
Fletcher henderson, dixon
Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, singing low,
Bye-bye blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me, sugars sweet, so is she,
Bye-bye blackbird.
No one here can love and understand me.
Oh -- what hard-luck stories they all hand me.
Make my bed and light the light
Ill arrive late tonight,
Blackbird, bye-bye.

Mr. Smith
don't you realize, Mr. Smith?
don't you realize what thirty dollars buy today?
just some stockings, and that's it.
I came from Havanah
my mother was wild as you are
she often said to me
my child, don't sell yourself
for just a dollar or two
if you end up like me
god bless you, child
so think it over
for that littlemoney
you give to me, Mr. Smith
