We Are Brothers

WE ARE BROTHERS

(Veazey)

black, white, brown, yellow or red
no matter what color skin
dark or light, pretty or not
we are all still human
like it or not, there is no escape
learn how to love and not hate

not from the same flesh and blood or
the same mother, but still we are brothers
not from the same flesh and blood
but still we are brothers

rich or poor, beggar or king
no matter how we live
house or shack, plenty or not
we still have so much to give
like it or not, there is no escape
learn how to love and not hate
we are so different yet we are alike
let's get together and live at peace alright

It's Gettin' Windy

IT'S GETTIN' WINDY

(Veazey)

first katrina, then came rita
swirling winds causing hysteria
double dose from off the coast
millions flee leaving their towns a ghost

it's gettin' windy tonight
gettin' windy all night
blizzard blindin', mesmirizin'
gettin' windy alright

tree uproots, house falls down
catastrophic damage all around
lives are doomed, whole towns are ruined
natural disaster for me and you

nowhere to hide, feelings of fright
hurricane wind, won't stay again
nowhere to hide, nowhere to…

Don't Let The Music Die In Ya'

DON'T LET THE MUSIC DIE IN YA'

(Gary, Veazey)

when you have something to say
a message to convey, a flame inside you
if you've a song to sing, or want to share
a thing or two then do
and do it while you are young
while you aren't so alone
while you're young and lively
because when you are old you may not be as
bold or you may die untimely

don't let the music die in ya'
don't keep it inside
open your heart, let them hear you sing
don't let the music die in ya', give it a chance
let the whole world hear your melody

if you have something to teach
then you have someone to reach
a mind to inspire
don't miss your big chance or
wait for the last dance
don't waste your heart's desire
go on and play them your tune
don't fear standing room
standing room only
because you may be a hit, may be known as it
the one and only

you dream all your life about something
you really want to do
follow your dream, don't hesitate,
don't wait until it's too late
let your talent out, let it shine, it's your time

The Giant Highlander

THE GIANT HIGHLANDER

(Veazey, Jones, Thomsen, Ti. Patterson, To. Patterson)

in a land far away, a long time ago
a giant man lived up in the mountains
twelve feet tall, plenty mean, so the story's told
he would wrestle bears and run down lions
on his head grew a mane of dark golden hair
his eyes shined like blue-green diamonds
on his back were his clothes of buckskin and
bear, his shoes made of nothing uncommon

i'm telling you the story
of a giant mountain man
he's a legend from a time in a dangerous land
i'm telling you the story of the highlander
then one day so they say there
was such a noise
the giant wondered what was the matter
a great big beast with sharp teeth
approached from the north
the animals got scared and they scattered
the giant met the beast and
with his great sword
cut the head off the invading marauder
on that day the people say
the legend was born
the legend of the giant highlander
i'm telling you the story of
a giant mountain man
he's a legend from a time in a dangerous land
i'm telling you the story of the highlander

When I See It In Your Eyes

WHEN I SEE IT IN YOUR EYES

(Veazey, Jones)

i'm no stranger to the ups and downs of love
my heart has been broken many times
i'm not jokin' all in the name of love
when i love you i don't want to be
your man of the week
an honest relation not a true confession
that is what i seek

if i'm supposed to give my heart
give my mind and give my soul
if i'm supposed to give it all
for this thing called love
then i have to know it's real
know it's true and know it's strong
when i see it in your eyes i will know it's love

i often wonder is that love in your eyes
or just lust
don't go through the motions make me cry
you an ocean, that's just meaningless
i won't like it if you love me for money
wealth or fame
don't take me for granted, make me feel
disrespected, love is not a game
love me baby, don't tell me that
the romance is gone
you know i have feelings, don't hurt them
i'm pleading, your eyes can't be wrong

if i'm supposed to give my heart
for this thing called love
when i see it in your eyes i will know it's love

Don't Ask The Question

DON'T ASK THE QUESTION

(Veazey, Gary)

damned if i don't, damned if i do
damned if i say what you want to hear
and damned if i don't, too
make up your mind, give me a break
i don't like this game you like to play
now stop it for pete's sake

you and i are headed for a shouting match
face to face with anger there's no turning back
i can think of only one solution
if you don't like my answer
then don't ask the question

how do you look, do you look okay
i think you look wonderful dear
the best you've looked all day
what do i mean, let me be clear
i refuse to answer until you
promise that you won't sneer

there's been times when i want to say
but i don't 'cause i know i will pay
so don't ask me any questions
i'm just too afraid, afraid you won't like
my answer and there'll be hell to pay
do i love you, do i really care
i will tell you when i feel like it
you should know that i care
why don't i tell you more than i do
i would tell you every day
but i'd be damned if i did that, too

Remember Me

REMEMBER ME

(Veazey)

i always thought that your love for me
meant that we'd be together
i never dreamed this would happen to me
that i'd be writing this letter
but here i sit hoping you won't forget
as you take some time to decide
what it is you want in your life

i won't forget what you meant to me
we had something real special
not a day goes by that i don't think of you
that's something my heart will wrestle
so here i sit hoping you won't forget
as you take some time to decide
what it is you want in your life

remember me when you're
lying in your bed alone
remember me when you're
staring at your telephone
remember me when you
feel that aching in your heart
and wish that we had never split apart

i know you need some time to sort things out
take as much time as you need
so there won't be any doubt
i'll be remembering you

