Kiss & Say Goodbye
I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me till I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we done, oh was wrong
Please darlin, don't you cry
Let's just kiss & say goodbye
Many months have passed us by
I'm gonna miss you
I can't lie, I've got ties, & so do you
I just think this is the thing to do
It's gonna hurt me I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy
Understand me won't you try,try,try,try,try,try,try
Let's just kiss & say goodbye
I'm gonna miss you I can't lie
Understand me, won't you try
It's gonna hurt me I can't lie
Take my handkerchief & wipe your eyes

Watchdogs
You try to close your ears
And you try to close your eyes
But the blasphemies keep coming
Tempting you lies
(chorus)
Give thanks for you protection
Your watchdogs of the night
Who hold the hungry wolves at bay
And keep them out of sight, out of sight
You just don't understand it
But it strikes a distant chord
So you look for away of escaping
And sanity's restored
(chorus)
Give thanks for your protection
Your .......
You focus your direction
Cloak tightly pulled around
But somewhere in the distance
You can hear a haunting sound

Soul Rebel
Im a rebel, soul rebel
Im a capturer, soul adventurer
See the morning sun, on the hillside
Not living good, yeah
You better travel wide
You better travel wide
Said Im a living man
Ive got work to do
If youre not happy, children
Then you must be blue
I said, you must be blue
Im a rebel, soul rebel
Im a capturer, soul adventurer
Im a rebel, rebel in the morning time
Soul rebel
Im a capturer
Soul adventurer
See the morning sun, on the hillside
Not living good, yeah
You better travel wide

Light My Fire
(Jim Morrison, John Densmore, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger)
You know that it would be untrue
You know that it would be lie
If i was to say to you
Girl we couldn't get much higher
The time to hesitate is true
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love becomes a funeral fire
The time to hesitate is true
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love becomes a funeral fire
[Chorus:]
Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is true
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose

Here I Am
I can't believe that it's real
The way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that i cannot hide
I know it's you and me babe
That makes the world go round
Ah keeping you in love with me baby
Laying all my troubles down
(chorus)
Here i am babe, come and take me
Here i am babe, wont ya come and take me
Take me by the hand, ooh show me
Here i am babe, oooooaaah
It always ends up this way
Me begging you every day
A love that i cannot have
You broke my heart in two halves
Ooh i know it's you and me babe
That makes the world go round
Ah keeping you in love with me baby

Dont Blame Me
I think its only fair to say
We'd welcome riches down our way
No stigma knotted in my hair
I want to be a millionaire
Nevertheless I must insist
A thought is spared for those who missed
The handouts when it came to wealth
To education and good health
The time has come now all can see
As seeing this is killing me
Our future victim to command
Together we can lend a hand
(chorus)
So don't blame me for wanting more
The facts are too hard too ingnore
I'm scared to death of poverty
I only want whats best for me
But even so i'm holding on
I think the world can live as one
If only credence took the lead

Sing Our Own Song
The great flood of tears that we've cried
For our brothers and sisters who've died
Over four hundred years
Has washed away our fears
And strengthened our pride
Now we turn back the tide
We will no longer hear your command
We will sieze the control from your hand
We will fan the flame
Of our anger and pain
And you'll feel the shame
For what you do in gods name
(chorus)
We will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
When the ancient drum rythms ring
The voice of our forefathers sings
Forward africa run

Groovin
I get my kicks from watching people
Running too and fro
And if you ask them where they're going
Half of the don't know
They're the ones who think i'm crazy
But they don't realize
(chorus)
That i'm just groovin, groovin
Grooving out on life
I'm just groovin ooh grovin
Grovin till I die
I see a river flowing by me
Heading for the sea
I get a feeling deep inside me
It's so good to be free
I've got sunshine in the daytime
And moonlight every night
And i'm just groovin ......
(middle eight)
I see a river flowing by me

I Won't Close My Eyes
(chorus)
I won't close my eyes
To the sufferers plight.
In a world full of sadness
I won't turn off my light.
Our cries for justice are shots in the dark
But our strength's in our bite
And not in our bark
It's time to stand
And shout it out loud
And the louder we scream
The sweeter the sound.
(chorus)
I won't close my eyes
When i know that i'm right
When i'm drowning in tears
I won't turn off my light.
We're shown no respect
But that can't break our pride,
When our backs to the wall
