THE LIGHT Henry Gaye
[yeah,yeah. Aha,aha. Yeah]
I hold my head up high
As I walk through the valley of death
I know my life is at the mercy of the angels of death
But my spirit has the strength defying every event that crossed my way [yeah]
And I grew stronger as the way got longer
Repeating to myself that life is yonder knowing very well
I was in Danger, Anger, Hunger [aigh!]
I crossed the river of hell flowing with fire
Killing my desire to climb from this mire
But glory halleluiah I saw the fire
Burning at the end of this tunnel of trial
And this pilgrimage keeps me going further.
There’s a light in the distance
Like a little lonely blue star
Just stretch your hands and reach out
Hope in your heart
Stumbling on step after step [tell’em]
Knowing you will make it [aha]
No stopping now just have faith
Keep moving on.
[ye, yeah, yeah]
Fire rained from the sky in the quest to burn my will to live
To make me change my course or fail the test that gives me life
I refuse. I refuse to give up
Live a faithless life of no respect
Falling into a state of mind I really don’t expect. I refuse
And my tears I tasted
As they flowed into my open mouth
All open wide to catch the breath of life that I deserve
To be free
Trials and tribulations spoiling concentration
Making all I take turn into nothing but elusion
Making me remember to begin some deep reflection.
There’s a light in the distance [aha, aha]
Like a little lonely blue star
Just stretch your hands and reach out
Hope in your heart [yeah keep on going brother]
Stumbling on step after step
Knowing you will make it
No stopping now just have faith
Keep moving on.
[aha, aha, yeah, so, that’s how to do it baby]
Could be a dream as it seems yeah
But I gotta keep myself awake
Never betraying any ambition I trust myself to attain
I met the gypsy woman
Who tried to interpret my dream in vain?
But ended up in tears of joy oh she was almost insane reading my future
It was the very first time she heard a dream of that nature
Poor creature, old teacher, oh bless her
I watched the lines on her forehead
As she tried to tell me what she saw
I didn’t realize she wanted me to take her hands
Till she said it almost in a whisper
There’s a light in the distance
Like a little lonely blue star
Just stretch your hands and reach out
Hope in your heart
Stumbling on step after step
Knowing you will make it
No stopping now just have faith
Keep moving on.
[just have faith, just have faith,
Just, just, just have faith
Just have faith, faith, faith have faith
Just have faith, faith, faith, faith]
There’s a light in the distance
Like a little lonely blue star
Just stretch your hands and reach out
Hope in your heart
Stumbling on step after step
Knowing you will make it
No stopping now just have faith
Keep moving on.

CALLING MY BRAIN-Henry Gaye
It’s been a long time since I took you out on a date
Will be nice to go out and celebrate till it’s late
The night is young, the day was hard and long
Let’s freshen up, no need to hurry up
Let’s get it on slow and easy, let’s get it on
Let’s whirl around, till we’re dizzy let’s whirl around
The night life is calling my brain
It pours over me like the rain
And washes away all the strain
Tonight on the city’s streets a fire’s burning
We’ll dance till the morning light there’s no returning
The night life has just began all wheels are churning
The night life is calling my brain
It pours over me like the rain
And washes away all the strain
Neon lights playing with the shadows of the early morning
Lonely streets sounding with the music from the underground
Hand in hand walking in the middle of the lonely street
Ohhh, Ohhhh!
The night life is calling my brain
It pours over me like the rain
And washes away all the strain

SING FREEDOM Henry Gaye
I have a, I have a dream
I have a, have a dream
I have a dream that every man and woman has the honour to be free
Together we live for peace and happiness you see
Our dream materialising growing like a tree
Free from fear and backwardness untouched by no decree
Believing in togetherness come hold hands with me
Let us show the world that faith is our only key
No authority will have the chance to hear our plea
Sailing on and on our ship will cross the mighty sea
When we reach the other side we make the sign of ‘V’
Our voices sounding loud and clear to show our glee
When they ask “who has a dream?” We shout together we!
One for all and all for one this is our only fee
Helping one another always busy like a bee
Loving one another knowing right from wrong you see
This is what we must believe together we agree
I have a, I have a, I have a dream
Freedom sing, freedom
Free at last, yeah, hey, hey, hey
I have a, I have a, I have a dream
Together the truth and justice equal rights we seek
Protecting the frail, defenceless, homeless and the meek
Bringing forth the rights of all the people as we speak
God is our defender his protection we beseech
Twenty thousand strong we cross two rivers and a creek
Moving on and on towards the high and mighty peak
Together we stand divided we become so weak
Put your hold and hope and faith so it will never leak
With no unity we’re like a bird without a beak
Victory is impossible the future looks so bleak
Placing force behind the power we become like teak
Flaming on forever time cannot consume our weak
Together we stand we never break just like a stick
Victory unto victory strong and stronger we will kick
Never letting negativity destroy so quick
I have a, I have a
Freedom sing, freedom
Free at last, yeah, hey, hey, hey
Yo, yeah, yo, yo, aha
Yes we can, Oh we can
Sure we can, that’s why we will
Together we fight, Together we win
Together we grow and together we flow
No pain, No gain, No trying in vain
Freedom, that’s it

