TFT: Sly and The Family Stone


Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair while others will be quite obviously fervent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Everyday People
Sly and The Family Stone
All together now

Yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah
Yeah yeah

Oh sha sha

Sometimes I'm right
And I can be wrong
My own beliefs
Are in my song
The butcher
The banker
The drummer
And then
Makes no difference
What group I'm in

I
Am everyday people
Yeah yeah

There is a blue one
Who can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one
Trying to be a skinny one
Different strokes
For different folks
And so on
And so on
And scooby dooby doo

Oh sha sha
We got to live together
Oh sha sha

I am no better
And neither are you
We are the same
Whatever we do
You love me
You hate me
You know me
And then
You can't figure out
The bag I'm in

I
Am everyday people
Yeah yeah

There is a long hair
That doesn't like the short hair
For being such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes
For different folks
And so on
And so on
And scooby dooby doo

Oh sha sha
We got to live together
Oh sha sha

I am no better
And neither are you
We are the same
Whatever we do
You love me
You hate me
You know me
And then
You can't figure out
The bag I'm in

I
Am everyday people
Yeah yeah

There is a long hair
That doesn't like the short hair
For being such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes
For different folks
And so on
And so on
And scooby dooby doo

Oh sha sha
We got to live together
Oh sha sha

There is a yellow one
That won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one
That won't accept the white one
Different strokes
For different folks

Oh sha sha
We got to live together
Oh sha sha

There is a yellow one
That won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one
That won't accept the white one
Different strokes
For different folks
And so on
And so on
And scooby dooby doo

Oh sha sha
I
Am everyday people
Yeah yeah

Oh sha sha
We got to live together
Oh sha sha


Stand!
Sly and The Family Stone
Stand
In the end
You'll still be you
One that's done
All the things
You set out to do
Stand
There's a cross
For you to bear
Things to go through
If you're goin' anywhere

Stand
For the things
You know are right
It's the truth
That’s the truth
Makes them so uptight
Stand
All the things
You want are real
You have you
To complete
And there is no deal

Stand
Stand
Stand
Everybody
Yeah
Stand
Stand
Stand

Stand
You've been sitting
Much too long
There's a permanent crease
In your right and wrong
Stand
There's a midget
Standing tall
And a giant
Beside him
About to fall

Stand
Stand
Stand
Stand
Stand
Stand

Stand
They will try
To make you crawl
And they know
What you're sayin'
Makes sense at all
Stand
Don't you know
That you are free
Well at least in your mind
If you want to be

Everybody
Stand
Stand

Stand
Na na na na na
Na na na
Na na

Stand
Na na na na na
Na na na
Na na

Stand
Na na na na na
Na na na
Na na

Stand
Na na na na na
Na na na
Na na

Stand
Na na na na na
Na na na
Na na
