Why Can’t We Be Friends?

Rise

The path that I’ve known is now thick and overgrown

Step lightly toward serpent or sand

Let the ideals go, I don’t need them anymore

Necessity will bear a helping hand

Family and friends are with you till the end

When all that is safe crashes down

Dare to feel the pain romance will call again

But true love is much more profound

Rise, Rise, Rise…look up to the deep blue sky

And chase all your demons away

C’mon sing

Hey, Hey, Hey…wake up to a brand new day

And worship the sun and her rays

Calamity, insanity, hope abounds humanity

Positive light fuels the vibe

Nothing to fear, revolution’s in the air

Harmony governs our tribe

Rise, Rise, Rise…look up to the deep blue sky

And chase all your demons away

C’mon sing

Hey, Hey, Hey…wake up to a brand new day

And worship the sun and her rays

Rise, Rise, Rise…Reach out to the deep blue sky

Step out of the dark and the night

C’mon sing

Hey, Hey, Hey…Wake up to a brand new life

Worship the warmth and the light

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, You don’t have to go-oh oh oh oh oh

You don’t have to go-oh oh oh oh oh…You don’t have to go

Ay ay ay ay ay ay, All those tears I cry ay ay ay ay

All those tears I cry, oh oh ay ay, Baby please don’t go

When I read the letter you wrote me, it made me mad mad mad

When I read the words that it told me

You made me sad sad sad, But I still love you so

I can’t let you go, I love you, ooh baby I love you.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, Every breath I take oh oh oh oh

Every move I make…oh, Baby please don’t go

Ay ay ay ay ay ay, You hurt me to my soul oh oh oh oh

You hurt me to my so…ul, Darling please don’t go

When I read the letter you wrote me, it made me mad mad mad

When I read the news that it brought me

It made me sad sad sad, But I still love you so

I can’t let you go, I love you, ooh baby I love you.

Solo

When I read the letter you wrote me, it made me mad mad mad

When I read the news that it brought me

It made me sad sad sad, But I still love you so

I can’t let you go, I love you, ooh baby I love you.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, You don’t have to go oh oh oh oh

You don’t have to go oh oh oh oh, Baby please don’t go

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, I still love you so now

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, I can’t let you go now

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, I still love you so now

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, Baby please don’t go now

(Fire)

Oh Baby….

Café Latina

When the sun comes out

On this sleepy town

We’re all still in bed

Laughing last night

Feeling alright

Now the spirit’s gone to my head

When the hurt is too strong

Or everything feels wrong

And you’re begging it to end

Head to Café Latina

The Spanish cantina

Where you’re always among friends

There at Café Latina the barmaid Corinna

Serves up latte in the morning at night it’s margaritas

Where the trade winds blow and the beers always flow

Until 2am or when we all go home

Well the summer crowd

Marches in so loud

Starting early June

Can’t seem to find

A quiet place or time

When I can play a simple tune

Stroll over there

Where the locals care

And Captain Morgan waits for me

Home at Café Latina

The Spanish cantina

Get my sanity for free

There at Café Latina the barmaid Corinna

Serves up latte in the morning at night it’s margaritas

Where the trade winds blow and the beers always flow

Until 2am or when we all go home

The joint’s jumpin’ again

Corinna’s out of her head

Think I’ll lounge on the patio

Women so fine

Waves crashing in time

To Jimmy B on the radio

Well she caught my eye

She looked away so shy

Sidled up and made a toast

Met at Café Latina

The Spanish cantina

Then we walked the sandy coast

There at Café Latina the barmaid Corinna

Serves up latte in the morning at night it’s margaritas

Where the trade winds blow and the beers always flow

Until 2am or when we all go home

Repeat CHORUS

Corazón

Eric Jay Rodig ©2005

Translation: Eva Ulloa

A blade in my chest, blood on the floor

Stumbled in shock, looked for the door

Opened my heart, wondered what the hell for

Tell me this is a dream

Looked down at the crash site, drifting away

Stared at the wound gasping to say

Don’t have religion, no good to pray

Nothing is what it seems

Te deseo

Abreme tu corazon

Mi amor dime por favor que si

Estamos destinados a ser

I want you

Open your heart to me

Please say yes love

Darling we are meant to be

May have stepped over that invisible line

While searching for peace, you don’t know what you’ll find

Close to the good life, about to go blind

The salt burning my eyes

Stood on the point, afraid to jump in

The waves are relentless and I see a fin

A misty future, starting over again

Much to my surprise

Te deseo

Abreme tu corazon

Mi amor dime por favor que si

Estamos destinados a ser

I want you

Open your heart to me

Please say yes love

Darling we are meant to be

Live Another Day

Left you crushed…with love and care

To find a soul I had to strip myself bare

Shot down hard…hold your wounded heart…I really thought

We’d be better off with time apart

Tears of gold and tears of red

Floating on a breeze touchdown along a riverbed

Waters rise, the river runs so fast…in a rage

Wash away a tortured past

Sun shines bright into the soul

First time I finally feel whole

Grounded deep and firm reaching far away

Lessons learned, I Get To Live Another Day

Sun shines bright into my soul

And I’m feeling high…yeah!

