An SOS has been recorded to seek posthumous support from Ray Charles to assist children with disabilities. An impossibility? Stand by ...

Story so far: Children are trying to illuminate their path against Impossibility. Will "The Soulman's Message" be heard, carrying the spirit of Ray Charles? The Science Theatre, Uni of NSW, in December will tell.

The Man Who Helps Light Up The World ©

We're standing together as one
And we're looking for that shining star.
We can feel you with our trust but can't see you,
We know you're not so very far.

* * *

The people are waiting.... anticipating,
The music is playing...and the flags 'unfurled.
Step forth, Ray Charles. Step forth, Ray Charles
The man who helps light up the world.

* * *

Your glow is still here where you've passed,
You light up the world on your way,
You leave people glowing with hap-happiness,
Please play some more Papa Ray.

* * *

We hear your voice, it lifts hopes high,
To see what a poor kid has done.
You show anything can be gained if you try,
An'  impossible's a word to overcome.

* * *

So where are you now Papa Ray?
We're calling on God's telephones.
Are you getting ready to light up the lights,
Or out having beers with Quincy Jones?

* * *

Your glow is still here where you've passed,
You light up the world on your way,
You leave people glowing with hap-happiness,
Please play some more Papa Ray.

* * *

Oh Papa Ray, Papa Ray we sure need you,
To make impossible come true,
We're praying you'll come and show us how,
So hurry back 'cause we miss you.

* * *

When you travel take care, take care,
Think of us wherever you go,
Remember always that we love you,
That's what we really want you to know.

* * *

Your glow is still here where you've passed,
You light up the world on your way,
You leave people glowing with hap-happiness'
Please, please oh please, please, please oh please,

* * *

Please...play some more Pa-pa Ray.
