"A Love Story" (2019)

Don't Be Afraid lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

You'd given up on your hopes, on your dreams
You let them go, fell apart at the seams
How do you start building fire again?
When you're scared of the hurt, terrified of the pain

So don't be afraid of your heart that's guiding you
Don't be afraid of your heart
Don't be afraid of your heart that's driving you
Don't be afraid of your heart

You realize that your life is on the line
Friends try to help, feeling they're being kind
Where do you go for the peace that you need
Where do you go to feel free?

So don't be afraid of your heart that's guiding you
Don't be afraid of your heart
Don't be afraid of your heart that's driving you
Don't be afraid of your heart

Finding the courage to be brave
Keeping the faith can be hard, so hard
Love is the drug that you crave
You've always been on your guard, your guard

So don't be afraid of your heart that's guiding you
Don't be afraid of your heart
Don't be afraid of your heart that's driving you
Don't be afraid of your heart

I believe in you (everyday, everyday)
I believe in you (every way, every way)
I believe in you (yes I do, yes I do)
I believe, I believe in you

"Dream Soldier" (2003)

It's Okay lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Sun is up should be feeling great,
your feeling rough got too much on your plate,
a busy day got a lot to do,
a heavy head you think you've caught the flu.

Something deep inside begins to stir,
spirit, conscience your not really sure.
It's gonna be okay...
It's gonna be okay...

Another day your late for work,
the shower's cold you ain't got no clean shirt.
A cup of tea just might do the trick,
the milk's gone off by now feeling sick.

Something deep inside begins to stir,
spirit, conscience your not really sure.
It's gonna be okay...
It's gonna be okay...

We laughed, we cried, we shared along the way,
we did some things we knew we shouldn't do.
So after all what's this life living for,
work it out or head straight for the door
It's gonna be okay...either way
It's gonna be okay...

You close your eyes, try to sleep.
Scold yourself for hours that you keep.
Drifting off will I dream tonight?
In my dreams perhaps I'll get it right.

Something deep inside begins to purrr,
spirit, conscience your not really sure.

It's gonna be okay...
It's gonna be okay...either way
It's gonna be okay...

Why lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

You can always win me over,
with your cool vibes and logical point of view.
For you I'd go babe, the extra mile,
But you confuse me, so I'm gonna ask you,

Why are you making me blue?
Is it because baby, your so sad inside.
And why, are you making me cry?
Is it because baby, your so terrified.

You don't wanna talk about it,
Say I'm crazy and it's all inside my head.
But I'm not gonna, let it go.
Let's start talking, take it slow.
Don't be frightened, I won't bite ya,
Move in closer. I just wanna hold your hand.
Come on baby, don't say no.
Let's start talking, keep on talking.

Why are you making me blue?
Is it because baby, your so sad inside.
And why, are you making me cry?
Is it because baby, your so terrified

Righteous Night lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Tell me, do you fly in your dreams? Yeah.
And uh, tell me, are you paralyzed when you scream.
Do you rise to the ceiling and look down on your bed?
You break a sweat, you realize that you ain't dead, yet.

It was a righteous night, and I slept with all my eyes.
It was a righteous night, then I took flight.

Tell me, do they think that your mad?
And uh, tell me do they think that your sad?
Something strange, you just can't explain. No.
You close your eyes, you want it to happen again

It was a righteous night, and I slept with all my eyes.
It was a righteous night, then I took flight.

I'm sleepy, sleepy.
I'm dreaming, dreaming.
Tossing, turning
Flying. Flying.

It was a righteous night, and I slept with all my eyes.
It was a righteous night, then I took flight

Doesn't Matter lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

I know you've heard it all before,
but the message don't get much better.
Always competing with someone else, beating up on yourself.
Deep inside you've always had this dream,
crazy as it sometimes seems.
Always thinking up some excuse, you just need some juice.

It Doesn't matter, if your black or white.
Doesn't matter if your wrong or right.
All that matters, don't give up the fight.
Doesn't matter if your rich or poor.
All that matter's is you know the score.
Doesn't matter, you can open any door.

Never listen but you wanna teach.
Do you practice what you always preach.
Take a deeper look inside yourself,
before you look at someone else.
Please don't rush, take your time.
Challenges are hard to climb.
Before you think of hanging up your boots,
just sip on some juice.

It Doesn't matter, if your black or white.
Doesn't matter if your wrong or right.
All that matters, don't give up the fight.
Doesn't matter if your rich or poor.
All that matter's is you know the score.
Doesn't matter, you can open any door.

Cos in life we only get one chance,
we gotta live it up, we gotta do it right.
If you wanna dance the last dance,
then you gotta be prepared to fight.
There's no point in having dreams.
If your gonna spend your life asleep.
Really there is no excuse. You just need some juice.

It Doesn't matter, if your black or white.
Doesn't matter if your wrong or right.
All that matters, don't give up the fight.
Doesn't matter if your rich or poor.
All that matter's is you know the score.
Doesn't matter, you can open any door.

It doesn't matter, oh no.
Doesn't matter, oh no.
Doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter, oh no.

It Doesn't matter, if your black or white.
Doesn't matter if your wrong or right.
All that matters, don't give up the fight.
Doesn't matter if your rich or poor.
All that matter's is you know the score.
Doesn't matter, you can open any door

Human lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Sometimes I'm guilty of prejudice
Sometimes I'm guilty of fear,
Sometimes I be so unreasonable.
Sometimes I just plain don't care.
Cos I'm only human after all.
I never made a claim to know it all.