Can't Get Away That Easy

CAN'T GET AWAY THAT EASY

(Veazey)

i remember the time i first wanted to kiss you
now it's been a long while
since i started to miss you

wo wo-oh, can't get away that easy

i close my eyes and what do i picture

all the good times
in my heart you're a fixture
wo wo-oh, can't get away that easy

you'll always be in my heart
even though we're apart
you can't get away that easy

A Moment In Time

A MOMENT IN TIME

(Veazey)

we were so young, oh so very young
you held my hand, i kissed your lips
it seemed so right, how could it be wrong
we didn't know that this would be
the start of it

a moment in time lasts an eternity
a moment in time burned in my memory

on through the years and through
all the tears we held the line time after time
and when it seemed we realized our fears
we find out our love would stand
the test of time

when i look at you the way you like me to
you see it in my eyes
every night and day, every time we play
it's time you realized
i won't forget your scent, nor the places we went
i won't forget the times
i won't forget your smile and while after while
i'll keep your kiss alive

Dreamin'

DREAMIN'

(Veazey)

as a ghost from out of my past
you stand in front of me
a love i thought would always last

as we touched 'twas like yesteryear
can't ignore the passion
the feeling i want you near

i must be dreamin'
'cause she is just like before
i must be dreamin'
'cause she wants to make it more

if they are, the feelings are true
or if it's just a dream
don't wake me, don't want to lose you

Man I've Never Known

MAN I'VE NEVER KNOWN

(Veazey)

with hair that flows like the mississippi
with a heart as pure as gold
her eyes so bright look deep inside me
found a man i've never known

let me hold you in my arms
and kiss you tonight, emily
don't let this moment slip away, emily

she makes me laugh like the kid i once was
makes me smile when we're alone
incredible the things that she does
for this man i've never known

Fragile

FRAGILE

(Veazey, Jones, Thomsen, Ti. Patterson, To. Patterson)

i'm a man with feelings
emotionally scarred, my heart is eggshell thin
i have glass emotions, they can shatter with
just one simple touch, not saying i'm unwilling
just a little hesitant & somewhat apprehensive
i know it's a gamble
to play to win against the odds

i'm fragile, the package is strong
but the contents are weak
i'm fragile, handle with care, baby
handle with care

don't know if i'll be able, could be mentally
unfit, declared mentally unstable
just one word of caution, may not be crazy
but there's no guarantee, my mind is racing
thoughts of paranoia
that my life is slowly wasting
searching for an answer
i'm pessimistic that there is one to find

i don't want to break apart
i don't want to break my heart
i don't want to piece it back together again

so be careful of my fragility
it's unrepairable, so breakable
as weak as can be
be careful of my fragility
it would mean so much to me

Old Glory

OLD GLORY

(Veazey, Jones)

a new world was discovered
some say by Chris Columbus
with the hope of finding treasure
found a diamond in the rough
this land that held great promise
was too great for royalty
it was destined for the people
this sweet land of liberty

red, white and blue, pledge allegiance to you
red, white and blue, stand up and salute you
stars and stripes, so many have paid the price
stars and stripes, symbol of a way of life

oh, say can you see, from sea
to shining sea, old glory

seeking religious freedom
the first came by sailing ship
with a promise of a future
free to live in peaceful bliss
this freedom wasn't easy
they fought for independence
the struggle turned to victory
this land's been free ever since

red, white and blue, pledge allegiance to you
red, white and blue, stand up and salute you
stars and stripes, so many have paid the price
stars and stripes, symbol of a way of life

oh, say can you see, from sea
to shining sea, old glory
U.S.A.

some try to put asunder this remarkable ideal
but their actions are futile
hard to break this iron will
this life and this liberty
this pursuit of happiness
have come to be admired
with sincere respectfulness

Revenge Of My Parents

REVENGE OF MY PARENTS

(Veazey, Jones)

you better be lookin' at me
when i'm talking to you
and don't you say you don't understand
it's an age-old tradition
handed down from you know who
makes no difference
if you're a woman or man
i don't set a good example, i don't practice
what i preach, don't do as i do, do as i say
this punishment i'm givin'
hurts me worse than it hurts you
you'll thank me when you're older someday

you're the spittin' image of me
revenge of my parents

go do your homework, no watchin' t.v.
say yes sir, no sir, yes ma'am, no ma'am
you say you didn't do it
but your lies we see through it
you can rot in jail i don't give a damn
always do as you're told and no talkin' back
no if's, and's or but's about it
if you don't like it here
you can always move out
mom and i aren't puttin' up with your shit

pick up your toys, go mow the grass
clean up your room
take out the trash, you're making me mad
you're making me shout
i brought you into this world i'll take you out

Peace Now

PEACE NOW

(Veazey)

we climb the highest mountain
reach the top and look down
raise our hands to the heavens and scream
look what we've done now

all we want is peace now

we cross the widest desert
reach the end and look back
with a hand full of sand we shout
this is all that's left

all we want is peace now

so much war in our lives today
to last us a lifetime
no war in our lives today
would give us all peace of mind
