Maybe Tomorrow

I dont know how many stars there are
Up in the heavenly sky
I only know my heaven is here on earth
Each time you look into my eyes
Youre all I need to get by
No-one else can make me cry
The way you do baby
My beutiful bird you have flown away
I held you to tight I can see
Youre all I need to get by
No-one else can make me cry
The way you do baby
(instrumental)
You are the book that Im reading babe
You are the song that I sing
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow youll change your mind girl
Maybe tomorrow youll come back to my arms
Youre all I need to get by
No-one else can make me cry

Higher Ground

Moon and stars sit way up high
Earth and trees beneath them lie
The wind blows fragrant lullaby
To cool the night for you and i
On the wing the birds fly free
Leviathan tames angry sea
The flower waits for honeybee
The sunrise wakes new life in me.
(chorus)
And every hour of every day Im learning more
The more I learn, the less I know about before
The less I know, the more I want to look around
Digging deep for clues on higher ground...
The fishes swim while rivers run
Thru fields to feast my eyes upon
Intoxicated drinking from
The loving cup of burning sun
In dreams Ill crave familiar taste
Of whispered rain on weary face
Of kisses sweet and warm embrace

War Poem

Silence falls in no man's land
To echo on uncertain steps
Sharp of eye & quick of hand
Advancing forward to regrets
Underfoot the bombs & mortars
Sleep awaiting coded warnings
From the top the barking orders
Light the sky on these dark mornings
CHORUS
Seek asylum from the terror
Reaching out for what it's worth
Shelter from the raging anger
Raining down on bitter earth
Sympathy for all who's hurting
Getting lost between the lines
It's the stuff that keeps returning
Laughing loud in victor's lies
Up above on wind's declaring
Soon the cold will whistle through
Push aside the warm sierras

Until My Dying Day

Now I know your secret
I promise that Ill keep it
So confidentially
Between just you and me, Ill never leak it
Im the specialist
I know you cant resist
Ill bypass your alarm
No need to twist my arm, I insist
If youre looking for a war
Theres a market for betrayal
Dont ask me what I saw
Yknow my secrets not for sale
Dont ask me what I heard
Yknow I promised not to say
I said Id never breathe a word
Until my dying day
Well seeing is believing
No use in your deceiving
For now I know its true
Its you that holds the clue, Ill be leaving

Verison Girl

(chorus)
Version girl, what's your name?
Oh you come and you go,
Version girl, what's your name?
Just like the morning sun.
It's so hard to find a personality with charms
Like yours for me.
Oo-ee oo-ee oo-ee
Version girl, what's your name?
Don't you know I long to say.
Version girl, what's your name?
It's so hard to find a personality
With charms like yours for me
Oo-ee oo-ee oo-ee
I sit in the sun waiting for you to come along
So my heart will be satisfied
So please let me be your number one
Under the moon, under the stars and under the sun.
(chorus)
Version girl, whats's you name?

The Time Has Come

There is no time to sit around and wait
Dont you know the world, it is of love and of hate
Now is the time, weve got to be strong
We cant go wrong
Because the time has come, the time has come
To be free cant you see
Shup doo doop, shup doo doop doop doo doo doo
Shup doo doop, shup doo doop doop doo doo doo
Dont you know the cheating, the killing, backbiting it cannot help
Cos cant you see them problems, its everyday
Theyve got to solve themselves
Cos now is the time, we gotta be strong
We cant go wrong
Because the time has come, the time has come
To be free cant you see
Shup doo doop, shup doo doop doop doo doo doo
Shup doo doop, shup doo doop doop doo doo doo
There is no time to sit around and wait
Dont you know the world, it is of love and of hate
Cos now is the time, weve got to be strong

Please Don`t Make Me Cry

You say you are going to leave me
I'm begging you to stay
My baby I can't get through any way
No I can't
And when I wake up in the morning
You are gone
Little pretty thing
You know i'll be all alone
(chorus)
You'll hear me crying (mmmmmmm)
Please don't make me cry (mmm mmmm)
'cos I can't say good-bye (mmmmm)
Please don't make me cry
Because I know
There will be nothing left for me
All them good good times
We spent together
You said it was me and no other (yeah)
And now you want to make me pain inside
Darlin' I know you are going to make me cry

Cover Up

Cover up
With loving protection
Guard your love
In every direction CHORUS
Don't give up
For fear of rejection
Stand your ground and voice an objection

Run away my sister and brother
Be afraid of love when the lover VERSE 1
Tries to read the book by the cover
Wrapped up in the arms of another

(Repeat chorus)

Cover up prolonging the yearning
Just ahead the fires are burning VERSE 2
Swim for shore the tides are now turning
Love the ones you love with your learning

Its all true, girl
I really and truely love you
Even true the times I make you feel blue, you,
You captured my heart and my mind

Contaminated Minds

Some people search for the holy grail
Run round in circles and chase their own tails
But you cant really blame them for clutching at straws
For weeding some truth in our morals and laws
Some people say that revolution will descend
On this madness end this confusion
But weve all heard the privileged boast and preach
And the promised land we want is still out of reach
I once knew a man who wore self-righteousness
Like a medal on his inflated chest
He hated all people for breaking his rules
Looked down with distaste on the cowards and fools
He lived like a king in his castle of stone
And sneered at the man who worked hard for his home
He knew all the right words and who to defend
And would be with conviction the working mans friend
Chorus
Contaminated minds play judge and jury too
But contaminated minds are blind to truth
Contaminated minds speak with loudest voice
