Hello, heres the resume
How low, on a runway
Hello, wana run away
Hello, lets stay!

for couples only

Riding on the top
thats your favorite spot
you do me till I drop
come ready or not.

In the summer time
in the heat of the night
you take it in a stride
riding to the top

Stand by you

You can be a Christian or a Jew
You can be a Muslim or a Hindu
Protestants, Lutheran, Catholics, all the others and even Atheists too
I will stand by you
Stand by you,
Will you, stand by me?
I will stand by you.

She will talk about designing the house
I will listen while trying to fix my song
then I realized
the song is in front of me...

What is it?

Most of the bankers and the insurance corporations
they got their bail outs and left me the bill
and people are lost in what the TV says
who cares if the economy is going down the hill?

Still
I
want to set up, get up
and do
something about it
I cant
can not
I wont be one of those
who stay silent

I'm not
not one of those
those who stay silent

is it the Illuminati?
Is it the Jihadi?
Is it the free masons?
Is it some Zionist movement
is it some Muslims?
Is it some Jews?
is it some Christians
or people with no faith at all
is it the greed of money?
is it satan? is it the angel? or maybe no one.
Is it a conspiracy theory?
Is it my own justification?
Is someones defeat is someones glory?
it does make a good story..

Sara Zamana bulao
duniya walon ko uttha kay jagaao
katchori say pulao bhi khillao

hum aut tum
bhi yeho chahatay thaty
apnay dono
sandwiches kha kay
bhaitain gay
samandar kay kinaray
magar police walon nay ghalat samjha...

chup chup si
kiyun ho tum baithee
chup chup si
kiyun ho tum larki
chup chup si
kiyun ho kiyun ho?

I got places to go

this shows he's a bad man
he'd do for them what he wouldn't for him
look at how people treat other people
selfish men
got no juices in them

who cares what you got to show
I got places to go
Who cares whats going down with you
I got better things to do

Slippers

All she asked for was a slipper
the one that comes with the beads
size 6 is what she asked for
said can I get just one please

She would never ask you for much
except for, just a little bit of respect
something i couldn't give enough of
how really stupid of me?

Someone who would give up her life
So that she could build your home
Even if you get her all the pearls from the sky
she'd settle
for just one slipper
she'll settle
for just one slipper,
come on man, just love her

a thousand miles away

Sitting here
in this hotel room
more than a thousand miles away from home
I keep thinking about
all the bed time stories
I read to you, guys
Funny how time flies
these moments will never last
but I'm sitting right here
watching over you
as you close your eyes to sleep
nighty night sleep tight
I"ll watch you grow

I must say I'm blessed
I thank God for the happiness
for a chance to see all this
to feel it
to see it

So what if you
cant get it now
when comes the time
you will get it somehow

So what if you
cant get it now
there comes a time
when you will somehow

Sister Rivera

There she goes
like a river she flows
tonight shes feeding the poor
and everybody knows
about the love she grows
and how she gives it away
she even gave her self...

she was the queen of project downtown in Tampa
Khadijah Rivera
She build a home for the homeless of Florida
Sister Rivera
She loved the birds chirping down in Tampa
Sister Rivera
She was the wind that would blow out in Florida
Khadijah Rivera

And everyday she would
show you some good
and how to take it as it comes
She had it all covered
and understood
but not a lot of people knew her
but everybody lost her

She was the wind that blows out in Tampa
Sister Rivera
She was the home of the homeless of Florida
Khadijah Rivera
She was the queen of project downtown in Tampa
Khadijah Rivera
She loved the birds chirping down in Florida
Sister Rivera.

She was the wind that blows out of Tampa
Khadijah Rivera
She was the home for the homeless of Florida
Sister Rivera
She loved the birds chirping down in Tampa
Khadijah Rivera
She gave it all for the people of Florida
Sister Rivera

And so she took off her coat
didn't mind the cold
that homeless woman needed it more
she said she got another one
simply lying at home
but the truth was that she didn't
now everybody's lost her

Sister K
You OK?
Why'd you have to go this way?
Sister K
You OK?
I'll be checking on you
I'll be okay.

Its not my call
she'd tell you so
these decisions are made in heaven
she had it her way
be right here today
but you know this is not how it happens...

Sister K
You OK?
I didn't hear from you today?
Sister k
It's OK
you just try to have a
try to have a good day.

Sister K
where are you today
maybe we'll meet one day
Sister K
I'll be OK
don't worry about me
you just try to have a great day!

She wanted to surprise all the youth in Tampa
Said Khadijah Rivera
But before she could spread her wings over Florida
She left forever.
She was the wind that blows out in Tampa
Sister Rivera
She loved the birds chirping down in Florida
Khadijah Rivera
She was the queen of project downtown in Tampa
Khadijah Rivera
she build a home for the homeless of Florida
Sister Rivera
She was the wind that blows out of Tampa
Khadijah Rivera
She had this habit of helping others
Sister Rivera
They knew her from New York to Florida
Khadijah Rivera


Life walks in
life walks in
life walks in and takes it away
life works in
life works in
life works in
strange ways.

snow infactuation

In to the storm
you are not alone
they're waiting at home
you are not alone
as you go into the storm

You're falling slow
falling like snow
soft and silky, though
you are not alone
as you go into the storm

in to the storm
you are not alone
they are waiting at home
cant wait no more, here you go, in to the storm

In to the storm
you are not alone
they're waiting at home
you are not alone
as you go into the storm

You're falling slow
falling like snow
soft and silky, though
driving all alone
as you go into the storm

in to the storm
you are not alone
they are waiting at home
cant wait no more, here you go, in to the storm

lottery

Some times I want to break through
from all the chains that bind me
Wouldn't it be good for you, too
If I win a million dollars in a lottery

so much left to do

See how much you've traveled
haven't you come so far
have you reached the end of the earth
or are you standing at its start?
And there is so much more to do
so far left to go
lets kill this cigarette
and put the show on the road.

See how much you've traveled
Haven't you come so far
have you finally reached the end
or are you standing at the start

and this world around you
is as aether as its real
so whats it going to come down to?
Doe sit matter where I'm from
or where my ancestors came from

As long as your standing here speaking
you're a part of this existence

And when everything is said and done
and you're left all by yourself
you know you cant run away from everyone
you have got to take a stand

so live on
be strong
live it on

I'll be leaving, too

I cant find a way
to make you stay
if you don't want to walk with me
if you don't want to walk with me
what can I say
except that its OK

but stick around
and wait for your turn
we still got so much
more to learn

but I'll be leaving you
I'll be leaving too
I'll be leaving soon,
though I love you.
Yes

Lets go flying
on the power of our dreams
don't stop keep trying
cant get any harder than it is
I want to see
your smiling face
and let the light shine
to take me out of this place

Yes I'll be leaving you
I'll be leaving too
I'll be laving soon
though I love you
and I love you
yes.

but I'll be leaving soon
somewhere in 1991 or 92 or maybe 93
