Spoon fed dribbling , dirty
and your head's all full of mush
You got a slow death upon your back

You take a fast ride while you die inside
Still clawing for your stuff

Ah, Ah, Ah

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme
Till it's all gone

Your Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton
Don't love your heart so well
Your like a wolf child in sheep's clothing
It's the world that you sell

Gucci , Prada never lose it mama
Get it while it's good
Teach those little ones
To cry like they should

Ah, Ah, Ah

Show them how to live and never how to die
Don't let them make you crazy from all the pain
Your on your way, your on your way

DUB
Dub

Lyrics/Music: CoCo O'Connor





You might be feeling misunderstood
I got something that will do you good
You may feel like you are all alone
I got some place you can call your own



Don't let them break you down
Don't let them push you 'round
Don't let them take your life
Stand up you know what's right


Set yourself free
Be who you're meant to be
Set yourself free
Be who you're meant to be

You might be feeling misunderstood
I got something that will do you good
You may feel like you are all alone
I got some place you can call your own

Don't them make you old
Don't let them take your soul
Don't let them make you fall
Stand up for Whom your called

Set yourself free
Be who you're meant to be
Set yourself free
Be who you're meant to be



Dr. Martin Luther King- Speech:

This oft misunderstood, this oft misinterpreted concept, so readily dismissed by the Nietzsches of the world as a weak and cowardly force, has now become an absolute necessity for the survival of man. When I speak of love I am not speaking of some sentimental and weak response. I’m not speaking of that force which is just emotional bosh. I am speaking of that force which all of the great religions have seen as the supreme unifying principle of life. Love is somehow the key that unlocks the door which leads to ultimate reality. This Hindu-Moslem-Christian-Jewish-Buddhist belief about ultimate reality is beautifully summed up in the first epistle of Saint John: "Let us love one another, (Yes) for love is God. (Yes) And every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God, for God is love." "If we love one another, God dwelleth in us and his love is perfected in us." Let us hope that this spirit will become the order of the day.

We can no longer afford to worship the god of hate or bow before the altar of retaliation. The oceans of history are made turbulent by the ever-rising tides of hate. History is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path of hate. As Arnold Toynbee says: "Love is the ultimate force that makes for the saving choice of life and good against the damning choice of death and evil. Therefore the first hope in our inventory must be the hope that love is going to have the last word."

1. Inside Your Love Play
Inside Your Love
Inside Your Love

My pen just turned my fingers blue
After I talked to you
I wanted to write down your memory
I wanted you to stay around
The paper was blown away
By the wind right after
I let you in

I wanted the space in my heart
To be full of your love

I was walking outside with my dog
When I heard the phone ring
My mind ran with all of the fantasies
I had pretended to bring
All the thoughts of you
Ran through my head
Like the ink turning my fingers blue

It is hard not to hide the love
I have found Inside YOU

Chorus

Inside your love
I can be free
Inside your Love
I can start to believe
Inside you

I wish I could tell you my feelings
And how alive they are for you
The flowers smell sweeter
The chocolate tastes deeper
Everything's feels so new
I get lost in your eyes
Can't wait on your smile And yor eyes so blue
It is hard to hide the love I have found inside you


Repeat 2nd half of chorus from all the thoughts

2. Hello 2 Heaven Play
Hello 2 Heaven
Hello 2 Heaven


I came to the sea to find inspiration
Or maybe I came hoping to find you
You're so far away
Sometimes it's hard to believe
The ground I stand on brings you closer to me

Say Hello 2 Heaven for me
Daddy won't you please
For I want to be there with you
Say Hello 2 Heaven for me
I am on my knees
And I want to be there with you

I looked upon the water , the sun blinded me
I tried so hard to look upon your face
You make me feel so jealous cause you live in the light
The light that blinds sin
And holds you in grace

Say Hello 2 Heaven for me
Daddy won't you please
For I want to be there with you
Say Hello 2 Heaven for me
I am on my knees
And I want to be there with you

