21st Century by Steve Laffy © Verse 1 When I stop and look around the place, So much trouble, in the human race. So many people, so much pain. Now’s the time, to try again. I know a new way can be found, Now two thousand’s come around Lets make life better in the 21st Century Lets make life better in the 21st Century Verse 2 When will there be justice around the world. Peace and freedom for every boy and girl. Enough clothes to wear, enough food to eat. Let there be dancing and singing in the street. Lets hope these things will all be found Now two thousand’s come around Lets make life better in the 21st Century Lets make life better in the 21st Century S O L O S Verse 3 No more fighting, no more war There’s better things, worth living for. No more hunger, no more hate. Let's do it now, before it gets too late. Let’s learn to smile instead of frown Now two thousand’s come around Lets make life better in the 21st Century Lets make life better in the 21st Century D R U M M I N G B R E A K Verse 4 Let the children live and grow, Let the farmer reap and sow. Let the preacher man, sing his hymn, Everybody, learn to sing. Let’s hear that magic sound, Now two thousand’s come around Lets make life better in the 21st Century Repeat till end

You’re Not Alone By Steve Laffy VERSE 1 When you feel you’ve got the blues Got nothing else to loose, don’t worry Or when you feel you’re all alone. So very far from home, don’t worry If Lady Luck has passed you by And you feel you’re gonna cry, don’t worry When everything goes wrong Just listen to my song, please don’t worry CHORUS You’re not a, you’re not alone in this world. You’re not a, you’re not alone in this world You’re not alone ( backing )....when you're in my world You’re not alone ( backing )... yeh, yeh, yeah You’re not alone ( backing )... when you're in my world.. .you’re not alone VERSE 2 When trouble comes along And all you’re money's gone, don’t worry When you’re feeling down, And you’re friends are messing round, don’t worry When you feel that hope has gone, And it’s hard to carry on, don’t worry When everything goes wrong Just listen to my song, don’t worry REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE When trouble comes around, knocks right on your door Tries to put you down, right down on the floor Try not to worry babe, don’t let it get you down. ‘Cause happiness is coming around REPEAT CHORUS - S O L O S VOCAL BACK IN WITH CHORUS CHORUS You’re not alone, when you're in my world (times 4 last time)

about

- Believe in a bright future
During the 21st Century, Rhythm Rising wish to use our music to encourage a positive movement for us all during these next 100 years.

We are here to see this new century in and will leave this world to the next generation to follow. What we choose to do (or not do) during our lives can make a big difference for the future.

Trk 1 When 2000 Comes (written by Steve Laffy) - hope for the future.
Trk 2 You're Not Alone (written by Steve Laffy) - we can all feel lonely.
Trk 3 Out On The Street (written by Steve Laffy & Andy Cleveland) - the homeless need our help.
Trk 4 Everybody Needs Somebody (written by Steve Laffy) - yes, we all need others for support.
