SPIRIT - THE FAMILY THAT PLAYS TOGETHER
I GOT A LINE ON YOU
Let me take you, baby
Down to the riverbed
Got to tell you something
Go right to your head
I got a line on you, baby
I got a line on you
I got a line on you
I got a line on you, baby
Gotta put your arms around me
With every bit of your love
If you know what to do
I'll make love to you
If we got through our lines
We'll get through these times
I got a line on you, baby
I got a line on you
I got a line on you, baby
I got a line on you
Ah, winter's almost over
The summer she's comin' on strong
I can love you, love you, love you
Love you all year long
I got a line on you, baby
I got a line on you
I got a line on you, baby
I got a line on you
IT SHALL BE
In the future soon
Beauty will find you
And all of mankind
Together binding you and me
It shall be
In the future soon
Beauty will find you
And all of mankind
Together binding you and me
It shall be
POOR RICHARD
Remarking on the freshness of garbage
With each and every person that he meets
And debating on the price of admission
While someone is lying, dying in the street
Or understanding all the manner of people
The city of mine is such a lonely place to live and live and live......
SILKY SAM
Silky Sam was a gambling man
And the cards all would dance in his hand
The stars would shine just to make a lucky sign
So you'd understand
Silky Sam was a travelling man
And he went from town to town
He's pass you by with the world all in his eye
And his ear close to the ground
Sha La Laaaa La Laa Laa Laa Laa
Sha La Laa La Laaaa
Sha La Laaaa La Laa Laa Laa Laa
Laaaa Laaaa Laaaa Laaaa Laaaa
Silky Sam was a joke telling man
And you'd laugh just to be at his side
He'd please the crowd and he always smiled out loud
But alone and all inside
Do you know that silky cried
Sha La Laaaa La Laa Laa Laa Laa
Sha La Laa La Laaaa
Sha La Laaaa La Laa Laa Laa Laa
Laaaa Laaaa Laaaa Laaaa Laaaa
Silky Sam was a gambling man
And the cards all would dance in his hand
The stars would shine just to make a lucky sign
So you'd understand
Silky
Silky Sam
Oh Silky
Silky Sam
Oh Silky
Silky Sam
Silky Sam
Silk Silk Silk Silk Silky Sam
Silky Sam
Oh Silky Sam
DRUNKARD
His coat was torn and tattered, his face was full of red
And nothing seemed to matter, as he put himself to bed
And he didn't know the meaning of it all
He wasn't home that evening when his daughter came to call
And he didn't see the message that she left upon the wall
And he didn't know the meaning of it all
He looked into the streetlamps, all shinning in the rain
And he thought of all the faces that he'd never see again
And he didn't know the meaning of it all
DARLIN' IF
Darlin' if you would love me
And if you know how I feel
If you'd do anything for me woman
To help me understand
And help me live again
Darlin' it would never never be the same
Without you
Now that you know how I feel
And you know that what you see is real
Would you do anything for me woman
To help me understand
And help me live again
Oh darlin' it would never, never be the same without you
Now that you know how I feel
And you know that what you see is real
Would you do anything for me woman
To help me understand
And help me live again
Darlin' it would never, never be the same without you
IT'S ALL THE SAME
Someone here will try to waste your time
And someone there will try to lead you blind
Life seems to be wandering 'round and 'round
Searching for the that which can be found
It's you, you, you
It's me, me, me
It's you and me babe we're all the same
And if you ever ask me if it's real
I couldn't tell you more than what you feel
You learn to read and write and spell your name
And find out in the end it's all the same
It's you, you, you
It's me, me, me
It's you and me babe we're all the same
Someone here will try to waste your time
And someone there will try to lead you blind
Life seems to be wandering 'round and 'round
Searching for the that which can be found
It's you, you, you
It's me, me, me
Well, it's you and me babe we're all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same

Hine ma tov u'Mah-Nayim
Shevet akh-im gam ya-chad
Shalom
u'Mah-Nayim hine ma tov
Shevet akh-im gam ya-chad
Shalom
Hine ma tov u'Mah-Nayim
Shevet akh-im gam ya-chad
Shalom
[Literal Translation]
Hine mah tov1 = Behold how good (masculine)
u'Mah-Nayim2 = and how pleasing (feminine)
Shevet akh-im gam ya-chad3 = if brothers (people) could sit together in unity
1 In Hebrew, the masculine also includes the feminine when a mixed group of people are concerned
2 ya-chad is from the word Yachid which means absolute unity and has a higher connotation than just peace and harmony.
3 The question is asked in the Talmud, "How can you describe HaShem (God)" and the reply is "Yachid" (absolute unity)
It is for this reason that the word "Yachad" has a higher connotation in that it also implies unity with the Creator and not just with other people.
Simply put, it implies an ascended level of universal consciousness.
(Translated, the hymn means, "How good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity.")
(Origins: Its lyrics are the beginning of Psalm 133, which reads, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!")
DREAM WITHIN A DREAM
Standing on a mountain top
She's looking to the sea above her
Dream within a dream
And it twice removes her will to wonder
I'm home, my soul, my soul, newborn baby cries
Stepping off this mortal coil will be my pleasure
Giving the gift that giving brings to be my pleasure
Sitting in a room of wood
Rainbows pouring through the laughter
Dream within a dream
It recalls the sound of younger laughter
I'm home, my soul, my soul, newborn baby cry
Stepping off this mortal coil will be my pleasure
Giving the gift that giving brings to be my pleasure
Stepping off this mortal coil
Stepping off this mortal coil
Stepping off this mortal coil
Stepping off this mortal coil
Stepping off this mortal coil
Stepping off this mortal coil
SHE SMILES
Look at her there
She's sitting in her comfortable chair
The flowers slipping down through her hair
She smiles
Ahh Ahh Ahh Aahhhh Aahhhh
Well watch her pass by
She's careful just to keep her spirits high
And though there's no more apple in her eye
She smiles
Ahh Ahh Ahh Aahhhh Aahhhh
Well what would you do if the clock ran backwards
And over the wall was a magic mirror
To see
Aahhhh Aahhhh Aahhhh
But she understands
And lets the music run from her hands
And makes a friend so feel so very grand
She smiles
Ahh Ahh Ahh Aahhhh Aahhhh
AREN'T YOU GLAD
Aren't you glad, you glad, you glad baby?
Yes I'm glad, so glad, I'm glad baby
Don't you know, you know, you know baby?
Yes I know, I know, it's so baby
Who'd you say you needed direction
But in your house the word was correction
Ahh, Aren't you glad, you glad, you glad baby?
Yes I'm glad, so glad, I'm glad baby
Don't you know, you know, you know baby?
Yes I know, it's got to go baby
Streets are yours you're feeling much bolder
But Summer has gone but Autumn is over
Now
Aren't you glad, you glad, you glad baby?
Yes I'm glad, so glad, I'm glad baby
Aren't you glad, you glad, you glad baby?
Yes I'm glad, so glad, I'm glad baby
Aren't you glad, you glad, you glad baby?
Aren't you glad, you glad baby?
