1. _ You Can't Win
(from "the wiz")
You can't win
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
People kee sayin'
Things are gonna change
But they look us like
You're stayin' the same
You can't win
Get over your head
And you only have yourself to blame
You can't win chile
(you can't win chile)
You ain't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win
The world keeps movin'
And you're standin' far behind
People keep sayin'
Things'll get better
(just to ease your state of mind)
(so you lean back, and you smoke that smoke)
(and you drink your glass of wine)
So you can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win, you can't win no way
If your story stays the same
(you ain't winnin'),
No, no,
(but it's nice to see you)
(i'm awfully glad you came)
(better cool it 'cause
It ain't abour losin')
Then the world has got no shame
You can't win, chile
You can't break even
You can't get out of the game
You can't win
You can't break even
Ain't the way it's supposed to be
(you'll be spendin'),
No, no
(your little bit of money)
While someone else rides for free
(learn your lesson), ooh,
(refuel your mind)
(before someone blows out your flame)
You can't win, chile. no!
You can't win
You can't win, chile. no!
You can't win
You can't win, chile. no!
You can't win
You can't win, chile. no!
You can't win
You can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't get out of the game
You can't get out (ugh!) of the game
No, no...

2. _ Be A Lion
There is a place we'll go,
Where there is mostly quiet;
Flowers and butterflies,
A rainbow lives beside it.
And from a velvet sky,
A summer storm;
You can feel the coolness in the air
But you're still warm,
And then a mighty roar
Will start the sky to cryin';
But not even lightening
Will be frightening to my lion.
And with no fear inside,
No need to run, no need to hide,
You're standing strong and tall,
You're the bravest of them all
If on courage we must call,
Then just keep on tryin'
And tryin' and tryin'-
You're a lion,
In your own way, be a lion.
Come on, be a lion!
I'm standing strong and tall!
You're the bravest of them all!
If on courage you must call-
Keep on trying and...
Trying and trying...
I'm a lion!
In my own way, i'm a lion!

3. _ Ease On Down The Road
Come on and
Ease on down, ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down
Ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing
That might be a load
Come on, ease on down
Ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing
That might be a load
Come on, ease on down, ease on down, down the road
Pick your left foot up
When your right foot's down
Come on legs keep movin'
Don't you lose no ground
You just keep on keepin'
On the road that you choose
Don't you give up walkin'
'cause you gave up shoes, no
Ease on down, ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down
Ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing
That might be a load
Come on, ease on down
Ease on down the road
'cause there maybe times
When you think you lost your mind
And the steps you're takin'
Leave you three, four steps behind
But the road you're walking
Might be long sometimes
You just keep on steppin'
And you'll just be fine, yeah
Ease on down, ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down
Ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing
That might be a load
Come on, ease on down
Ease on down the road
Well there maybe times
When you wish you wasn't born
And you wake one morning
Just to find your courage's gone
But just know that feeling
Only last a little while
You stick with us
And we'll show you how to smile, yeah
Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down
Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down
Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down
Get 'em up, get 'em up ease on down

4. _ He's The Wizard
Written & composed: charlie smalls
Sweet thing, let me tell you 'bout
The world and the way things are;
You've come from a different place
And i know you're traveled far.
Now that you told me what it is,
I'd better point you towards the wiz
Chorus :
He's the wiz...
He's the man, he's the only one
Who can give your wish right to ya.
He's the wizard...
He'll send you back through time
By runnin' magic through ya.
All of the super power's his.
Listen and i'll tell you where he is.
He's the wiz and he lives in oz
He's the wizard,
There's the way to the emerald city,
Now that's not too far, is it?
He's the wizard,
Just take you dilemma child,
And lay it on the wizard.
He'll fix you a drink that'ss
Bubble and foam-
And in a flash you will be home
He's the wiz,
He's the wizard of oz,
He's got magic up his sleeve;
He's the wizard,
And you know without his help
'twould be impossible to leave.
Fantastic powers at his command,
And i'm sure that he will understand
He's the wiz,
And he lives in oz;
He's the wizard! he's the wizard!
He's the wizard!!!

