THE LIGHT

It is the spirit that opens up the door
And I’m near it I never want for more
In times of trouble it never lets me down
It keeps me level…my feet on the ground

(Chorus) It is the light in you
It is the light in me
It is the light that shows us the way

My intuition and my higher love
Brings on fruition from Heaven up above
Well it’s no secret they’re giving it away
Just release it and pass it on today

It is the light that sets us free
It is the light that’s giving you
It is the light that shows us the way

FOOTPRINTS

Walking alone with the world on my mind
Looking for love while you were there all the time
Sand on my feet but I was so infinitely blind

Looking for love without ever looking inside
Don’t you know time slips away through the hour glass of time
Sand on my feet but still so infinitely blind

Looking for love without ever looking inside
Don’t you know time slips away through the hour glass of time
And God loves you and he’s there all the time

FOREVER

Hey Baby,
Feels like a thousand years since you walked my way
Stay a minute lady
 I have a thousand things I need to say…yes I do
What I have to say baby is urgent
I’ve got to get you in my everyday hey, oh
My one and only lady I want you in my everyday

Forever
I have wandered around
Forever
I was lost but now I’m found
Forever
I have inside my dreams
Forever
Is not long enough for me, no not long enough for me

Just want to thank you baby
For all the love you’ve given me
It feels like heavens gate yeah
For as far as I can see

(Chorus) Forever……..

(Outré) No not long enough for me
I was lost but now I found
I was blind but now I see

VAYA CON DIOS

I’ve been searching my soul
For the reason you should stay
You know it ain’t so easy letting go
The memories of yesterday
So

(Chorus) Vaya con dios
May God guide your life
Vaya con dios
Everyday, every night

There is something you should know
Before I just let you go your way
And I completely let you go
I loved you baby every second, every minute of everyday

 Of your reality

SCARS

I got scars on my face
Courtesy of the human race
There’s one on my heart
From a lover torn apart
There’s one between my eyes
From a lawman’s despise

I get scars on my face
Every time I lose my place, sing

(Chorus)
E yeah e yeah e yeah
E yeah e yeah e yeah e yeah
E yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I’ve got scars on my soul
Left from a beautiful beautiful world
I have hope in my heart
For a brown eyed little girl
I get jaded on my trust
 Every time I think I must
I get scars on my face
Every time I lose my place, sing

(Chorus)

If you love what you despise
Your chances to survive are
Less than the average guy
Practice what you preach
And the lessons that you teach
Will not be denied…..

Yes you still loved me
One kiss on my face and
You brought me to my feet

You still found me
You put me in a place
To fall into my dreams

So swing me swiftly
Into my new reality yeah yeah
Where every heavenly
Dreams begets a dream

Angel knows my hell
Angel throws the coins baby
Into my wishing well

Let this be the start
 of the never ending
I will be your heart and
You’ll be running through my veins

POET

Shine, shine , shine, shine into your life
(Chant 4 times)

Words slip from his lips
Beautiful tragic and hip
He don’t do it for the money
Cause ain’t no money in it
He’s a poet

She hold the world
On her fingertips
The moon the stars
Just below her hips
She turns her pain and love
Into metaphoric bliss
She’s a poet

Sista, sista, sista, sista, hey hey
Brotha, brotha, brotha brotha
Beautiful wordsmiths
Free the chains of your mind
Drop the words from your lips
And be a poet

They live just short of 125th
A plant, a rug, some books on English lit
They don’t even know
How they gonna make it
They are poets

(Chorus)

Brother
Father
Mother
Haters
Lovers
Writers

Dance with me tonight
As I hold tight
Little Sunflower

Tell me all you’ve seen
Waltz across moonbeams
Little sunflower

Dance through the cold night
Learning all life’s lessons
Beauty is your blessing

If you you stay with me
You can pray with me
Little sunflower

(Chorus)

One thing you should know
Love will come and go
Little sunflower

If you stay with me
You can pray with me
Little sunflower

SUGAR

Your ancient eyes
Could never disguise
The things that you’ve seen
Your soul and mind
Have traveled through time
The places you’ve been

(Chorus)
When you pray you fly
So high in the sky
With God in your wings
The song that you sing
Is never denied
With God on your side
You’re as sweet as sugar

Your curious mind
Is searching to find
 The new mystery
On borrowed time
You’re racing to find
The lock for the key

(Chorus)

SPEND THE NIGHT IN DC

Walk with me brother
Talk with me sister
I know you and
Your know me

The sun is setting
Just the west of us
Lights so bright
We could hardly see

(Chorus) The day was beautiful
But the night is calling me
Spend the night, spend the night
In DC, in DC

We always talk of
Being free
Just close your eyes
So we can see
You know the sun is setting
Just the west of we lights so bright
We could hardly see

(Chorus)

MEDITATION

How do I love you
When we’re worlds apart
Do we ever meet
Or can I reach your heart

Seem that I know you
From another lifetime
Was it a story, a poem
Or a little rhyme

If love comes to those who wait
Why is it that love
Always make me wait

And I guess you’re out there
You’re somewhere out there
And if you’re lookin’ for me
I’ll be over here…so

Breathe in deeply
And close your eyes
And wait for the sensation and
There you’ll find me
Deep in meditation

And how do I love you
When you’ve stole my heart
Have I lost my mind
Or can I play the part

Seems that I know you
From another life time
Was it a story a poem
Or a little rhyme…so

(Chorus)

STILL TRIPPIN’

Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Chant 6 times)

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Feels like the world’s not
Checkin’ me
In time, in time, in time
I know that I’ll be free
My faith, my faith my faith
Knows possibilities
My soul, my soul, my soul
Is tryin’ to break free

(Chorus) it’s a strange world
With all the gifts He gave you
It’s a strange world
It’s only human nature
That you’re still trippin’ baby

Your love, your love, your love
Breathes new life into me
My heart my heart my heart
Know possibilities yeah
My life, my life, my life
Is asking me to be
It is love, it is love
That brings it all to me

(Chorus)

(Breakdown) yeah yeah yeah
 (Chant 6 times)

All the gifts he gave you
It’s only human nature
You are still trippin
(Chorus, 1st verse, 2nd verse, chorus, outré’)

THE MIDDLE PASSAGE

Shango (chant 4 times)
African, Caribbean, new world
Black feet will dance

Sound of the drums
To the beat of the heart
From a world once romanced

Feet in the dust
To sand of the shore
Black feet will dance

Shango (chant 4 times)

Shackled from right to left
To enter a world
Left to chance

Dead thrown in the ocean
Most auctioned in Spain,
England or France
In spite of the fall of the multitudes
Black feet will dance

Shango (chant 4 times)
