1. _ Melting Pot
Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty-bit of red indian boy..
Curly, black and kinky
Oriental sexy
If you lump it all together
Well, you've got a recipe for a get-along scene
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true
You know, you know..
What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough to take the world and all it's got
Keep it stiring for a hundred years or more
Turning out coffee-colored people by the score
Rappers in the fires
Bishops and the gurus
We had the Beatles and the Sun-Gods
a long time ago (it's true)
But then it really didn't matter
What religion you choose
No no no
Mick and Lady Faithful
and everyone who's graceful
You know the living could be tasteful
Why don't we all get together in a lovin' machine
I'd better call up the Queen
It's only fair that she know
You know, you know..

2. _ Strong Enough
Strong enough for two
Love see us through
Because of you
I know we're strong enough
Love see us through
Through and through
This love is strong enough for two
I believe in all that love can bring
Ha, I can see it's meant to be
And we |
3. _ Ben
Ben, the two of us need look no moe
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be along
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's one thing you should know
You got a place to go
I used to say 'I' and 'Me'
Now it's 'Us:, Now it's 'We'
(Repeat)
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben...

4. _ Paradise
It's not often that you find someone
Who can fulfill all your dreams inside
Like an angel from above
She was the one for me, believe
But it doesn't wither like a flower in snow
I always wanted you to know
We're going to build a bridge
Between our hearts
Going to cross the river of love
Into paradise, paradise
Going to walk up the road, hand in hand
To the castle in the sky
Where we're going to live
Going to live, yeah
And when she opens up her eyes
It's like a perfect sunrise outside
I put my fingers through he hair
And it feels like silk to me
But it doesn't wither like a flower in snow
I always wanted you to know
CHORUS
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Don't you know
We're going to build a bridge
Between our hearts
Going to cross the river of love
Into paradise, paradise

5. _ Words
Smile, an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you wrong
Cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost it's glory
Lets start a brand new story
Now my love
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say...
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away
Talk, in everlasting words
And dedicate them all, to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me
You think that I don't even mean
a single word I say...
CHORUS, repeat
Da da da da da da da

You think that I don't even mean
a single word I say...

6. _ Picture of You
Didn't they say that I would make a mistake
Didn't they say you were gonna be trouble
People told me you were too much to take
I could see it, I didn't wanna know
I let you in and you let me down
You pushed me up and you turned my whole life around
I could feel that I had no where to go
I was alone, how was I too know that..
You'll be there, when I needed somebody
You'll be there, the only one who can help me
I had a picture of you in my mind
never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find
the friend that was there all along.
Who'd believe that after all we've been through
I'd be able to put my whole trust in you
Goes to show you can't forgive and forget
looking back, I have no regrets cause..
You will be there, when I needed somebody
You will be there, the only one to help me
CHORUS
You will be there, when I needed somebody
You will be there, the only one to help me

7. _ Give A Little
Give a little, take a little, pray a little
Give a little, you know you've got to
Take a little, just one more time
Pray a little, to make it happen
And I'd swear, I'd cross the road
But you'd avoid me
Please tell me, why?
It ain't fair, I'd call you up
But you won't answer
Just no reply
Too blind to see that ache inside
So have a heart, I'm begging you
Give a little, take a little, pray a little
Say you want to
Give a little, you know you've got to
Take a little, just one more time
Pray a little, to make it happen
Say you want me, girl
Somehow with every chance
I'll make you happy
You won't believe
Sing out loud with each and every
Waking moment
You'll fill my head
CHORUS
Say you want me, girl
And wait and see
Too blind to see that ache inside
So have a heart, I'm begging you
Say you want me

8. _ It's Time
Here at home
The thoughts racing through my crazy mind
Trying to figure out
If I'm loving you this one more time
And when I got the mail
It made me close the door just right behind
On a trail of clothes
Left lying here
Thrown across the floor now
Maybe it's the way this love
was meant to be
and maybe it's the only way
for you and me...
It's time, to say goodbye
It's time, oh please don't cry girl
It's time, two reasons why
It's time, I will never lie to you
You cast your spell
But the magic has been broken down
And I'm all packed up
With empty bottles lying all around
It's like a flickering flame
That casts a shadow on the brightest day
And it does it help to know
That I feel the same
And it's gone now
Maybe it's the way this love
was meant to be
and maybe it's the only way for you and me...
repeat CHORUS

9. _ A Different Beat
(Arrican voices)
Let's not forget this place
Let's not neglect the our race
Let unity become
Life on earth be one
So let me take your hand
We are but grains of sand
Born throught the winds of time
Given a special sign
So let's take a stand
and look around us now, people
So let's take a stand
and look around us now, people...
Eeyeah--oh, eayeh--oh, eayeh (and the world is turning)--oh, by--yah
To a different beat
Eayeh--oh, eayeh--oh, eayeh (and the world is turning)--oh, by yah
(to a different beat)
Humanity's lost face
Let's understand its grace
Each day one at a time
Each life including mine
So let's take a stand
and look around us now, people oh, people oh people!
CHORUS
I've seen the rain, fall in Africa
I've touched to snow of Alaska
(Oh tell me now...)
I've felt the mists of Niagara
Now I believe...
In you..
repeat CHORUS twice
How far we've come
and how far to go
rain does not fall
on one roof alone..(to a different beat)..

