Believe In Love

written by M. Elliott, Shaggy, D. Bennet, Rik Rok

 

Whatever my eyes can see, my heart can feel 

That’s why I believe in love

 

I seen so many things through out my life

The only thing I ever seen survive the test of time

Is the strength of your love 

When right seems wrong and wrong seems right,

Just be careful, be strong

 

chorus 

Whatever my eyes can see, my heart can feel 

That’s why I believe in love

Knowing my eyes can see, sure as the deep blue sea  

That’s why I believe in love

  

You blessed me with an everlasting smile 

Gotta give thanks for the way you touch my life with your love  

And when right seems wrong and wrong seems right,

I’ll be careful I’ll be strong

 

repeat chorus

  

In the moments when I’m alone 

In the times when I’m not sure 

I can always call on you 

In the moments when I’m impaired 

When it seems like no ones there 

There’s one thing I know is true 

I can always call on you

 

repeat chorus

 

In the moments when I’m alone 

In the times when I’m not sure 

I can always call on you 

In the moments when I’m impaired 

When it seems like no ones there 

There’s one thing I know is true

I can always call on you

There's Nothing Like This

written by Lye-Fook

 

Baby baby baby

 

Sip a glass of cold champagne wine

The rug that we lie on feels divine

And there's no no no no bad feelings

And for we too

 

Ecstasy the word of the night

Ringing in our ears, we're in flight

And there's no no no no substitution

For what we have no others can have

 

chorus

There's nothing like this

There's nothing like this

No one could ever have what we have

There's nothing like this no no no

 

The lightest conversation has its flow

All the communication don't you know

And I feel quite content oh right now oh yeah

Just stick with me and we'll make history

An exclusive pair in love we will be

And there's no no no no substitution

For what we have, no others can have

 

There's nothing like this

There's nothing like this

Not even remotely like this

Ooh there's nothing like this,oh yeah

There's nothing like this,

Between you and me baby

There's nothing like this oh baby

There is nothing like this

Hero To Zero

written by G. Benson, M. Elliott, L. Brown

 

Ah hero to zero

 

The way we used to be, invades my memory

Pictures on the wall, betrays the rise and fall

I never realize, I still don't understand 

I was too blind to see, you're slippin' through my hands

 

chorus

Slippin' away

You're slippin' away yeah yeah

A hero to zero, sunshine to stormy weather

I was the number one now there's no more together

We had it goin' on so tell me where did it all go wrong

A hero to zero, it's like me losing you yeah

It's like me losing you yeah

 

The silence chills the air

I miss you being there

Time won't heal the scars

Still wonder where you are

It never dawned on me

One day you break free

And I would come down to earth

And face reality

 

repeat chorus 3x

Fields

written by G. Sumner

 

You'll remember me when the west wind moves among the fields of the island

You can tell the sun in it's jealous sky

When we walked in fields of gold

So she took her love for a gaze a while among the fields of the island

In his arms she fell as her hair came down among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love among the fields of the islands

You can tell the sun in his jealous sky

When we walked in fields of gold

When we walked in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly and there's been some that I've broken

But I swear in days still left

We will walk in fields of gold

We will walk in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly and there's been some that I've broken

But I swear in days still left

We will walk in fields of gold

We will walk in fields of gold

Na na na na na na na na na na oh yeah

Many years have passed since those summer days among the fields of the islands

See the children run as the sun goes down

As we lie in fields of gold

 

You'll remember me when the west wind moves among the fields of the islands

You can tell the sun in its jealous sky

When we walked in fields of gold

When we walked in fields of gold

When we walked in fields of gold

When we walked in fields of gold

When we walked in fields of gold

When we walked in fields of gold

When we walked in fields of gold

Cry For The Children

written by H. Hammond, I. Lindo, M. Elliott 

 

Slow down everyone pay attention let us reason for awhile 

I'm worried about this everyday killing that is turning into style  

Don't try to convince its normal, playing with human lives

Don't know about you but I know its brings tears to my eyes

chorus 1 

And I cry for the children 

And I pray for them 

That someday consciousness will once again

Be the answer to our prayers oh yeah

 

chorus 2 

Now I'm tired of all the goings on around us everyday 

How did the little bitty innocent babies become pray and by the way 

How could we allow ourselves to go so far 

I'm almost certain we've forgotten who we are 

I'm wide awake in a dream that never ends  

And my heart cries out for help everyday

repeat chorus 1

How many more lives do you need for your game?  

Cause we're counting 

How many more mothers will you leave in pain? 

Cause it's mounting 

Could you give me a time or a day 

How much longer will we have to wait 

Will there be sunshine and no trace of crime when I wake 

 

Now I'm tired

repeat chorus 2

Wild World

written by C. Stevens

 

Wycleff is sitting here playing the guitar 

Vibing with Maxi Priest, Maxi Priest you need to tell her again 

 

Don't go don't go

 

Now that I've lost everything to you 

You say you want to start something new 

And it's breaking my heart you're leaving 

Baby I'm grieving

But if you want to leave take good care

Hope you find a lot of nice things to wear

But then a lot of nice things turn bad

Out there

chorus

Oh baby baby it's a wild world 

It's hard to get by just upon a smile girl 

Oh baby baby it's a wild world  

I'll always remember you like a child girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do 

And it's breaking my heart in two 

Because I never want to see you sad girl  

Don't be a bad girl

But if you want to leave take good care 

Hope you find a lot of nice friends out there  

But just remember there's a lot of bad everywhere

 

repeat chorus

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do 

And it's breaking my heart in two 

Because I never want to see you sad girl  

Don't be a bad girl

But if you want to leave take good care 

Hope you find a lot of nice things to wear 

But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
