Your Time to Go

1st composition written 1979 Elixer LP French Riviera – Lyrics and Music by J.Lawrence/Pizzuto – Recorded @EAST Studios Budapest, Hungary – Lead Guitar by Sabocz Janosi, DreamJourney CD, Silk’N’Steel Band 2001©All rights reserved.

_{Verse 1} Watch the gentle falling leaves,
Tumbling on a winter’s eve
Soon their brown will turn to gray,
Lay resting on the ground beneath
Like a gentle passing breeze,
The breath of life so softly comes
But something that you just don’t know,
Is when will come your time to go

_Chorus Your time to go,
No one knows
If you’ll see rainbows,
Or blankets of snow
Will the sun rays shine,
When it comes your time
The good Lord knows,
When it’s your time to go
Goodbye sorrow,
Goodbye pain
Bright shines tomorrow,
When we rise again

_{Verse 2} Walking down the winding road,
Thinking about the things I’ve done
Leaving all the ones I’ve known,
Wondering about the seeds I’ve sown
The clouds are gathering to receive,
The rain that’s fallen must return
We, like falling raindrops go,
Rising from the earth below

_Chorus Your time to go,
No one knows
If you’ll see rainbows,
Or blankets of snow
Will the sun rays shine,
When it comes your time
The good Lord knows,
When it’s your time to go
Goodbye sorrow,
Goodbye pain
Bright shines tomorrow,
When we rise again

_Intro When I was a young boy, my mama used to tell me
Everything was gonna’ be all right.
But when I grew older, everything was different,
I faced the world to struggle for the right; yeah…

_Chorus The right to be free, the right to be free,
The right to be, what I’ve got to be!  

_{Verse 1} As a child, I was born in the darkness of night,
 Desperately fighting for each breath of my life.
Society says, “We will bring him up right,”
But seldom gave me the chance, to walk in The Light.

_{Chorus 2} With the right to be free, the right to be free,
The right to be what I’ve got to be, yeah.
I’ve got the right to be free, the right to be free,
The right to be what I’ve got to be!

_{Verse 2} So tell me, what could I gain if the whole world came kneeling,
 Bowing down to the soles of my feet,
Just to offer me gold and a life without feeling,
 Starving my soul from a life more complete? Yeah, yeah!

_{Chorus 3} Got the right to be free, I’ve a right to be free, like a bird in the sky.
 Free, with true love in my eyes!
I’ve got the right to be free, oh, the right to be free,
The right to be what I’ve got to be!  

_{Verse 3} So come with me now, life is worth livin’
If you’ll turn your face to the needy and poor.
Take the pathway of freedom
That leads straight to Heaven.
When you give all you’ve got,
You’ll find there’s a whole lot more,
Yeah, yeah! [There’s a whole lot more!]

_{Chorus 4} You’ve got the right, to be free, [the right to be free,]
Oh, the right to be free, [the right to be free,] like a bird in the sky.
 Free, [yeah,] yeah, with true love in your eyes!
You’ve got the right to be free, [the right to be free,]
Oh, the right to be free, [the right to be free,]
Ah, the right to be, [yeah,] what you’ve got to be!

_{Chorus 5} Yeah, the right to be free, [the right to be free.]
Take the pathway of freedom, baby, [the right to be free,]
That leads straight to Heaven, [yeah.]
_Coda  Ah, the right to be free,
With true love in your eyes! [The right to be free,]
You’ve got the right to be free, [the right to be free,]
The right to be, [yeah,] what God wants you to be!
The right to be free, ah, the right to be free,
You’ve got the right to be free,-free!

 

I HAD A DREAM

_{Lyrics and music written and composed 1969 by Jason Lawrence Pizzuto all rights reserved1993©Aurora Productions}

Well, I had a dream, just the other night,
I saw my Lord Jesus, what a heart-breaking sight,
You know He suffered and bled, for you and me,
Reaching out His hand, He showed it to me
Where the nails had punctured, the smooth skin of His palm,
Sweetly saying He loved me, so clearly and calm.
He said I am the way, the truth and the life
No man will see Heaven, except by my light

Now go and tell others, to come unto me,
That I am the door in which, salvation is free,
So here I am now, I’m just pleading with you,
To take my precious Jesus, so alive and so true,
That He may take you, and mold you to be,
A strong striving branch on, God’s living tree

 

CREATION SINGS

_{^{Author and Composer Jason Lawrence
Lead vocal Jason Lawrence/Female vocal Theresa Martin/Slide Guitar Jeremy Spencer}}

Verse 1 Creation sings, my heart brings
Salvation, joy, thanksgiving
Summer winds, return again
And I know I’m alive and breathing

Chorus: And we’ve got to return to the garden of Eden
To the lost paradise of God’s will
To the pure gentle loving of each man and each woman
By the streams of the rivers of the hills

Oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oo-oh-oh
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo-oo

Verse 2 The birds sing praise, His song is raised
Creations groans to be delivered
The flower is crushed, the perfume is pressed
The secret of its sweetness is discovered

Chorus X 2 And we’ve got to return to the garden of Eden
To the lost paradise of God’s will
To the pure gentle loving of each man and each woman
By the streams of the rivers of the hills

Coda: Fadeout end_ Oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oo-oh-oh, Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo-oo
