I’m stuck on your heart, baby
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead

I call you when I need you
When my heart’s on fire
You come to me, come to me
Wild and wired

When you come to me
Give me everything I need

Give me a lifetime of promises
And a world of dreams
Speak the language of love
Like you know what it means

And it can’t be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, baby

You’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead

In your heart I see the start
Of every night and every day
In your eyes I get lost
I get washed away

Just as long as I’m here in your arms
I could be in no better place

You’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead

Each time you leave me I start losing control
You’re walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I’m alone
Oh, baby, don’t let go!

You’re the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead

You’re the best

You’re the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart, baby
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead

You’re the best
You’re better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met

Oh, you’re the best

The more I understand about the human race
The less I comprehend about our purpose and place
And maybe if there was a clearer line
The curiosity would satisfy

Time based prophecies that kept me from living
In the moment I am struggling
To trust the divinity of all the guides
And what the hell they have planned for us

I cry for the creatures who get left behind
But everything will change in a blink of an eye
And if you wish to survive
You will find the guide inside

Nahko & the Medecine for the people

Lend your ears, lend your hands
Lend your movement, anything you can
Come to teach, come to be taught
Come in the likeness in the image of God
Cause, you can be like that
With all that humbleness, and all that respect

All of the power invested in me
Be it hard to love my enemies
All of the black bags over the heads of the dead and dying

The more I understand about the human race
The less I comprehend about our purpose and place
And maybe if there was a clearer line
The curiosity would satisfy

Time based prophecies that kept me from living
In the moment I am struggling
To trust the divinity of all the guides
And what the hell they have planned for us

I cry for the creatures who get left behind
But everything will change in a blink of an eye
And if you wish to survive
You will find the guide inside

I go back and forth every single day
The clarity it comes to me in a choppy way
As the feelings and the places
And the seasons change
The galaxies remain

Energy fields pullin’ up out of this space
The angels that are a couple to the spiritual waste
The hate that gets me distant from my spiritual pace
Ten fold the manna when the planets are in place, in polar alignment
We’re on assignment
Bodies on consignment
Return them to the circus

And what is the purpose?
What is the purpose and would you believe it?
Would you believe it
If you knew what you were for
And how you became so informed?

Bodies of info performing such miracles
I am a miracle made up of particles
And in this existence
I’ll stay persistent
And I’ll make a difference
And I will have lived it

Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua
Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana
Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua
Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana

Each day that I wake
I will praise, I will praise
Each day that I wake
I give thanks, I give thanks
Each day that I wake
I will praise, I will praise
Each day that I wake
I give thanks, I give thanks

And the day that I don’t wake up
And transcend the holy make-up
I am capable, I am powerful
And the day that I don’t wake up
And transcend the holy makeup
I am on my way to a different place

I’m not a leader, just a creature
Seeking the features of a teacher
Whether you follow or whether you lead
All mysterious ways of nature and I’m into it
Changing management

And there are various ways to conquer this monotonous metropolis
My stubbornness is bottomless
My fearlessness is talking shit
And I’m wide awake and I’m taking names

I am not a leader, just a creature
Seeking the features of a teacher
Whether you follow or whether you lead
All mysterious ways of nature and I’m into it
I’m into it
Changing management

And there are various ways to conquer this monotonous metropolis
My stubbornness is bottomless
My fearlessness is talking shit
And I am wide awake
And I’m taking names

And there are various ways to conquer this monotonous metropolis
My stubbornness is bottomless
My fearlessness is talking shit
And I’m wide awake and I’m taking names

Do you speak to me like you speak to God?
All of the love and understanding between the father and the son?
Do you believe in the perfectness of where you are?
These are my people, these are my children
This is the land that I would fight for

My solidarity is telling me to patiently
Be moving the musical medicine around the planet in a hurry
Cuz there’s no time to wait
I gotta to wake up the people, time to stand up and say
We know what we are for
And how we became so informed
Bodies of info, performing such miracles
I am a miracle, made up of particles
And in this existence
I’ll stay persistent
And I’ll make a difference
And I will have lived it

And the day that I don’t wake up
And transcend the holy make-up
I am capable, Hm that’s right
I am powerful
And the day that I don’t wake up and transcend the holy make-up
I am on my way to a different place

She’s got her ticket, I think she gonna use it
I think she goin’ to fly away
No one should try and stop her, persuade her with their power
She says that her mind is made —up

Why not leave why not, go away
Too much hatred, corruption and greed
Give your life, and invariably they leave you with nothing

