THe Unification of London and France
She dreams of London whilst we dwell here in France
Paris the cruel spectacle as it is as it were
Darling would you cross the far enchanted sea
That I might build a kingdom with thee
Dawn of day
Day now Past
She leads London
Whilst I perish away in France

Vessel
Crazy child with ebony eyes
Soul filled with laughter and butterflies
Hair as raven as night itself
Body of purity and inner wealth
I know you, don’t you know I?
Two vessels a drift on the ocean of life
Shall we cast our anchors to port a shore
Or breathe deep the salt forever more?

Please Mr. Sandbar
How can I explain
well maybe I cant
mere words can't actualize the feelings I have
when I see a rainbow or
grassy dew
feelings of grandeur and I think of you
maybe a lifetime is only but a day
spent half in the misery of a bitter rain
or maybe it's corny of just
laughter on the brain
whenever I realize how much people change
we all get older
but we dont get wiser
some of use become sadder
others become misers
but one thing remains the same
please Mr. Sandbar take it away
For that sweet memory in June of '42
please Mr. Sandbar show me how to softshoe again
For that sweet girl I met in June of '42

Open Your Arms
Sitting under the money tree
look for the fruits of charity
best to pick them fast for they too far gone
they grow rotten to the core on the greedy man's farm
open your moth the words don't come out
even though the thoughts in your head seem to flow
are you so afraid what everybody thinks
are you so afraid to show what you know
to get along, with your sister your brother
get along, we all the same under this shell
brother to brother and sister to sister
and people are people and...
open your arms
monkey do monkey see
why you want to upset me
monkey go monkey say
but let me live my life today

All Things To All People
all people have worries
worries that wake them
worries about things yet to come
worries about worries are what worry some
i look out my eye
and behold I see people
big bold beautiful people
i see brown people
gold people
yellow people
red people
orange people
purple people
pink people
white people
yet I don’t see colored people
i see a people as one
a people capable
a people that should be grateful
grateful for the blessings that we can all share as people

Favorite Girl
Funny how things don’t seem to ever change
Now that I see you I’m transformed I am not the same
I know all the parts of you cause you’re my favorite girl
Because of everything you do you’re my favorite girl
Good things come and good things go
we only have today Tomorrow who knows
You’re my favorite you’re my favorite girl
I've tried so hard to move forward
But I keep on moving back
I’m stuck in some odd time warp
On an elusive track
Your a sacred pearl cause your my favorite girl
There’ no sanctuary in this world but your my favorite girl
People come and people go
we only have today Tomorrow who knows
You’re my favorite you’re my favorite girl