Cos. Love don't conquer everything,
living in a world so full of hate.
Take a look around you'll see
so much suffering.
Sometimes all you need is a little faith.

Sometimes life can be beautiful.
Sometimes it puts you through hell.
Some days can seem like a nightmare.
Next day your under a spell.
Cos I'm only human after all.
I never made a claim to know it all, yeah.

Cos. Love don't conquer everything,
living in a world so full of hate.
Take a look around you'll see
so much suffering.
Sometimes all you need is a little faith.

Nobody knows how the story ends.
Maybe I don't wanna know.
Still trying to deal with the here and now.
I'll sit back and see how it goes.

Cos. Love don't conquer everything,
living in a world so full of hate.
Take a look around you'll see
so much suffering.
Sometimes all you need is a little faith

Cool Morning lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

When the sun met the moon,
it was for the very first time.
Said the moon to the sun,
where have you been all my life?
Though we come from too different
worlds and we see things so differently.
Moon you light up my sky, sun breathe life into me.
All my life. All my life.

Cool morning, sun and the moon in the sky.
Dancing together. Are you?
Cool evening, beauty makes me wanna cry.

When the sun met the moon,
it was for the very last time.
Said the moon to the sun, please don't cry.
Though we come from too different
worlds and we see things so differently.
Sun you light up my sky. Moon breathe life into me.
Let's fly. Let's fly

Something Special lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Sitting here, my minds an empty page,
But I'll try, yes I will to exist.
A funky guitar, liberates me from my cage.
Well you asked so I say, that's how songs are made.

Where do I go when I need some inspiration.
Love affair, jump a cliff, light a spliff.
Simply vibe, with some wicked orchestration.
Well you asked so I say, that's how songs are made.

Oh, searching in the back of my mind,
Try to sleep, see if I dream,
see if something comes from nowhere.
Oh oh. Search again theres something I can find.
Try to sleep, see if I dream.
If I let it go, it comes back to me.
u res your head to lay.
If you love it so. It comes back to you.
Back to you. Back to you.

What do I do, for a little motivation,
On a beach, out of reach, ooh life's a peach.
Sometimes I need just a little isolation.
On my own, answerphone, toblerone, ummmmm.

A little dedication, a little isolation, yeah.
A little motivation, give me some information. Yeah.
In the middle of the day. When you res your head to lay

Love Beautiful lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

I know you think that I don't want to.
I know you think that I don't care.
I know you said that I don't have to.
How can I deny something so rare.

I know you like to do the talking,
I just keep it down inside.
My feet been known to do the walking.
But how you gonna know, if you never try.

Oh love, so beautiful.
Oh love, so inspired.
Ooh love, so wonderful.
Sweet love. Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

I don't believe in ultimatums.
I don't believe in making deals.
Cos when your dealing your emotions,
you've simply got to go with how you really feel.

Oh love, so beautiful.
Oh love, so inspired.
Ooh love, so wonderful.
Sweet love. Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

No one likes to feel their put on trail.
Nobody likes to admit there in denial.
Who do you know that likes to feel pushed in a corner.
Cos it doesn't make sense to lie.

We're all looking for perfection.
Knowing that it don't exist no, no.
Somehow we'll settle for deception.
But true loves always sealed in a tender kiss.

Oh love, so beautiful.
Oh love, so inspired.
Ooh love, so wonderful.
Sweet love. Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

Sweet love. Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby

Nothing lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Hold me don't let go, cos I'm revelling in insecurity
It's so unlike me, yes I know.
But what am I to do with how I feel.

I just keep on wondering, pondering what to do.
I beat up on myself and everybody else, I'm so confused.
You say let's compromise, head for the skies.
Nothing to lose. I've got nothing to lose.

So please don't leave me here. I'll be lost without you.
Don't make me stay. Cos I'll only be in the way.

Don't say I told you so and that
my argument is wearing thin.
Sometimes I'm ugly, beautiful.
Say I'm hormonal and I'll punch you in.
Cos I just can't make up my mind any time,
I'm not like you.
Don't put words in my mouth
or I'm heading south right on cue.
You said let's compromise head for the skies.
Nothing to lose. I've got nothing to lose.

So please don't leave me here. I'll be lost without you.
Don't make me stay. Cos I'll only be in the way.

Just can't make up my mind, anytime,
I'm not like you.
Don't put words in my mouth
or I'm heading south right on cue.
You say let's compromise, head for the skies.
Nothing to lose. I've got nothing to lose.

So please don't leave me here. I'll be lost without you.
Don't make me stay. Cos I'll only be in the way

Fate lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Standing on ceremony. Waiting for life to begin
I ain't looking for nothing necessarily,
then in you sauntered in.
You were too cool, too suave.
The way you handled your guitar.
When you started to play,
you nearly stole my heart away.

You can't stop fate stepping in.
You can try, but you'll give in.

When you finished playing, ooh you caught my eye.
I don't usually get so humble, I don't usually get so shy.
But when you asked my name. I felt the deepest shame.
If you could read my mind, oh, you'd see my crime.

You can't stop fate stepping in.
You can try, but you'll give in.

