Clouds 05:26
Wheat fields know which way to blow, trees know how to bend Clouds, they know to float across the sky rain comes pouring down I don't know which way to go,
north, south east or west,
 Clouds, they know to float across the sky rain comes pouring down So alone , so full of life, as the sun shines,
as the day dies Tears and smiles, 
born on the same face,
 A heart beats with pain,
 A heart beats with joy. Your eyes are full of love.

Far and Wide 05:30
I'm trying to find my way out here, make my way across the world travel far and wide
 meet beautiful and interesting people, hang around with Mother Nature travel far and wide 
try tasty fruits I never heard of, share them with a friend
 travel far and wide
 walk all day until my feet are aching, sit down for a drink 
travel far and wide
 jump into the cool cool water, float on down the stream 
travel far and wide
 dance all together in the moonlight, fire burning high
 travel far and wide
 travel far and wide open up your eyes
 you said you want to see something beautiful 
travel far and wide now you must decide, 
its time to really feel the wonder 
Its beautiful.

Jalibah 04:29
Jalibah Did you wonder why?
All those birds can fly, 
High up in the sky
 Why the fish can swim and laugh and Breathe underwater Did you see more than that? Its just a part of living. 
Its the hardest part of life
. I don't want to say goodbye to you, My friend .
 I already miss you, my old friend. I know you heard so well,
 Every drop of rain that fell
, Fell down from the sky
 You heard the leaves fall too,
the dew, the grass sprout up in springtime did you hear more than that? You didn't live so long
 On this Earth we all go
Sooner than we know
 I close my eyes you run and laugh and splash in the water I can always feel you near me. Its just a part of living
. Its the saddest part of life
. I don't want to say goodbye to you,
My friend. 
What did you think of me, my old friend?

Walking 04:54
Walking a love song I lost my chance with you my friend 
I missed the boat, I missed the train
 Now I'm walking down that lonesome road Walking slow. 
I'm walking. We met on a fine sunny day,
 We said, we would never look away 
My heart was flying all around and you, You kept me on the ground. Well I lost my chance with you my friend I missed the boat, I missed the train 
Now I'm walking down my lonesome road. Walking slow. I am walking.

World Citizens I came from a land far far away,
 when I met you I thought I might stay,
 for a week, for a month and see you every day. I wanna jump, I wanna sing,
I wanna do that thing,
 You make me feel like an eagle on the wing I'm riding on the wind, all across the sky High My words are all mixed up, my words are jumbled, When you're with me, I only feel humbled
 to be with a soul as beautiful as you.
 Your skin is black, my skin is white no matter cuz we're totally tight
 I want to hold you in my arms and never let you go. Hold you We said we'd be together, we'll be a team
 go to my place in summer, that would be a dream
 to your paradise where the sun shines all the time
 We filled out the papers, we paid the fees, 
We jumped through the hoops and climbed up the trees Now they want to tell me I can't be with my man? No! I miss you so much I think I'm gonna cry 
Loving you was like eating cherry pie 
I wonder if I'll ever be with you again...
 I can buy a ticket to anywhere I want to go 
Hop a plane or a train or a bike and go slow but an African ain't allowed to see the world at all. It's Hard.

Peaceful Place I lay down in this field 
take a look all around everything blossom green 
the wheat is blowing in the breeze sky above crystal blue scent of lilac in the air the sun is warm on my face this is a peaceful place I go about my day 
get my child prepared for school he's learning how to stand in line
 but he is not a little fool
 he can sense something is wrong
 but he's got to play it cool 
he knows the world is spinning way too fast to believe in all their rules. He can't follow the rules I don't know what to do So much pain in the world, even in this peaceful place I can feel it too There are no bombs overhead here, No people hungry in the street, No one is in a real big hurry, You greet the neighbours when you meet a thousand birds sing high
sun is low in the sky 
another peaceful day is passing, I thank the heavens for my life.

PS 04:38
PS Oh! I saw you coming down the street You looked happy, you looked free.
 I remember, oh how sweet! 
how lucky we were to meet Sometimes I think back all these years and I wonder without tears ,
How the Earth keeps spinning 'round and my feet are still on the ground

Blue Heart 03:44
Blue Heart Every word I hear, 
The wind I see and fear, Nothing seems to cheer My blue heart, my dear Every song is sad 
I know that makes you mad For what we nearly had My blue heart is glad You tried to help me see How to let it be
 I'm down upon my knee My blue heart is free

JoJo´s Lullaby Day is done 
flying fast
 across the skies on crimson wings night has come at last Lay you down
 slow and sweet
 sleep will come, my dearie one on soft and silent feet Lullaby, 
floating free
 drifting into deeper visions learning how to be Blue wave dance r
in a laughing dream the ocean whispers children listen 
let me wash you clean A bright flame leaping a distant light 
a single candle 
humble herald somewhere in the night lullaby, my dearie one sleep will come
 you will dream 
until the night is done deep Earth dreame r
dark and still
 body resting spirit flying going where we will Like a high sky flyer
 ride the night 
on gleaming starlit 
silver cables stretching out of sight lullaby, 
floating free
 drifting into deeper visions learning how to be
