Six Degrees Music by Brett Wade Lyrics by Glenda Rae
One degree of separation
Is all that keeps me on my feet
some days I move in closer
to any man down on the street
When we can't stand to look at truth different for our beliefs
It's six degrees of separation
Keeping you from me
I'm still searchin'
Searching for answers
I'm holding' on
with what's left of me
The way this world is changing
Is takin' a toll
But I'm searching
for a remedy
Some days I go down deep beneath the skin a living shield
Each link of human chain
claims a piece of me
We're just steps away joined by ties that we can't see
Six degrees of separation binds you to me.
I'm still searchin'
Searching for answers and
I'm holding' on
with what's left of me
The way this world is changing'
Is takin' a toll
But I'm searching
for a remedy
I'm searching for a (Everyday)
I'm searching for a (Everyday)
I'm searching for a (Everyday)
I'm searchin' for you and me
I'm searching for a (Everyday)
I'm searching for a (Everyday)
I'm searching for a (Everyday)
I'm searching for you and me
One degree of separation
and I'm still getting what I need
Halfway through today tomorrow's truth and complexity'
Like a river change is comin' from somewhere deep inside of me
no degree of separation cause love is the remedy
t
I'm searching for a (Everyday)
I'm searching for a (Everyday)
I'm searching for a (Everyday)
I'm searching way down deep
I'm searching for a (Everyday)
I'm searching for a (Everyday)
I'm searching for a (Everyday)
Searching for a change
I'm searching for a (Everyday)
I'm searching for a (Everyday)
I'm searching for a (Everyday)
you and me

BEING HUMAN
Brett Wade/Glenda Rae
Socan 2009
Verse1
Got the last seat
Check my face in the glass
On the east train
The one that goes for miles
Tired faces, happy smiles
Every time they meet
Verse 2
A voice from a speaker
Says the next stop is...
missed that one again
Hope it's not mine
I can't stop this ride
Into the sky
Hey, Hey, Hey
What'd she say
Hey, hey, hey
My human state
Verse 2
A good looking boy
With a daddy's little girl
maybe 15
California style
No umbrella no coat,
On a rainy night
Verse 3
They don't know I'm here
They don't know a thing
But each other's eyes
One warm hug
The touch of wet skin
And a sad goodbye
Hey, Hey, hey
Words they say
Hey, hey, hey
Colours fade
Hey, hey, hey
Love's at stake
Hey, hey, hey
Give and take
Mmmm
Verse 3
You and me we're here
A few seats back
further down the road
Life's been good
life's been hard
We say and smile
Verse 4
I wouldn't go back
Wouldn't live it all again
For a thousand tries
I am who I am
I like who I am
On this rainy night
Hey, hey, hey
I've been played
Hey, hey hey
Heart break games
Hey, hey hey
Put my faith
hey, hey, hey
In love fake
Hey, hey, hey
Love's at stake
Hey, hey, hey
Give and take
Hey, hey, hey
Colours fade
Hey, hey, hey
A human state

I BELIEVE
Verse1:
Hey love how can you hide from me
The emptiness your feeling
You get caught up sometimes I know your sky
Comes falling out of nowhere
Chorus:
I believe
Believe in you
You know I believe
I believe
Believe in you
Baby I believe
(When you see me you know life is better
When you see me hang on baby
When you see me you know we're together
When you see me standin' there)
Verse 2
Now you don't have to run too far
To lose your pain somewhere
Cause, I'll be here to catch you just before
The quick sand pulls you down again
I believe
Believe in you
You know I believe
I believe
Believe in you
Baby I believe
I believe
In you and me
You know I believe
I believe
In you and me
Baby I believe
And when you see me there
Know I believe
Believe in you
I know your sun will shine again
You know that I believe
(When you see me you know life is better
When you see me hang on baby
When you see me you know we're together
When you see me standin' there)
When I see you lying
Then there's no denying
When you feel my love coming over you
When I see you lying
And I feel your fire
Then I know it's love come over you
Outro
Hey love I'll be right here for you
I'll always be around for you

