ORINGAL SONGS
FROM WALTER BOWMAN LITTRELL


THESE UNEMPLOYMENT BLUES


NUMBERS ON THE NEWS
THEY DON’T EVER SHOW
ALL THE WORN OUT SHOES
PRESIDENT GOT HIS NAFTA
AND HIS WTO
WE’RE HURTIN’ DOWN IN TEXAS
AND UP TO OHIO

THEY TOOK MY JOB AND SHOVED IT
DOWN THE OLD RAT HOLE
SENT THE JOBS TO ASIA
AND OLD MEXICO
CEO GOT HIS BONUS
AND MILLIONS WITH HIS TEA
I JUST GOT A PINK SLIP
AND IT’S THE STREET FOR ME

BILLIONS GO FOR MISSILES
ROCKETS TO THE STARS
WEAPONS OF DESTRUCTION
PRESIDENT’S FOREIGN WARS
HOW DO I PAY OUR DOCTOR
IF I CAN’T FIND WORK
IF I CAN’T EARN A PAYCHECK
I FEEL LIKE A JERK


IF I DON’T PAY MY MORTGAGE
BANK’LL TAKE MY HOME
CONGRESS TAKES OUR TAXES
DEBTS FOR YEARS TO COME
WHAT ABOUT OLD LINCOLN
JACKSON – WASHINGTON
GOT NONE IN MY POCKET
GOT NONE FOR MY SON


BLACK STALLION


ONCE  UPON A TIME A BLACK STALLION
WAS BORN A SLAVE TO MEN’S GREED
SAVED BY A BOY ON A STORMY SEA
SAVED THE CHILD ONCE HE WAS FREE


THE BOY ALL ALONE ON A DISTANT SHORE
HIS FATHER LOST ON THE SHIP AT SEA
A VISION CAME FROM ANCIENT LORE
THE BLACK STALLION BECAME HIS DESTINY


THE STALLION CAME IN MYSTERY
BLACK SHINING COAT LIKE EBONY
THE BOY’S LOVE SHOWED LOYALTY
HE BECAME A PRINCE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE


ON HOOVES AS SWIFT AS LIGHTNIN STEEL
FREE AS THE WIND THE BOY COULD FEEL
A BACK SO STRONG & SMOOTH TO RIDE
WITH A HEART & A SPIRIT FILLED WITH PRIDE


HOPE FOR FREEDOM


THERE IS HOPE- HOPE FOR FREEDOM
HOPE FOR PEACE FOR EVERY LAND
THERE IS HOPE IN A SPIRIT
FOR THOSE WHO NEED A HAND

THERE  ARE HARD TIMES IN PRISON
THERE ARE HARD DRUGS ON THE STREET
HARD LIVES ARE WASTIN’
DEMONS WE MUST MEET

THERE’S A NEW DAY ACOMIN’
WE ARE LEARNING HOW TO COPE
DAY BY DAY WE’RE SHOWING
NEVER GIVE UP HOPE

SO NO MATTER YOUR RELIGION
NO MATTER SEX OR RACE
OUR FAMILY PULLS TOGETHER
WE FEEL ITS WARM EMBRACE

IN OUR HEARTS WE ARE CHANGING
AS WE STRUGGLE TO GET FREE
OUR LIVES ARE REARRANGING
THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU AND ME

THERE IS HOPE- HOPE FOR FREEDOM
HOPE FOR PEACE FOR EVERY LAND
THERE IS HOPE IN A SPIRIT
FOR THOSE WHO NEED A HAND



SEEDS FOR LOVE


ALOHA NUI LOA I LOVE YOU
SPIRIT  HAWAII OCEAN OF BLUE
SEEDS OF ALOHA  HAPPINESS FOR TWO 
ISLAND OF FLOWERS WAITS THERE FOR YOU

MIRACLE OF BIRTH BROUGHT US HERE
SPARK OF MIRTH - BABY’S TEAR
FORGIVE OUR HURT, ENDURE OUR PAIN
COOL SIPS OF WATER FALL WITH THE RAIN


WE CAN BE SEEDS FOR LOVE
ALOHA - SEEDS FOR LOVE
A TINY SEED  MADE A TREE
SEEDS OF LOVE MADE YOU AND ME

MEANING OF LIFE WE MAY ASK
BUT SHARING LOVE IS OUR TASK
SHALL WE PURSUE  LIFE WITH GREED
OR PLANT A GARDEN FOR FUTURE SEED


IN THE END WHEN LIFE IS DONE
AROUND THE BEND WHAT WAS WON?
NOW IS THE TIME THIS IS OUR DAY
FIELDS OF FLOWERS SHOW US THE WAY
