Earth Wind And Fire Faces Lyrics
1.Let Me Talk

Maurice white, verdine white, larry dunn, al mckay, ralph
johnson & philip bailey

Fifty million voices mumbling from the street
Talking about the 80's and who it will mistreat
Now, joseph worken hardy, checkin' out the jive
Glancing at his pocketbook, inflation is alive

I stand tall, let me talk
I stand tall, let me talk

Miss sophisticated, your nose up in the air
Trying to find excitement, in the labels that you wear
Now, i may disappoint you, with the thins i say
But deep inside, a message burns withing me everyday

I stand tall, let me talk
I stand tall, let me talk

We're all the same, with different names
Will you play your role, just as you're told

Let me talk, let me talk, let me talk, let me talk

Won't you come on down, put your feet on the ground
Get in touch with you, let your love come thru

World automotives chase the arab wheel
Partnerships on nuclear, trying to make a deal
Where does it all lead to
I'm sure the question flows,
Thru many minds around the world
I'm sure nobody knows

I stand tall, let me talk
I stand tall, let me talk

I stand tall, let me talk
I stand tall, let me talk


2.Turn It Into Something Good

Maurice white, james newton howard & valerie carter

Why, do you hang your head
And never, never satisfy the loneliness you tread
Spending your life, in the falling rain
Trying hard to drown the memories that's
Driving you insane

You can't hid forever just decide to make it better
Turn it into something good
Remember, you can choose, not to lose
Find your groove and be a winner
Wake up, take a step ahead
Wake up, to the rising sun
Wake up, life has just begun to shine

In you eyes, the somber blues
Reflects a place, from deep inside of knowing,
Not what to do
I'll be your rock, when you're about to fall
Together, we'll move on ahead and walk,
Right thru it all

You can't hide forever, just decide to make it better
Turn it into something good
Remember, you can choose, not to loose
Find your groove and be a winner
You can't hide forever, just decide to make it better
Wake up, take a steap ahead
Wake up, to the rising sun
Wake up, life has just begun to shine


3.Pride

Maurice white, verdine white, larry dunn, al mckay, philip
bailey & fred white

Mighty men have come and gone
But the pride lingers on
Heritage will claim every man
With desire to make a stand
Some say pride's for the strong
What's the use, holding on
We say pride's everyone who
Wants to come, touch the sun

While you pout, is your world
In doubt, it's all about
Life won't let you out of the scheme
Just believe in your dreams
Pressing on self esteem

Now participate, time for love
To motivate
Energies to say, brighter you, brighter day

Set your mind in view,
Of the real man in you
Time to check it out
Pride relieves all your doubt


4.You

Maurice white, david foster & brenda russel

She was naive, and never knew
Back against the world--her dreams came true
There is a mirror in her eyes,
All the world with cherry painted skies
I would be a fool, not to notice who,
Can make me want to give it all
Oh, and now, i'm a happy soul
That love has got a hold
And i know that love won't let me fall

You--light the way, you brighten up my day
You make me want to stay,
I guess you know that i'm in love with you
It's true, you changed my point of view,
And now i look at life, the way you do,
With a beauty shining thru

When i am true with my dreams
Life is so sincere, in what it means
I am truly hypnotized--with a love
That took me by surprise
I would be a fool, not to notice who,
Can make me want to give it all
Oh and now, love is so profound.
I need your love around to open yp,
This lonely heart

You--light the way, you brighten up my day
You make me want to stay,
I guess you know that i'm in love with you
It's true, you changed my point of view,
And now i look at life, the way you do,
With a beauty shining thru

You-light the way, you brighten up my day
You make me want to stay,
I guess you know that i'm in love with you
It's true, you changed my point of view,
You make it all seem right,
I'd love to share my life, with you


5.Sparkle

Maurice white, eddie delbarrio & philip bailey

On a golden sky, you my sparkle flying high
My vibration start to rhyme and it chimes
With loves direction
Now, i'm traveling my cares unraveling,
Flying high, just you and me
Feeling free along loves highway

Lover forever unfolds magical moments together
And the fire to ignite melodies tonight
Birds can only sing the song we write
Harmonies in tune that reflect the moon
Sparkle you're so rare and lovely in my sight