The Last Dance
04:18
|
|||
It’s a strange feeling with a mile to go
It’s an unknown spot. It’s not a place I know
When the last dance is on an uneven floor
Just take one brave step. No one wrote any more.
There’s a sea of souls in a downward flow
to an unknown place they’ve never been before.
It’s a most peculiar dance on a moving floor.
Just take one more step. They didn’t write any more.
I don’t wanna loose your light.
I don’t want the day or night.
I wanna move within your arms.
I don’t want a vague reply
Or even know the reason why
we come here.
It’s a lost wager to try and go alone
It’s a vast desert, it’s a moral free zone
Your lying thoughts, just draggin you through
A mirage of words and mystical moves
Is this the time to stand and fight
a simple choice of wrong or right
I’m asking you
It seems a long time coming round
Truth cuts right through space and sound
It’s screaming!
Is this the time to stand and fight
a simple choice of wrong or right
I’m asking you.
It seems a long time coming round
Truth cuts right through space and sound
It’s screaming!
It’s a strange feeling with a mile to go.
In an unknown spot, it’s not a place I know.
When this last dance is on an uneven floor
with just one more step, no one wrote any more.
It’s the last dance
It’s the last dance
It’s the last dance
It’s the last dance
It’s the last dance
It’s the last dance

Look My Way
04:03
|
|||
The years have treated you so kind
Can't find my voice each time I try
To make you laugh and keep it light
When you look my way
Steppin' off that movie screen
20 years of actors and queens
Back stage parties, magazines
Written on your face
When you look my way
Just hold out for something
and hold on to anything
Ya, talk is good but I'm here
So hold on to me
When you see my face
When you look my way
I remember '88
Karaoke fools on stage
Dressed in yellow lemonade
When I see your face
It seems like you don't ever change
And I can't ever to stay the same
I clean up but still show my age
When I see your face
When you look my way
Just hold out for something
And hold on to anything
Ya, talk is good but I'm here
So hold on to me
When you see my face
When you look my way
Just hold out for something
And hold on to anything
Ya, talk is good but I'm here
So hold on to me
Just hold out for someone
And hold on to that someone
Ya, talk is good but I'm here
So hold on to me
When you see my face
When you look my way
If you see my face
When you look my way
Every time you look my way

He, he got the whole thing going
He, he got the whole thing going
You know he, he got the whole thing going
You know he, he got the whole thing going
Verse 1
He got the whole world lookin' on
In case you wonder, he'll say they can't shake me down
I've got the stride and the pretty
They've never failed me
So baby, watch me tear up this town
Chorus 2
You know he, he got the whole thing going
He, he got the whole thing going
Verse 2
He got the whole room standing still
Their jaws dropping, as his highness steps on the floor
He nods and he smiles basking in the aura
As everybody snickers and frowns

You know he, he got the whole thing going
He, he got the whole thing going
You know he, he got the whole thing going
You know, know he, he got the whole thing going
solo

He, he got the whole thing going
He, he got the whole thing going

What You Gonna Do Now
by: Brett Wade and Glenda Rae
He'll leave you thinking
He'll keep you asking
Shelton, Jackson Lee
Who knew that you'd reveal
Cold political ties
You can shine a light
For all the human race
on our blind side
Academy awards
For "a Spike Lee Joint"
And a jazz man's son
American boy
You take it to the mat
When the wagging tongue lies
Hey what ya gonna do now?
He'll leave you wonderin
Till you love or hate him
You don't care much
For glamour's shiny touch
Of the Hollywood kind
You strip it right down
For sexism and clowns'
warm addiction high
Eyes shooting glances
Interracially romance us
Till the fire light dies
You rock me in the arms
of a steel hard soul
Stomping right down on the light
Hey what ya gonna do now?
Some folks smile with angry eyes
that look your way
They would like to change you know that
Life don't work that way
You got a vision, try to do the right thing
Open up our eyes
To a view of the world from down on the street
No alibi's
You got a dream that the truth should be seen
Open up our minds
To the stories that you tell leave me wanting more
Ya just one thing
Hey what ya gonna do now?
It's that Spike Lee
Who knows how to reveal
All that whitewash hides
He will shine a light
For all the human race
on our blind side
A gangsta cameo
the teacher on his game
lovin' basketball highs
Outspoken words
For the truth that you know
In enlightened times
Hey what ya gonna do now?
He'll leave you thinking
He'll leave you fuming
He'll leave you wanting
He'll leave you lovin
Hey what ya gonna do Now?
Cause some folks smile with angry eyes
then look your way
They would try to change you know that
Life don't work that way
Some folks smile with thankful eyes
Shake your hand and say
I'd never want anything to change but
Life don't work that way
Hey what ya gonna do now?

