YOU'LL NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU TRY IT
YOUR SOUL CAN'T SOAR UNTIL YOU FLY IT
~Cherieamour

You'll never know... by CHAMELEON band

After touring England, France, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Japan, and Africa with the Bobby Byrd show I began to appreciate the diversity the world has to offer.  I also took a great look at how meaningful each person is to their family, and how though we are from different parts of the world, the love of family is the same.  You mean just as much to your mother as I do to mine.
Love is love, everywhere.

I know that estranged is used incorrectly in this song, but it sings so well...I left it in here, one day I may change it.

Gave Us A Name by CHAMELEON band

Bailout, Bailout, Bailout, everyone is getting a bailout except you and me.....Mainstreet.  So, I decided to write a song about it.  I just find it amazing how the rich believe that they shouldn't have to be taxed, but they are so quick to say, that the POOR need to put some skin in the game.  Give me a freakin' break.! The poor can't afford freakin' skin.  ~Cherieamour

As of June 2012...this is the sound track to the MBO line dance.  Michelle and President Barack Obama's line dance by Cherieamour!

I cast my vote on a prayer and a hope that the leaders will not be cheaters.
Bart gave me the concept about being broke and nobody having empathy for the busted.  I carried it a little further and utilized the relationship between congress/politicians and the constituencies and wrote about the fact that they say what you want to hear, but at the end of the day, do they really care for you, do they really work with your best interest in mind.  I think not.  I am speaking of some, not all politicians.

Shout out to the Legendary Bobby Byrd, Bart's Dad, for the line..."If you don't work, you don't eat!"
We miss you Pops!

"GOING HOME"
by Cherieamour
for CHAMELEON 

4x
I’m going home, home, home, home
3x
He’s coming home
He’s coming home, been gone too long
Coming back to me and our family
God truly cares, he answered all my prayers
My soldier coming home, he’s been gone way too long

He’s out there in the desert fighting hard for our freedom
I honor, and respect that, but that don’t mean that we don’t need him
Our children cry themselves to sleep, his mother’s heart aches
We’re afraid, but hopeful, as the evening news……………………

I’m coming home, desert sand so long
She’s waiting on me   Home is where I want to be
I did my time, put my life on the line
Desert sand so long, I’m going home.  Going home, going home, going home

I stand for the star spangled banner, for  the red, white, and blue.
Trying hard to be patient, even harder to be true
As the bombs burst in the air, it’s my duty to be there
Yeah, I’m bad to the bone, hear me dear Jesus help me make it back home

I’m going home, I’m going home

He’s coming home, been gone too long
Coming back to me and our family
I did my time, put my life on the line
Desert sand so long, I’m going home

He’s out there in the desert fighting hard for our freedom
I honor, and respect that, but that don’t mean that we don’t need him
Our children cry themselves to sleep, his mother’s heart aches
We’re afraid, but hopeful, as the evening news ………breaks


Going Home by CHAMELEON band

I would like to dedicate this song to the people of Haiti.  May God bless Haiti that every prayer be heard to help fortify their spirits, and bring prosperity to their homeland.

We are one by CHAMELEON Band

A dear friend of mine, Nyles Flagg,  asked me to write a song to accompany a documentary he was creating abut a drug dealer and his girlfriend.  I had absolutely nothing to draw from....but we did it.  This is the song that is most UNLIKE me, but folks seem to like it.  Hope you do too.

"I Stayed Down"
 4-18-06
 
I stayed down
I stayed down
 
Ain't nothing funny bout this dope game
don't know if we'll see tomorrow
Yeah, I love the cheese that it brings
Love my Chanel, my Gucci, my Prada
But a dolla don't mean a damn thang
If I ain't got ma man to share it wit
Get it straight
I can't wait.
I gotta make some moves.
 
Chorus:
I stayed down
when my bed was gettin cold
I stayed down
but yo promises are gettin' old
see I got ambition baby
and you being locked down
ain't gon get me uptown
Let me be da first to tell you
I'm out.
Gotta go.
I'm out.
 
Ain't got no babies, no bills ta trip about
Plenty chicks out here ta love when you get out.
 
Gave yo stash to yo cousin M.D.
Took what ya said I could have, ooh BABY.
 
Change:
Ten years.
They gave YOU ten years. 
Ten long years. 
Them ain't my years.
 
Chorus: In my defense...
I stayed down
when my bed was gettin cold
I stayed down
but your promises are gettin' old
see I got ambition baby
and you being locked down
ain't gon get me uptown
Let me be da first to tell you
I'm out.
Gotta go.
I'm out.
Ain't got no babies, no bills ta trip about
Plenty chicks out here ta love when you get out.

I stayed down

Talk it out.  Don't ever let fear, anger, or frustration consume you.  Find a good listener.  Take a very long walk.  Vent.  Rant.  Journal.  Have a talk with God.  Release it, and never hurt yourself, or anyone else.

What's on your mind (i wanna know)
