Same Old Story
Born to open for Mankind nature's door A life known by a few And those who knew that shared Their knowledge fewer cared About what plants could do For most felt it was mad to conceive That plants thought, felt, and moved quite like we But with instruments Bose would devise Would take Science itself by a surprise, so On we go to where who knows To a place where there's still non-believers What will it take for heaven sakes For those who find what's real too hard to believe in It's that same old story again. Born of slaves who died Too soon to realize The need his life would be Selflessy he gave His wisdom to a way Where first no minds would see He said if farm land was to be rich We must plant crops to replenish it But it took him persuasion and tests To convince them Canver's way was best, so On we go to where who knows To a place where there's still non-believers What will it take for heaven sakes For those who find what's real too hard to believe in It's that same old story again.
Venus' Flytrap and the Bug
Hello flower Boy, do you look juicy And you know just what I'm coming to get, right Don't eat me Please don't eat me I'm trapped in your love Save me, don't hurt me
Ai No Sono
There is a garden Where every heart can Share in the joy of giving It like no other Has love to cover Bearing no price on living Quietty listen and you might hear them singing their lullaby Calling for you to join in their love filled garden Kibo-ni afure ikiru yorokobi Shiawase ni michi te Ai no rakuen Subete no kokoro ga Ai o wakachiau Shizuka ni mimi katamuke yo Ai no komori uta Kimi sasoi yobikakenu Ai no sono
Power Flower
Pan is my name I live outside the door I have to keep the score of things around you Fire and air, water I prepare I am the piper at the gates of dawning It's not magic it's not madness Just the elements I style And I guarantee faithfully I will never go Until all is said and done In a twinkling I'll be gone Well excuse me I have so much more to do Fancy I fell, A childlike tap I'll steal Look twice my friend it's not the wind at all You'll never see, What you refuse to be The power in the seeing is believing. It's not magic it's not madness Just the elements I style And I guarantee faithfully I will never go Until all is said and done In a twinkling I'll be gone Well excuse me I have so much more to do It's not magic it's not madness Just the elements I style And I guarantee faithfully I will never go Until all is said and done In a twinkling I'll be gone Well excuse me I have so much more to do Flower Power, Power Flower, Flower Power, Power of Love Power Flower, Flower Power, Power Flower, Flower of Love He's a power flower yeah, oh Protecting all the flowers, yeah, oh He's a flower's power, yeah Through earth, wind, fire, showers, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh He's a power flower yeah, oh Protecting all the flowers, yeah, oh
Send One Your Love (Music)
Send her your love With a dozen roses Make sure that she knows it With a flower from your heart Show him your love Don't hold back your feelings You don't need a reason When it's straight from the heart I've heard so many say that the days of romance are no more And people falling in love is so old fashioned But waiting are they the day they once let slip away Hiding need to fulfill their heart's desire for love's passion Send her your love With a dozen roses Make sure that she knows it With a flower from your heart Show him your love Don't hold back your feelings You don't need a reason When it's straight from the heart I know that people say two hearts beating as one is unreal And can only happen in make believe stories But so blind they all must be that they cannot believe what they see For around us are miracles of love's glory Show him your love Don't hold back your feelings You don't need a reason When it's straight from the heart
Race Babbling

Send One Your Love

Outside My Window
La-La-La-La La-La-La La-La-La La-La-La La-La… Much has been written about The world and all its kind of loves But the sweetest of them all You seldom will find stories of, oh oh oh oh My love lives outside my window Clouds burst to give water So her love can grow, oh My love smiles to me each morning Says she'll never leave me and I know it's so La-La-La-La La-La-La La-La-La La-La-La La-La… You don't have to look around Or ask yourself if she is there 'Cause the fragrance of her love Says hi with every breath of air, oh oh oh oh La-La-La-La La-La-La La-La-La La-La-La La-La… You will often hear her name Describing another's prettiness But if ever there was choice My flower would be the prettiest, oh oh oh oh My love lives outside my window Clouds burst to give water So her love can grow, oh My love smiles to me each morning Says she'll never leave me and I know it's so La-La-La-La La-La-La La-La-La La-La-La La-La…
Black Orchid