BURN Henry Gaye
Burn deep down
So deep down
Burn deep down
Burn
Girl I think I got a crush on you I love you
Wanna dance with you babe
Anytime I see you walk by it feels like
You belong to me
All the gold in the world
All the words on my mind can’t show
How I love you
Paris, California, L.A. Wait for you
So classy, exciting, so sexy, sweet
Burn deep down
So deep down
Burn deep down
Burn
Do you wanna ride my Bentley
My Mecerdes, my Aston Martin
Maserati, Ferrari, just name it
I’ll be right by your side
If diamonds are the girls’ best friends
Then you got many best friends to play with
All we gotta do is pop some champagne
Drink a toast to new found love girl
U’re toxic, bombastic, fantastic, eeeu!
Burn deep down
So deep down
Burn deep down
Burn
Your skin so smooth like silk to the touch
Oh baby, girl I feel you
In your eyes I see we’re a perfect match
Oh sugar, yes I do
Come chill out, come, come share my world with me
Girl I need you
It feels so good to have you
Girl am about to fall for you
Come closer, let me rub you, go deeper, orgasmic
Burn deep down
So deep down
Burn deep down
Burn

THE GROOVE Henry Gaye
We got the groove
We got the groove
We got the groove nigga
Come on help me tell ‘em
Day after day, day after day, day after day
We play this groove
Listen, now listen let me tell you
People in the house feeling good
‘Cause they know what is right
And they doing what they can just to get it
Who said we don’t know what’s right?!
This is the groove, hitting the roof, we playing on
East side, west side, in they flock
Just to hear us tell ‘em the story
We got a lot to do nigga
Don’t just hand around wasting the time
We got money to make
Smiling all the way to the bank
Realising what we got
We went ahead making it hot
You wanna make something of this?
Let’s meet outside if you hate your hide
You ain’t seen nothing yet
For real!
CHORUS
We used to walk the streets alone
With nothing in our hands
Dreaming, dreaming of tomorrow
This is the groove that brought in the dough
Now we cruising in whichever ride we want
We made money, with this groove
Baby hol’ me tight leave the worst for the best
Jugglin’ with this life, hustlin’ in this life
We proved ourselves we still around till the end
Money, honey, flowing all around like we want it to be
Taking it easy even when we’re busy
Making sparks fly till we make you dizzy
See, this is our only satisfaction
And, it’s the way we live no explanation
We got money we got power and courage

BREAK THESE CHAINS – Henry Gaye
Someone tell me how to find my own way
When I can’t even see
Feels like my eyes have been shut like a door
With no lock or a key
So many times I tried to break free but fell right back
Feeling weak from so much pain
I feel my hands behind me held fast by chains of sorrow
To free myself I tried in vain
Break these chains
Help me please
Set me free
Let me breath
Do you hear me as I call out to you?
Do you hear my desperate cry?
Sometimes I feel no one hears me at all
Lose my voice the more I try
Eyes open wide at night tormented wretched life
Crown of thorns leave my head
Where will I find the courage to ask someone for mercy
From this fear and what I dread
Break these chains
Help me please
Set me free
Let me breath
Wall of stone I break you down
Prison cage becomes my crown
Suicide wish is like the sun
Little birds and butterflies
I see a rainbow
Look at the colors oh
See no need to go down
I raise my voice and shout
Break these chains
Help me please
Set me free
Let me breath

All the homies in the house wanna get a grab
But girls wanna have some fun all right
Ain’t here to stare, am here to make love

Who’s that girl? What’s your name girl?
Wanna feel me inside you tonight
CHORUS
Hey ho, hey ho, hey ho, hey yo yo!

