The light 04:23
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 06:08
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

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

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)

about

Henry Gaye’s long awaited album/CD has finally been released. After a year of intensive studio work, the desired and required quality has been achieved, thanks to the collaboration with Henry Gaye of highly qualified sound engineers, professional instrumentalists and voice trainers.

High quality top-of-the-range digital studio equipment were used in the recording, mixing and mastering of the album boasting twelve worthy tracks .The title track “Break These Chains” denotes liberty and the will to break free from life’s pressing situations which unfortunately imprison many people compelling them to look for solutions that mostly end up on a negative note or tragedy. A track worthy of note, “Adrenaline”, portrays Henry Gaye’s love for speed and super cars.

“The Groove” and “That Girl” among other tracks, were made for the dance floor and the listener can’t help but move to the beat when these tunes play. Henry Gaye, a great respecter of persons notwithstanding their race, origins, creed or denomination profoundly abhors racism, terrorism, social discrimination, Antisemitism and any crime aimed at racial origins and does not hide his dislike for such ills in his songs “Living like Dogs”, “One Dollar and a Kalashnikov” and “Sing Freedom”.

His Rich talent and lyrical capabilities quickly become evident as you listen to his songs, some or which were penned over ten years before the album was released. The seasoned performer’s song writing skills date back to when he was only ten years of age. Henry Gaye has been performing and recording for the past 20 years.