A flake of snow within a storm A new way waiting to be born In a world with need of change A touch of love in fear of hate A rushing wind that's asked to wait For the promises of rain A pearl of wisdom entrapped by poverty She gives love with purity Filling minds with hopeful schemes To build worlds enhanced by peace Draped in sparkling morning dew She expresses life anew From the earth beneath her feet She is a flower that grows In love ability She's femininity Black Orchid, Black Orchid Why did they make you begin When they know in time you'll find your truth before your cycle ends Black Orchid, Black Orchid Why are you crying their fears When the true reflection of you that they see Is love besieged by years She has touched the farthest star Her beauty speaks of what we are And her freedom makes us free Her now is in eternity Infinite to all that see And her dreams have been achieved Now there is a sound of laughter Nature signs out her name For the world to know her fame Black Orchid, Black Orchid Why did they criticize When they knew your love could cast its spell and consecrate their eyes Black Orchid, Black Orchid Why do you linger in space When you know in every heart that beats You hold a special place When you know in every heart that beats You hold a special place
Kesse Ye Lolo De Ye
Kesse Ye Lolo De Ye (A seed's a star) Lolo Ye Kesse De Ye (A star's a seed) Diame, Diame (peace and more peace)
Come Back as a Flower
The starngest thought came to me on this morning As I awake to greet the coming dawn The sun was hardly peaking through the garden It felt that with everything I was one Then I wished that I could come back as a flower As a flower As a flower How I wished that I could come back as a flower As a flower To spread the sweetness of love To spread the sweetness of love The dew had finished making love to many A rainbow smelling sweet was in the air I envied all the silence I saw growing So unmoved by things outside themselves Then how I wished that I could come back as a flower As a flower As a flower How I wished that I could come back as a flower As a flower To spread the sweetness of love How I wished that I could come back as a flower Oh as a flower As a flower How I wished that I could come back as a flower As a flower As a flower To spread the sweetness of love To spread the sweetness of love Wished that I could come back as a flower Flower Flower Wished that I could come back as a flower Flower Sweetness of love How I come back as a flower Flower Flower How I come back as a flower Flower Sweetness of love Sweetness of love
A Seed's a Star • Tree • Medley
We're a people black as is your night Born to spread Amma's eternal light Which since time began Has been to bring truth to every man Our ancestors have since long ago Passed their wisdom down so we to know For here lies the key That will help unfold the mistery A seed's a star A seed's a star's a seed A star's a seed A star's a seed's a star In myself I do contain The elements of sun and rain First a seed with roots that swell I gradually burst through my shell Pushing down into the ground The root of me is homeward bound A trunk, a leaf and there I am A miracle of least by far Tree - you are the longest living one we know the largest of all plants and still you grow Tree - within your branches there's such history so much of what we're searching for to know Every fifty years we celebrate Po Tolo, our star, as it rotates Though infinitely small It is still the heaviest of them all A seed's a star A seed's a star's a seed A star's a seed A star's a seed's a star A seed's a star A seed's a star's a seed A star's a seed A star's a seed's a star Ye Lolo De Ye Lolo Ye Kesse De Ye Kesse ye lolo De Ye Lolo Ye Kesse De Ye Kesse ye lolo De Ye Lolo Ye Kesse De Ye Kesse ye lolo De Ye Lolo Ye Kesse De Ye And some believe antennas are their leaves That spans beyond our galaxy They've been, they are and probably will be Who are the mediocrity
The Secret Life of Plants
I can't conceive the nucleus of all Begins inside a tiny seed And what we think as insignificant Provides the purest air we breathe But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being For these are but a few discoveries We find inside the Secret Life of Plants A species smaller than the eye can see Or larger than most living things And yet we take from it without consent Our shelter, food, habilment But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being For these are but a few discoveries Wwe find inside the Secret Life of Plants But far too many give them in return A stomp, cut, drown, or burn As is they're nothing But if you ask yourself where would you be Without them you will find you would not And some believe antennas are their leaves That spans beyond our galaxy They've been, they are and probably will be Who are the mediocrity But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being For these are but a few discoveries We find inside the Secret Life of Plants For these are but a few discoveries We find inside the Secret Life of Plants
