"Feeling Good"

Birds flying high,
you know how I feel.

Sun in the sky,
you know how I feel.
Breeze driftin' on by, 
you know how I feel.

 It's a new dawn,

It's a new day,
It's a new life,
For me,
And I'm feeling good.

Fish in the sea,

you know how I feel.
River running free,

you know how I feel.
blossom in the trees,

you know how I feel.
It's a new dawn,

It's a new day,
It's a new life,
For me,
And I'm feeling good.

Nothing Even Matters

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now the skies could fall
Not even if my boss should call
The world it seems so very small
'Cause nothing even matters at all

Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters at all
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters at all

"You Take My Breath Away"
A tree, a rock, a cloud, a sky blue day
A bird in flight, the night,
the milky way,
Beta gammas, silk pajamas,
Sunday mornings,
Ooh, you take my breath away
You take it away

Hello, good-bye, a sign
that I love you
A runny nose, a rose, the ocean blue Children playing, people praying, 
hallelujah,
Ooh, you take my breath away
You take it away

Sunny days,
soft rain falling
Crystal bells I love to hear ring,
Summer days, blue birds calling
Don't look now,
but love's around to stay

A tear, a smile, a laugh along the way The world at dawn, a song,
the month of May

Woody Herman, Ethel Merman,
Stevie Wonder
Ooh you take my breath away 
You take it away

                 "As"
As around the sun the earth
knows she's revolving.
And the rosebuds know to
bloom in early May.
Just as hate knows love's the cure,
you can rest your mind assure,
that I'll be loving you always.

"Your Daddy Loves You"

Now sweet lil ol' brown eyed girl,
 hey, now,
Now that you're sleepin',
I've got a confession to make,
Of secrets that I've been keepin'.
Me and your mama
had someproblems,
A whole lotta things on our minds.
But lately, girl,
 we've been thinkin'
that we were wastin' time
Nearly all the time,
and,
Your daddy loves you
Your daddy loves his girl
Your daddy loves you
Your daddy loves his girl, hey now.

"Precious"     
        by Esperanza Spalding

Love me or leave me,
But please don't deceive me,
And say you love me how I am.
You love the way I fit some ideal
Not the real woman 
You've yet to understand.
See love ain't all heaven,
And I am no angel,
But I do the best I can.

You always wanted something
More from my body.
And said you needed something
More from my loving.
But all you got was me 
And that's all that I can be,
I'm sorry if it let you down.

"What About Your Friends" by TLC

Every now and then I get a little crazy,
That's not the way it's supposed to be.
Sometimes my vision is a little hazy,
I can't tell who I should trust or
just who I let trust me (yeah).

People try to say I act a little funny,
But that's just a figure of speech to me.
They tell me I changed because I got money,
But if you were there before
then you're still down with me

Chorus:
What about your friends,
Will they stand their ground.
Will they let you down hey.
What about your friends
Are they gonna be low down,
Will they ever be around
or will they turn their backs on you.

"Hard Times" by Run DMC

Hard times are spreading,
Just like the flu,
Watch out homeboy,
Don't let it catch you
P-p-prices go up,
Don't let your pocket go down
When you got short money,
You're stuck on the ground

Turn around, get ready,
Keep your eye on the prize
And be on point, for the future shock
Hard times.
Hard times.

Hard times are coming to your town
So stay alert,
Don't let them get you down.
They tell you times are tough,
You hear that times are hard,
But when you work for that ace
You know you pulled the right card,
Hard times,
Got my pockets all in chains,
I'll tell you what, homeboy,
It don't have my brain,
All day I have to work, at my peak
Because I need that dollar
Every day of the week,
Hard times.

"Ah Yeah" by Robert Glasper ft. 
    Musiq Soulchild & Chrisette Michelle

I think beauty's overrated,
'Cause that's something anyone can be. 
Attraction now that's something different,
And thankfully you're both to me.
