Ease On Down The Road
‘The Wiz’ Soundtrack
Come on and
Ease on down, ease on down the road
come on, ease on down, ease on down the road
don’t you carry nothing that might be a load come on,
Ease on down ease on down, down the road
Come on
Ease on down, ease on down the road (ease on down)
Come on
Ease on down, Ease on down the road (ease on down)
Don’t you carry nothing that might be alone
Come on
Ease on down, ease on down, down the road
Pick your left foot up, when your right foots down
Come on lets keep moving, don’t you lose control
You just keep on Keepin’ on the road that you choose
Don’t you give up walking cause you gave up shoes
Ease on down, Ease on down the road (come on)
Ease on down, Ease on down the road
Don’t you carry nothing that might be a load
Come on
Ease on down, Ease on down, down the road
Cause there may be times when you think you lost your mind
And the steps you’re taking leave you three four steps behind
But the road you’re walking might be long sometimes
You just keep on stepping and you’ll be just fine (yeah)
Ease on down, ease on down the road (ease on down)
Ease on down, ease on down the road (ease on down)
Don’t you carry nothing that might be a load
Come on
Ease on down, ease on down, down the….
For there may be times, when you wish you wasn’t born
And you wake one morning just to find your courage gone
but you know that feeling only last a little while
you just stick with us and you’ll be just fine (yeah)
Get ‘em up, on down (ease on down)
Get ‘em up, on down (ease on down)
Get ‘em up, on down(ease on down)
Get ‘em up, get ‘em up (ease on down)
Get ‘em up, on down (ease on down)
Get ‘em up, on down (ease on down)
Get ‘em up (ease on down) on down (ease on down)
Get ‘em up, get ‘em up (ease on down)
Get ‘em up, on down(ease on down the road)
Get ‘em up, on down (ease on down)
Get ‘em up, on down (ease on down)
Get ‘em up, get ‘em up (ease on down)
Get ‘em up, on down.. (ease on down)
On The Line
from the Spike Lee movie ‘Get On The Bus’; released on the Ghosts Box Set
No sense pretending it’s over
Hard times just don’t go away
You gotta take that chip off your shoulder
It’s time you open up
Have some faith
Nothing good ever comes easy
All good things come in due time
Yes it does
You gotta have something to believe in
I’m telling you to open your mind
* Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
You’ve got to reach out and try
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna get it right
Gotta put it all on the line
You see yourself in the mirror
And you don’t like what you see
And things are getting much clearer
Don’t you think it’s time you go for a change
Don’t waste your time on the past, no, no
It’s time you look to the future
It’s alright there if you ask
This time if you try much harder
* Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
You’ve got to reach out and try
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna get it right
Gotta put it all on the line
If you wanna make it right
If you wanna do it now
Let love come free
And that’s just so easy now
You gotta go for what you want
You gotta do what you got to do
(* repeat chorus)
Someone In The Dark (opening version)
‘E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial’ Soundtrack
All alone wishing on stars
Waiting for you to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
A stranger who’d be my friend
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells you never be afraid
Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars I knew
My friend, my someone in the dark was you
Promise me we’ll always be
Walking the world together
Hand in hand where dreams never end
My star secret friend and me
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells you never be afraid
Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow
Look for the rainbow in the sky
I believe you and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever you may be
I’ll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Wherever you may be
I’ll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Someone In The Dark (closing version)
‘E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial’ Soundtrack
Though you’re gone star far away
Each time I see a rainbow
I’ll remember being with you
Smiles coming through my tears
When someone in the dark reaches out for you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells you never be afraid
Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow
Look for the rainbow in the sky
I believe you and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever you may be
I’ll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Wherever you may be
I’ll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me!
We Are Here To Change The World
from the movie ‘Captain Eo’
We’re on a mission in the everlasting light that shines
A revelation of the truth, the chapters of our minds
So long bad times
We’re gonna shake it up and break it up
We’ll shine a light brighter than the sun
Hello good times
We’re here to stimulate, eliminate, intoxicate, illuminate
* We are here to change the world
Gonna change the world
We are here to change the world
Gonna change the world
Ooh!
So do surrender cause the power’s deep inside my soul
Sing it!
(* repeat)
You Can’t Win
‘The Wiz’ Soundtrack
You can’t win
You can’t break even
And you can’t get out of the game
People kee sayin’
Things are gonna change
But they look just like
You’re stayin’ the same
You get in
Get over your head
And you only got yourself to blame
You can’t win child
(You can’t win child)
You can’t break even
And you can’t get out of the game
You can’t win
The world keeps movin’
And you’re standin’ far behind
People keep sayin’
Things’ll get better
(Just to ease your state of mind)
(So you lean back, and you smoke that smoke)
(And you drink your glass of wine)
So you can’t win, child
You can’t break even
And you can’t get out of the game
You can’t win, you can’t win no way
If your story stays the same
(You ain’t winnin’),
No, no,
(But it’s nice to see you)
(I’m awfully glad you came)
(Better cool it ’cause
It ain’t about losin’)
And the world has got no shame
You can’t win, child
You can’t break even
You can’t get out of the game
You can’t win
You can’t break even
Ain’t the way it’s supposed to be
(You’ll be spendin’),
No, no
(Your little bit of money)
While someone else rides for free
(Learn your lesson), ooh,
(Refuel your mind)
(Before some turkey blows out your flame)
You can’t win, child. No!
You can’t win
You can’t win, child. No!
You can’t win
You can’t win, child. No!
You can’t win
You can’t win, child. No!
You can’t win
You can’t win, child
You can’t break even
And you can’t get out of the game
You can’t get out of the game
You can’t get out (wooh!) of the game
No, no…
