Músicos invitados: Ben Bridges (Guitar), Michael Sembello (Guitar), Stevie Wonder (Vocals)[X]Born to open forletra de Same Old Story
Mankind nature's door
A life known by a few
And those who knew that shared
Their knowledge fewer cared
About what plants could do
For most felt it was mad to conceive
That plants thought, felt, and moved quite like we
But with instruments Bose would devise
Would take Science itself by a surprise, so
On we go to where who knows
To a place where there's still non-believers
What will it take for heaven sakes
For those who find what's real too hard to believe in
It's that same old story again.
Born of slaves who died
Too soon to realize
The need his life would be
Selflessy he gave
His wisdom to a way
Where first no minds would see
He said if farm land was to be rich
We must plant crops to replenish it
But it took him persuasion and tests
To convince them Canver's way was best, so
On we go to where who knows
To a place where there's still non-believers
What will it take for heaven sakes
For those who find what's real too hard to believe in
It's that same old story again. - Venus' Flytrap and the Bug 2:24

Where every heart can
Share in the joy of giving
It like no other
Has love to cover
Bearing no price on living
Quietty listen and you might hear them singing their lullaby
Calling for you to join in their love filled garden

Letras: Michael SembelloMúsicos invitados: Stevie Wonder (Vocals)[X]Pan is my nameletra de Power Flower
I live outside the door
I have to keep the score of things around you
Fire and air,
water I prepare
I am the piper at the gates of dawning
It's not magic it's not madness
Just the elements I style
And I guarantee faithfully I will never go
Until all is said and done
In a twinkling I'll be gone
Well excuse me I have so much more to do
Fancy I fell,
A childlike tap I'll steal
Look twice my friend it's not the wind at all
You'll never see,
What you refuse to be
The power in the seeing is believing.
It's not magic it's not madness
Just the elements I style
And I guarantee faithfully I will never go
Until all is said and done
In a twinkling I'll be gone
Well excuse me I have so much more to do
It's not magic it's not madness
Just the elements I style
And I guarantee faithfully I will never go
Until all is said and done
In a twinkling I'll be gone
Well excuse me I have so much more to do

Músicos invitados: Ben Bridges (Guitar), Rick Zunigar (Guitar), Stevie Wonder (Vocals)[X]Send her your loveletra de Send One Your Love
With a dozen roses
Make sure that she knows it
With a flower from your heart
Show him your love
Don't hold back your feelings
You don't need a reason
When it's straight from the heart
I've heard so many say that the days of romance are no more
And people falling in love is so old fashioned
But waiting are they the day they once let slip away
Hiding need to fulfill their heart's desire for love’s passion
Send her your love
With a dozen roses
Make sure that she knows it
With a flower from your heart
Show him your love
Don't hold back your feelings
You don't need a reason
When it's straight from the heart
I know that people say two hearts beating as one is unreal
And can only happen in make believe stories
But so blind they all must be that they cannot believe what they see
For around us are miracles of love’s glory
Show him your love
Don't hold back your feelings
You don't need a reason

They're race babbling
This world is moving much to fast
The end’s unravelling
Man's production
Life's corruption
World destruct
Help me people
Save you people
God's induction
Life's construction
These instruct
Will save every living thing
Can't you see that
Life's connected
You need us to live
Both we don't need you
This world is moving much to fast
They're race babbling
This world is moving much to fast
They're race babbling
This world is moving much to fast
The end's unravelling
This world is moving much too fast
You can't conceive the nucleus of all
Begins inside a tiny seed
And what you see as insignificant
Man's production
Life's corruption
World destruct
Help me people
Save you people
God's induction
Life's construction
These instruct
Will save every living thing
Can't you see that
Life's connected
You need us to live
Both we don't need you
This world is moving much to fast
This world is moving much to fast
They're race babbling
This world is moving much to fast
They're space travelling
This world is moving much to fast
They're race babbling
This world is moving much to fast
The end's unravelling
This world is moving much to fast
This world is moving much to fast
This world is moving much to fast
They're race babbling
This world is moving much to fast
They're space travelling

Much has been written about
The world and all its kind of loves
But the sweetest of them all
You seldom will find stories of, oh oh oh oh
My love lives outside my window
Clouds burst to give water
So her love can grow, oh
My love smiles to me each morning
Says she’ll never leave me and I know it’s so

Says hi with every breath of air, oh oh oh oh

You will often hear her name
Describing another’s prettiness
But if ever there was choice
My flower would be the prettiest, oh oh oh oh

Clouds burst to give water
So her love can grow, oh
My love smiles to me each morning
Says she’ll never leave me and I know it’s so

Letras: Yvonne WrightMúsicos invitados: Stevie Wonder (Vocals)[X]A flake of snow within a stormletra de Black Orchid
A new way waiting to be born
In a world with need of change
A touch of love in fear of hate
A rushing wind that's asked to wait
For the promises of rain
A pearl of wisdom entrapped by poverty
She gives love with purity
Filling minds with hopeful schemes
To build worlds enhanced by peace
Draped in sparkling morning dew
She expresses life anew
From the earth beneath her feet
She is a flower that grows
In love ability
She's femininity
Black Orchid, Black Orchid
Why did they make you begin
When they know in time you'll find your truth
before your cycle ends
Black Orchid, Black Orchid
Why are you crying their fears
When the true reflection of you that they see
Is love besieged by years
She has touched the farthest star
Her beauty speaks of what we are
And her freedom makes us free
Her now is in eternity
Infinite to all that see
And her dreams have been achieved
Now there is a sound of laughter
Nature signs out her name
For the world to know her fame
Black Orchid, Black Orchid
Why did they criticize
When they knew your love could cast its spell and
consecrate their eyes
Black Orchid, Black Orchid
Why do you linger in space
When you know in every heart that beats
You hold a special place
When you know in every heart that beats
You hold a special place - Ecclesiastes 3:44

Letras: Syreeta WrightMúsicos invitados: Stevie Wonder (Backing Vocals), Syreeta (Vocals)[X]The starngest thought came to me on this morningletra de Come Back as a Flower
As I awake to greet the coming dawn
The sun was hardly peaking through the garden
It felt that with everything I was one
Then I wished that I could come back as a flower
As a flower
As a flower
How I wished that I could come back as a flower
As a flower
To spread the sweetness of love
To spread the sweetness of love
The dew had finished making love to many
A rainbow smelling sweet was in the air
I envied all the silence I saw growing
So unmoved by things outside themselves
Then how I wished that I could come back as a flower
As a flower
As a flower
How I wished that I could come back as a flower
As a flower
To spread the sweetness of love
How I wished that I could come back as a flower
Oh as a flower
As a flower
How I wished that I could come back as a flower
As a flower
As a flower
To spread the sweetness of love
To spread the sweetness of love

Begins inside a tiny seed
And what we think as insignificant
Provides the purest air we breathe
But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants
A species smaller than the eye can see
Or larger than most living things
And yet we take from it without consent
Our shelter, food, habilment
But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
Wwe find inside the Secret Life of Plants
But far too many give them in return
A stomp, cut, drown, or burn
As is they're nothing
But if you ask yourself where would you be
Without them you will find you would not
And some believe antennas are their leaves
That spans beyond our galaxy
They've been, they are and probably will be
Who are the mediocrity
But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants - Tree 5:55
