Children's posthumous SOS Song to the late Ray Charles
THE MAN WHO HELPS LIGHT UP THE WORLD ©
    
We're standing
together as one
And we're looking for that shining star.
We can feel you with our trust but can't see you,
We know you're not so very far.
* * *
The people are
waiting.... anticipating,
The music is playing...and the flags 'unfurled.
Step forth, Ray Charles. Step forth, Ray Charles
The man who helps light up the world.
* * *
Your glow is still
here where you've passed,
You light up the world on your way,
You leave people glowing with hap-happiness,
Please play some more Papa Ray.
* * *
We hear your voice,
it lifts hopes high,
To see what a poor kid has done.
You show anything can be gained if you try,
An' impossible's a word to overcome.
* * *
So where are you now
Papa Ray?
We're calling on God's telephones.
Are you getting ready to light up the lights,
Or out having beers with Quincy Jones?
* * *
Your glow is still
here where you've passed,
You light up the world on your way,
You leave people glowing with hap-happiness,
Please play some more Papa Ray.
* * *
Oh Papa Ray, Papa Ray
we sure need you,
To make impossible come true,
We're praying you'll come and show us how,
So hurry back 'cause we miss you.
* * *
When you travel take
care, take care,
Think of us wherever you go,
Remember always that we love you,
That's what we really want you to know.
* * *
Your glow is still
here where you've passed,
You light up the world on your way,
You leave people glowing with hap-happiness'
Please, please oh please, please, please oh please,
* * *
Please...play some
more Pa-pa Ray.

The
song that children are seeking help with:
THE SOULMAN'S MESSAGE ©
(Spoken) I remember the words of a lovely lady,
Devoted to my happiness and health,
"Some day I won’t be ‘round to help you,
then you'll have to help yourself."
* * *
You’re little and
best friend leaves life early,
Then your feelings are tempered in a forge.
They pass through a furnace called your soul,
I still miss you, God bless you, brother George.
* * *
If you start down
your road drifting blues,
And feel, life heavy on your chest,
Give your all to every job, don't complain,
Show you're worthy to stand with the best.
* * *
Smiles, like souls,
are for sharing,
And the Soulman's message is to give.
Give with your heart and soul, all your love,
'cause giving is the best way to live.
* * *
Set your sights on
spreading some happiness,
'cause that's what makes this world bright.
And if the work of your life's been worthy,
They'll say, you helped turn on the light.
* * *
When you find you're
down, don't worry,
Every tough situation has its reward.
When people are poor it brings togetherness,
Each one brought me closer to The Lord.
* * *
Smiles, like souls,
are for sharing,
And the Soulman's message is to give.
Give with your heart and soul, all your love.
'cause giving is the best way to live.
* * *
We all make big
errors, its true that's life,
But don't you let hate burn in your heart.
Its the biggest error of life you can make.
Always turn 'round, give love another start.
* * *
The day will come,
when you'll look back,
And by your giving, be judged from the crowd.
If your life has been filled with forgiving,
You'll know, you've done your momma proud.
* * *
Smiles, like souls,
are for sharing.
And the Soulman's message is to give.
Give with your heart and soul, all your love,
'cause giving is the best way to live.