Wonderkind
You Know it’s hotter than fire
You Know it’s hotter than Fire
The world had to change
1950 when you checked in
Born 13th of May
A Wonderkind in Michigan
Words of love, blind faith
Positivity
I shut my eyes
See what you see
And look within
When you sing
The world seems so much brighter
When you play
No funky soul could go much deeper
So sing on brother/ You know it’s hotter than
Takin' us higher/ you know it’s hotter than
Play on brother
You've got to keep on
Just like this. You Know it’s hotter than fire
Hotter Than July, Inner visions
We celebrate them /hotter than July
Masterworks, blind eyes,
Excess of oxygen
You're a gift, a man, a prodigy. You Know it’s hotter than
Livin out your life
with What the fuss?
Energy
When you sing
The world seems so much brighter
When you play
No funky soul could go much deeper
So sing on brother
Takin' us higher /Red Hot
Play on brother
You've got to keep on
just like this
hotter
When you sing
The world seems so much brighter
When you play
No funky soul could go much deeper
When you sing
I'm lost in Wonder
When you play
I thank God there's nothin' better
So sing on brother
Takin' us higher
Ya play on brother
You've got to keep on
You've got to keep on

SOON by Glenda Rae & Brett Wade
Soon you'll be feeling better
Want to make you laugh again
Soon you'll be feeling something
You've got to walk through the door
Soon you could come back to life
that's the way it goes just like before
Soon you can say it was nothing
Fragile words just loud enough to say
Stay, stay
You can do anything but I can't be alone
Stay, stay
Stay with me until the light
Verse 2
Soon we can talk about it
We could try for words again
Soon we could sit in the silence
rivers of tears flowing down
Soon you could tell the story
Leave it there with nothing unsaid
Soon you could say what you want to
Fragile words loud enough to say
Stay, stay
You can do anything but I can't be alone
Stay, stay
Stay with me until it's light
Verse 3
Soon you'll forget about it
Want to help you love again
Soon you'll be feeling nothing
But an end to pain and all that's been
Soon you could come back to life
like then was now and now was then
Soon you could say it was something
Fragile fears and memories that fade
Stay, stay
You can do anything but I can't be alone
Stay, stay
Holding me until the light
Stay, Stay
You know everything and I can't be alone
Stay stay
Bring me safely through the night

Jimmy walks on a straight white line
With a light held in his hand
Jimmy knows he’s got to walk that way
Gotta do the very best he can
Jimmy walks on a straight white line
With a light held in his hand
Jimmy knows he’s got to walk that way
Gotta do the very best he can
Oo Oo Jimmy, Oo Oo Oo

No big plans to change the world
One foot in front of the other
No big name he makes no claim
Just one voice this is his choice
He’ll always walk this way
Jimmy walks on a straight white line
With a light held in his hand
Jimmy knows he’s got to walk that way
Gotta do the very best he can
Jimmy smiles in adversity
While the world world’s jumpin’ ship
Jimmy knows that we can’t see
So he keeps his candle lit
Light so strong pulls you along
And lights the way for some others
They walk his way and keep his pace
They hear his voice and make their choice
They’ll always walk his way
Jimmy walks on a straight white line
With a light held in his hand
Jimmy knows he’s got to walk that way
Got to do the very best he can
Oo Oo Jimmy Oo Oo Oo
Oo Oo Jimmy do the very best you can
Sometimes it seems his road is long
Sometimes it seems his road can’t be right
Can’t find his light but we keep following Jimmy
Solo
Jimmy walks on a straight white line
With a light held in his hand
Jimmy knows he’s got to walk that way
Got to do the very best he can
Oo Oo Jimmy Oo Oo Oo
Oo Oo Jimmy do the very best you can
