Gadgets Are A Girl's Best Friend
forget the diamonds
just give me gadgets
i want remote controls
for all the
household appliances
give me one for the
garage door, too
a gadget that opens
the trunk to my car
would be real cool
i'd like one of those
shampooers too that
cleans the rugs
when you're in
another room doing
something else that
requires an energy
saving gadget
gadgets aren't just
for men anymore
we women have
gadgets galore

Strength
i do not know my strength
nor see myself as other people do
i can not be all things
to others or please all for
the sake of keeping peace
death will come swiftly
when everyone wants a piece of me
and there is not enough
of me to go around
my strength slowly depletes
i turn a deaf ear to the men
whose own ears ignored my pleas
forgiving them a given
though forgetting so difficult
i release those that built this prison
i have never known my strength
to endure the unspeakable
giving life my all to
those who would just as soon
see me fall from lack of breath

Dance
dance dance dance
it's time for
a little romance
chance chance chance
catch my eye
and return my glance
dance dance dance
the music puts
me in a trance
do the mambo
with me baby
come on baby
let's dance

Peace Brother Peace
a gentle breeze blows ocean side
the easter lilies usher in the spring
and there you are with your guitar
won*t you play a song for me
cat sang about a peace train and
john imagined the world living
together in harmony but oh how now
world peace seems a far gone thing
there are so many questions
unanswered so it seems to me
while i remember days gone by
when we sang songs of love and peace