You can't choose. You can't lose.
You can't hide. You can't decide.
You can't run, You can't shun.
You can't escape, destiny of fate.

You can't stop fate stepping in.
You can try, but you'll give in

Silent Hero lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

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

Get A Life lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

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

I Ain't Movin' (Family Stand Acoustic Mix) lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Love is my passion, love is my friend
Love's universal, love never ends
Then why am I faced with so much anger, so my pain?
Why should I hide? Why should I be ashamed?

Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life
I walk with dignity, I step with pride

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

When you're 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, no no no no

Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life
I walk with dignity, I step with pride

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

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 and I, ooh

Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life
I walk with dignity, I step with pride

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

'Cause I ain't moving from my face, from my race, from my history
I ain't movin' from my love, my peaceful dove, means too much to me
And loving self can be so hard, honesty can be demanding
If we learn to love ourself we'll have great, great feeling

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

Innocent And Naive lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

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

Warm Hands, Cold Heart lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

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

I Ain't Movin' (Live) lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Love is my passion, love is my friend
Love's universal, love never ends
Then why am I faced with so much anger, so my pain?
Why should I hide? Why should I be ashamed?

Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life
I walk with dignity, I step with pride

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

When you're down baby, I will set you free

A wise man is clever, seldom ever speaks a word
A foolish man keeps talking, never is he heard, no no no no

I walk with dignity, I step with pride

'Cause I ain't moving from my face, from my race, from my history

Little Child (Live) lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Little child, your eyes I 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

Yes, we'll cry, yes we'll cry
Our hearts they feel no hate, no, no
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

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
This can't go down as another disaster in history
This can't go down as another disaster in history

Looking Philosophical lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

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

Caring World lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

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

Soul Mates lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

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

Feel So High (Live) lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Show me your company, come and tell me who you'll 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 smiling

'Cause I feel so high away, I'm reaching out for your sky
I've boundless energies, I feel 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, I want my joy to be discreet
Can't seem 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

'Cause I feel so high away, I'm reaching out for your sky
I've boundless energies, I feel 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

I've seen you exposed, your thoughts are nude
Come on, take off your pride baby, you should wash your attittude
I'm sitting here watching you baby, trying to pretend you're cool and calm
Come on now, you can tell me baby, did the gypsy read your palm?

Show me your company, come and tell me who you'll 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 smiling

'Cause I feel so high away, I'm reaching out for your sky
I've boundless energies, I feel 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

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

You Gotta Be (Live) lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

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
Reading 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

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 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
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

Life (Live) lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Mmm, yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
Oh life, oh life

I'm afraid of the dark
Especially when I'm in a park
And there's no one else around
Ooh, I get the shivers

I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo

I'm a superstitious girl
I'm the worst in the world
Never walk under ladders
I keep a rabbit's tail

I'll take you up on a dare
Anytime, anywhere
Name the place, I'll be there
Bungee jumping, I don't care

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo
Life, doo, doo doo
Doo, doo doo

So after all is 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

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo

Doo, doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo
Oh life, oh life

Oh life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Oh life, oh life, oh life, oh life

What's Your Sign? lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Dum doot, doo doot
Dum doot, doo doot hmm

What's your sign, do you know?
Let me guess, you're Scorpio
What's your rising?
Where's your moon?
Scorpios are pretty cool
See I'm a sage
Ha ha ha, so they say
I'm a butterfly, I like to play
I'm always aiming into the sky
I point my arrows extremely high

'Cause everyone has a sign
Whether supernatural or divine
Believe or not if you're so inclined
'Cause in this great big universe
We're the stars on earth

See the man over there
(Doo doot, doo doot)
He's a Leo, check his hair
(Doo doot, doo doot)
Virgo eyes, Aries smile
(Doo doot, doo doot)
I like the Leo, check his style
(Doo doot, doo doot)

When the night is good and clear
(Doo doot, doo doot)
I hear a whisper in a my ear
(Doo doot, doo doot)
If you follow the Nothern Star
(Doo doot, doo doot)
You will always know just where you are
(Doo doot, doo doot)

'Cause everyone has a sign
Whether supernatural or divine
Believe or not if you're so inclined
'Cause in this great big universe
We're the stars on earth
We are stars, doo doot, doo doot, doo yeah
We are stars, doo doot, doo doot, doo yeah
We are stars, 'cause in this great big universe
We're the stars on earth

Let me guess
I dunno, I do confess
What's your rising?
Where's your moon?
I don't know
But you're still cool

'Cause everyone has a sign
Whether supernatural or divine
Believe or not if you're so inclined
'Cause in this great big universe
We're the stars on earth
We are stars, doo doot, doo doot, doo yeah
We are stars, doo doot, doo doot, doo yeah

God Only Knows lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

I'm the keeper of your funny jokes
Sit beside me, make me laugh some more, yea
We're all looking for a savior
I can see one coming through the door

To the light, are you a follower?
For the truth and for the destiny
This long night has lasted forever
How do we get there?
God only knows

In the darkness, he sits shedding skins
How it happened? He doesn't know
Was it karma stuff and baggage from another life?
Why did it take her, why did she have to go?

