Clouds

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

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.

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
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.

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
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
