Lyrical Response

!!!!

 

Da Da, ooooh
Well, my friends, the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on (play on, play on, play on...)
Everybody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We're going to Party, Karamu, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
We're going to Party, Karamu, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!

 

All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long! (all night), Ooh, yeah (all night)

People dancing all in the street

[WhoTom]

Got no time for spreadin' roots
The time has come to be gone
And though our health we drank a thousand times
It's time to ramble on

[muppy]

When I wake up, I know I'm gonna be.
I'm gonna be the man that wakes up next to you.
And when I go out, I what I'm gonna be.
I'm gonna be the man that goes along with you.
And if I get drunk, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you.
And if I haber(?). Whatever that means.
I'm gonna be the man who's habering(?) with you!

But I would walk 500 Miles.
And I would walk 500 more.
To be your man, who walked one thousand  miles to fall down at your door!

 

[PastaJoe]

So, I'd wait a million years
Walk a million miles
Cry a million tears
I'd swim the deepest sea
Climb the highest hill
Just to have you near me

 

[WhoTom]

Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions about hate and death and war?
'Cause when we stop and look around us, there is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed

[cwater10]

Sister Suzy, brother John
Martin Luther, Phil and Don
Brother Michael, Auntie Jin
Open the door, let 'em in, oh yeah

[muppy]

Sister Christian, oh, the time has come
And you know that you're the only one to say, "Okay"
Where you going? What you looking for?
You know those boys don't want to play no more with you, it's true

 

[cwater10]

We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
The in-laws hope they'll see you very soon
But is it in your conscience that you're after
Another glimpse of the madman across the water

[muppy]

Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

 

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

[Bill from NYC]

That night we fell in love
Beneath the stars above
That was a lovely summer night
Remember then, then
Then, then, then

 

Remember
Re-mem-mem
Re-mem-mem-mem-ber
Re-mem-mem
Re-mem-mem-mem-ber
Re-mem-mem
Re-mem-mem-mem-ber
Then, then, remember then

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a, Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

[muppy]

Kiss me, (kiss me) down by the broken tree house
Swing me, (swing me) upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, (bring, bring) bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

 

Oh, kiss me, beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

[WhoTom]

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full, may it be again

[muppy]

In the mornin' you go gunnin' for the man who stole your water
And you fire 'til he is done in but they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin' and they put you on the street

 

You go back, Jack, do it again, wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again

[PastaJoe]

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee

[muppy]

We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
The in-laws hope they'll see you very soon
But is it in your conscience that you're after
Another glimpse of the madman across the water?

[cwater10]

Soon oh soon the light
Pass within and soothe this endless night
And wait here for you
Our reason to be here

 

Soon oh soon the time
All we move to gain will reach and calm
Our heart is open
Our reason to be here

 

Long ago, set into rhyme

 

Soon oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here

[muppy]

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still, I look to find a reason to believe

[cwater10]

I can't control this flesh and blood
That's wrapped around my bones
It moves beneath me like a river
Into the great unknown

 

I stepped onto the moving stairs
Before I could tie my shoes
Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade
Who lived and died the blues

 

And his promise made was never clear
It just carved itself in me

All I saw was frost inside my head
On the night he said to me

 

Someday we live like horses
Free rein from your old iron fences
There's more ways than one to regain your senses
Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses

[WhoTom]

You know that I care what happens to you
And I know that you care for me too
So I don't feel alone or the weight of the stone
Now that I've found somewhere safe to bury my bone