Grounded deep and firm looking for a way

Love unashamed, I Get To Live Another Day

Let me back…Wanted to stay

Loved her so much…didn’t matter I was played

Went for the ride…Looking for a jewel…Seemed so real

In my head and her bed, who’s the fool?

(Don’t) Guess my thoughts…open the book

Deaf and mute, silence is a dirty look

Streets get mean and people get strange…wide awake

Step in to the Technicolor change

CHORUS

Children play and ask us why

Old women giggle, demur and shy

The Salt of course has something else to say…looks my way

Happy for another day

CHORUS

All For Love

Met on a distant battlefield

Guns ablaze in the dark

Don’t you know we shared our first kiss there

A lover’s stare lit by one spark

When you know it, you want to show it, shout out to the sun

Quakin’ and achin’ and maybe mistaken, but there’s no mistakes when you’re having fun

All for love…lovers building castles in the sand

Do you feel what I feel when I look into your eyes?

All for love…Valiant waiting to carry her away

Hear the princess call, catch the angel falling in love…

Away on a desert island shore

Moon a glow light above

Two holding hands rolling in sands

Burt and Deborah making love

When you feel it, you want to steal it, desperately crave more

Daring and caring, maybe bewaring, beware what you’re asking for

All for love…lovers building castles in the sand

Do you feel what I feel when I look into your eyes?

All for love...Valiant waiting to carry her away

Hear the princess call, catch the angel falling in love…

When I came back to town, she was caught with a clown

But the clown turned out to be me

Flashed the princess a smile, she still put me on trial

Paid my penance on my knees

When the verdict came (down) my heart chained (to the ground)…

But my soul was set free…

All for love…lovers building castles in the sand

Do you feel what I feel when I look into your eyes?

All for love…Valiant waiting to carry her away

Hear the princess call, catch the angel falling in love…

Reach

The light, lights up my eyes

I drop to my knees, she reaches down from the sky

And if I should falter, she’ll never ask why

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, proceed with a smile

The thundercloud darkens my day

Cold and alone, her tears shroud me in gray

Keep pushing onward, and I hear her say

Reach for my hand son and I’ll guide your way

The sage potent and pure

Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on

‘Cause my vision is blurred

From the way I’ve been tempted and lured

Reach out, Reach out

So I can be sure

The sand and the gravel stuck in my knees

In a cool desert shower, she whispers a breeze

Sit facing the heavens, she said, “Son listen here.”

I’ll never forget you and the clouds disappeared

The sage potent and pure

Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on

‘Cause my vision is blurred

From the way I’ve been tempted and lured

Reach out, Reach out

So I can be sure

Piece Of Heaven

I can’t fly…but I’ll watch over you

You need a break…well I’ll help you through

You’re a little Piece of Heaven

With you I can’t lose, I can’t lose, I can’t lose

If we live to be one hundred

Will you still remember me?

And If I die tomorrow

I hope you see…what you mean to me

I can’t pry…but I’ll listen to you

You never take…I give me to you

You’re a little Piece of Heaven

With you I can’t lose, I can’t lose, I can’t lose

If we live to be one hundred

Will you still remember me?

And If I die tomorrow

I hope you see…what you mean to me

SOLO

There’s love all around

There’s love in the house

There’s love all around

You’re a little Piece of Heaven

With you I can’t lose, I can’t lose, I can’t lose

You’re a little Piece of Heaven

With you I can’t lose, I can’t lose, I can’t lose

If we live to be one hundred

Will you still remember me?

And if I die tomorrow

I hope you see…what you mean to me

Why Can’t We Be Friends?

Why can’t we be friends…why can’t we be friends…

Why can’t we be friends…why can’t we be friends

I’ve seen ya round for a long, long time

I broke your bread and you drank my wine

CHORUS

I pay my money to the welfare line

I see ya standin’ in it every time

CHORUS

The color of your skin don’t matter to me

As long as we can live in harmony

CHORUS

I kinda like to be the president

So I can show you how you’re money’s spent

CHORUS

Solo (2x)

I know you’re working for the CIA

They wouldn’t have you in the mafia

CHORUS

It’s not too late to make things right

Hey! I know what I’m talking about

Your friends are working for the CIA

You know me better than that anyway

I should have made amends before you were gone

But now I’ve said my piece and I can move on