5. _ Can I Go On?
Written & composed: quincy jones, nickolas ashford & valerie simpson
Music: quincy jones, nickolas ashford & valerie simpson
Lose it? lose it?
I don't even know the first thing about what they're feeling;
What am i afraid of?
Don't know what i'm made of,
Can i go on, not knowing?
Feeling? feeling?
Something tells me that it's more than i can deal with;
Tho i never knew the song,
Some words still catch on like caring,
And sharing being together, no matter,
Can i go on not knowing?
Don't know what i'm made of,
Why am i afraid of
Feel-ing? feel-ing? if i dare to take a chance,
Would someone lead me?

6. _ A Brand New Day
Everybody look around-
'cause there's a reason to rejoice
You see-
Everybody come out,
And let's commence to singing joyfully...
Everybody look up-
And feel the hope
That we've been waiting on-
Everybody's glad
Because our silent fear
And dread is gone...
Freedom you see,
Has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself
To check it out
Can't you feel a brand-new day?
Can't you feel a brand-new day?
Can't you feel a brand-new day?
Can't you feel a brand-new day?
Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up!
Into the morning, into happiness
Hello world!
It's like a different way of living now...
And thank you world
We'd always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony,
Let's show the world that we've got liberty
It's such a change
For us to live so independently-
Freedom, you see-
Has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about,
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand-new day?
Can't you feel a brand-new day?
Can't you feel a brand-new day?
Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up!
Into the morning, into happiness
Hello world!
It's like a different way of living now...
And thank you world
We'd always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony,
Let's show the world that we've got liberty
It's such a change
For us to live so independently-
Freedom, you see-
Has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about,
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand-new day?
Can't you feel a brand-new day?
Can't you feel a brand-new day?
Can't you feel a - brand new day?...

7. _ Soon As I Get Home
Written & composed: charlie smalls
Music: charlie smalls
There's a feeling here inside.
That i cannot hide, and i know i've tried,
But it's turning me around.
I'm not sure that i'm aware
If i'm up or down, or here or there
I need both feet on the ground.
Maybe i'm just going crazy,
Letting myself get up-tight;
I'm acting just like a baby,
But i'm- gonna be-i'm gonna be allright!
Soon as i get home
Soon as i get home
Soon as i get home
In a diff'rent place, in a diff'rent time,
Differ'rent people around me-
I would like to know of that diff'rent world
And how diff'rent they find me
And just what's a wiz, is it big?
Will it scare me?
If i ask to leave, will the wiz even hear me?
How will i know then-
If i'll ever get home again?
Here i am alone, though it feels the same,
I don't know where i'm going;
I'm here on my own, and it's not a game,
And now a strange wind is blowing
I'm so amazed at the things that i see here,
Don't want to be afraid,
I just don't wanna be here;
In my mind this is clear,
What am i doing here?
I wish i was home.

8. _ The Filling That We Have
Written & composed: charlie smalls
Music: charlie smalls
Put your arms around me child,
Like when you bumped your shin;
Then you'll know i love you now,
As i loved you then
Though you may be trying sometimes,
And i'll need you and you're not there;
You know i may get mad and turn away,
But you know that i still care
But you cannot ask for me,
Than can come from me;
I am older than you are,
And one day you'll see
If i lose my patience with you,
And i suddenly start to scream;
It's only because i just want you to be
Everything i see in my dreams
Chorus :
And i'd like to know it's there,
The feeling that we have,
When you know that you can come running to me,
Whenever times are bad
Don't lose the feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling that we have
Though you're growing older now,
And i'm watching you grow;
I know i make you sad sometimes,
And i see your feelings show.
But one day i'll look around,
And you will be grown;
You'll be out in the world,
Such a pretty girl,
But you'll be on your own
Chorus :
And i'd like to know it's there,
The feeling that we have;
Knowing that you can come to me
Whenever you are sad
Child, i'd like to know it's there,
The feel that we have-
Don't lose the feeling that we have.
Don't lose the feeling that we have
