Joseph wrote this song back in the "80's". It's always been one of my favorites. I thank him for allowing me to use it on this CD. My brothers and I used to play it when we had our 5-piece band. We actually had Kirk play one of Rudy's old horn lines in the sax solo of this version.

Basses:

• Compito 6-string fretted

Notes:

• I had planned on having Des're sing this song.
• Tabitha sang the demo and the rest is history. She sang it so well that we kept it.

Things 2 Listen 4:

• Tabitha's great vocals
• Regi's funky plucking during the verses
• Joe's BG vocals
• Kirk's soulful solo
• Listen to how the chords on the solo cycle around and bring u back to the original key.

Lyrics:
There's a riot going on
And there's hunger in our midst.
Some people can't go on.
Some people call it quits.

When freedom is not the word
You'll find on Earth there's hell.
And U know one man saved the world
And he's in your heart as well.

(Chorus) Everybody's waiting for the hero, when the hero is in everyone.
Everybody's waiting for the hero, when the hero is in everyone.

A man is sleeping on the street
Because he has no place to live.
A millionaire is eating meat.
How come we're not more sensitive?

And when abundance is for the few
That's where the hunger lies.
Responsibility rests on U.
So keep your head up to the sky.

(Chorus)

Hear It!

Tabitha
