Des'ree Album

He wants to rule the world but can he on his own?
First he's got to find his Queen to share his golden throne
He'll know he's met her when their spirits face to face
Then they can rule the world and heal the human race

Because he only wants to be a hero
He wants to fly but his wings won't let him go
He wants to travel but don't wanna go solo
Daddy when I grow up I want to be a silent hero

Standing by a legacy that wasn't very bad
Chained to a history that wasn't always sad
His Mother and his Father said that boy you should be glad
He had pride and respect for everything he had

Shadows persue me, confusing my life
Causing me grief, sometimes causing me strife
Enjoy your youth 'cause it doesn't last very long
Do you know the words to your song

Daddy when I grow up I want to be a silent hero
Daddy when I grow up I want to be a silent hero
I am a hero, You are a hero,
He be a hero, She be a hero¡­

Wake up, greet the angels
Sit back and wipe your eyes
Treat yourself to a facial, just by smiling
Slow down, you move too quickly
You've got to take the time
To touch and smell the flowers,
They're beautiful,yeah

Dum di dum di diiie
Dum di dum di diiie
Dum di dum di diiie take it in your stride
Dum di dum di diiie anytime you like
Dum di dum di diiie you can get a life

We know, life is tricky
Look it straight in the eye
Marley spoke of a revival, Exodus yeah

Stand back, stand back,
Look around, look around
What do you see? What do you see?
This is such a great dream
Breathe in, breathe out, take it in, all the way
This is such a great, such a beautiful,
Oh ho, oh ho, yeah, yeah

In the blink of an eye, you can get a life
When you decide, you can get a life

Love is my passion
Love is my friend
Love is universal
Love never ends

Then why am I faced with so much anger, so much pain?
Why should I hide? Why should I be ashamed?
Time is much too short to be living somebody elses life
I walk with dignity, I step with pride

'Cos I ain't movin' from my face, 
from my race, from my history
I ain't movin' from my love, 
my peaceful dove, it means too much to me
Loving self can be so hard
Honesty can be demanding
Learn to love yourself,
it's a great, great feeling

When your down baby, I will set you free
I will be your remedy, I will be your tree
A wise man is clever, seldom ever speaks a word
A foolish man keeps talking, never is he heard

Time's too lonely, too lonely without words
Future voices need to be heard
Eyebrows are always older than the beards
Momma said be brave, you've nothing to fear

I ain't movin', I've been here long before
I ain't movin', 'cos I want more
I ain't movin', got my feet on the ground
As far as I'm concerned, love should win the rounds

They were young, children of the golden sun
Oh , the love they knew, bore no heavy chains
She was coy, played games with her little boy
On his heart she signed her name

Innocent and naive, tenderness would see them through,
yeah

Now he's a man she's no longer a little girl
Passion and desire came to play
Sister knew, mother didn't have a clue
From each other, they couldn't stay away

Innocent and naive, tenderness would see them through,
yeah

Now they're old, the fire they know will never burn cold,
Their love burns alive
She's still sweet, he still kisses her tender feet
They know their love will survive

Innocent and naive, tenderness will see them through

One rainy day, chivalry walked up to me
Asking for directions to a good time
Dashing was his smile, responded I instinctively
Accept the invitation for a while

I couldn't get away, I sipped the wine, I wanted more
He was psychological addiction, I bowed my head to pray
But the devil said "girl, stay and play"
I was so exposed, had no protection

He had: warm hands, cold heart
Tryin' to love and tryin' to please
Wit, charm, a head start, almost brought me to my knees
Warm hands, cold heart, trying to love a better day
Almost spirited me away

My will left home, packed its bags and flew away
Dashing was my succour, was my weakness
I was so alone, would have stayed that way a thousand days
I enjoyed his bitter, not his sweetness

He was messin' with my psyche, he was playin' with my mind
Adventure and excitement, can be hard to find
But the pleasure in the danger, was so intoxicating
I had to break away. Yeah, yeah, yeah

Warm hands, cold heart
Wit, charm, head start
Warm hands, cold heart
Wit, charm, head start

Love is my passion
Love is my friend
Love is universal
Love never ends

Then why am I faced with so much anger, so much pain?
Why should I hide? Why should I be ashamed?
Time is much too short to be living somebody elses life
I walk with dignity, I step with pride

'Cos I ain't movin' from my face, 
from my race, from my history
I ain't movin' from my love, 
my peaceful dove, it means too much to me
Loving self can be so hard
Honesty can be demanding
Learn to love yourself,
it's a great, great feeling

When your down baby, I will set you free
I will be your remedy, I will be your tree
A wise man is clever, seldom ever speaks a word
A foolish man keeps talking, never is he heard

Time's too lonely, too lonely without words
Future voices need to be heard
Eyebrows are always older than the beards
Momma said be brave, you've nothing to fear

I ain't movin', I've been here long before
I ain't movin', 'cos I want more
I ain't movin', got my feet on the ground
As far as I'm concerned, love should win the rounds

Little child, my eyes they see your pain
My heart cries, when I hear you cry again
Frail and small, can you believe fifteen years old?
What is sad, he hasn't got far to go, oh oh, no no¡­

Yes, we'll cry, yes we'll cry
Our hearts they feel no hate
Babies scream, babies scream
they'll never achieve their dreams
Shall we dance? Yes we'll dance
the sky will hear our song
And maybe rain¡­
'cos it's been much too long

Mother's die, leaving hungry mouths behind
They can't hold on, when God wants them by His side
It's up to me, it's up to you
Visualize and pray, is what we mustn't forget to do

Dry land, open up and let me in
Dry land, look what is happening
You know, there is plenty, plenty,
plenty of work to do
This can't go down as another disaster in history¡­

