Adam Composer(s): Richie Havens Performer(s): Richie Havens
In the dawning waking hour He'll lift his head and brush his eyes With gentle strokes That will only blindly mislead him Into the first day of creation Which he only sees in limitation
Now he sits upon his empty bed His heart is warm, his heart is full And he can see But it is impossible for him to retain me For his arms are without form He cannot know the word As his mind cries out absurd
Now he's standing inside the doorway He is afraid but he believes all that he sees On the floor Where everything is merging And pictures he sees are tragic As he begins to believe in magic
Now he lies down in a hole Down in the ground, where it is cold And now he knows Now he realizes his biggest mistake That he never had to grow old That he never had to grow cold and die

We may not have a home to call our own But we're gonna make it, I know we will We may have to fight hardships alone But we're gonna make it, I know we will 'Cause togetherness brings peace of mind We can't stay down all the time I've got your love and you know you got mine So we're gonna make it, I know we will
Our car may be old, our two rooms cold But we're gonna make it, I know we will We may not can spare a roach a crumb But we're gonna make it, I know we will And if I have to carry 'round a sign Sayin' "Help the deaf, the dumb, and the blind" I got your love and you know you got mine So we're gonna make it, I know we will
We're gonna make it (We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it) We're gonna make it, baby (We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it) It might seem hard sometime (We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it) But don't worry, darlin' baby (We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it) We're gonna keep on tryin' (We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)

Adagio Composer(s): M. Nobile - V. Buffoli - P. Limiti Performer(s): Mina
Adagio parla piano stasera o gli altri capiranno di noi... balliamo, ma non stringermi ancora nel buio vedo gli occhi di lei...
Adagio, no, non farle capire che il cuore scoppia dentro di noi... non deve cominciare a soffrire se t'amo non è colpa di lei
Amore non guardarmi così non puoi guardarmi oppure non ce la farò... Sul collo il tuo respiro ormai mi fa impazzire ti prego non lo fare, no, o morirò! Morirò
Lontano sento battere l'ora... il mondo è la fuori e lo sai adagio piango adagio stasera nel mondo tu ritorni con lei
Amore non guardarmi così non puoi guardarmi oppure non ce la farò... Sul collo il tuo respiro ormai mi fa impazzire ti prego non lo fare, no, o morirò! Morirò, morirò

Well the milkman's a spy, and the grocer keeps on following me And the woman next door's an undercover for the K.G.B. And the man from the Social Security Keeps on invading my privacy Oh there ain't no cure for acute schizophrenia disease
I've got acute schizophrenia paranoia too Schizophrenia, schizophrenia I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose Acute schizophrenia blues
I'm lost on the river, the river of no return I can't make decisions, I don't know which way I'm gonna turn Even my old dad, lost some of the best friends he ever had Apparently, his was a case of acute schizophrenia too
I got acute schizophrenia paranoia too Schizophrenia, schizophrenia I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose Acute schizophrenia blues
They're watching my house and they're tapping my telephone I can't trust nobody, but I'm much too scared to be on my own And the income tax collector's got his beady eye on me Oh there ain't no cure for acute schizophrenia disease

Acuarela Del Río Composer(s): Abel Montes) Performer(s): Raphael; Vlamers
Un canilla poi Una balsa una guaina Una flor en el río Un paisaje de cielo Reflejan las aguas del gran Paraná Mas allá, un camalote Va flotando hacia la orilla Que arbolada de sauces Nos invita a soñar Acuarela del río Que pintas de luces Mi dulce romance En el mundo no hay marco Más divino y bello Para nuestro amor Con su sol Con sus cálidos matices Con su brisa perfumada En mágico arrebol De un lento atardecer A la deriva el bote va Con mi amada por el río Meciéndonos con su vaivén Que acompasa nuestro amor Y apoyada en mi hombro Me murmura al oído Mientras beso sus manos Completan mi dicha Aromas de azahar
Were Gonna Change The World Composer(s): Ted Harris; Dave Matthews Performer(s): Matt Monro
Shirley Wood gulped down her breakfast Shut the fridge and joined the throng Margaret Beatty snatched the milk in Scanned the news and went along Annie Harris drew the curtains Screwed her eyes up, had a peek Saw the marchers, heard their voices Making early morning noises Stumbled back to bed and tried to sleep
Come with us, run with us Were gonna change the world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world Were gonna change your world
Shuffling through the cold black morning Went the marchers, spirits low Grunting greetings, grimly pressing Onto where they had to go When the sun came up, they brightened Stopped to have their Thermos brew Annie Harris got up gladly Pondered for a little, sadly Then got on with what she had to do
So, come with us, run with us Were gonna change the world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world Were gonna change your world
At their target, numbers swollen Up the marches, banners go Chanting, shouting out with leaflets Protest for everyone to know Sit in front of all the traffic Harried, busy shopping wives Try to stir their ostritch notions Whip them up to wild emotions Put some fire into their wretched lives
So, come with us, run with us Were gonna change your world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world Were gonna change your world
Shirley Wood was dragged still sitting By a policeman from the road Margaret Beatty had her face slapped By a man she tried to goad Annie Harris in the office Paused in typing, thought of Don Glanced again at his last letter Died for others to live better Brushed away a tear and carried on
Come with us, run with us Were gonna change the world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world Were gonna change.. Come with us, run with us Were gonna change your world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world Were gonna change.. So, come with us, run with us Were gonna change your world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world
