CELEBRATION
Life's not a mystery
To analyze and understand
Bullfrogs and honey bees
Sing their songs and dance
They don't think too hard
Or wonder why
The earth will turn, the sun will rise
Celebration . . .
Every day's another day for
Celebration . . .
Right into the night
Jubilation
Drink it in like lemonade
Celebration
It's good to be alive!
I'm thankful as can be
For every breath I take
And that my heart still beats
Every morning when I wake
I have things to do
I still have plans
I'll sing my songs and dance my dance
Celebration . . .
Every day's another day for
Celebration . . .
Right into the night
Jubilation
Drink it in like lemonade
Celebration
It's good to be alive!
Celebration . . .
Every day's another day for
Celebration . . .
Right into the night
Jubilation
Drink it in like lemonade
Celebration
It's good to be alive!
. . . to be alive!

Citizen Of The World

CITIZEN OF THE WORLD
All of us who were born here
on this planet some call Earth
Share a tiny corner
of the universe
We’ve got to learn to live together,
standing side by side
Or at least stop killing each other
to save our pride
The best I can do
Is remember that I’m just like you
I’m a Citizen of the World
And I am free to believe what I want to believe
-- no-one can take that from me
I’m a Citizen of the World
And I can hope, I can try, and I can dream
About the way things will be
I’m a Citizen of the World
Governments don’t give us any rights,
they just take some away
They try to take control
of what we do and say
But I was born into this world
with the right to live here free
And no-one’s gonna take that right
away from me
Although some have tried
They can’t change the way I feel inside
I’m a Citizen of the World
And I am free to believe what I want to believe
-- no-one can take that from me
I’m a Citizen of the World
And I can hope, I can try, and I can dream
About the way things will be
I’m a Citizen of the World
I’m a Citizen of the World
And I am free to believe what I want to believe
-- no-one can take that from me
I’m a Citizen of the World
And I can hope, I can try, and I can dream
About the way things will be
I’m a Citizen of the World

HELP YOURSELF TO ME
I see the sadness of a lonely dreamer, it's something you can't hide
You've done your best to be a true believer, but you're not satisfied
Don't start thinking no-one understands
Come on, take my hand
If you can't help yourself, help yourself to me
I think I know how you feel, once I was down on
my knees
Now I'm standing strong enough to help someone
in need
So if you can't help yourself, help yourself to me
Anytime you need a friendly shoulder, you can lean on
mine
And if you ever think of starting over, I'll be by your
side
I'm with you no matter what it takes
I've been in your place
If you can't help yourself, help yourself to me
I think I know how you feel, once I was down on
my knees
Now I'm standing strong enough to help someone
in need
So if you can't help yourself,
If you can't help yourself,
If you can't help yourself, help yourself to me

LET'S PLAY
You take things so serious
I never see you smile
But let go of your worries
I promise, you'll be fine
Dance when you feel like dancing
Laugh if you want to, it's okay
Don't hold back when you're happy
Come on, come on, let's play
Let's play
Looking back it's easy
To see all your mistakes
Life is full of choices
And they're all yours to make
So dance when you feel like dancing
Laugh if you want to, it's okay
Don't hold back when you're happy
Come on, come on, let's play
Let's play
Dance when you feel like dancing
Laugh if you want to, it's okay
Don't hold back when you're happy
Come on, come on, let's play
Let's play

MAYA LINDA
Down on the coast, where coconuts grow
And the breeze blows in from the Gulf of Mexico
There’s a little town where I like to go to this old cafe
There waits the girl with eyes so dark
And the music in her laughter stole my heart
But her papa says I go too far when I start to say
Hey . . . Maya Linda
Sweet, sweet, sweet senorita
Hey . . . Maya Linda
Please be mine . . . Maya Linda
When I’m out with her we’re sneaking around
‘Cause her Papa has his spies all over town
Watching every move ‘cause he wants to know when we’re holding hands
But everyone sees we’re so in love
Anyone around could tell . . . but no-one does
He doesn’t know about the times we’ve gone walking on the sand
Hey . . . Maya Linda
Sweet, sweet, sweet senorita
Hey . . . Maya Linda
Please be mine . . . Maya Linda
Next time I go, I’m going to stay
I’ll ask Papa’s blessing, and then I’ll say . . .
Hey . . . Maya Linda
Sweet, sweet, sweet senorita
Hey . . . Maya Linda
Please be mine . . . Maya Linda
Please be mine . . . Maya Linda
Please be mine . . . Maya Linda

PULLING YOU CLOSER
My love for you has got me feelin’ so, so fine
‘Cause your love for me is burnin’ strong and I can feel it
I can feel it burnin’ strong
I can feel your love for me, and I love it
I feel a joy inside my heart when you hold me tight
And woman all that I can do is pull you closer
Pull you closer to my heart
I pull you closer to my heart, and I love you
I’m pulling you closer (to my heart)
Pulling you closer
I’m pulling you (closer)
My love for you has got me feelin’ so, so fine
‘Cause when I see your smilin’ face, I feel happy
When I see your smilin’ face
When I see your smilin’ face, I’m happy
I’m pulling you closer (to my heart)
Pulling you closer
I’m pulling you (closer)

Puppets

PUPPETS
People on the streets are dancin’ like puppets
But we all know it
We’d love to tell the puppeteers where to shove it
But we can’t do it
We belong to the banks and the politicians
We’re only as free as they let us be
A relatively small number of people
Are pulling all the strings
Puppets, we’re all puppets
Puppets, we’re all puppets
Eyes open, we’re not going through this blindly
And we don’t like it
Always looking, we’re not happy with what we’re finding
But glad to find it
We the people exploited by others
The use us like so many playing pieces
They’re all trying to win at this game
But no-one wins till this game-playing ceases
Puppets, we’re all puppets
Puppets, we’re all puppets
We the people exploited by others
The use us like so many playing pieces
They’re all trying to win at this game
But no-one wins till this game-playing ceases
Puppets, we’re all puppets
Puppets, we’re all puppets
Puppets, we’re all puppets . . . of other
Puppets, we’re all puppets
Puppets, we’re all puppets

ONE PLANET, ONE PEOPLE
One planet, one people
There are no lines in the ground
One planet, one people
Therein peace may be found
We’re not divided by our countries
We’re not divided by race
We’re not divided by religion
Our only division
is inability
To see we are one
One planet, one people
There are no lines in the ground
One planet, one people
Therein peace may be found
We’re not divided by our concepts
We’re not divided by hate
We’re not divided by decision
Our only division
is inability
To see we are one
One planet, one people
There are no lines in the ground
One planet, one people
Therein peace may be found
One planet, one people
One planet, one people
One planet, one people
One planet, one people

Let There Be Love

LET THERE BE LOVE
People everywhere are always looking to each other for love
People everywhere are always looking to each other for love
Each and every one of us can do the world a favor
Let there be love
Let there be love, love, love, love, love
Too many lonely hearts are freezing in the cold
They must be saved
Too many hearts that have been hesitant to share
We must be brave
Let there be love
Let there be love
So the children of the world will live to see
Another age
And those of us who’ve seen the world before
Will see a better day
Let there be love
Let there be love
People everywhere are always looking to each other for love
(You know it's true now don't you - what I'm singing about?)
People everywhere are always looking to each other for love
Each and every one of us can do the world a favor
Let there be love
Let there be love, love, love, love, love
Love
Love
