"He's learned to lighten up, although he insists he has no regrets about abandoning music for so long. 'I had no choice. To be what you want to be, you must give up being what you are,' he reasons."

The Pied Piper by Yoriyos
Where do I go when all that I see
Are ficitious takes on reality
Who do I seek to paint my dream - or my life
Because I've tried real hard to seek out and find
An open heart, an open mind
Who will stand with me when I find
Wrong and Right?
Where will I end up on this winding road
Well nobody cares and nobody knows
But there are many of us and it just goes to show
You're not alone
When we reach there we hope to find
An open heart, an open mind
We'll stand together through Wrong and Right
Till the end of Time.

Endoscopises by Yoriyos
I made my own way - a long long time ago
Packed a book and pen - to draw up my own road
It started with a line - and to the distance I went
But I never thought I'd ever end up where I have
Many souls I've met - and many a one have told
That the journey of life - will lead you to unfold
The secrets of existence - the reason for living
But I still haven't found the happiness I'm missing
It's so easy to talk it - but much harder to find
Wisdom doesn't come with age - it comes with an open mind
Now I've been searching hard - I've travelled many miles
But The Truth isn't something you grow up believing
it's something you have to find
I've been alone for so long - and a long long time ago
I left in search of Peace and Truth - I left to find a home
I still have faith and I hope - one day I will see
When I have found myself - that you'll come and find me.

Hurricane John by Yoriyos
Hurricane John came flying down
Stole all the trees from the ground
Snatched all the clouds from the sky - I don't know why
The land's now bare with up torn earth
I've lost everything that was of any worth
It's real funny how everything's there - and then its gone
I guess that's how we lost our way
Let go of love and grew vain
But our individual lives are all the same
I guess we're not so unique anyway.
Hurricane John came flying down
Swept all the leaves off the ground
Caught the whole land by surprise - I don't know why
Everybody's crying for what they've lost
But shouldn't we be grateful for what we've got
Nothing ever lasts, ain't that the truth - just look at me and you
They said this would be how we'd lose our way
Let go of love and grow vain
But our individual lives are all the same
I guess we're not so unique anyway.

Sing: Peace Train
Peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Ngise'Khaya, Ngise'Khaya*
Come on peace train
Peace Train on its way
Oh I've been happy lately,
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be,
Some day it's going to come
Oh I've been smiling lately,
Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be,
Some day it's going to come
Some day it's going to come,
Come take me home again,
Mmm, come on peace train
Some day it's going to come,
Come on peace train,
Mmm, come take me home again,
Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Mmm, come on peace train
Ngise'Khaya, Ngise'Khaya Ngise'Khaya, Ngise'Khaya, Ngise'Khaya
Cause out on the edge of darkness,
There rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country,
Come take me home again
Oh I've been smiling lately,
Thinking about the world as one
And I believe it could be,
Some day it's going to come
Some day it's going to come,
Come take me home again,
Mmm, come on the peace train
Some day it's going to come,
Come on the peace train,
Mmm, come take me home again,
Some day it's going to come,
Some day it's going to come,
Some day - some day,
Some day it's going to come
I've been crying lately,
Thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating?
Why can't we live in bliss?
Ngise'Khaya, Ngise'Khaya Ngise'Khaya, Ngise'Khaya, Ngise'Khaya
Peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Mmm, come on peace train
Some day it's going to come,
Come take me home again,
Mmm, come on peace train
Some day it's going to come,
Come on peace train,
Mmm, come take me home again
Peace Train on its way
Come take me home again
Come take me home,
come take me home
Come take me home again,
Some day it's going to come,
Come take me home again,
Mmm, come on peace train
Some day it's going to come,
Come take me home again,
Mmm, come on peace train
Some day it's going to come,
Come take me home again,
Mmm, come on peace train
Some day it's going to come,
Come take me home again,
Mmm, come on peace train
Peace Train on its way
Peace Train on its way
Peace Train
Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train,
Peace train take this country,
Come take me home again,
Come take me home again,
Come take me home...

Curtis Mayfield's "Power to the People"
We want the Power for the People
that's all we ask in our country dear
the sick and the hungry are unable
protect them and those who may live in fear
We as the young wish to say in this song
God bless great America
We give thanks to the old
for acheiving their goal
It is now up to us
and we know we must
build up a trust
And we want the power for the people
that's all we ask in our country dear
the sick and the hungry are unable
protect them and those who may live in fear
Power for the People
Power for the People
Power for the People
Hardening crimes is a part of the times
and it's rough for some people to live
Disease can move fast
but it don't have to last
It is now the nation's turn
for all to be concerned
We can be freer still,
it is the people's will
and bring back the
Power for the People
that's all we ask in our country dear
the sick and the hungry are unable
protect them and those who may live in fear
Power for the People
Power for the People
Power for the People
Power for the People
Power for the People
Power...
