TO KNOW, TO UNDERSTAND, TO BE Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1972, 2021
To know, to understand, to be To grow into a man who's free Bestow a new command on me And know the upperhanded key
To know, to understand, to be Aglow's the flaming brand you see Below the human-standing knee To go over land and sea
To know, to understand, to be Outgrow the Faerieland's esprit O'erthrow, and countermand, then flee And sow the Fatherland's decree
To know, to understand, to be To blow the second hand agree And throw the fire-branded tree Tableaus we will disband for thee

DERAI Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1968, 2021
Girl without emotions Upon a starlit world Derai, lovely princess With your silks unfurled Three moons pass above us Spreading golden light Derai, lovely princess Sparkling eyes so bright
Shining there before me Dining 'fore the fire Derai, lovely princess Lift me ever higher Woman of such beauty Unsurpassed by all Derai, lovely princess Standing proud and tall
Rising with the morning sun Playing on your lyre Derai, lovely princess Your love I desire Sailing thru the star-filled nights Darling, you're divine Derai, lovely princess And I know you're mine
[Title inspired by E C Tubb's 1968 novel, Derai]
UNDERSTAND Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1966, 2021
I don't have words to say this, but dear, I hope you'll understand Darling, I really love you so and I want to be your man
I wish that I could say this in better words than these Darling, I really love you so and I surely want to please
Darling, say you'll understand what I'm trying to say Darling, I want to be your man each and every day
I wish that could show you how much you mean to me Darling, I really love you so and I hope that you'll agree
Darling, say you'll understand what I'm trying to say Darling, I want to be your man each and every day
{Musical Verse]
Darling, say you'll understand what I'm trying to say Darling, I want to be your man each and every day
I wish that I could tell you, now, just what I'm trying to do Darling, I really love you so and I want to marry you
TOUCH MY BODY Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1972, 2021
SPOKEN: This is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Wo-man because she was taken out of Man...
Put out your hand And feel the land O you can stand On treasured sand And touch my body My love, my fair delight Lily of the valley
Lift up your eyes And see the skies O know what ties Full truth and lies Beneath the skies above Lily of the Valley My Rose of Sharon
[Musical Verse]
Bone of my bone Flesh of my flesh Wo-man and Man Here, in this land And touch my body Lily of the Valley My Rose of Sharon
ILILI Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1969, 2021
There was a time 'fore Man was born Before his eyes op'd to the morn When from his mother he was torn Ah-ah, Ilili
She was a woman of such grace And there was beauty in her face And she was mother of his race Ah-ah, Ilili
Never before had a woman been seen Never before had they known Never before had a woman been queen on the throne
But they accepted her as rule And there was no one thought a fool And they rejected aught so cruel Ah-ah, Ilili
Never before had a woman been seen Never before had they known Never before had a woman been queen on the throne
But they accepted her as rule And there was no one thought a fool And they rejected aught so cruel Ah-ah, Ilili
AND SO IT ENDS Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1968, 2021
And so it ends Love between friends Let's make amends When love descends Love is a beautiful thing Love comes to you in the spring Love joins a woman and man Love all at once had began Between a woman and a man
(Musical Verse)
And so it ends Following trends Misapprehends And still transcends Love is a beautiful thing Love comes to you in the spring Love joins a woman and man Love all at once had began Between a woman and a man