To the light, are you a follower?
For the truth and for the destiny
This long night has lasted forever
How do we get there?
God only knows

There I go thinkin' again of you
There I go thinkin' again
There I go thinkin' again
Thinkin' again
I go thinkin' again
I go thinkin' again
I go thinkin' again
I thinkin' again

Where are you going? Are you having fun?
What's the lessons, what we got to learn?
Can't be right, 'cause I'm the dancer
I wrote the steps and I know how it goes

To the light, are you a follower?
For the truth and for the destiny
This long night has lasted forever
How do we get there?
God only knows

To the light, are you a follower?
For the truth and for the destiny
This long night has lasted forever
How do we get there?
God only knows

To the light, are you a follower?
For the truth and for the destiny
This long night has lasted forever
How do we get there?
God only knows

Thinking, there I go again
Thinking, I go thinking
Thinking, there I go again
Thinking, I go thinking
Thinking, there I go again
Thinking, I go thinking
Thinking, there I go again
Thinking, I go thinking
Thinking, there I go again
Thinking, I go thinking
Thinking, there I go again
Thinking, I go thinking

Best Days lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Pi papana
I tried to run away
Somehow I couldn't stay
You reached to hold my hand
You led me to the promised land
There we were all alone
There are no danger zones
We only had each other's eyes

And I feel now
They were the best days of my life
Hey yeah, yeah

Where did you find this place?
Had we arrived in space?
Here we are kings and queens
You know exactly what I mean
Now we are all alone
There were no telephones
We only have each other's smiles

And I feel now
They were the best days of my life
Hey yeah, yeah
Yes, I feel now
They were the best days of my life

The astonishment, written on my face
As the beauty, it happy dazed
Of the scenery, I was so impressed
By the way the paradise was smartly dressed
Hey yeah, yeah
Hey yeah, yeah

I tried to disappear
From all my aches and fears
But now I close my eyes and journey
To this paradise
So beautiful, simply wonderful
I sit down and take my time, ohh ho

And I feel now
They were the best days of
Yes, I know now
They were the best days of
I'm convinced now
They were the best days of my life

Best days

Proud To Be A Dread lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Tafari tries to get a job
Ten letters behind his name
Born up in the cornfields
Tafari doesn't know the game
The game is no respect for life
Even less for rules
Winners only need apply
Sorry no rooms for fools

Tafari, looks up to the stars and
Wonders if there's life on Mars
Some say, he should shave his head
But he's proud to be a dread

'Cos, I'll be better, I'll be stronger
For the truth, I know takes longer
I've the cunning of the tiger
And the Wisdom of the trees
I won't be sad, refuse the sorrow
I look forward to tomorrow
I'll release my anger
'Cos I'm proud to be a dread

Selassie, tries to find a home
To rest his weary head
A place where he can take his girl
To share this spiritual bed
When he's greeted at the door
The sign has changed his tune
Though the queen is full of child
Sorry, there's no room

Selassie looks up to the clouds
He curses hard and shouts out loud
Remembering his father's words
A whisper from the dead

'Cos, I'll be better, I'll be stronger
For the truth, I know takes longer
I've the cunning of the tiger
And the wisdom of the trees
I won't be sad, refuse the sorrow
I look forward to tomorrow
I'll release my anger
'Cos I'm proud to be a dread

'Cos in this life, you have to take a chance
Why else live at all
'Cos in this life, to climb a mountain
Sometimes expect to fall
'Cos in this life nothing comes easy
If it does, it has a price
'Cos in this life a martyr suffers
Look at Jesus Christ

Leo, faces many trials
But hold hid head up high
He won't allow the hatred
To Make his spirit cry
Leo looks up to the moon
Sitting in its silver spoon
Maybe I should change my job
Be an astronaut instead

'Cos, I'll be better, I'll be stronger
For the truth, I know takes longer
I've the cunning of the tiger
And the wisdom of the trees
I won't be sad, refuse the sorrow
I look forward to tomorrow
I'll release my anger
'Cos I'm proud to be a dread

I'll release my anger
'Cos I'm proud to be a dread

'Cos, I'll be better, I'll be stronger
For the truth, I'll be a seeker
I've the cunning of the tiger
And the wisdom of the trees
In my dealings I'll be honest
To myself I make this promise

I'm Kissing You lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Pride can stand
A thousand trials
The strong will never fall
But watching stars without You
My soul cried
Heaving heart is full of pain
Oh, oh, the aching

'Cause I'm kissing you, oh
I'm kissing you

Touch me deep
Pure and true
Gift to me forever

'Cause I'm kissing you, oh
I'm kissing you

Yeah hey
Yeah

Where are you now?
Where are you now?

'Cause I'm kissing you
I'm kissing you, oh

Indigo Daisies lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Sitting in fields
Surrounded by daisies
Was her fate

She loves him, she loves him not
He loves her but he forgot
Now it's too late

She's down to 3 petals
She hears the whistle from the kettle
But should she stay?