Young girl ain’t got no chances
No roots to keep her strong
She’s shed all pretences
That someday she’ll belong
Some folks call her a runaway
A failure in the race
But she knows where her ticket takes her
She will find her place in the sun

Keb’Mo’ – Jazz San Javier concert

Ain’t got no money
No where to sleep
No friend no family
No bread no meat
No bread no meat
No friend no family
No bread, no bread no meat
I ain’t got no reason
Ain’t got no rhyme
Ain’t gettin’ no younger
And I’m runnin’ outta time
Runnin’ outta time
Ain’t gettin’ no younger
And I’m runnin’ outta time
Oh yes I am

But I’m still climbing up the mountain side
Don’t count me out
Long as I got my heart and soul
I got everything
I got everything I need

Everything I need
Ain’t got no window
Ain’t got no door
But I can feel the sun shining
Where it’s never shined before
Never shined before
Feel the sun shining where it’s never shined before

But I’m still climbing up the mountain side
Can’t count me out
Long as I got my heart and soul
I got everything
I got everything I need
Everything I need
Ain’t got no picture
Ain’t got no wall
Ain’t got nobody
Hear me when I call
Hear me when I call
Ain’t got nobody
Hear me when I call

“Peace in the Valley” is a 1937 song written by Thomas A. Dorsey, originally for Mahalia Jackson. The song became a hit in 1951 for Red Foley and the Sunshine Boys, reaching number seven on the Country & Western Best Seller chart. It was among the first gospel recordings to sell one million copies. Foley’s version was a 2006 entry into the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry. In 1950, it was one of the first songs recorded by a young Sam Cooke, during his tenure as lead singer of the Soul Stirrers. After the success of Red Foley’s interpretation, Jo Stafford recorded the song for her 1954 gospel album Garden of Prayer. The song achieved enormous celebrity during Elvis Presley’s third and final appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show on January 6 of 1957. Before an audience estimated at 54.6 million viewers, Presley closed the show by dedicating the song to the 250,000 refugees fleeing Hungary after the 24 and 31 October 1956 double-invasion of that country by the Soviet Union. Because he also requested that immediate aid be sent to lessen their plight, the appeal in turn yielded contributions amounting to US$6 million, or the equivalent of US$49.5 million in today’s dollars. Over the next 11 months, the International Red Cross in Geneva, with the help of the US Air Force, organized the distribution of both perishables and non-perishables purchased with the above-mentioned funds (Swiss Francs 26.2 million, at the then 4.31 CHFR-US$ exchange) to the refugees in both Austria and England where they settled for life. On October 15, 1957, Presley’s first Christmas album, containing a master studio recording of the song, was released, topping the Billboard Charts for 4 weeks and selling in excess of three million copies, as certified by the RIAA on 15 July of 1999. Because of these extraordinary developments, István Tarlós, the Mayor of the city of Budapest, in 2011 and as a gesture of belated gratitude, named a park after him, as well as making him an honorary citizen.

Elvis Presley – Peace in the Valley

Oh well I’m tired and so weary but I must go along
Till my Lord comes and calls me calls me away oh yes
Oh well the morning’s so bright and the lamb is the light
And the night night is as black as the sea oh yes
There will be peace peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me oh Lord I pray
There’ll be no sadness no sorrow no troubles I’ll see
There will be peace peace in the valley for me

Well the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lay down down by the lamb oh yes
And the beast from the wild will be lead by little child
And I’ll be changed changed from this creature that I am oh yes
There will be peace

Grandma loved a sailor
Who sailed the frozen sea
Grandpa was that whaler
And he took me on his knee
He said, “Son, I’m going crazy
From living on the land
Got to find my shipmates
And walk on foreign sands”

This old man was graceful
With silver in his smile
He smoked a briar pipe and
He walked four country miles
Singing songs of shady sisters
And old time liberty
Songs of love and songs of death
And songs to set men free
Oh! Eh!

The Doors – Land Ho!

I’ve got three ships and sixty men
A course for ports unread
I’ll stand at mast, let north winds blow
‘Til half of us are dead
Land ho!

Well if I get my hands on a dollar bill
Gonna buy a bottle and drink my fill
If I get my hands on a number five
Gonna skin that little girl alive
If I get my hands on a number two
Come back home and marry you
Marry you
Marry you alright

Eh, land ho!
Eh, land ho!

Well if I get back home and I feel all right
You know babe I’m gonna love you tonight
Love you ‘night, love you ‘night