10. _ Isn't It A Wonder
It's the sign of the times, girl
Sad songs on the radio
It's the sign of the times, girl
As the leaves begin to go
But all these signs now,
showing on my face
Proving me wrong, taking it's place
And I pray to God
That there's more that we can do, yeah
And I pray to God
That there's more that we can show
More that we can do, yeah
Isn't It a Wonder
as a newborn baby cries
And isn't it a wonder
with the sweetness in my eyes
and isn't it a wonder
at the crossroads of my life
Isn't it a wonder?
Isn't it a wonder, to me?
It's the way of the world when,
Wrong takes hold of right
It's the way of the world
In which we've all lost sight
But isn't this world
Too simple to be true?
Holding on to memories of you
And I pray to God
That there's more that we can do, yeah
And I pray to God
That there's more that we can show
More that we can do, yeah
CHORUS
That I can see, a change in me
But I won't look back
Cos that's behind me
And after all,
Strong words are spoken
My heart will never be, never be
Never be broken...
CHORUS
That I can see, a change in me
But I won't look back
Cos that's behind me
And after all
Strong words are spoken
My heart will never be, never be
Never be broken...

11. _ Mystical Experience
Looking for you, lost in my emptiness
When the night makes me weary, cold and lonely
Looking for ecstasy to make me live again
A supernatural feeling when you hold me
Every time you're here beside me
There is thunder, there is lightning
I feel the earth move and it's a different story
All the power, the heaven and the glory
It's almost like a mystical experience
To feel I'm born again when you come near me
To reach the stars above me the minute that you love me
Oh, it's like a mystical experience
Almost like a mystical experience
To rise with every step as you come near me
And when I'm closer to you, your kisses halleluyah
Take me to a mystical experience
Won't you please hurry back now that I need you so
To drive away all my sorrow and to guide me
Bring the sound of your happiness into my loneliness
To exorcise all the demons that live inside of me
Life without you's like a stranger
Full of shadows, full of danger
And when you're with me the world is full of passion
And when you touch me a magical reaction

12. _ Games of Love
Many years ago now
in the Garden of Love
A temptation that was watched from above
I'll be your Adam, if you'll be my Eve
So come show me that you
will not deceive
That love, just a crazy feeling
Deep and hidden meaning, it's true
And love, takes some understanding
So don't you go and break all the rules
We're talking A-B-C
I'm singing do-re-mi
I'll teach you endlessly
Games of Love
We're counting 1-2-3
I'm writing 'U 4 Me'
I'll teach you endlessly
Games of Love
Listen to me now girl
'Cos you've known all along
It's a game of love so don't play it long
I'll be your Romeo and you Juliet
Just read the book and you won't forget
That love, just a crazy feeling
Deep and hidden meaning, it's true
And love, takes some understanding
So don't you go and break all the rules
repeat CHORUS

13. _ Heaven Knows
Tears run dry on a young man's face
Feel the glow of a warm embrace
Been on a boat to the
edge of somewhere
Searched for you almost everywhere
No more hills left for me to bear
Cause now I'm almost there
But baby loves' growing much stronger
From the day that you said
you were gonna be mine
From the way I was lead into your mind
Everything comes to those who wait
Like a winter for spring
And the beauty it brings
And everyone searches
For the perfect one
As Heaven Knows
As Heaven Knows
If you believe, like you know that I do
You will see I'm the one for you
Never forget when I take your hand
At last, I'm here, can't you understand
So bring on the night and I'll make it right
Bring a dull day and I'll make it bright
Cause now we're almost there
But baby loves' growing much stronger
From the day that you said you were
gonna be mine
From the day I was lead into your mind
Maybe love's making me stronger
From the day that you said you were
gonna be mine
From the day I was lead into your mind

14. _ She Moves Through The Fair
My young love said to me
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind
Then she stepped away from me
And this she did say
'It will not be long love,
till our wedding day'.
She stepped away from me
and she moved through the fair
and fondly I watched her
Moved here and move there
Then she made her way homeward
with one star awake
As the swan in the evening
moves over the lake
I dreamt it last night
That my dead love came in
So softly she moved
That her feet made no din
Then she came close beside me
And this she did say
'It will not be long love,
till our wedding day'.

15. _ Crying In The Night
Alone just sitting there
Thinking of you till it hurts
You're young, so innocent
Without a care in the world
You're there but not visible
My expectations become
But do you think it's right?
And do you think it's right?
Crying in the night
For crying in the night
(ooh in the night)
My road was different
There's so much that you have to learn
A little hand in mine
And all the smiles and laughter is fine
Wherever I'll be, land or sea
I will care for you
CHORUS
Each day provides it's own gifts
Time brings all to pass
Writing comes more easily
When you've got something to say
You're young and beautiful
Have no enemy but time
In time, take time
When time does last
For time is no time
When time is passed

16. _ Don't Stop Looking For Love
Been so long since I found someone
You came as some surprise
But I knew you were meant for me
When I looked into your eyes
So beautiful and strong
Boy where did you come from
As life passed me by
You fell from the sky
and I could hear you say
Don't stop looking for love
It can be found
In the strangest places
Just when you've given up
Along comes a miracle
That turns your life around
So don't stop, looking for love
Walking around with my head hanging
down, I felt so all alone
And your love seemd miles away
I was a heart without a home
A woman in the rain
You took the clouds away
Now bright as the sun
Our love has begun
And I could hear you say...
CHORUS
Suddenly my dream had
come and rescued me
I can't believe I finally reached the day
Now I can say...

17. _ Melting Pot--european Version
Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty-bit of red indian boy..
Curly, black and kinky
Oriental sexy
If you lump it all together
Well, you've got a recipe for a get-along scene
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true
You know, you know..
What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough to take the world and all it's got
Keep it stiring for a hundred years or more
Turning out coffee-colored people by the score
Rappers in the fires
Bishops and the gurus
We had the beatles and the sun-gods
A long time ago (it's true)
But then it really didn't matter
What religion you choose
No no no
Mick and lady faithful
And everyone who's graceful
You know the living could be tasteful
Why don't we all get together in a lovin' machine
I'd better call up the queen
It's only fair that she know
You know, you know..
Chorus x 2 (to fade)