'Cos running never solves anything
Running changes nothing
You better stay

But if you're running to another's arms
Runing to another's charms
Then go away

Indigo daisies
Indigo daisies

Sitting on the train
Surrounding by faces
She doesn't know

She doesn't have a book to read
The journey takes infinity
She sucks a polo

She remembers the pavilion
He made her feel
A million sweeter days

'Cos running never solves anything
Running changes nothing
You better stay

But if you're running to another's arms
Runing to another's charms
Then go away

Indigo daisies
Indigo daisies

'Cos running never solves anything
Running changes nothing
You better stay

But if you're running to another's arms
Runing to another's charms
Then go away

Indigo daisies
Indigo daisies

Indigo daisies
Indigo daisies

Running never solves anything
Running never solves anything

'Cause there was a time
I was surrounded
By beautiful flowers

There was a time
I was surrounded
By beautiful flowers

Indigo daisies
Indigo daisies

Time lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Time oh time, yes I need more time
Why do you keep on fleeting away?
I hear the wind chimes jangle in my mind
Oh how I wish you stay

Look at the time, it's after five, soon the day is over
Mr.Magic said,"We'd meet before the rise"
I recall when 60 minutes used to be an hour
As usual I find myself reading sky

"Never mind", I said to myself
Never, never mind, I'm not owned by myself
Many have these feelings, they remain on the shelf
How can I be sure?

Time oh time, yes I need more time
Why do you keep on fleeting away?
I hear the wind chimes jangle in my mind
Oh how I wish you could stay

Sitting around I hear no sound, only the clock is ticking
Seconds turn to minutes purely on their own
When asleep and all is dark, I spend my dreaming wishing
I got a feeling I'm not all alone

Time oh time, yes I need more time
Why do you keep on fleeting away?
I hear the wind chimes jangle in my mind
Oh how I wish you will stay

Got a feeling, yes I'm reeling
I'm trying but I'm lying to myself
When I'm sitting and I'm thinking
How can I be sure?
How can I be sure?

Oh, time oh time, yes I need more time
Why do you keep on slipping away?
Time oh time, umpteens I have to time
Oh how I wish you will stay

Time oh time, yes I need more time
Why do you keep on slipping away?
I hear the wind chimes jangle in my mind
Oh how I wish you will stay

Oh, time oh time, what can I do?
I find myself, I'm relying on you sometimes
I get in right, I follow through
Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea
I need these times slipping away

Down By The River lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Down by the river, down by the sea
Down by the water will you come with me?
The fish are watching, I don't really care
Down by the river if you dare

Down by the river, down by the stream
Down by the ripples, promise I won't scream, oh
The flowers are whispering, what do they say?
Down by the river where we play
I can see the magic in your eyes

Down by the river, down by the shore
Down by the ocean where we wanted more, oh
The trees are listening, they turn away
Down by the river where we lay

I can see the magic in your eyes, baby
I can feel the sunlight in your smile
Maybe I could deceive myself
But why should I deny that you belong to me, I belong to you oh

I can feel the magic in your eyes, baby
I can see the sunlight from your smile
Maybe I could deceive myself
But why should I deny that you belong to me, I belong to you, you,
Yea yea yea, yea yea yea, yea yea yea

Down by the river, down by the lake
Down by the water, promise I won't fake, hey hey
Sun is shining in its heat we bathe
Down by the river we were saved

I can see the magic in your eyes, baby
I can feel the sunlight in your smile
I could deceive myself
But why should I deny that you belong to me, I belong to you oh
You belong to me, I belong to you, you, yea yea

Yea yea yea
Down by the river, yea yea
Down by the river, yea yea yea yea yea
Down by the river, yea
Down by the river, yea yea yea yea yea
Down by the river, yea yea yea yea
Down by the river, yea yea yea yea
Down by the river, yea yea
Down by the river, ooo yea
Down by the river, deep down, deep down
Down by the river, yea yea yea yea

From a child, he was golden

Promising dreams of pure caviar

Fire lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

You're riding in my car
I turn on the radio
I'm pulling you closer
But you keep tellin' me no
You say you don't like it
But I know you're a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh...

Fire

Late at night
You're taking me home
You say you wanna stay
But I want you to go
Say I don't love you
But you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh...

Fire

You had a hold on me right from the start
A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin' actin' like a fool
Well my kisses might burn
But my heart stays cool

Well Romeo and Juliet
Sampson and Delilah
Baby you can bet
They were burnin' with desire
If I say split
Then I know that I'd be lying
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh...

Fire

When we kiss
I'm on fire
Your tenderness
Gives me desire
I can't resist
Your tender lips
When we kiss
Ooh...

Fire

When we kiss
I'm on fire
Your tenderness
Gives me desire
I can't resist
Your tender lips
When we kiss
Ooh...

Fire

You Gotta Be lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

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
Read 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

Time asks no questions,
It goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
Can't stop it, if you try to
The best part is danger staring you in the face

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 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
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

Crazy Maze lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Money don't make my world go 'round
I'm reaching up for the higher ground
To a warm and peaceful place
I can rest my weary face

Life's answers we're trying to find
Battling inside our minds
Where do I go from here?
Will all my friends be there?

'Cause we're livin', we're livin' in a crazy maze
And we're fighting, we're fighting to rise above the haze
Light's at the end of the tunnel
Sometimes the journey is long
There are many theories
On who's right and who's wrong

Pressure is on I have to choose
I've got nothing to lose
I close my eyes I take a chance
I know there's different days

What's the key to a happy life?
Tell me no, no, no, no
A healthy mind and lots of spice
Running barefoot through the trees
That's my idea of free

'Cause we're livin', we're livin' in a crazy maze
And we're fighting, we're fighting to rise above the haze
Light's at the end of the tunnel
Sometimes the journey is long
There are many theories
On who's right and who's wrong

I've packed my bags, I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going to stay
I'm on a train bound destiny
I can set my spirit free

