Step into a world
Where you are the star
Follow the red velvet
And you’ll find the door
You’ll know you’ve arrived
See your name in flashing lights
We’ll teach you ‘bout the finer things
What makes you come alive?
Is it fame?
Or romance?
Cash money?
Or do you want to dance?
I’m inviting you to let loose
Let the rhythm get inside you
Set your mind at ease and boogie down
Forget all your problems
When we hit the one
Close your eyes and let desire be your guide
It’s your lucky day
I’d hate to see all this go to waste
Whatever you want, we got it
Bet your bottom dollar
Right here in the pocket
We’ve been watching you
We’ve got just the thing
To make you feel complete
And if you’re not the first in line
You’ll fall behind
Stay on your toes
Listen to the beat
Every night
A new surprise
And the band’s outta sight
Like Morris Day Meets Super Fly
I’m inviting you to let loose
Let the rhythm get inside you
Set your mind at ease and boogie down
Forget all your problems
When we hit the one
Close your eyes and let desire be your guide
It’s your lucky day
Say what would it take to make you stay
Whatever you want, we got it
Bet your bottom dollar
Right here in the pocket
You can have anything you’d like
Step up, don’t you be shy
We can fill the hole inside your heart
Sign that dotted line
No one leaves unsatisfied
No one leaves unsatisfied
No one leaves unsatisfied
Only a fool would walk away…
Whatever you want, we got it
Bet your bottom dollar
Right here in the pocket
Show me the money!

Hey there sugar
Why so bitter?
How ‘bout some company?
You don’t have to
Be alone now
I’ve got one extra seat
From across the room you caught my eye
I apologize for staring
I had to take a chance and come say hi
Would you sit with me a minute?
Pour it up
Is it too soon to be love?
Close enough
Let’s meet again tomorrow
Share a cup
Ain’t no telling where this will end up
I’ll meet you at the coffee house
Let’s get lost in
Conversation
Open your heart to me
Watching your lips
I lost track of the time
Come again baby, please repeat
I don’t mean to take up all your time
I just can’t imagine leaving
You know it isn’t everyday you find
Someone with a heart worth stealing
Pour it up
Is it too soon to be love?
Close enough
Let’s meet again tomorrow
Share a cup
Aint not telling where this will end up
I’ll meet you at the coffee house
I won’t let you fall
I swear I’m sincere
I would risk it all for you
There’s nothing to fear
Pour it up
Is it too soon to be love?
Close enough
Let’s meet again tomorrow
Share a cup
Ain’t no telling where this will end up
I’ll meet you at the coffee house
I’ll say it again now baby
I’ll meet you at the coffee house
Bring your love, bring your loving to me baby
I’ll meet you at the coffee house

Tell me have you seen my lover
Last I heard she was only stepping out
Hair done up, ruby lips, her best dress, how could I miss- just
Tell me have you seen her around…
I call but theres no answer
No one seems to know
I’ve got a sinking feeling
Where has my girl gone?
I pickup the pace
Hoping to see her face
She didn’t leave a trace
And as far as I can tell
She ain’t stepping out
All alone my thoughts are so unruly
Wondering what she’s getting up to
Holding hands, making plans, kissing on another man
I can’t believe my baby let me down…
Running round in circles
Like I’m chasing a ghost
I can’t shake this feeling
That my girl is gone…
I pickup the pace
Hoping to see her face
She didn’t leave a trace
As far as I can tell
She ain’t stepping out
Minutes feel like days
My heart is about to break
As far as I can tell
She ain’t stepping out
What is love
What does it mean to you?
What is love
If you don’t see it through?
Baby tell me what was I to you
I pickup the pace
Hoping to see your face
You didn’t leave no trace
As far as I can tell
You ain’t stepping out
So don’t bother coming home
You ain’t welcome no more
No don’t bother coming home
You ain’t welcome no more
I won’t let nobody hold me down
It’s my turn this time baby
Imma steppin’ out

Remember when you set out?
Every dream within reach
Nothing could stop you, you truly believed
The path would appear at your feet
Remember how it felt?
When you trusted your heart to lead
Before the failures, pressure and time
Brought you face to face with defeat
Through change
Fear cannot hold you unless you give in and give it the
Reigns
To live is to learn through the trials and pain
You may not be half of what you thought
But you’ve made it this far
Keep on moving
The farther you travel, the deeper the soothing
Many a hard days night
You’ve been down every road
But you can’t tell what’s wrong or right
And there is no end in sight…
You must be broken down
But one thing that I know for sure
If you give up now
You’ll never find your groove
Through change
Fear cannot hold you unless you give in and give it the
Reigns
To live is to learn through the trials and pain
You may not be half of what you thought
Yet you’ve made it this far
Keep on moving
The farther you travel, the deeper the soothing
You may not be half of what you thought
Yet you’ve made it this far
Keep on moving
You fought for what you’ve got
Through change
Fear cannot hold you unless you give in and give it the
Reigns
To live is to learn through the trials and pain
You may not be half of what you thought
Yet you’ve made it this far
Keep on moving
The farther you travel, the deeper the soothing
You may not be half of what you thought
Yet you’ve made it this far
Keep on moving
You fought for yes you fought for what you’ve got!

