GET UP AND DANCE

From the clicking of my heels, to the tipping of my hat,
To the tip of my tongue, to the beating of my heart.
As the drums keep playing and the room keeps swaying,
Then the – bass and horns come alive.

It’s music to my ears, right down my spine to my heels.
You just have to get up and dance, and when the room keeps swaying,
You know it’s time when you get that feeling,
As the music vibrates off the ceiling, making sounds you never heard before.
You just have to get up and dance.

Can’t you feel the rhythm, can’t you feel the vibes.
Room is swaying and the band is live, and the moon is full and the crowds making room,
So keep those hips swaying as the band keeps playing,
You have to get up and dance.

My Rock

If I could turn back the hands of time,
Oh – the change that I would make.
There would be no grey skies, only sunny,
Bees would make more honey,
Your garden would have only red roses.

As the years passed by I noticed the twinkle in your eyes are fading,
I know you may walk a little slower, but I know you’re a little wiser.
So, when it comes to you my dear,
I wouldn’t change a thing.
You’re my rock, you’re my everything.

WHAT I’VE BEEN TOLD

Look for the rainbow after the Storm, then you’ll find a pot of gold,
This may be a myth so I’ve been told. But this is one thing I know for sure,
When I look into my mother’s eyes past the tears, and past the Soul,
I know I’ll find a heart of gold.
So, don’t go chasing rainbows after the storm,
Just look into your mother’s eyes, and you’ll find she has a heart of gold.
This is what I know for sure, mothers have a heart of gold.

LIFE’S HIGH HURDLES

Life’s high hurdles are not put in your way to make you stop.

Life’s high hurdles are put in your way to teach you to stop, take three steps then hop.

ALL WE NEED IS LOVE

Everything’s is going to be okay, if we can just make it through the day.
Because we all need love.

I don’t care if you’re rich or poor, the air is free and it’s all yours.
We all need love.

I don’t care where you’ve been, I don’t care how long it’s been.
Because we all still need love.

When the rain comes from up above, and sprinkles on the flowers that you love, you don’t think that’s love?
Because we all need love.

Don’t be discouraged, don’t be afraid, raise your hands up to the heavens and say – THANK YOU LORD.
Because we all need love.