'Cause we're livin', we're livin' in a crazy maze
And we're fighting, we're fighting to rise above the haze
Light's at the end of the tunnel
Sometimes the journey is long
There are many theories
On who's right and who's wrong

'Cause we're livin', yes we're livin' in a crazy maze
We're fighting, we're fighting to rise above the haze
Light's at the end of the tunnel
The journey is long
There are many theories
On who's right and who's wrong

'Cause we're livin', yes we're livin' in a crazy maze
And we're fighting, we're fighting to rise above the haze
Light's at the end of the tunnel
The journey may be long
There are many theories
On who's right and who's wrong

'Cause we're livin', oh we're livin' in a crazy maze
We're dying yes we're dying
The journey may be long
And who's to know
When you get there to a row
You got to know

We're livin', yes we're livin' in a crazy maze

Little Child lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

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…

Strong Enough lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Trying to figure out
Just where your life is goin'
Can you see the picture
In the purple sky?
Silently you're walkin'
But where are you headin'?

Questions terrorize, ah, yeah
Space inside your mind, ah, yeah

Are you strong enough for love?
Are you strong enough for peace?
Are you strong enough to die?
Tell me why

I'm strong enough for you
Are you strong enough for me?
'Cause down, down in the city
Love ain't always pretty

They try to take your soul and mind
But you won't let them
Never wear your destiny
Outside your smile
Always talk in riddles
So you keep them guessing

Never criticize, ah, yeah
Keep an open mind, ah, yeah

Are you strong enough for love?
Are you strong enough for peace?
Are you strong enough to die?
Tell me why

I'm strong enough for you
Are you strong enough for me?
'Cause down, down in the city
Love ain't always pretty

They're holding out their hands
Begging for some time
Can you spare a shilling
Can you spare a life?
You try to give them food
But they just refuse you

Deep down inside, ah, yeah
You know you've tried

Are you strong enough for love?
Are you strong enough for peace?
Are you strong enough to die?
Tell me why

I'm strong enough for you
Are you strong enough for me?
'Cause down, down in the city
Love ain't always pretty

'Cause are you strong enough?
Strong enough for me?
Strong enough
Strong enough to see

Strong enough
Strong enough to be
'Cause down, down in the city, yeah
Love ain't always pretty

Strong enough for love?
Are you strong enough for peace?
Strong enough to die?
Tell me why

Strong enough for me
Oh, I'm strong enough for you
'Cause down, down in the city, yeah
Love ain't always pretty, no

You're strong enough for me
I'm strong enough for you
You're strong enough to see
That down, down in the city
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Love ain't so pretty

Herald The Day lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Herald the day
When the hungry ain't hungry no more
When truth and justice reign
When color don't stand in the way

Herald the day
When the hungry ain't hungry no more
Honesty always pays
So you better start mending your ways
Herald the day
When color don't stand in the way
Oh, blessed day, hey hey hey

Something's gonna happen
It's written in the air
Something's gonna happen
Revolution is everywhere

Herald the day
When the earth ceases to cry
Innocents always pray
So their babies don't have to die
Herald the day
When truth and justice reign
Oh, blessed day, hey hey hey

Herald the day
Herald the day
Herald the day

Trip On Love lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Mommy loves you, daddy loves you, ain't that good?
Beauty's on your side
I'll always be there for you like I said I would
There's sadness in your eyes

Deeper than a river you inspire me
In your light I shine, oh yeah
Trip on with me baby, we'll walk through the trees
Our love's a natural high, our love's a natural high

Trip on, trip on love, trip on me
Trip on, trip on all the possibilities
Trip on, trip on love, trip on me
Trip on the sweetness of love's destiny

Of all the good things in your life, my love is free
You wanna take a ride?
In the noon tide hour love runs over me
Take me to the sky

Trip on, trip on love, trip on me
Trip on, trip on all the possibilities
Trip on, trip on love, trip on me
Trip on the sweetness of love's destiny

Trip on, trip on love, trip on me
Trip on, trip on all the possibilities
Trip on, trip on love, trip on me
Trip on

Trip on love
Trip on love
Trip on love
Trip on love

Pulses race, anticipate what dusk will bring
I see it in your smile, oh baby
Bodies ache and celebrate, now souls can sing
Our love's a natural high, our love's a natural high

Trip on, trip on love, trip on me
Trip on, trip on all the possibilities
Trip on, trip on love, trip on me
Trip on love's sweetness

Trip on, trip on love, trip on me
Trip on, trip on all the possibilities
Trip on, trip on love, trip on me
Trip on

Trip on love
Trip on love
Trip on love
Trip on love

I Ain't Movin' lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Love is my passion, love is my friend
Love's universal, love never ends
Then why am I faced with so much anger, so my pain?
Why should I hide? Why should I be ashamed?

Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life
I walk with dignity, I step with pride

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

When you're 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, no no no no

Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life
I walk with dignity, I step with pride

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

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 and I, ooh

Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life
I walk with dignity, I step with pride

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

'Cause I ain't moving from my face, from my race, from my history
I ain't movin' from my love, my peaceful dove, means too much to me
And loving self can be so hard, honesty can be demanding
If we learn to love ourself we'll have great, great feeling

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

Living In The City lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Let's celebrate, let's celebrate, living in the city
Yea yeah, aye aye, yea yeah, yeahhh!

