Lyrics: Lyrics for “Love is the Best” by Gustavo Monje and Dada Veda. All other lyrics by Dada Veda © 2009
We are Never Alone or Helpless
(G)
When the problems of the world lay heavy in your head,
(C) (G)
And you don’t know where to turn.
Why don’t you go inside and find your inner strength
(D) (C) (G)
And remember a lesson we must learn.
(G)
We are never alone or helpless.
(C) (G)
The force that guides the stars guides us too.
We are never alone or helpless
(D) (C) (G)
The force that guides the stars guides us too.
When you’re down and out and feeling kind of low,
Don’t give up the fight.
Because there’s one more thing I think that you should know.
You’re guided by an inner light.
We are never alone or helpless.
The force that guides the stars guides us too.
We are never alone or helpless
The force that guides the stars guides us too.
So start each day with a bouncing stride,
And finish it with a smile.
And if you should ever lose your way,
Remember He’s with us all the while.
From Zero to Hero
(D) (G)
Don’t stay down, erase that frown
(D) (A)
Your present state is not your fate.
(D) (G)
There’s more to you then you’ll ever know.
(D) (A) (D)
Reach inside and let it show.
(D) (A) (G) (D)
From zero to hero, you can make it if you try
(D) (A) (G) (D)
From zero to hero, grab some wings, we’re gonna fly.
If you’re out today, you’ll be in tomorrow,
Kick the blues, say goodbye to sorrow.
Step right up and take your place,
Wow them all with your shining face.
From zero to hero, you can make it if you try.
From zero to hero, keep on singing till you die.
Dry your eyes, forget the bad times.
Lift your chin and learn some new lines.
Start today and make your stand.
It’s time to play your winning hand.
From zero to hero, you can make it if you try.
From zero to hero, keep on singing till you die
Liberate Your Mind
(E)
The preacher man says you’re living in sin
(A )
A politician will do you in.
(E) (B7) (E)
How’s a common man to win?
(E)
You’ve got to liberate your mind from fear
(A)
The day of freedom is coming near
(E) (B7) (E)
Human life is very dear.
Someone says God’s in the east,
Another one says He’s in the west.
How to choose the very best?
You’ve got to liberate your mind from fear
The day of freedom is coming near
Human life is very dear.
Someone says, “I hate the others,
Dark skin men can’t be our brothers.”
When will we love one another?
You’ve got to liberate your mind from fear
The day of freedom is coming near
Human life is very dear.
The preacher man says you’re born in sin
A politician will do you in.
How’s a common man to win?
You’ve got to liberate your mind from fear
The day of freedom is coming near
Human life is very dear.
I Know You Can’t Be Far
(G) (C) (G) (D)
You came upon a long dark night. You came to ease my mind.
(G) (C)
Now the clouds are gone and my soul’s at peace
(G) (D) (G)
I’m waiting for another time.
(C) (G) (D) (G)
Are you hiding in the moonlight, dancing on a distant star?
(C) (G) (Am) (D)
Are you right inside my heart? I know you can’t be far.
You lit my world with a flood of light, lifted me from my gloom,
I don’t know when I will see you again,
But I am hoping that you come back soon.
Are you hiding in the moonlight, dancing on a distant star?
Are you right inside my heart? I know you can’t be far.
You took my hand and led me along, a path so straight and true,
I can’t forget what you did for me, my thoughts race back to you.
Are you hiding in the moonlight, dancing on a distant star?
Are you right inside my heart? I know you can’t be far.
I’m Waiting for that Time
(Am) (G) (Am)
I’m waitin’ for that time, yes I’m waiting for that time,
(Am) (G) (Am)
I’m waitin’ for that time, yes I’m waiting for that time,
(G) (F) (C)
When good folks will hold their heads up high
(G) (F) (C)
And hungry kids will never pierce the night with their cry,
I’m waitin’ for that time, yes I’m waiting for that time,
I’m waitin’ for that time, yes I’m waiting for that time,
When we’ll judge a man by what he does,
And not for who his father was.