All night long, sweat on the dance floor
Come on, come on baby shake that booty
Lemme tame you girl, lemme fill you up
Am curious to know what’s down there

ADRENALINE – Henry Gaye
I love this car
I wanna drive it to the maximum
Full speed ahead, Go! Go! Go!
While I live, I wanna take it to the highest reach
Adrenaline, Go! Go! Go!
I need some speed, I need some power
I need to feel the mighty shower
Twenty inch wheels, burning rubber
Three hundred kilometers every hour
Exhaust pipes, decibels
The torque of accelerative tuning power
Nitrous oxide, supercharger
Flashing asphalt inches high
I love this car
I wanna drive it to the maximum
Full speed ahead, Go! Go! Go!
While I live, I wanna take it to the highest reach
Adrenaline, Go! Go! Go!
Wow! Wow! Wow! I feel so good
Six hundred horsepower under my hood
Piston dance, direct injection
As the pedal hits the floor
The needles sweep, across the dial
V12 growling every mile
Bullet speed, flashing past
Oh my god, I love this sound
I love this car
I wanna drive it to the maximum
Full speed ahead, Go! Go! Go!
While I live, I wanna take it to the highest reach
Adrenaline, Go! Go! Go!
[drums and guitar]
I love this car
I wanna drive it to the maximum
Full speed ahead, Go! Go! Go!
While I live, I wanna take it to the highest reach
Adrenaline, Go! Go! Go!

LIVING LIKE DOGS /Henry Gaye
Don’t give a damn what you say
What u’re preaching is wrong
Do we have to carry guns and knives?
Only to show that we care for our lives
Before you stop?
Do we have to raise the banner of hate?
Misbehaving just like you before you know it’s too late
Do we have to prowl the whole city’s streets?
With guns in our hands shooting you down.
Do we have to, do we have to
Do we have to, do we, do we?
Living like dogs, you living like
Living like dogs, you living like
Living like dogs, you living like
Living like dogs
Raus aus meiner Welt!
U’re fast to give blows but can’t take blows
U’re living in a glass house and throwing stones
You call others inferior ‘because you sick in the brain
And you mad at yourself ‘because your life is down the drain
Do we have to let you know?
We will never bow low
Do we have to let you know?
You can run but can’t hide
(Chorus + interlude)
U’re guilty, u’re guilty, u’re guilty as charged, u’re guilty
Am your judge, your jury, executioner
Making you tighten the noose around your own silly neck
Your hate, your rage, your senseless crusade
Will not succeed, we’re stronger indeed
(Chorus)
If we live like you we become like dogs
So we live like men and gods we become
As you make the going tough, the tougher we become
No matter what you do we stand our ground?
With hate in your heart you lost the fight
And we laugh at you as you rant and rave
(Chorus)

I’M GOING CRAZY Henry Gaye
It feels so lonely and so quite
‘Cause you’re not here with me and am all alone
Reading those letters you wrote
Over a hundred times think am going mad
Thoughts of you crowding my mind
Even so fare away I can feel your touch
I’m going crazy, I’m going crazy
I’m going crazy, I’m going crazy
Crazy, Going crazy, going crazy
I’m going crazy
Babe I wanna let you know
What you brought into my life
Nothing ever seen before
Your love so pure
Way you come on is so fine
With class and style
Girl am proud of what you do
Never ever felt so love
You’re a princess with a crown
Tattoo your name over my skin
Red roses at your feet
You’re the lady of my heart
Girl I wanna treat you fine
Have no doubt am into you
So deep into you that nothing matters anymore
Your name on my lips
Every hour of the day
Every minute of the night
Everything I do your perfume’s always on my mind
In the air, in my lungs
You’re a blessing from above girl
I’m going crazy, I’m going crazy
I’m going crazy, I’m going crazy
Crazy, Going crazy, going crazy
I’m going crazy
Yeah! Heh! Give me some more sugar baby
Walking along this lonely road
Can’t help but think about your warm embrace
The happy times we used to have
Still linger on my mind babe I need you
If you can do this to me
Then let my heart be yours forever more
[CHORUS] 3X

THE WHOLE WORLD IN MY HANDS Henry Gaye / Obie Philpot
King for a day, from grass to grace
Don’t have a say, must keep the pace
Life’s just a haze, walk through the maze
I got the whole world in my hands
I got the whole world, in my hands
I got the whole wide world, in my hands
I got the whole world, in my hands
I got the whole world in my hands
Let’s run the race, start from the base
Open a page, cool down your rage
Life’s just a stage, I earn my wage
I got the whole world in my hands
I got the whole world, in my hands
I got the whole wide world, in my hands
I got the whole world, in my hands
I got the whole world in my hands
It goes the way you want it to
Believe it or not I said
Things go the way you want them to
La laaa la la la la la la la laa la la la la
I’ll grow my wings and fly away
Oh oh oh ohhh oh oh oh oh
[Guitar]
Why do you sob, come join the mob
I know my job, don’t try to rob
Am not a snob, this is my club
I got the whole world in my hands
Get up make a move, Time waits for no man
Life’s what you make it, believe in yourself
You got no limits, you can do all things
Whole world in my hands
[Guitar]
I got the whole world, in my hands
I got the whole wide world, in my hands
I got the whole world, in my hands
I got the whole world in my hands