Sitting in cafes, drinking Brazil
Watching old ladies struggle up the hill
The sun is winking at me, giving me the eye
There's no better place to watch the time trickle by

'Cos we're living in the city, there ain't no room for peace
Wow, we're living in the city, there ain't no time for sleep
Hey, we're living in the city, where everything is free
Oh, where I wanna be, hey hey, is living in the city
City eh eeh, city ehhh

Walking 'round the buildings, watching pictures on the wall
People lying homeless, got no love at all
Standing next to history, everything is grand
People from the country never understand

Find yourself a place (oh find yourself a place)
Where there's caring and there's sharing
Find yourself a space
where there's loving (loving), hoping (hoping),
touching, feeling, feeling

Living in, living in, living, living in the city
Where I wanna be, where I wanna be
Oh oh, ah ah ah, oh, ah ah

In My Dreams lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

When we were young we shared our dreams
I was your Queen you were the Captain of my sea
We felt we were the only ones to see
Mermaids combing their hair with coral brushes from the sea

In my dreams you were food and wine
In my dreams we had space and time
In my dreams baby we could fly
In my dreams you'll never die

Sweet, sweet music, we made our own
The tree in our garden was our surrogate home
We drank blue lemonade and ate mud pies
We owned the land, oh yes we owned the sky

In my dreams you were food and wine
In my dreams we had space and time
In my dreams baby we could fly
In my dreams you'll never die

Can you believe every secret I had
I shared with you, yes with you
Always always in our games
I took the blame for you?

In my dreams you were food and wine
In my dreams we had space and time
In my dreams baby we could fly
In my dreams you'll never die

In my dreams you were food and wine
In my dreams we had space and time
In my dreams baby we could fly
In my dreams you'll never die

Can you believe every secret I had
I shared with you, yes with you
Always always in our games
I took the blame for you, yes for you?

In my dreams you were food and wine
In my dreams we had space and time
In my dreams baby we could fly
In my dreams you'll never die

In my dreams you were food and wine
In my dreams we had space and time
In my dreams baby we could fly
In my dreams you'll never die

In my dreams you were food and wine
In my dreams we had space and time
In my dreams baby we could fly
Never die, never die

In my dreams you were food and wine
In my dreams we had space and time
In my dreams baby we could fly
Never die, you'll never die

In my dreams you were food and wine
In my dreams we had space and time
In my dreams baby we could fly
Never die, you'll never die

Love Is Here lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

I hear a song
Drifting on the horizon
Melody is so sweet, so sweet
Who composed the tune?

It lifts my heart higher
I sit down to retire
And hear what it has to say

Love is here
I don't wanna lose it, no
The tune, it was so inspiring
It kept my body rising

Absorption taking place
The melody, so lovely
The tune it was so subtle
The world's a wonderful place

I see him now
The clouds begin to disperse
To reveal a wonderful presence
A presence full of love

He is so lovely
Standing there, looking after me
Seeing just how I feel
The presence of love itself

Love is here
I don't wanna lose it, no
The tune, it was so inspiring
It kept my body rising

Absorption taking place
The melody, so lovely
The tune it was so subtle
The world's a wonderful place

Love is here
I don't wanna lose it, no
The tune, it was so inspiring
It kept my body rising

Absorption taking place
The melody, so lovely
The tune it was so subtle
The world's a wonderful place

Love is here
Love is here
Love is here

Love is here

"Mind Adventures" (1992)

Average Man lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

I can't believe you're doing this to me
What have I done to you
I analyze the scene, I'm guilt free
I've got nothing to lose, but you, but you

'Cos I'm doing all that I can
'Cos your only an average man
'Cos I'm doing all that I can
'Cos your only an average man

I've stood by your defense
So many times I've protected your land
But like the foolish man
You built your castle on the sand
You won't listen to no-ones thoughts but yours
Then you don't understand
When I reach out to you
I'm offering you a helping hand, my hand

Why won't you understand
I just want to hold your hand
When I'm reaching out to you
I just want to help you

I'd nothing to lose
When I helped myself to your heart
I'd nothing to prove
I was straight with you from the start

Feel So High lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Show me your company, come and tell me who you'll 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 smiling

'Cause I feel so high away, I'm reaching out for your sky
I've boundless energies, I feel 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, I want my joy to be discreet
Can't seem 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

'Cause I feel so high away, I'm reaching out for your sky
I've boundless energies, I feel 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

I've seen you exposed, your thoughts are nude
Come on, take off your pride baby, you should wash your attittude
I'm sitting here watching you baby, trying to pretend you're cool and calm
Come on now, you can tell me baby, did the gypsy read your palm?

Show me your company, come and tell me who you'll 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 smiling

'Cause I feel so high away, I'm reaching out for your sky
I've boundless energies, I feel 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

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

Sun Of '79 lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Do you recall the sun of '79
I was young but I remember you fine
You were tall and handsome so sweet so divine
One day you'd be mine
Do you recall the sun of '79
You used to tease me saying in ten years time
I still loved you I was biding my time
One day you'd be mine

Now I've revealed my thoughts to you
What's your conclusion? did you have a clue
Some say your feelings should be aired
Now with you mine have been shared

Do you recall the sun of '79
Playing silly games behind the washing line
We were scolded 10.000.000 times
Happiness then made us blind
The sun's behind the sea of '79
Will it rise again, maybe not in my time
I'll remember you as long as I'm alive
I'll see you again

Dumma dumma dum dum, dah dah dah dee
Yeah, yeah yeah
Dumma dumma dum dum dah dah dee dee

Why Should I Love You? lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Why should I love you?
You treat me so bad, you make me glad
Why should I care for you
I'll tell you my feelings honestly

There are a few factors that lie in your favour
Yet I'm attracted also distracted
Pride may ruin you slowly, harbouring feelings
You never let go

Trying to tell me that I'm in the wrong
Though we've been together for so long
There is something there that I need
Yet far away from you I shall be free

You wake up the sun shines on your face
You crack a smile you got big plans today
Your freedom lies way up in the skies
You'll fly high with invisible wings

Ooo ooooh oooo, oooh oooh, ohh oooh oooh
Why?

