I-Am

That’s the way of the world

Hearts of fire creates love desire
Take you high and higher to the world you belong
Hearts of fire creates love desire
High and higher to your place on the throne

We’ve come together on this special day
To sing our message loud and clear
Looking back we’ve touched on sorrowful days
Future pass, they disappear

You will find peace of mind
If you look way down in your heart and soul
Don’t hesitate ’cause the world seems cold
Stay young at heart ’cause you’re never (never, never, ..) old at heart

That’s the way of the world
Plant your flower and you grow a pearl
A child is born with a heart of gold
The way of the world makes his heart grow cold

We’re Living in Our Own Time

From the 1983 album Electric Universe.

I feel it in the night
I hear a whisper, a ray of light
A flash across the sky
Through the window in my eyes
A bolt of thunder
Exploding in my mind

Is it real, what I feel
It’s just like floating away
While the moon floods the room
I can hear music start to play
I see it on your face
Oh, what a difference lovin’ can make
Silence of the dark, words are falling
From my heart
It’s all around us
All thoughts are calling

Imagination is born when love’s alive
A spirit creating a place for you and I
Together let’s ride away to find the universe
And let our dreams we live our lives

We’re living in our own time
Love is the answer
We’re living in our own time
We found the answer

Now I’m so willing to discover
Believing forever touching each other
Nothing out there can stop us tonight
All that we’re feeling so right
You mean so much to me
I feel so wanted, but yet so free
The warmth of your embrace
I know time could not erase
Making it easy to go on loving you

Imagination when love’s alive
Woah woah woah you and I
Together let’s ride away the universe
And let our dreams we live our lives

We’re living in our own time
Love, Love is the answer
We’re living in our own time
We found the answer

You know you know you know we found
the answer
You know you know you know it

We’re living in our own time.

(Song from Earth, Wind, and Fire that most of the world has forgotten.
El Solitario was played in the movie Against All Odds and is the short instrumental version of this song.
El Solitario is a hauntingly instrumental version of this song is linked in video response. {Removed by WMG now no one will know how it sounds because it has and will not be played anywhere else unless you watch the movie.}

“September”

Do you remember the
21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya – say do you remember
Ba de ya – dancing in September
Ba de ya – never was a cloudy day

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Now December found the love that we shared in September.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the true love we share today

Ba de ya – say do you remember
Ba de ya – dancing in September
Ba de ya – never was a cloudy day

Ba de ya – say do you remember
Ba de ya – dancing in September
Ba de ya – golden dreams were shiny days

“Fantasy”

Every man has a place
In his heart there’s a space
And the world can’t erase his fantasies
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship, fantasize
All your dreams will come true right away

And we will live together
Until the twelfth of never
Our voices will ring forever, as one

Every thought is a dream
Rushing by in a stream
Bringing life to the kingdom of doing
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship, fantasize
All your dreams will come true miles away

Our voices will ring together
Until the twelfth of never
We all will live love forever, as one

Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life, a new degree
Bring your mind to everlasting liberty

As one, come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize, it’s your life now in review

And as you stay for the play
Fantasy has in store for you
A glowing light will see you through
It’s your day, shining day
All your dreams come true

As you glide in your stride
With the wind as you fly away
Give a smile from your lips and say
I’m free, yes I’m free, now I’m on my way

Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize, it’s your life now in review

Keep Your Head To The Sky

Master told me one day
I’d find peace in every way
But in search for the clue
Wrong things I was bound to do

Keep my head to the sky
For the clouds to tell me why
As I grew, and with strength
Master kept me as I repent
And he said

Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky

He gave me the will to be free
Purpose to live His reality
Hey, and I found myself never alone
Chances came to make me strong

To step right up and be a man
‘Cause you need faith to understand
So we’re saying for you to hear
Keep your head in faith’s atmosphere

Keep your head to the sky
So the clouds
Keep your head to the sky
So they can tell you why, Lord
Keep your head to the sky
Surely, the clouds are gonna tell you why

Gave me the will to be free
Purpose to live His reality
Ooo, And I found myself never alone
‘Cause chances came, they came to make me strong

Hey, to step right up and be a man
Ooo, you need faith to understand
So we’re just saying for you to hear
Keep your head in faith’s atmosphere

Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky
Don’t walk around with your head hung down
Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky
Surely, surely the clouds are gonna tell you why

Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky

Share the LOVE 😀
