Reach way on down in your soul
I hope you find everything that you're searching for
I'm on a one-way mission in life can't you see
All I got is this moment so don't persecute me
Oh no wo, Oh no
Brothers and sisters please listen to me
And realize that our moments are only fragments of eternity
Oh wo
So reach out with your love to those that you meet
We ain't got no time, so get shufflin' them feet
Oh no wo, Oh no
To get where you want, you got to get what you got
It's a long way to the top, don't you never stop oh no,
Oh, Oh
Reach way on down in your soul
I hope you find everything that you're searching for

If I Were God

If I were God
I'd make sure all the children were fed
And every person had a roof over their head
If I were God
Nobody would get cancer
Everyone would live in a manner befitting their personal freedom and inspiration
There would be no rules against dancing, or wearing dresses, or showing your head
Because everyone would be like "hey, we're freaky little mostly hairless monkeys, let's enjoy this time we've got!"
If I were God
There would be none of this war stuff
Because if I were God
Everytime you pulled a trigger, it wouldn't work
I'd make sure of that
If I were God
I'd make sure everybody knew
That I left you a planet
Oh my God you inherited a planet
Where everything is for you to take
As much as you want
Everything is for free
All you need to do is go out and hunt and gather it
I have provided you with it
You will not need to make things like shopping malls, and strip malls and subdivisions
If I were God
I'd have a problem
With the people that they say represent me
If I were God
We wouldn't need any of this bulldookie fighting all the time
When we realize that we are intergallactic pleasure machines
Equipped with all of the fuel we need for a lifetime of pleasure
Your born, then you live, and then you die
And that's OK
But all that other mess is a bunch of bulldookie
That's all I've got to say

I used to think I knew you
Till the day I flew away
What did you think I'd do
Once our love had grown in two
Rather move on than stay blue
I did every single thing I promised
Worked hard and did my children well
No matter what I did, it didn't matter
Nothing's gonna break your hardened hatred shell
So it's time to let go of all the former demons that we had
And maybe just be glad for, the times we had
Looking back it seems like a movie
From a foreclosed yesterday
Something we both lived through
But now time has gone on too
Had to move on or stay blue
I hope you found what you wanted
I sure know it wasn't me
And after all these years gone by
I don't regret that I did try
But I'm sure thankful that I did fly
So it's time to let go of all the former demons that we had
And maybe just be glad for, the times we had
And maybe just be glad for, the times we had
I used to think that I knew you

Hard Work

Hard work is comin' to your town
Don't let it get you down
Hard work it feels like misery
But in the end it's good for you and me
Hard work
Hard work
Hard Work
We strap our boots on and work every day
But I ain't doin' jack without the right pay
Minimum wage will get my minimum work
Treat your people right and don't be a jerk
Hard work
Hard work
Hard Work
Hard work has made us what we are
We must reward those who have took us this far
Hard work can bring us greatness you see
But only if work is rewarded fairly
Hard work
Hard work
Hard Work
Dignity and pay that covers the bills
That's all we're asking for so don't think we're shrill
Hard work is in our history
Treat the workers right and all shall be free
Hard work
Hard work
Hard Work

Oh lord this pain inside of me
Masks the smile, everyone sees
So many people, living without
Empathy
Oh lord this pain inside of me
Never stops weeping, for humanity
Never stops chasing, what they can
Never be
Why can't see
This human race
Is on a ball
Floating through space
With ever single thing we'll ever need
Oh lord this pain inside of me,
Never stops asking, why can't we see
The wondrous beauty, inside
You and me
Still there is a light, I can see
You know there's a lot of people out there,
Searching high and low for the silver lining
For a light at the end of this tunnel
No matter how hard they search
They'll find that that silver lining
Isn't so silver once they find it
Or that that light is just blinding
And they forget that the only thing that they've got is the here and now baby
It's all you got, the here and now
So love each other each and every single day
Teach the little children in the nursery
They don't have to grow up to live in misery
They can walk around in happiness
Instead of some God awful man made mess
Got to keep it together
Do what's best
Maybe the lord will help us with the rest
Na na na na
Oh lord we're singing, those blue planet blues

The beauty in you is divine
Inside and out your love's sublime
Can't imagine living in a space without your time
I remember on the day we met
Sumptuous beauty, skin of jet
Every moment with you, and not a one I do regret
I'm so glad I met you, I never will forget you
I just want to tell you what you mean to me
You bring me up when I am down
You flip my mood from frown to clown
I'm forever grateful for every second spent with you
And as our time on Earth goes by
I thank you for every sand of time
Every moment with you is a fleeting ecstasy
I'm so glad I met you, I never will forget you
I just want to tell you what you mean to me

Otis Goldsparks and The Arcs Washington
When Otis Goldsparks walked out of Baldwin State Prison in 2005 after spending 15 years incarcerated for a drug fueled crime
spree in and around Macon, Georgia, USA, he was a reformed man in more than one way.
The former child evangelist gone wrong bought into a new way of life while behind bars – the life of a soul singer.
