"Strange Fruit"

   
(L. Allan)

Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the roots
Black bodies swingin' in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees

Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh
And the sudden smell of burning flesh

Here is the fruit
For the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather
For the wind to suck
For the sun to rot
For the tree to drop

Here is a strange and bitter crop

"God Bless The Child"

   
(B. Holiday/A. Herzog, Jr.)

Them that's god shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the bible says
And it still is news

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Yeah, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't
Ever make the grade

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowdin' round the door
When it's gone and
Spendin' ends
They don't come no more

Rich realations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

"Touch Me In The Morning"

   
(Ron Miller and Michael Masser)

Touch me in the morning
Then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow
But we had yesterday
Hey, wasn't it me who said
That nothin' good's gonna last forever
And wasn't it me who said
Let's just be glad for the time together
Must've been hard to tell me
That you've given all you had to give
I can understand your feelin' that way
Ev'rybody's got their life to live

Well, I can say goodbye
In the cold morning light
But I can't watch love die
In the warmth of the night
If I've got to be strong
don't you know I need to have tonight
When you're gone, till you go
I need to lie here and
Think about the last time
You'll touch me in the morning
Then just close the door
Leave me as you found me
Empty like before

Hey, wasn't it yesterday
We used to laugh at the wind behind us
Didn't we run away and hope
That time wouldn't try to find us
Didn't we take each other
To a place where no one's ever been
Yeah I realy need you near me tonight
'Cause you'll never take me there again
Let me watch you go with the sun in my eyes

We've seen how love can grow
Now we'll see how it dies
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to have tonight
When you're gone, till you go
I need to hold you until the tie
Your hands reach out and

Touch me in the morning
Then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow
But we had yesterday
We're blue and gold
and we could feel one another living
We walked with a dream to hold
And we could take what the world was giving
There's no tomorrow here
There's only love and the time to chase it
Yesterday's gone my love
There's only now and it's time to face it

"All Of My Life"

   
(Michael Randall)

All of my life
I have walked alone
In search of a star
You are that star
You're the one I've waited for
You're the one I've waited for

All of my life
There's a song to sing
A chorus for two
All that love can bring
I'll share here with you
You can make it all come true

So darling
All of your life to share
Is all I'm asking
All of the minutes and the years
All of your happiness
And sometimes all your tears

So darling
All of my life to share
Is all I give you
All of the flowers in the field
We'll walk together through the sunsets and the years

So darling
All of my life to share
Is all I'll give you
And all of the flowers in the field
We'll walk together through the sunsets and the years
All of my life
There's a song to sing
A chorus for two
All that love can bring
I'll share here with you
You can make it all come true

So darling
All of my life to share
Is all I'm asking
All of the minutes and the years
All of your happiness
And sometimes all your tears

So darling
All of my life to share
Is all I give you
All of the flowers in the field
We'll walk together through the sunsets and the years

So darling
All of your life to share
Is all I'm asking

"We Need You"

   
(Deke Richards)

As I glance across the table
Your empty chair is out of place
Living here just ain't that easy now
But there are signs of trying on my face

We need you
You're the strength
You're the sunshine of our days
We need you
And the wisdom of your ways
In our dreams, you are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you
Life is one long lonely day

Both the kids, they still love you
You know, they always ask me
When is daddy coming home
Then we talk, and laugh about the good times
Without you, they still feel so alone

We need you
You're the strength
You're the sunshine of our day
We need you
And the wisdom of your way
In our dreams
You are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you, life is one long lonely day

Someone's knocking at the door of my heart
Telling me what we need
Is a brand new start
That ain't true
We need you

In our dreams
You are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you life is one long lonely day

We need you
We need you
In our dreams you are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you life is one long lonely day
We need you
We need you

In our dreams
You are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you life is one long lonely day

"Leave A Little Room"

   
(Michael Randall)

If your heart is breaking
'Cause your dream's not coming true
Leave a little room
To start again

If your faith is shaken
Though it seems you thought it through
Leave a little room
For it to mend
Leave a little room
To find a friend
Leave a little room
To start again

First you think you're alone
And the world's made of stone
And the game isn't fair
'Till you know someone cares
'Till someone cares

If your love is leaving
And you thought that it was true
Leave a little room
To think again

If your heart is bleeding
And you don't know what to do
Leave a little room
For it to mend
Leave a little room
To find a friend
Leave a little room
To start again

And you're glad you're alive
You've got nothing to hide
And the feeling is free
And the feeling is me

If your heart is breaking
'Cause your dream's not coming true
Leave a little room
To start again

If your love is leaving
And you thought that it was true
Leave a little room
To find it
Put a little faith behind it

Leave a little room
And start again
Leave a little room
To find it
Put a little faith behind it
Leave a little room
And start again
Leave a little room
To start again

"I Won't Last A Day Without You"

   
(Paul Williams/R. Nichols)

Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong,
I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care
You're always there

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

So many times when the city seems to be
Without a friendly face,
A lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you always smile
It's all worth while

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringin'
I can't really lose when you're near
When you're near my love
If all my friends have forgotten all their promisses
They're not unkind,
Just hard to find
One look at you and I know that
I could learn to live without the rest
I found the best

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day...

"Little Girl Blue"

   
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)

When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel

The circustent was strong
With every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well

Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsle and gold

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Oh girl you're through
All you can count on are your fingers
Unlucky little girl blue

Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue

No use oh girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer little girl blue

"Imagine"

   
(John Lennon)

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too

Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Imagine all possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

"Brown Baby"

   
(Oscar Brown Jr.)

Brown baby
Brown baby
As you grow up
I want you to drink from the plenty cup
I want you to stand up
Tall and proud
I want you to speak up
Speak up clear and cloud

Brown baby
Brown baby
As years roll by
Walk with your head held high
I want you to live by
Live by the justice code
I want you to walk down
Walk down the freedom road

Brown baby
Brown baby
Now baby
Lie away
Lie away sleeping
Lie away here in my arms
While your mommy and daddy protect you
And keep you save from harm

Brown baby
Brown baby
It makes me so glad
That you will have things
I've never had
When out of men's hearts
All the hate is hurled
You're gonna live
You're gonna live in a better world

Brown baby
Mmammamama
Brown baby
Mmammamama
Sweet thing
Lie away sleeping
