2.Can't Hide Love

Skip scarbrough

You want my love and you can't deny
You know it's true, but you try to hide
You turn down love like it's really bad
You can't give what you never had
Well bless your soul, you can fool a few
But, i know the truth and so do you

You can't hide love, you can't now
You can't hide love, it's got ya
Betcha you want my love, i betcha
You can't hide feeling inside

You can't pretend there's nothing there
Girl, i look in your eyes, i see you care
So why not stop trying to run and hide
You won't find out, if you never try,

You can't hide love, you can't now
You can't hide love, it's got ya
Betcha want my love, i betcha
You can't hide feeling inside

Love has found the time to kiss you
Can you find the time to listen
Life found the time to bug you
Can you find the time for blessing.


3.Celebrate

Maurice white, charles stepney & philip bailey

Seasons change, they rearrange
So why can't you and i--say why
Thoughts we find, are so unkind
We often have to cry--but why

Chorus:
Celebrate, change your thoughts to love
Celebrate, what you're thinking of
Time ain't long, soon we'll be moving on,
Moving on...

Nature's way for her to say in perfect harmony
Find your place, your past erased
For life's new destiny.

Chorus:
Celebrate, change your thoughts to love
Celebrate, what you're thinking of
Time ain't long, soon we'll be moving on,
Moving on...

And deliverance, from the fruits of evil.
So our mission, to bring a melody,
Ringin' voices sing sweet harmony

For you here's a song, to make your day brighter.

You need devotion. bless the children
Deliverance from the fruits of evil

8.Reasons

Maurice white, charles stepney & philip bailey

Now, i'm craving your body,
Is this real
Temperatures rising, i don't want to feel
I'm in the wrong place to be real
Woahh and i'm; longing to love you
Just for a night,
Kissing and hugging and holding you tight
Please let me love you
With all my might

Reasons, the reasons that we hear,
The reasons that we fear
Our feelings a-won't disappear

Oooh! and- after the love game has been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade

(layering chorus)
La-la-la-etc
After all our reasons why
All the reasons were a lie
After all the reasons lo-ove was ne'er decide

And, longing to love you for one night
Please let me love you with all of my might, baaaaby
Ooohhh, baby!

Reasons, the reasons that we hear,
The reasons that we fear
Our feelings a-won't disappear

Oooh! and after the love games have been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade

And, in the morning when i rise,
No longer feeling hynotized
For no reasons, our reasons, our reasons
Have no pri-ii-de

(layering chorus)
La-la-la-etc
After all the reasons why
All of the reasons were a lie
After all the reasons lo-ove was ne'er decide

12.Sunshine

Maurice white, al mckay & philip bailey

Heavenly sunshine, only you can stop the rain
Pouring in my heart, causing tears of pain.
All of your feelin', seems to make me glow
Like beautiful sunshine, that makes the flowers grow.

Chorus:
You're my sunshine, loving you is my dream
When i'm with you, i hear bluebells ring
And the beauty, only you can bring
Keep me smiling, my heart's filing away
Memories of a life with you
Take me with you, i'm the one who's
Gonna lift you, to your shining star.

You are my light, when dark days do appear
Bringing me sunshine
My heart has no more fear,
Birds in the air, they even sing your name
Spreading love's rainbow--an everlasting flame.
Chorus

14.Yearnin' Learnin'

Maurice white, charles stepney & philip bailey

Once upon a time, a child was born
With a light, to carry on,
Didn't know what he had to be, had a feelin'
He was bound to see...

So the streets, he fled to shine
In a world of a different kind,
As he yearn, so he learn.

Stop! look what's behind you
Fame and love gonna find you
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do.

He just felt so, good inside
Watchin' people come alive
Throbbin' rhythm and it stirs your soul
Melodies of joy unfold...

Gives your heart such a special treat
Clap your hands, stomp your feet...
As we yearn, so we learn.

Stop! look what's behind you
Fame and love gonna find you
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do.