Just give me a sign, and be my valentine
Let the arrow full of light, pierce the nigght
With loves affection
Sharing blissfully making history
Fragrants of you loving smile
A little while will last forever

Lover forever unfolds magical moments together
And the fire to ignite melodies tonight
Birds can only sing the song we write
Harmonies in tune that reflect the moon
Sparkle you're so rare and lovely in my sight

You're my valentine
You create a rhyme all the birds can sing
Our song divine
Sparkle like a star, sparkling you are
Glistening in my heart
You light my sky

Love forever unfolds magical moments together
And the fire to ignite melodies tonight
Birds can only sing the song we write
Harmonies in tune that reflect the moon
Sparkle you're so rare and lovely in my sight


6.Back On The Road

Maurice white & al mckay

Time to get back on the road
Gonna leave these troubles behind
Time to carry the load
What my life is a true design
You won't reach me by phone
I'll be moving round between the line
Time to get back on the road
Gonna mend this heart of mine

Don't you cry, when i say goodbye
Baby, baby, carry on
Don't you cry, when i say goodbye
Cause baby, you're not alone

The love that we shared was grand,
But not enough to keep me still
I hope someday you understand
Music gives my heart, a thrill

Don't you cry, when i say goodbye
Baby, baby, carry on
Don't you cry, when i say goodbye
Cause, baby, you're not alone

Since the day that my life began
A band has been my true life plan
Time to get back on the road
Feel the music, take the stand
You are my true love,
Still there will be no one, to take your place
This feeling, i can't erase.
Got to move and have my space

Don't you cry, when i say goodbye
Baby, baby, carry on
Don't you cry, when i say goodbye
Cause, baby, you're not alone


7.Song In My Heart

Maurice white, garry glenn and brenda russell

I've gotta song in my heart
And a feeling just for you
So good that, we can't tear apart
A love that's positively true
Can't stop these feelings i got
Cause i've been trying to get thru
I've gotta song in my heart
And a feeling just for you

Oh, it's time that we show
Just what one means, to the other
Take my hand, and you'll know
We got a whole world to discover

Oh, i, i've gotta song in my heart
And a feeling just for you
I've gotta song in my heart
And feeling, feeling

Once in a lifetime you feel
This ringing in the air
Something delightful and real
Is something we can share
Now that we've started a spark,
There's light that's peeping thru
I've gotta song in my heart
And a feeling just for you

Smile, love will show
A wonderful blessing for believers
And what you're giving me, im giving right back
Right back to you, try giving up, planting a reason
For deceiving
Love, it gives a touch
And love is pleasing and receiving

Oh, i, i've gotta song in my heart
And a feeling just for you


8.You Went Away

Ross vanelli & philip bailey

How can you explain that we're apart
When all we've known is being together
Time had made our love a work of art
So sure we were, that nothing could change us
The dreams we thought tomorrow would bring us,
Were fading away

Oh you reassured hope and i believed
That never would our promise be broken
And now i question what is yet to be
When all is left of me is a token
Of dreams we use to build upon each day
But you wouldn't stay

You don't know the very best part of me
You don't know cause you went away
I can't believe you want no part of me
(ever) since you went away, there's
Nothing quite
The same in my life

I may be shaken by the night
But i know the truth will never mislead me
I have the love, i have my life
And even with your memories beside me
I know the strength inside me
Will guide me all of the way


9.And Love Goes On

Music:maurice white, david foster, verdine white & larry dunn
Lyrics:maurice white & brenda russel

I would be so willing to give you all i got
You're a special lady, forget me not
I could be so tender, for the likes of you
Let my heart surrender

And love goes on
On and on
Your heart beats strong
As love goes on

Everyday, i'm wishing for that day to come
Feeling superstitious hoping she's the one
One day i'm lonely, next with plenty smiles
Love i find amusing

And love goes on
On and on
Your heart beats strong
As love goes on

Oh, oh, oh, and if we can't work it out
You should know, without a doubt
I will always be the one you can turn to
A friend until the end, no matter where we've been
Sometimes you can't hold on
You got to give it space yea yea

