The sinful redeeming shall be true
On an adventure of the sun, yeah

So if you find yourself in need
Why don you listen to his words of heat
Be a child free of sin
Be some place, yes i can
Words of wisdom: yes i can

2.That's The Way Of The World

Maurice white, charles stepney & verdine white

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


3.Happy Feelin'

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

Feelin, happy feelin' in the music
That we're giving, feel the power
Of the hour, every moment, that
You're living...

Little babies, tell the story,
Mother-nature, and its glory,
Share the feelin, with your brother,
Don't stop caring, one another...
There's a reason, that we pleasing,
What you're yearnin'
Life's a burnin'...


4.All About Love

Maurice white & larry dunn

We know it's been time talking to you,
So we figure we lay it on you.
Let you know how we feel about, love.
Paint a pretty smile, each day
Lovin, is a blessing,
Never let it fade away.
It's all about love

Build yourself a true romance,
There's beauty that surround you
You deserve, just one more chance

My dear, my dear

Let the light snine, all through
Your mind feel your little, heart a glow.
Take the time, make up your mind
It's all about love

Talking to yourself is fine makes
You feel, much better,
Know just where to draw the line

My dear, my dear

Bound to fall in love one day
Surely and you need it,
Pretty smile will always say
It's all about love

We want to take this moment to run
Down a couple of things about things
We see everyday.

Now, i want you to stop whatever you're doing.
You're doing. just stop.
You know, they say there' s beauty
In the eyes which i say is not the fact.
'cause you are as beautiful as your
Thoughts, right on.

You know, for instance, we study all kin
Kinds of sciences, astrogy, mysticism,
Religion, so forth we did.
And like coming from here place, all these things help
Because if you're inside your inner self
Have mercy!

Now. there's an outer self we got to deal with
The one that likes to go to parties,
One that likes to dress up and be cool
And look pretty, all ego-trips avel all this.

Hear you all, i'm trying to tell you,
You gotta love you. and learn all the beautiful things around
you,
Trees and birds. and if there ain't no beauty,
You got to make some beauty. have mercy!
Listen to me, yeah!


5.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.


6.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

(phillips last solo) heeehhhhh, ooooh, yeaahhh, oohhh baby,
I can't find the reasons
That my love won't disappear
Can't find the reasons
Why i love you ,my baby, my dear
Can't find the reasons
Wanna love you all night
Can't find the reasons
Gotta squeeze ya, real tight
Can't find the reasons
Baby- yeah,
For my tears
Can't find the reasons
Why i love ya....(fade to black)

8.See The Light

Larry dunn, philip bailey & louise hardy

Lookin' through the clouds, what do you see?
Sky of gases, child in need
Troubles everywhere, more than i can bear
So i'm searching from within
Help them see the light

I'm a blossom, in the sun, sunshine of love
Singing loud to the one, i love above.
Shine on sun, let your light, guide my way.
For so long, there's been such darkness,
Got to be a better way
Keep me lord, help me to grow.
So i may, reap the fruits, of a free and happy soul.
Help them see the light.

Give me strength, when temptation calls.
Lift me up when life's battles make me fall.
Shelter me from the evil and the wrong.
So when ya call, dear lord, i said i'll be strong.

Walk with me, when the stormy nights are cold,
In your hand lies all control.

Master, then when my final song is sung,
With your mercy, i pray that you'll say well done.
Help them see the light.
