Album Name: Past to Present (1990)
Love Has The Power
There is too much hatred, there is too much starvation, too much inhumanity
Some people get the kicks out of throwing bricks at me
No real reason, just jealousy
Angry words and bad attitudes is gonna get you nowhere
Watching you watching me, it's alright, 'cos I will make it right
Chorus:
Love has the power, it's strong as a tower you can lean on
Love is a fire, a burning desire, it's so warm (oh)
Some believe in the almighty dollar, some don't believe in nothing at all
There's a power that's within you, it will never never ever let you down
I'm the way, I'm the key to liberty and unity, are you listening
Chorus
One hundred million voices singing (can you hear the voices singing)
No weak, no strong, no right, no wrong - imagine (you gotta keep imagining)
Impossible, the sceptics say,wait and see there's gonna come a day
Chorus
Love has the power, it's strong as a tower you can lean on
Love has the power, it's strong as a tower you can lean on
There's no difference between black or white, the light of life
I can hear the children laughing
Men at war, stop your worries, give peace a chance, there's a new day dawning
Come together, come together, come together
(Wisdom is the mouth of peace, of innocence)
Out Of Love
Paint me a picture of two lovers, show me the lovers torn apart
You made me fall in love with you, the dance of lovers takes two
Somehow the music stopped, and so did our love
I tried to put the pieces together, and I got a grip on my life
They say there's one born every minute who has all for a lifetime
What good is a lifetime if I can't be with you
Chorus:
I just wanna hold you, just wanna touch you, just let me love you
When I see your face, my heart cries out for you
I guess that fools never learn how to fall out of love
I do admit I really miss you, there are some things time cannot change
And I would be a liar baby, if I told you I didn't care
'Cos it makes a difference, baby when you're not there
Chorus
I just wanna hold you, just wanna touch you, just let me love you
When I see your face, my heart, my heart goes crazy baby
It's what's calling your name
I just wanna hold you, just wanna touch you, I just wanna hold you
When I see your face, my heart cries out for you
I guess that fools never learn how to fall out of love
Can You Hear What I'm Saying
The world is precious, a gift to you and me
I suggest we treat her right, with love and dignity
Everybody's looking for some peace of mind
If you seek the truth then you will surely find
Everybody wants to have global peace
While the press of a button can shake the world to its knees
Chorus:
Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying
There are those who say might is right, I beg to disagree
I say we all unite and redirect our destiny
Everybody's looking for a quick solution
Our lungs are chocking from beathing air polution
I say put down your guns and stop the revolution
I say it's time we make a restitution, yes
Chorus - can you hear me now
Chorus repeats 2x
Can you hear me now, I am calling out to you
(Can you hear me calling out to you, can you hear me calling out to you)
There's so much starvation, so much say untruth
So much prejudice, there's so much liquidation - oh how long, how long
Can you hear what I'm saying
Africa, America, Eurasia, Latin Africa
Animal
I never felt like this with someone, I never knew I could feel this way at all
Predestination by appointment, storybook realities are coming true
I was scared, you look so helpless, the lust was dressed in good disguise
I took you on to meet my mother
Just like me, she fell straight in love with you
You took me to your own apartment, was it me or does the night do things to you
You read from Venus and Adonis, so honey how could I resist
C'mon baby we've got tonight, no one loses when two tigers fights
I lift you up, never let you down
I'll be the jester, babe, and you'll be the crown
We're instinctively impulsive, we're animals
A body like yours should be arrested, honey I should be locked up in a cage
We are flesh, we are carnal cut, oh we are human
Oh babe got these eyes we can't contend
Smoke alarm is going off again, I guess I'm gonna have to cool you down
Say come on baby, we've got tonight, no one loses when two tigers fight
You'll be fire, I'll be the ice, so come on baby melt me ooh so nice
Instinctively impulsive, we're animals
(Instrumental break)
Some girls may turn me up, but only you, baby, turn me on
When we touch it's so explosive, it seems my life's been leading to this
Say come on baby, we've got tonight, no one loses when two tigers fight
You'll be fire, I'll be the ice, so come on baby melt me ooh so nice
Is it rhythm, is it magic, we're animals
Ooh baby, we're animals
Love Has The Power