I like the meaning of your name
Are you aware, are you the same?
It goes with your eyes, your sentiment,
I like your name, Ezekiel
You're so serene it makes me mad
You're never down, ain't never sad
You won the pools, I bet you're glad
Your smile is fresh, Ezekiel

Looking philosophical
Looking philosophical
Sitting fresh faced over there, with broken sighs his heart
Speaks out to answer me
For I am the interpreter, of his dreams

Daydreaming makes your tea go cold
Gold earrings make my face look bold
Your compliments are never old,
Let's drink a toast, Ezekiel
God will strengthen all your love,
So pure, so kind, so noble love
You smell so sweet, like lavender buds
You smell so sweet

Can I come inside of your dreams?
Your vivid and exciting dreams
I'm not a timid as I seem, can I come in Ezekiel

My, my, my Ezekiel, shine your smile Ezekiel
Chat a while Ezekiel, you can count on me

Oh, I love the way you smile, come and sit and talk a while,
You can say that I love your style, you can count on me

Sitting down in the back of my mind
Taking a trip on time
Homing in on discoveries, will I ever find what's mine
Time speeds on like a bullet train, 
sometimes leaving me behind
Don't want life to pass me by, 
I'm gonna find my path to climb

I need a caring world, a caring world
Will you hear me when I cry
I need a caring world, a caring world
Please don't leave me high and dry

He said, do yourself a favour girl
Sit down, seek peace, set free
Release tension and anxiety - 
you don't want living in your tree
Talk and I will listen, I will help you if I can
You know everything is written,
in the palm of your right hand

I need a caring world, a caring world
Will you catch me when I fall
I need a caring world, a caring world
I want it all, I want it all

Free, free, free, free

There's a tone in the sound of your voice
My heart is listening to
And a message inside of your mind, I can relate to
The feeling inside of your soul, I am feeling
Maybe soulmates exist after all

There's an energy inside your smile that shines upon me
And the positive sides of your dreams, I am dreaming
Simple understanding is what I need, hey, hee hey
Maybe soulmates exist after all

I realised early on, good and bad in life, have a meaning
And I tried, oh to be strong, until I die, I'll still be learning
But your spirit and your vibe, touched me deeply down inside
I was wrong, you were there all along

Ooh, the feel of your hand when you touch is electricity
You make me feel good, you make me dizzy
Love that's demanding, is what I need, hey, hee hey!
Maybe soulmates exist after all
Maybe soulmates exist after all

I realised early on, good and bad in life, have a meaning
And I tried, oh to be strong, until I die, I'll still be learning
But your spirit and your vibe, touched me deeply down inside
I was wrong, you were there all along
You were there baby all along
I believe, I believe

Show me your company
Come and tell me who you be
I'll try and take things easy

I'll be loose I'll be carefree
I'm living for tomorrow not today
Gotta make my plans so in case
I'll be prepared when I see you you smiling

(Chorus) 'Cause I feel so when I'm reaching out for your sky
I've boundless energy. I fell I could run a million miles
I'm riding on the wheel of fortune taking me to places far and free
I feel so high when I approach your sky

When I touch your sky, I want my joy to be discreet
Can't seem to to hide the feeling that you knock me from my seat
When I'm talking with my friends, you're the subject every time
I know I bore them but they do it to me sometimes

I've seen you exposed your thoughts are nude
Come on take off your pride baby
You should wash your attitude
I'm sitting here watching you baby
Trying to pretend your cool and calm
Come on now you can tell me baby
Did the gypsy read your palm

(Chorus)

I feel so high, when I'm touching your sky baby
I feel so high
I feel so high, when I'm touching your sky baby
I feel so high yeah, yeah
I feel so high, when I'm touching your sky baby
I feel so high

Listen as your day unfolds 
Challenge what the future holds 
Try and keep your head up to the sky 
Lovers, they may cause you tears 
Go ahead release your fears 
Stand up and be counted 
Don't be ashamed to cry 
You gotta be 
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold 
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard 
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger 
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm 
You gotta stay together 
All I know, all I know, love will save the day 
Herald what your mother said 
Readin' the books your father read 
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time 
Some may have more cash than you 
Others take a different view 
My oh my heh, hey 
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold 
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard 
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger 
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm 
You gotta stay together 
All I know, all I know, love will save the day 
Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you 
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace 
The world keeps on spinning 
You can't stop it, if you try to 
This time it's danger staring you in the face 
Oh oh oh Remember 
Listen as your day unfolds 
Challenge what the future holds 
Try and keep your head up to the sky 
Lovers, they may cause you tears 
Go ahead release your fears 
My oh my heh, hey, hey 
You gotta be 
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold 
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard 
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger 
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm 
You gotta stay together 
All I know, all I know, love will save the day 
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold 
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard 
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger 
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm 
You gotta stay together 

I'm afraid of the dark
'specially when I'm in a park
And there no one else around,
Oh I get the shivers.
I don't want to see a ghost,
It's the sign that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast and
Watch the evening news.

Chorus:
Life, oh life, oh life doo,
Doot doot dooo. Life, oh life, oh life,
Oh life doo doot doo.

I'm a superstitious girl
I'm tha worst in the world
Never walk under the ladders, I keep
A rabbit's tail. I'll take you up on the dare,
Anytime, anywhere; Name the place,
I'll be there, bungee jumping,
I don't care!

Chorus

So after all said and done
I know I'm not the only one
Life indeed can be fun, If you really want to.
Sometimes living out your dreams,
Ain't as easy as it seems
You wanna fly around the world,
In a beautiful balloon.

Chorus (x2)

Doo doot doo doot. Repeat
