KINGS OF TOMORROW - FINALLY (FEAT. JULIE MCKNIGHT)
"Time marches on never ending,
Time keeps its own time,
Here we stand at beginning,
And then goes passing us by,
And I, I, I can dream for us all,
I hope I'm in a better state,
When here and now crumbles and falls
And you, you,
you who make worlds collide"

FINGERS INC. - CAN YOU FEEL IT (FEAT. CHUCK ROBERTS)
"In the beginning there was Jack
And Jack had a groove.
And from this groove

And while one day vicously throwing down on his box
Jack boldly declared, let there be house.
And house music was born!"

JOE SMOOTH - PROMISED LAND

To be in love with you is everything
To be in love is everything

STORM QUEEN - LOOK RIGHT THROUGH
"I'm quite sure
That you never knew

Of moving through the streets
Letting people in
But they don't talk to me
They look right through.”

Overcomes racial barriers
It feeds our spirits
Bringing people from all walks of life
Together as one"

I’ll go to South Africa and be called a man someday"

I can tell by the look in your eyes"