Stand On My Own Ground lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics


If I was down and came to you
What would you say what would you do?
I can sit here and die away
You said you came to help and stay

I don't wanna seem weak, I don't wanna seem down
I'm gonna rise up and stand on my own ground

Dumma dumma dumma dum dum, dum dum dum
Dumma dumma dumma dum dum, dum dum dum
Stand on my own ground, stand on my own ground

I find my strength in simple things
Things that in nature and birds that sing
Had to realize what I had to do
And that involved fleeing far from you

I don't wanna seem weak, I don't wanna seem down
I'm gonna rise up and stand on my own ground

Competitive World lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Adjacently we stand keeping out the cold
Emotions flowing through us, are we being too bold
To say we're in control
Time is moving on soon well be gone
The wall will crumble and fall, it had to be that way

'Cause this competitive world, may let you down
Hearts and souls and minds, they get churned around
People tread on your heart and they don't fear
That brave look in your eye, which says you care

Clouds that float on by, furnishing the sky
So beautiful you want to be there too, oh you can make it there
Stones may block your path people they may laugh
Say your acting like a fool, this fuels your will to prove

So don't ever let go, when someone says its so
Don't give up the flight, cos you know its right
That brave look in you eye, says your dreams won't die
This formulates your key

Don't let the wall crumble and fall
Build it up, keep it up
Cos this competitive world may let you down
Rise up and defend yourself

This competitive world, this competitive world
Rise up and defend yourself

Mind Adventures lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Many lifetimes have I seen, all are vivid in my dreams
Different stories, different themes, mind adventures

Many mountains have I climbed to kiss the sky of sweet July
Exotic birds go flying by, mind adventures

Would you like an invitation to my destination, babe
It ain't hard, it's easy to find

I won't beg or buy, I'll borrow love, hey, what are you thinking of
Adventures take place in my mind

Many stories I've been told by wise men young and some are old
They were strong and they were bold, mind adventures

Many seasons have I seen, unconventional indeed
In places they have never seen spring or summer

Would you like an invitation to my destination, babe
It ain't hard, it's easy to find

I won't beg or buy, I'll borrow love, hey, what are you thinking of
Adventures take place in my mind

Futuristic I may be, I don't feel differently
About strange things I hear and see, mind adventures

You may have eyes you may not see, you may possess dry chemistry
These mean nothing much to me, mind adventures

Would you like an invitation to my destination, babe
It ain't hard, it's easy to find

I won't beg or buy, I'll borrow love, hey, what are you thinking of
Adventures take place in my mind

Would you like an invitation to my destination, babe
It ain't hard, it's easy to find

I won't beg or buy, I'll borrow love, hey, what are you thinking of
Adventures take place in my mind

Mind adventures they will set you free, it's easy as you'll see, yes

Mind adventures they will set you free, it's easy as you'll see

Laughter lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

I see your picture solemn on the wall
There's no expression no laughter there at all
Why are you there watching me, eyes gray and heart of stone
Oh I've tried to please you, seems as though I've failed

Shall I pour some laughter upon your weary soul
You used to be so happy, your life complete and whole
Shall I pour some laughter upon your weary soul
You used to be so happy, your life complete and whole

You must communicate please don't turn away
I'm here to help you and I plan to stay
I see confusion revolves inside your mind
Oh I'm here to help you, I'll be patient, I'll be kind

Baby I can see your burning up inside
There's so much you want to hide
I see confusion revolves inside your mind
Oh I plan to stay here, I'll be patient, I'll be kind

Shall I pour some laughter, we'll drink a smile together
Who I'll share my jokes with, don't want to laugh alone
I'll rinse you in my laughter, we'll both smile together
Where did that smile go baby where did it go
The sun shines through my eyes I'll look at you
You can feel it too

Save Me lyrics - Des'ree Lyrics

Times in my soul when I feel low, no one can help me
Words I need evade me, you always hear me cry
Your love inside of me you know what I'm feeling
I need you, yes I do. Save me

Save me, save me
Cos I want to climb much higher
So I can see
I need saving like a mother saves her child
Like a brother going wild
Can you hear me, can you hear me? Save me

Is it only when things go wrong, then I call your name
I feel bad inside, I try to hide, you always know where I am
Watching over me, shielding me. You know what I'm feeling
I need you, yes I do. Save me

Why do I doubt you? Forgive me Lord
Can't do without you I live by your word
No one stands near to you
I shouldn't doubt you, forgive me Lord
Can't do without you I live by your word,
no one stands near to you

Ooh oooh, oooh oooh
Mm mmm mmm mmm

Save, save, save, save me
