How do you feel, if you don’t like your situation How do you know what adds your frustration I got a feeling things could be much better You got no feeling, life don’t get together Reach into your pocket, ’cause I got nothin for ya Give something to me, something that you cannot see good is bad, bad is nice; take some free advice from me If you want to feel it in your soul, reach on out and touch it Groove it while it’s happening Let the rhythm take control Groove it while it’s happening Let your body touch my soul Day to day, the righteous got no feeling Week to week, hour to hour, got no power, you can be so willing You are the freak, pull it down onto you It’s almost over, can’t get nothing for two I hope you’re willing, to let someone else come through We can get the party, if what you say is true I got the news, I got the shit; you got to come and dig with it If you want to feel it in your soul, reach on out and touch it Groove it while it’s happening Let the rhythm take control Groove it while it’s happening Let your body touch my soul

I thought I was alone, I couldn’t see in front of me You showed me a way I could be with family Only a fool could deny We have a vision and not a lie Holding hands, making love shoulder to shoulder, we live as one We’ve got Power Love Freedom Everyone We’ve got Power Love Freedom Understand Come on, come quick Get yourself into your trip Stand strong, be love Face it together, unite as one Fight the power, free the heart Someone next to you; it’s where you start Shame the feckless who will not see Take off the blinders; you will be free We’ve got Power Love Freedom Everyone We’ve got Power Love Freedom Understand

When I’m out, I look for things that please me. My flesh is tired but my spirit’s willing. You got to know I’m well past 22. That don’t mean I forgot just what to do. I got some love on my brain If you allow me to explain We’ve got to drink more champagne. I can’t party like I got no job no more. When I see you, I shake in every way You cause me trouble each and every day You move it round and round all over town When you push up I think I’m gonna drown. I got some love on my brain If you allow me to explain We’ve got to drink more champagne. I can’t party like I got no job no more.

Sing to me, sing to me, sing to me… Hello, my friend; Can you help my brother? Reach out to the helpless; Sing your song to me. Hello, my sister; What can I do for you? Time can pass so quickly; Sing your song to me. The noise of the world Just won’t stop coming. We have to stand for a day When everyone is truly free. Free to live our lives as was intended. To live as who we truly are. Sing your song to me. Don’t ignore what hurts your sister. Stop to lend a helping hand; Sing your song to me. I am my brother’s keeper When he needs someone to care Sing your song to me. I have to sing this song For all who won’t listen. I have a dream for all Who won’t truly see. The world is much a less a place without them. Whoever they may be. Sing your song to me. Sing to me, sing to me, sing to me…

Stand up for your conscience Stand up to your fears Pull up from the tide Standing for your pride Don’t need what I ain’t got And I won’t take it from you But I’m gonna get what they got Then I’m gonna give it to you. Every day, in every way It is our duty to fight for freedom Do not let them take your pride It is our duty to fight and win There is no place you can hide It is our duty to love each other You may think it’s an impossibility Nothing to lose but our chains. When is enough, enough? When is too much, too much? What can a dollar buy? How can a dollar lie? Celebrate your freedom; Don’t give it away. When they say they want it; You gotta fight them on that day. Every day, in every way It is our duty to fight for freedom Do not let them take your pride It is our duty to fight and win There is no place you can hide It is our duty to love each other You may think it’s an impossibility Nothing to lose but our chains.

Every time I understand the words you're speaking Til I see another sign it's broken, it's moving. Breathing space, face to face You and I we get so high To me life can be very true Me and you Won't you just... Stay with me until we're done, The night time is over. Can't you just stay with me until we're done, The nighttime is over. Morning is here I look, I see. It's so special having you here It's peaceful. You're my heart; I can tell It's real; it's hope. I can smile I can smile to myself I'm grateful; I'm free Won't you just... Stay with me until we're done, The night time is over. Can't you just stay with me until we're done, The nighttime is over.

Something is coming 'round the corner Can you feel it? It's coming without warning I get it: things are tough all over When it gets here, do you run for cover? Love is everywhere. Love is everywhere Just how do I know? I can see it in you Baby, you make it grow Stop living your lives in fear Open your heart to the people who are near Life's a gift; don't you know that much is true? Give it away, and it all comes back to you Can you feel it? Love is everywhere Just how do I know? I can see it in you Baby, you make it grow

People can you tell me if you like your funk real We can see you out movin' and know just how you feel There's no shame to my game when when I start to funk with you when you touch your body I can start to funk for two I can see your light flash on the big dance floor You got a real thing and I want to see some more We gonna funk, we gonna funk, we gonna funk it all night long When the bass starts to thumpin we can get into your song Star funk, we're gonna funk up to the sky It feels so real 'cause we're funkin' up so high Star funk, it's just plain to see We're funking in the air and we are funkin' to be free People can I tell you how I start to feel good When I see you out dancin and groovin like you should Don't sit down when the bass gets in the groove Get off your butt into the stuff that can make your body move Grind it, move it, sock it to it, have yourself some fun Come on over baby cause it ain't no fun with one We gonna groove, we gonna groove, we gonna groove it all night long When the bass starts to thumpin' we can get into your song