Your life’s an empty page
You’re free to create
Whatever you wish
No two are the same
It’s not so easy to learn
The tricks of the trade
But every mistake
Will help guide your way
Tell me do you understand?
The outcome lies inside your hand
The only one who can save you is you…
You draw the lines
Every stroke defines your image
Only you have the power to change it
You draw the lines
I watched you sink
Into despair
You body tense
Your mind unaware
If you leave the quill
Leave the ink
Leave your page bare
You’ve deny the world
The gifts you have to share
Tell me do you understand?
The outcome lies inside your hand
The only one who can save you is you…
You draw the lines
Every stroke defines your image
Only you have the power to change it
You draw the lines
You can have anything you want
Your life’s a work of art
And you’re the mastermind
You draw the lines…
You draw the lines
You draw the lines

Voice of Truth

“Time to wake up”
A voice no louder than a whisper
Pulled me from my dreams one night
I lay awake in bed
And strained to listen
For a message in the quiet
At first the words
Were puzzling and distant
But I found by morning light
That I could hear them
Loud and clear
Mesmerized by every line
You are earth
You are fire
The wind that shakes the trees
You are water
Darkness, light
The forces in between
Once you see we’re all the same
Share the message your own way
You have been called to help the people hear the
Voice of Truth
Voice of Truth
I pulled myself together
Stepped into the kitchen
Seemed to me the world had changed
Breakfast never tasted
So delicious
The coffee in my cup was twice the strength
And as I read the news
I felt connected
To the people and their stories in a strange new way
I laughed, I cried
For the first time
I realized we’re all the same
Family
Friend and foe
There is a thread that binds us
Everything
Through space and time
No matter how divided
We may seem. And once you see it
You must speak up straight away
You have been called to help the world hear the
Voice of Truth
Voice of Truth
Frightened that the world would go on sleeping
I ran into the street to seize the day
The flowers leapt up from their beds to greet me
The birds sang aloud as if to say
You’re the sun
You are the moon
The stars that dance above
Like constellations
Here on earth
We are bound by love
Animals, people and plants
We are all but grains of sand
Sing with us and help the world hear the
Voice of Truth
Voice of Truth
Voice of Truth
Voice of Truth

A history
Of tension between us
Take my hand
Leave that behind
Holding onto hurt
Soon will defeat us
Love can save our world
There’s still time …
I’ll put my heart on the line everyday
Until we’re moving as one
And I know if you’ll do the same
We’ll build a better place
Hand in hand the only way
To keep tomorrow alive
Close your eyes
Think on the future
All your hopes and dreams
Coming to life
You are not afraid
Living is easy
With everybody standing
Side by side
I’ll put my heart on the line everyday
Until we’re moving as one
And I know if you’ll do the same
We’ll build a better place
Hand in hand the only way
To keep tomorrow alive
Say that you believe
It starts with you and me
We all have a part to play
To keep tomorrow alive
Well clock is ticking
Yes we are running out of time
On the horizon is destruction
You and I must change in order to survive
And yet we run in circles fighting with each other
And yet we victimize our own sisters and brothers
We need love
Time for love
I’ll put my heart on the line everyday
Until we’re moving as one
And I know if you’ll do the same
We’ll build a better place
Hand in hand the only way
To keep tomorrow alive
Say that you believe
It starts with you and me
We all have a part to play
To keep tomorrow alive

Trillion Dollar Man

Turn off your television, and your computer screen
Take a look around, our world is under siege
Many of us suffer, with unmet basic needs
Time to join the chorus and set the people free
Cut the trees
No one breathe
Poison food
Spreads disease
Toxic water
Burning sky
Slowly to set our world on fire
But it is not our world
If we leave it in the hands
of the million-dollar, billion-dollar, trillion-dollar man
No, it is not our world
If we’re too afraid to stand and face
The million-dollar, billion-dollar, trillion-dollar man
NO, NO
dressed down in designer, sitting way up high
cannot see the people, and yet they will decide
what’s best for us tomorrow, who is wrong and who is right
putting pen to paper, they sign away our lives…
Penthouse suite
Suit and tie
Telling jokes
Spreading lies
On the ground
People fighting to survive
In good business, many lose their lives
It is not our world
If we leave it in the hands
of the million-dollar, billion-dollar, trillion-dollar man
No, it is not our world
If we’re too afraid to stand and face
The million-dollar, billion-dollar, trillion-dollar man
We must stand together, seize opportunity
Build a world without corruption, a world without disease
a world where every nation is free from poverty
a world where education and learning never cease…

1000 : 1
They say we won’t make it back
chosen to give up our lives
and give the people of earth one more chance
But she kissed me deeply
And whispered “this won’t be our last —
Choose to believe
That your heart is safe in my hands
We are all
Just energy after all
Think of home
And there is no way you will fall
then the sky shook
Time to say our our final goodbyes
The crew exchanged looks
And we left our world behind
And all that I love
Was reduced to the size of an ant
But from up above
I held everything safely in my hands
We are all
Just energy after all
With their love
There is no way I will fall
You are now entering deep space
The world is counting on you to be brave
It is your task to find suitable place
This is a mission for humanity’s sake
You are now entering deep space
The world is counting on you to be brave
It is your task to find suitable place
This is a mission for humanity’s sake
We are all
Just energy after all
I won’t lose hope
No, there is no way I will fall…
