Horace Silver - Horn of Life

To Rate
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
