"The Giving Tree"

   
(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)

A warm wind is blowing through the valleys and the mountain tops
Down the road to a place we know so well
The children are running with ribbons in their baby hands
While we all gather 'round the Giving Tree

Let's go sing songs, the blue ones
Let's go sing about the Lord above
And thank the old sun for all we have
The sad times, the glad times
The babies swinging in our arms
Just don't seem like much like rain 'round the Giving Tree

Like the shedherds once followed a star bright up in the sky
We've come to say, come be with us know
Come give us a good one
Come give us a happy time
While we all here dance 'round the Giving Tree

"Take My Hand"

   
(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)

Girl you know, you can't go on this way
Night after night, day after every day
Whisper to me, what's in your aching heart
This love you need is not very far
Baby dry the tears from your eyes
And take my hand as we walk into the night

A soul on fire and a touch that's cold
Seems to me that's all you've ever known
Desperately looking for something that's real
Hard to find is the love that can heal
Baby dry the tears from your eyes
And take my hand as we walk into the night
Tender are the dreams
That we try so hard to hide, so deep inside

I don't know why you go on this way
Night after night, and about every day
Tell to me, the secrets only a girl could know
How much to feel and just how much to show
Baby dry the tears from your eyes
And take my hand as we walk into the night

"Jenny's Got A Pony"

   
(Cesar Rosas)

Hey Hey Hey, My My My
Hey Hey Hey, My My My
Jenny's got a pony so that Jenny can ride

Jenny can ride, Jenny can ride
Jenny's Got a pony so that Jenny can ride
Jenny's Got a pony so that Jenny can ride

One for my mother, one for my sister Sue
One for my brother and one for my father too
Pony can run, pony can jump so high
Jenny's Got a pony so that Jenny can ride

Jenny can ride, ride Jenny ride
Jenny can ride, ride Jenny ride
Jenny's Got a pony so that Jenny can ride
Jenny's Got a pony so that Jenny can ride

Hey Hey Hey, My My My
Hey Hey Hey, My My My
Jenny's got a pony so that Jenny can ride

Jenny can ride, ride Jenny ride
Jenny can ride, ride Jenny ride
Jenny's Got a pony so that Jenny can ride
Jenny's Got a pony so that Jenny can ride
Ride Jenny ride, ride Jenny ride
Ride Jenny ride, ride Jenny ride

"Be Still"

   
(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)

Let the calm, calm blue waters through
Wash your soul, passing right through you
Like the smallest rose out of the hardest ground
Like a tiny hand reaching up for the sun
Let us hope that our hearts are one
The toughest love is the strongest one
Like a crippled man fights his bitter pain
On two tired legs that hope to walk once again
Just stay gold and be still

As we grow, a river flows
Through our hearts
Finding peace wherever it may go

Let pure, pure blue waters through
Don't let the wind take them away
From you, the littlest star
Shines in the darkest night
Like a mother's ache brings in a new life
Just stay gold and be still
Pray that we can stay gold and be still

"The Neighborhood"

   
(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)

Brother finds trouble on the street
A piece of rock to make men weak
Trembling eyes at everyone he meets

Sister holds her baby in the bed
Dreams and wishes dancin' in her head
A love forever is what he said
That's what he said

Father leans back in his easy chair
A pint of whiskey, he just sits and stares
He don't know and he doesn't really care

Mother works at her nine to five
Hardly makes enough to keep alive
She bows her head with tears in her eyes

Thank you Lord for another day
Help my brother along his way
And please bring peace to the Neighborhood
Grant us all peace and serenity

They're just songs sung on a dirty street
Echoes of hope lie beneath their feet
Struggling hard to make ends meet

Thank you Lord for another day
Help my brother along his way
And please bring peace to the Neighborhood
Thank you Lord for another day
Help my brother along his way
And please bring peace to the Neighborhood
To the neighborhood, to the neighborhood, to the neighborhood

"Dream In Blue"

   
(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)

I peaked inside of the open door
Looked around - don't know what for
Way too bright - could hardly see
Oh no - can't believe it
Oh yeah - could almost see it
In a dream in blue

I flew around with shiny things
And when I spoke, I seemed to sing
High above - floating far away
Oh no - can't believe it
Oh yeah - could almost see it
In a dream in blue
In a dream in blue
Sock it to me one time

Woke up laughing in my bed
A silly smile stuck on my head
Am I real or still in a dream
Oh no - can't believe it
Oh yeah - could almost see it
Oh no - can't believe it
Oh yeah - could almost feel it
In a dream in blue
In a dream in blue

"Wake Up Dolores"

   
(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)

My legs are tired
My face feels hot
Wake up Dolores
Please try to walk

Oh sacred night
Ocuiltin
Moyacatla

Our light is dim
We have so far to go
The stones are hard
On this endless road

Oh sacred night
On quetzal plumes
Of dying suns
And purple moons
Oh sacred night

As an eagle soars
Our spirits fly
To our gentle rest
Under loving sky

Oh sacred night
On quetzal plumes
Of dying suns
And purple moons
Oh sacred night

Ocuiltin
Moyacatla
Otlica
Auh in caltech

"Angels With Dirty Faces"

   
(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)

Broken window smile
Weeds for hair
Strolling 'round the corner
Like a millionaire

And the angels with dirty faces
Go it alone

With one shoe on
And one shoe lost
Stands a wounded man
Who just laughs it off

And the angels with dirty faces
Go it alone
And the angels with dirty faces
Go it alone

Lost a brother last night
To the howling wind
Find an empty doorway
It'll be back again

And the angels with dirty faces
Go it alone
And the angels with dirty faces
Go it alone

"That Train Don't Stop Here"

   
(Cesar Rosas/Leroy Preston)

Looking out my window
I see my world has changed
The sun won't rise this mornin'
'Cause my baby's gone away

Yesterday I could tell myself
That she'd be back for sure
But that train don't stop here anymore
Anymore

She used to go out with the girls
Every now and then
She always came home early
We'd jump in bed by ten
She'd tell me that she loved me
She would forevermore
But that train don't stop here anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore, alright

Nothin' changes faster than baby's fickle mind
I know she's lovin' someone
Somewhere down the line
I know that she still has a key
I'm waiting by the door
But that train don't stop here anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore, alright

She ran out through the back door
Screamin' in the night
She said I was the devil
I didn't treat her right
That man down at the station
Said "That was her for sure"
Now that train don't stop here anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore, ah shucks

"Kiko And The Lavender Moon"

   
(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)

Kiko and the lavender moon
Out playing - makes believe
Nobody can see
And then he waits
And then he fakes
And then he bends
And then he shakes
He plays and plays
Still playing till he
Goes off to sleep

Kiko and the lavender moon
Out dancing making faces at
A big black cat
And then he flies
Up to the wall
Stands on one foot
Doesn't even fall
Dance and dance
Still dancing till
He goes off to sleep

He always sleeps
Till the sun goes down
He never wakes
Till no one's around
He never stops
Can't catch his breath
It's always there
Scares him to death

Kiko and the lavender moon
Out dreaming 'bout green shoes
Haircuts and cake
And then he wishes
The world away
And then he kneels
As if to pray
He dreams and dreams
Kiko and the lavender moon