Little Star
Little Star

There's a Little Star
Outside my window
She lives in outer space
Where it's so cold
She twinkles her days and nights away
Never seems to change
I shake my fist at the little star sometimes
She's brighter than I
Cause she needs no wine
She's more pure and holy and white it seems
I am in between

Chorus

Oh you Little Star
How do you live so far
Above the earth
Up in the sky
You make me cry(X2) I wanna fly (on 2nd Chorus)

Repeat chorus

There's a little star
Outside my window
Surrounded by the night
Yet burning away
I guess I am the darkness
These days embracing the moon
There's an astronaut
Somewhere insde my soul
Flying to the moon
Letting go flying away
Escaping into the night

Chorus

There's a little star
Outside my window
Fading away
To the sun
Sleep little star
goodbye, goodnight

Blink
Blink


VERSE 1:

Every movie on the screen
Reminds me of some faded dream
Oh when my curtains close
Where is my new show
Who is this falling from my eyes
Who am I in a new disguise


CHORUS:

Can you save my life
Will you open these blind eyes
So that I can truly see
That you're lost in front of me
Can you save my life
Will you open my blind eyes
So that I can truly see
That you're lost inside if me


VERSE 2:

Every mysterious grin
Somehow wants to reel me in
Should I believe it or not
At this moment
You are all I've got
Who is this in front of me
Who is it you want me to see

Something Beautiful feat. Ravi Zacharias
Something Beautiful

RAVI:
The more I have reflected on that story , the more I realize what an apt description that is of the post - modern mindset
We really don't know where we are in history and we don't know who we are in this calibration of identification for essence and destiny and all that sorta stuff
Who are we, whither are we headed?

CHORUS:
We have something beautiful
We have something true
You live in me
I live in You

RAVI:
Why is in the west today we have lost our way?
Why is in the west today we have lost our way?

CHORUS:
We have something beautiful
We have something true
You live in me
I live in You

RAVI:
There is a breakdown in the public and private life that you and I live and we are told that that which is most sacred to us can be practiced in private
How can that be? How can that be?

CHORUS:
We have something beautiful
We have something true
You live in me
I live in You

RAVI:
The loneliest moment in life is when you have just experienced that which would give you the ultimate and it has let you down...you can never find the ultimate without finding the sacred

6. If I ever needed You ( I need You now) Play
If I ever needed You ( I need You now)
IF I EVER NEEDED YOU ( I NEED YOU NOW)

MY HEAD IS ACHING
RUSHING IS THE RAIN
OUTSIDE ON THE TREES
MY TIME HAS COME TO BELIEVE

ALL THOSE LOVELY LEAVES
ARE TALKING TO ME NOW
HELPING ME BELIEVE
THERE IS A LIGHT SOMEWHERE IN ME

CHORUS:

IF I EVER NEEDED YOU
I NEED YOU NOW
IF I EVER NEEDED YOU
I NEED YOU NOW
CAUSE THE FUTURE IS NOW THE PRESENT
THE PAST ID WHERE WE LEFT IT
IF I EVER NEEDED YOU BABY- I NEED YOU NOW

NO MORE TIME FOR THE TELEPHONE
WE GOT A STRUGGLE TO GET HOME
IT'S JUST YOU AND ME
BELIEVING HEAVEN IS WHAT WE'LL SEE

WORDS FALL DOWN LIKE THUNDERSTORMS
PICTURES HOPE IN FRAMES
I CAN BE STRONG AS LONG \AS YOU
ARE IN MY ARMS

BRIDGE:

GOT ALL THESE DREAMS KNOCKIN ON MY DOOR
SO MANY PLACES I'VE NEVER BEEN BEFORE
I CAN'T FIND MY WAY TO TRUTH
WALKING IN THIS WORLD WITHOUT YOU

7. Higher Power Play
Higher Power
HIgher Power

Verse 1:

When your mind
Has too many thoughts to bare
When your soul
feels like it's going nowhere
When your heart
Has been trampled on the floor
I can show you a door

Verse 2:

When your eyes
Have seen all they can see
When your ears
Have heard all they can hear
When your love
Has given too much too soon
Somebody still loves you

Chorus:

You can go to the Higher Power
You can go to the Higher Power
You can go to the Higher Power
Set your spirit free

Verse 3:

When you've lost
More than you can lose
When you're forced
Down a path you didn't choose
When you scream
No one seems to care
Look to the Light upstairs

Verse 4:

When your search
Is void of all that's wise
When your dreams give away to time
When your hope
Feels like it's there no more
I can show you a door

(Chorus)

8. Missing You Play
Missing You
Missing You


Part of me missing you
Tonight comes to tuck me in
I can't explain missing you when my surroundings
Look the same
The memories of our words caress
My heart
Into the truth of missing you

A glass of wine passes time
Bittersweet w/o you here
My soul is weak , my body cold
For you're not here for me to hold
The imprints of the sheets caress
My soul
Into the truth of missing you

Chorus

La Da de Da da ( x3)

The sun don't shine
The moon won't beam
As long as your away from me
I close my eyes , I drift to sleep
Dreaming of you endlessly
The pictures in my mind caress
My flesh
Into the truth of missing you



Bridge

You'll be coming to me soon
And I won't need to be missing you
You'll be coming to me soon

Simple Eyes
SIMPLE EYES

I 'VE SEEN SOME BEAUTIFUL SNOW COVERED MOUNTAINS
I'VE SEEN SOME ANGRY STORMY DAYS
BUT NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I SEEN SUCH A FACE

I'VE HEARD SOME LOVELY SINGING IN THE TREE TOPS
I'VE LIVED IN THE HOT, DRY DESERT LAND
NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I SEEN SUCH A MAN

JUST ONE LOOK IN YOUR SIMPLE EYES AND I FALL
JUST ONE LOOK IN YOUR SIMPLE EYES AND I...LET DOWN MY WALLS
AS THE CLOUDS ROLL BY , DARKNESS TURNS TO LIGHT
FOR YOU AND I - I OFTEN PRAY
JUST ONE LOOK IN YOUR SIMPLE EYES AND I FALL

I'VE BEEN TO SOME SHINY , WHITE SANDY BEACHES
I'VE DREAMED OF FLYING AS I LOOKED UP ABOVE
NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I KNOWN SUCH A LOVE

JUST ONE LOOK IN YOUR SIMPLE EYES AND I FALL
JUST ONE LOOK IN YOUR SIMPLE EYES AND I...LET DOWN MY WALLS
AS THE CLOUDS ROLL BY , DARKNESS TURNS TO LIGHT
FOR YOU AND I - I OFTEN PRAY
JUST ONE LOOK IN YOUR SIMPLE EYES AND I FALL

SOUND OF STYLE COMPILATION CD REVIEW- SONG SELECTED FOR THIS CD WAS "HARD TIME TO SHINE"
Disc Two begins with "Shooting Stars" a simple elegant piano piece before the tempo takes an upturn with "Smooth". "That's Sexy" is sexy while ballad "Hard Time to Shine" quietly shines. Full Text
O'Connor has that kind of beautifully meek voice that belies a deeper strength, and makes you feel like you really are sharing a secret.
— — Barrierlife
Recommendation of The Secret Song from Amie Street -
Contemporary-to-the-core, Coco has a beguiling audio sound all ahead of her time. Highly recommended, she is fresh in melodies,energetic in dance and powerful in thought-provoking lyrics, all combined with wholesome values spiced with art.
— Paul Davis
Author
" O’Connor’s ethereal vocals lend this and several other tracks an airy, if not to say new agey, feel. Fans of light electronica will enjoy Transparent, just for its energy."
