1. Love Is My Religion (Live From Soho)

Love is my religion, Love is my religion, Love is my religion
I’ll take you to the temple tonight

All my days I’ve been searching, to find out what this life is worth
Through the books and bibles of time I’ve made up my mind
I don’t condemn, I don’t convert, this is a calling have you heard
Bring all the lovers to the fold, cause no one is gonna lose their soul

[Chorus:] Love is my religion (Love is my religion)
Love is my religion (Love is my religion)
Love is my religion
Hey you can take it or leave it, and you don’t have to believe it

I don’t want to fight, hey let’s go fly a kite
There’s nothing that we can’t cure, and I’ll keep you in my arms for sure
So don’t let nobody stop us, free spirits have to soar
With you I share the gift, the gift that we now know oh oh oh

[Chorus]

Well I’m done searching now, I found out what this life is worth
Not in the books that I find, but by searching my mind
I don’t condemn, I don’t convert
This is the calling have you heard, bring all the lovers to the fold
No one is gonna lose their soul

Love is my religion (Love is my religion)
Love is my religion (Love is my religion)
Love is my religion
Hey you can take it or leave, and you dont have to believe it

[Chorus]

2. Dragonfly (Live From Soho)

Everybody’s worried about time
But I just keep that shit off my mind
People living on twenty four hour clocks
But we’re on a ride that never stops

Hey mister bee the world change but you remain the same
And I wonder how you’ll survive with the environment going down the drain
Hey miss dragonfly I see you look at me with your beautiful eyes
You must be wondering what type of creature am i

A dog looked at me and said ziggy why can’t we trust man
Puss and me get together why can’t you all just understand
An old tree stood there silently listening to every word we said
As a tear fell he cried what type of creature is man

I said hey mister tree the world change but you remain the same
And I wonder how you survive with the environment going down the drain
Hey miss butterfly I see you look at me with your beautiful eyes
You must be wondering what kind of creature am i
You must be wondering what kind of creature am i

Everybody’s worried about time
But I just keep that shit off my mind
People living on twenty four hour clocks
But we’re on a ride yes we’re on a ride we’re on a ride that never stops

Hey mister bee the world change but you remain the same
And I hope you’ll survive with the environment going down the drain
Hey miss butterfly I see you look at me with your beautiful eyes
You must be wondering what type of creature am i
You must be wondering what type of creature is man

4. Redemption Song (Live From Soho)

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the ‘and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won’t you help to sing
These songs of freedom? –
‘Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
‘Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it’s just a part of it:
We’ve got to fulfil de book.

Won’t you help to sing
These songs of freedom? –
‘Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

[Guitar break]

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
‘Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it’s just a part of it:
We’ve got to fulfill the book.
Won’t you help to sing
These songs of freedom? –
‘Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs –
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.

5. Cry, Cry, Cry (Live From Soho)

Hey… I’m gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free
I’m gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free

Mommy loves to work and daddy loves to play
Sometimes daddy got to go far away
I’m too young to go quiet in the night
Try to put me to sleep I’m gonna give it a fight

I’m gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free
I’m gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free

Wake you up at 5 am
Before the sunrise I’ll be your friend
And you know I don’t like for you to take too long
Just come running when you hear this song

[Chorus]

Well now….I’m gonna miss you now Mr. Far Away
Paint a picture of you and send it off today
And when you come home you can bring it back to me
Color in the lines, define this whole world for me

[Chorus]

Practice makes perfect and that I agree
So don’t be surprised that I want to be free
I know what I know and that’s all that I know
But I been told you reap what you sow

[Chorus]

Mama’s telling me what to eat today
But I don’t feel like I’m gonna go that way
What I need is something sweet and nice
What I need is a treat alright

I’m gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free
I’m gonna cry, cry, cry. Set the children free
Set the children free. Set the children free
Set the children free

Free up their hearts, free up their minds
Set the children free
Free up their dreams and their imagination

Set the children free
Set the children free

6. Higher Vibrations (Live From Soho)

These city walls
Are like a prison
Why we gotta keep on living
With our backs against the wall

We are creatures of love
Victims of hate
We gotta keep on living
With our backs against the wall

No No No
Start living on a higher vibration
Now we take it to the heights of creation

Perfection of divinity
Is everyone’s duty
Don’t waste your time
Living for the vanities
We are creatures of faith
Victims of destiny
Which we create

Now we living on a higher vibration
‘Cause we take it to the heights of creation

You know what I’m talking ’bout
don’t tell me no
Baby I could scream and shout
But I won’t
It’s a human experience
On another sphere
Well, it’s a human existence
On another wavelength

Listen to me now
Now We living on a higher vibration
Then we take it to the heights of creation

Let me take you little higher
And then you take me little higher

7. Ziggy Says (Live From Soho)

Ziggy says lift up your hands
Ziggy says lift up your feet
Ziggy says smile
Ziggy says make the sign of peace

Ziggy says wiggle your waist
Ziggy says wiggle your nose
Ziggy says wiggle your toes
Ziggy says hug who you know

Ziggy says stand real tall
Ziggy says bend real low
Ziggy says look up and down
Ziggy says smile some more

Ziggy says look to the left
Ziggy says look to the right
Ziggy says turn in a circle
Ziggy says stop and say hi

Ziggy says sing like a bird
Ziggy says hiss like a snake
Ziggy says roar like a lion
Ziggy says talk like an ape

Ziggy says close your eyes
Ziggy says open them wide
Ziggy says spread your wings
Ziggy says imagine you can fly

Imagine you can fly
Imagine you can fly

Ziggy says lift your hands
Ziggy says lift up your feet
Ziggy says smile
Ziggy says make the sign of peace

Ziggy says wiggle your waist
Ziggy says wiggle your nose
Ziggy says wiggle your toes
Ziggy says hug who you know

Ziggy says stand real tall
Ziggy says bend real low
Ziggy says look up and down
Ziggy says smile some more

Ziggy says look to the left
Ziggy says look to the right
Ziggy says turn in a circle
Ziggy says stop and say hi

Ziggy says sing like a bird
Ziggy says hiss like a snake
Ziggy says roar like a lion
Ziggy says talk like an ape

Ziggy says close your eyes
Ziggy says open them wide
Ziggy says spread your wings
Ziggy says imagine you can fly

Imagine you can fly
Imagine you can fly
Imagine you can fly
Imagine you can fly
Imagine you can fly

Imagine you can fly
Imagine you can fly
Imagine you can fly

Come on, come on

8. Three Little Birds (Live From Soho)

“Don’t worry about a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right! ”

Rise up this mornin’,
Smile with the risin’ sun,
Three little birds
Each by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin’, (“This is my message to you-ou-ou: “)

Singin’: “Don’t worry ’bout a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.”
Singin’: “Don’t worry (don’t worry) ’bout a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right! ”

Every little thing gonna be all right. Don’t worry! ”