I’m waitin’ for that time, yes I’m waiting for that time,
I’m waitin’ for that time, yes I’m waiting for that time,
When we’ll love one another regardless of race,
And go pitch our tents in any old place.
I’m waitin’ for that time, yes I’m waiting for that time,
I’m waitin’ for that time, yes I’m waiting for that time,
When we’ll share the earth’s bounty fair and square
And watch the world blooming everywhere
I’m waitin’ for that time, yes I’m waiting for that time,
I’m waitin’ for that time, yes I’m waiting for that time.
A Better Deal
(G) (C) (G)
I’ve got some bread on my table, salad on my plate.
(G) (Am) (D)
I just drank some juice and I’m feeling really great.
(G) (C) (G)
I don’t know why we have to kill for our meal.
(G) (Am)(D) (G)
Let’s give our furry friends a better deal
Watermelon, cantaloupe, cherries or lime,
I’m eating all these things and I’m feeling really fine.
I don’t know why we have to kill for our meal.
Let’s give our furry friends a better deal.
Carrots, potatoes, tofu and peas,
Cook them all together and you’ll get what you need.
I don’t know why we have to kill for our meal.
Let’s give our furry friends a better deal.
Let’s give our feathered friends a better deal.
Let’s give our finny friends a better deal.
Let’s give all living beings a better deal, a better deal.
My Heart Will Go on Loving You
Capo on 4th fret
(C) (F) (C) (G)
Neither dust nor haze can cover my gaze.
(C) (F) (C) (G)
Nor can snow or sleet slow my feet.
(C) (F) (C) (G)
If the wind cries out with a lonely tune,
(F) (G) (C)
Still my heart will go on loving you,
Yes my heart will go on loving you.
Let the good and bad times come my way.
I’ll be all right on any day.
In joyous crowd or in solitude
Still my heart will go on loving you.
Yes my heart will go on loving you.
I’ll walk this road with its ups and downs.
I’ll wear a smile not a frown.
Whether skies are gray or skies are blue
Still my heart will go on loving you
Yes my heart will go on loving you.
Open my heart
Capo 2nd Fret
(D) (G)
You’re the fountain of my life,
(C) (D)
The source of my might.
(G)
You sweep away the darkness
(C) (D)
With a burst of light.
(G)(C) (G) (D)
Open my heart wide,
G)(C) (G) (D)
Take me by your side.
You’re the pillar of mind,
The hope of my heart.
You wake me from my slumber,
Help me make a new start
Open my heart wide
Take me by your side.
You’re a tower of love,
A fortress of peace.
You wash away my worries,
Set my soul free.
Open my heart wide
Take me by your side.

Love is the Best
(capo 4th fret)
(D) (G)
I was walking down my street
(D) (G)
Looking for folks to greet.
D) (G)
Skipping through the park,
(D) (G)
Happy as a lark
(C) (G) (D)
Then I looked up to the sky
(C) (G) (D)
Watching the birds on high
(C) (G) (D)
And I knew it was time to fly
(G)
That’s why, I love you,
(D) (G) (D) (G)
I love me, I love you
(D) (G)
I love me
(C) (G) (D) (C) (G) (D)
Love is the Best, Love is the Best
I was sailing through the seas
Catching the ocean’s breeze
Twisting with the wind,
Watching he clouds roll in.
Then I saw your shining face,
Breaking through the haze,
Brightening up my days
That’s why, I love you,
I love me, I love you
I love me
Love is the Best, Love is the Best
I was strumming on my guitar
Gazing at a distant star
Humming a simple tune
and hoping to see you soon.
Then I heard your calling song,
It carry me along with your love so strong.
That’s why, I love you, I love me, I love you, I love me
Love is the best, Love is the Best
Good Old Kiirtan
