LYRICS: ============== You could make me feel so good As just a stranger down the street, You could make me feel so good With a friendly smile or sayin' something sweet You could really boost the mood Make everyone feel so good Give just a moment of sight To share out your inner light If everyone could just be kind? You can shame with your point of view, Let those you see sink on into the blue, You can defy, deride, and demean, Be the mean dean behind the screen, But there's no glory for the victor, Just a wider gulf between the two of us, So keep your darkness to a whisper, And see what the variety can teach us, We all just want to be loved and heard, Be the preacher of the good word, We just want to be loved and heard, Be a shinin' glow upon this world, We've got to show compassion Give kindness to those we meet Compassion is not a passive action You must extend out to all those in reach Don't you want to wear a smile Feel that happiness in your feet Don't you want to smile all the while With each step a bounce and a beat Let that positive glow inside be free Spread that smile like a wave to those you greet And you feel that sweet treat of me to you, and you to me when our eyes just briefly meet And I respect you, and you respect me, Let's share that moment of love... And though we're just strangers on the street, You just made me feel so good You could really boost the mood Make everyone feel so good Give just a moment of sight To share out your inner light If everyone could just be kind?

LYRICS: ============== She's got two jobs, to make her bread, She works so hard, to keep her babies fed, She has to close her mind, to all the nasty things he said, She has to stand twice as tall, so the man don't think she's red She's just.... an everyday woman.... There are no safe streets, Where the eyes don't creep, There are no place to work, Where her body's off the heap, If she don't wear a smile, They call her bitch, they call her hostile, And no one hears her point of view, Unless a man had said it too. She's just.... an everyday woman.... She's forced to play the meek, Stay quiet, rarely speak, Kept away as his treasure Be a fountain of his pleasure, She lives in bondage to his word, Crying out, but never heard, She's always left objectified, Wanting out, but petrified, She's just.... an everyday woman....

about

This is our first attempt into the funk and soul genre. Bringing back a classic sound with some fresh flavors. This album focuses on a lot of major society topics steeped within that great goovin' sound.
