Lyrics

[Verse 1: Andy Bey, Salome Bey] Sound your A that I might hear All vibrations in my ear Horn of life that's hard to play Out of tune most every day What's the rate that I vibrate? I'll tune up, it's not too late Aways playin' way off key Will I find the harmony? [Chorus: Andy Bey, Salome Bey, Andy & Salome Bey] When fear turns to faith and hate turns to love When we forgive those we're prejudice of When all selfish love and jealousy ends Hypocrisy leaves and courage begins When selfishness takes a generous turn And greed is snuffed out that kindness may burn Whеn worry is killed that hope may survive Whеn envy takes wings we come alive When vanity, vanity snaps and ambition starts When anger is stilled and patience imparts When we make a point to not criticize And sympathy dwells deep down in our eyes We've got to get lots of rest, and that we'll do if we're wise It's also most important that we exercise We should select natural foods and see that we bring about The proper sanitation within and without [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2: Andy Bey, Salome Bey] Once my beat is in the groove Then my rhythm will improve Horn of life, I'll master you Bringing all the music through I will try to up my rate Spreading joy when I vibrate I must practice steadily 'Til I find the melody [Chorus: Andy Bey, Salome Bey, Andy & Salome Bey] When fear turns to faith and hate turns to love When we forgive those we're prejudice of When all selfish love and jealousy ends Hypocrisy leaves and courage begins When selfishness takes a generous turn And greed is snuffed out that kindness may burn When worry is killed that hope may survive When envy takes wings and we come alive When vanity, vanity snaps (Oh, yeah) and ambition starts (Hmm mmm) When anger is stilled and patience imparts When we make a point to not criticize And sympathy dwells deep down in our eyes We've got to get lots of rest, and that we'll do if we're wise It's also most important that we exercise We should select natural foods and see that we bring about The proper sanitation within and without [Outro: Andy Bey] Sound your A that I might hear All vibrations in my ear, yeah