And love goes on
On and on
Your heart beats strong
As love goes on

Baby we can work it out
Yes i really love you, and without a doubt
I can make you happy,
Plant good memory that will last forever

And love goes on
On and on
Your heart beats strong
As love goes on


10.Sailaway

Maurice white, eddie delbarrio, philip bailey & roxanne seeman

Come sailaway and touch love sweet love
Come sailaway fall in love with love
Ah, sailaway and touch love sweet love
Come sailaway fall in love with love

Love is like a parade, on a clear summer's day
Ride your heart and you may sailaway
Oh the wind as it blows, has the touch of a rose
And wherever it goes, sailaway

Come sailaway and touch love, sweet love
Come sailaway fall in love with love

Come let's sail on the wind as it blows
To a place evermore in our hearts we will

Givse the fire that will burn everlasting concern

On a sweet summer breeze, sounds of love's melody
Softly saying to me, sailaway
So wherever i go, love is with me i know
Like a dream in my heart, sailaway

Sailaway and touch love sweet love
Come sailaway fall in love with love
Ah, sailaway and touch love sweet love
Come sailaway fall in love with love


11.Take It To The Sky

Maurice white, garry glenn & larry dunn

I remember when, as a child,
I used to stop and stare
Looking in the sky, wondering
How, did my life compare

So i found thru my desire
I could take it to the sky--baby
Now, my heart can fly

Time moved on and then
Life and i became the best of firends
There's no limit to
All the smiles in life, that's in store for you

So i found thru my desire
I could take it to the sky--baby
Now, my heart can fly

Life is a word, you live
Strong as the vibes, you give
Living in happiness, is knowing
That you've been blessed
Learning to fly, it seems
Is learning to live your dreams

Take it to the sky
Learn the reason why, baby
Then your heart can fly


12.Win Or Lose

Jerry peters & jean hancock

I know that i'm afraid of lve
The tolls seems very steep
Your goals so uncontrollable
Impossible to keep

Despite the songs of lucky ones
Those very special few
Can't right the wrongs that often come
No matter what we do

I imagine that the feeling's close to none
All that passion running rampant sounds like fun
But when the trouble starts
I've heard of broken hearts
A hackneyed phrase-but one that i suspect is true
And so i wonder will i win or will i lose

Most come down, familiar ground a safer veiw
No more concerned with if they win or if they lose

The journey must be made
The hand is dealt, it must be played
It comes to all of us, we can't escape our dues
But i'm still holding back
I want my heart intact
Until the time that i'm unable to refuse

Inconsequential if i stumble up the rocks
Or catapulted if i shoot right to the top
When i on love depend
My only question then
...is will i lose or will i win
So i wonder, yes i wonder


13.Share Your Love

Maurice white & garry glenn

Love is the light, gonna let it shine
Living each day, you're sure to find
Another heart that's warm and true
Shining the light in return to you

Share your love, don't try to restrain it
Love, don't need to be afraid to
Love, everybody get together
Let every heart, around the world
Do its part

The voice of love, ringing loud and clear
To every heart with a listening ear
Hostage of hate and these chain of fear
Send dr. love, they will disappear

Share your love, don't try to restrain it
Love, don't need to be afraid to
Love, everybody get together
Let every heart, around the world
Do its part

You're number one, cause deep inside
Feelings still abide
You're number one, you light the way
Night becomes the day
You're number one, cause we feel it's true
Yes, inside we do
You're number one

Share your love, don't try to restrain it
Love, don't need to be afraid to
Love, everybody get together
Let every heeart, around the world
Do its part


14.In Time

Maurice white, arlene matza & howard mccrary

Baby, in time love is gonna find its way
Into you life vanishing your times of gray
Baby, in time the past reveals the lessons
Maybe, in time, you'll learn to count your blessings

Baby, in time your fear is gonna fade away
We'll march in time to a lovers' hit parade
Your face, it shows hope for your sorrow,
Baby, in time there's a new tomorrow

Can somebody tell me why it takes so long to see
Does anyone know the why of life and its decree
Will somebody tell me why life goes the way it goes
Somebody may tell, but i don't think nobody knows
