A slow moving, groovin bluesy tune that will tap a rap into you.
To "feel" the music I've put filler parts in paranthesis ( ) for
the rhythm as "harmony" not really my original lyrics Tommy
Get with it, Get with it
hmmmmm
No time like now
Get with it, Get with it
hmmmmm
work it out somehow
We all want a piece of this rugged world
(this old world what a whirl)
Be it bags of money, a mansion or a brand new pearl
(where's your pearl your shiny pearl)
Don't you know that
there are things worth much more
(yes they are so much more)
While the whole world
is hurting like it's done before
(from before what's the cure)
Get with it, Get with it
hmmmmm
Don't you hesitate
Get with it, Get with it
hmmmmm
That'll be a mistake
It seems many people find it hard to breathe
(so hard to breathe with no relief)
They've forgotten how great and lovely life can be
(yes I see why must this be)
Can't you see that
Others have a greater need
(a greater need yes indeed)
Let the whole world stop! the sickness we can see
(oh yes please could you see)
Get with it, Get with it
hmmmmm
don't be too late
Get with it, Get with it
hmmmmm
Let's eradicate hate
What do we wait for, there's much more, we can do
(yes we two we can do)
It's time for moving, I'll be busy telling you
(here's the clue feel it too)
Don't you feel that
Someone's watching over you
(yeah yeah and me too yeah yeah)
One day our whole world might stop! It's spinning off, it's cue
(off the cue what will you do)
Get with it, Get with it
hmmmmm
No time like now
Get with it, Get with it
hmmmmm
Make someone smile
-----(higher tone)-----
Get with it, Get with it
hmmmmm
Lend a good hand
Get with it, Get with it
hmmmmm
Make a strong stand
-----(softer)-----
Get with it, Get with it
hmmmmm
Don't wait too late
Get with it, Get with it
hmmmmm
Let's not hes-i-tate...........

Thank you Melissa my friend,
I was beginning to think this song was just another work. I can't explain it but this one is very special to me. I was semi conscious and I heard this in a dream, the get with it part and music. I got up, wrote this and posted it. I guess it only touches a few selected people. I know it is meant for the people who care and are not selfish with their gifts and deeds. I also knew it would be good for you. It's funny how a write effects different people in different ways and in that reguard, it helps me to want and to know good people like you better. God bless you too Melissa. I'm happy it was good for you.

Dearest Joan,

is so much pain in the world and maybe quite possibly a few songs like this could help to brighten life in the dark times for people. That is my most prized trophy and I see that would be the same for you. Take care Joan and when you pen, please send me an im so I won't miss any for I love to be inspired by
the kind hearted poets like you.

Hi Cookie,
Thank you also for your visit and reply. I'd love to put this to music. This song is actually a pop rhythm and blues soulful sound and indeed, I can do the singing to it because I live in the heart of Nashville. I'd really appreciate any support with this one. I'm giving my best effort with this song. I welcome the toughest hits I can get with this. Good to see you visit me. Take care and best wishes to you too.
Tommy -
Thank you Wolfie,
I knew you'd enjoy this because you are a sweet soul to agree,
the world needs peace and harmony. You have such a friend with your encouraging words and I'll always keep that in me to appreciate your visits. I'm happy that you enjoyed it and I'm hoping to compose this to display with the music at my site. I'll send the link when I get it done so you feel the groove to it. Until then I wish the best always.
Tommy -
