"Peace Of Mind"
As I walked along one day
1 thought and thought while on my way.
1 thought of how my life had been
I thought of how 1 lived in sin

He bled, he died, he paid the price.
1 searched so long, but not anymore
For he was knocking at my heart's door.
1 searched no more, 1 searched no more

*'Peace Of Mind"
I never thought I'd ever find
Such happiness, and peace of mind.
"How did you find it?" you may say
By choosing to live my life in God's way.

"An Ode To Tex"
What isolation you must feel
Trapped behind those bars of steel
What loneliness must engulf your soul
Snatched of your freedom in that
ungodly hole.
But let your mind run free!
Wc on the outside can never really know
The inner torment your confinement
doth bestow.
It's something only you can feel
Behind those treacherous bonds of
steel.
But let your mind run free!

and regret
A senseless past episode you^d like
to forget.
An act which stripped your freedom
away
And with precious minutes of your
life you must pay
But Let Your Mind Run Free!
Let us both hope there will be
a brighter tomorrow
To eradicate these times of woe and
sorrow.
You know you have a true friend
in me.
So Rejoice! Rejoice!
And Let Your Mind Run
Free.

"A People's Champion**
(for Joe Lewis)
A People's Champion was he,
To that all the world will agree.
He came out of Detroit to earn that right,
And gave the crowds thrill at every fight.
A People's Champion he was destined to be,
For young and old to see.
He won the hearts of all,
And gave his foe many a fall.

And in the process he never committed any crimes.
He never let his fans down even in the end,
Because he could not be brokeXand he would not bend.
As a People's Champion he always stood tall,
And he would never take a fall.
For many generations he was an idol to them all,

"Thanking Him '*
Thank you Jesus, for a brand new day
Because you've taken my sins away
Thank you for these feelings from within
Because now, I've been born again
Thank you for what you now mean to me
For now, I'm forever free

Rainbows across the bend
Have been said to have no end
But if there's really a pot of gold
Then the half has never been told.
For if the Rainbow crosses the bend
Then I guess the Rainbow has no end.

In the 60s, he made no films at
all. In the early 70s, Belafonte coproduced
and starred in two films
directed by his old friend, Sidney
Poitier: "Buck and the
Preacher" and "Uptown Saturday
Night."
In both, Belafonte unveiled a
strong comedic presence and
screen assurance that peaked in
the latter film with an acute Godfather
caricature of his friend
Marlon Brando.
Yet, except for an appearance
as legendary football coach Eddie
Robinson in 198Ts trite television
movie, "Grambling's White
Tiger," Belafonte has been virtually
absent from movies since
1974.
Now he has returned to what
he calls "my guerilla warfare
with Hollywood" as producer of

the new breakdance and rap
music film "Beat Street." The
film is a celebration of the hip~hop
culture that blossomed in the
South Bronx in the mid-70s and
has since become internationally
visible, not just through the ubiquitous
breakdancers and rappers
who crowd our streets and
television commercials, but in
flamboyant graffiti art as well.
"1 identify very strongly with
me Bronx,'' Beiatonte says. "I
grew up there. My father died
there, my brother died there. I
was a janitor in a building there.
Maybe if 1 am skillful enough in
making this movie, 1 can show
that these people have values,
these people care. It's not all
about the down and out and
never to rise again. If anything,
this hip-hop culture is the
phoenix out of the ashes."...
