Flower, colored bright
I am strong, I can fight But I don't know Tower, brick and stone Make my way on my own But I don't know? I don't know why, I don't know hoe If I can fly, can I fly now Are my wings strong enough to bear The winds out there? Hey, I don't know Tell me it'll never fade And I'll go forth unafraid 'Cause I don't know Show me rain and flood To cool the fie in my blood 'Cause I don't know I don't know why, I don't know how If I can fly, can I fly now Are my wings strong enough o bear The winds out there? Hey, I don't know |

In a tenement near the Henry Hudson River
From my favorite spot on a rusting fire escape I would look below and see Mario Braving the ferocious dandelions Mario our fearless superintendent Kept the garden green, despite the parkway smog But the flowering weeds Their fates decreed Pulled, to keep his rosebush from dying Then I would creep inside, curl up in my bed Something strong was pulling at my head Pulling at my heart? Wildflower, growing in all the wrong places Wildflower, so lowly neath that lovely rosebush Proper garden's nightmare, queen of open fields Tell me, who will love this wildflower For exactly what she is? Years passed by, we left that red brick building Left Mario behind For a brand new house But my dark brown skin On the white washed walls within Stood out, so it'd get me up and cryin' My growing pains had many rooms to fill then Mother never knew Had a garden to keep clean While there was N.Y. Grease On the young flower from the Middle East She was busy pulling dandelions Then I would creep inside, curl up in my bed Something strong was pulling at my head Pulling at my heart? Wildflower, growing in all the wrong places Wildflower, so lowly 'neath that lovely rosebush Proper garden's nightmare, queen of open fields Tell me, who will love this wildflower For exactly what she is? |

Grey clouds disperse in the four winds A dry riverbed overflows And the horizon opens wide Up to the heaven she turns her eyes Searching, diving in to the chilly blue Floating in the air Touching the pure golden light That glimmers in her hair Mishaela, what do you see? What is it in your heart That greets the desolate silence with such Laughter? It is one rainbow in the east, she says It is all I need What more could I want? It is all that I need |

I found a path to follow
I knew it straight away No, I will not stray Not stray I walk through the woods and holler The songbirds will laugh and play They know I've found it and won't stray No, I will not stray Not stray The woods are alive with laughter The rivers are drunk with mirth They all know what I've been after They're rejoicing from y rebirth For my rebirth I found a path to follow But it's a path for two? Come her beside me I won't stray, no I will not stray From you |

If I were a desert flower
All winter long I'd pain and cower Spring would make me sing My voice would ring As tiny buds begin to bloom In spring I'd blossom and forget The winter's gloom If I were a brook of water Kissed by the frost along my borders Spring would make me sing my voice would ring As I'd release my icy chains In spring I'd bubble and forget the winter's rains But I am only a child of man I am only a child of man Just an innocent child of man? Don't look so surprised as my eyes shine and glow It's the sunlight in the skies that is making me so If I were a joyful songbird All winter long so cold and somber Spring would make me sing My voice would ring like tiny bells on scarves Of silk A song as beautiful and pure as mother's milk But I am only a child of man I am only a child of man Just an innocent child of man Don't look so surprised as my eyes shine and glow It's the sunlight in the skies that is making me so Don't be surprised By this look in me eyes Like a flower or tree I will bloom in the spring I will shed all my woes As the green grass grows Like a flower or tree I will throw my head back and sing |

I walk alone into lady night
She wraps me in her black veils Wraps me tight Her velvet touch on my weary eyes Kisses softly Windy sighs Lady Night in her grandeur Flaunts jewels of light Flirting with Sir Half-moon She shimmies slowly Backs-o'-mountains Dips her hair in twilight Walks alone into lady night The woman's discreet as a grave, and I know she'll Want your tears? Lady Night's got an appetite For sorrow liquidated into Pearls of light One by one she'll gather them to her breast Kiss your lowered eyes and bid you rest She take me to her tummy, I clutch her warmth I know that I am falling She delves into my mind, brings out my darkest thoughts The keep her dark from dawning (I know that's what she wants?) I turn my back to Lady Night My mind is clear My pearls are in the satchel I've paid my share of blackness to her Turn my back to the lady, though she calls She calls But I am going to the dawn And she can no longer keep me |

It's obvious you're special
I've known it all along I suspected you from the moment You flew through my window And fell to the floor Saying 'I'm yours Take me, I'm yours' And it's obvious I'm crazy With every hazy dawn I inspect myself, and in light of my plight I am certain As loud I may roar My eyes will implore How fully I'm yours Have you ever been told you're too utterly bold To be true? With a flash of your smile I am baffled, beguiled I'm bewildered by you Do you know the love you inspire Would make me fly higher than I've ever flown before? Now inspire me to more Inspire me to more |

With the breaking of the dawn
I will peek beyond the glass There's an endless stretch of blue below An ocean cold and vast I am traveling again Between the heavens and the clouds Reaching out, turning into a vision Into a future, strong and proud But I say, oh There's nothing more I desire Than to spend my life with you Setting me gently on fire We're a very special two Only you can understand Walking parallel, on separate parts But always holding hands As we lay our yellow bricks On the road to something better Can we find a point of meeting And continue on together? And I say, oh There's nothing more I desire Than to spend my life with you Setting me gently on fire |

Ave Maria
Where have you been hiding? Don't you know we need you Things are looking pretty bad down here I know that there is beauty Gentleness and laughter These are things you always stood for Help us find them too Hey, there Maria! Santa Maria, Maria May I take a liberty And say that it's a shame to me Not to live in harmony We're all just hoping someone will step Forward singing Amen, Amen Ave Maria Where have you been hiding? Don't you know we need you? Things are looking pretty bad down here I know you hear the fighting See the torch we're lighting On our quest for peace and freedom Help us see this through Hey there, Maria! Santa Maria, Maria May I take a liberty And say that it's a shame to me Not to live in harmony We're all just hoping someone will step Forward singing Amen |
