Lyrics & Music: G. Prinsky
I remember years ago A little girl with her laughter From high up on on your shoulders you would tell Me stories, And sing to me softly Once I had a little girl With two braids swinging on her back When she undid her thick black braids My heart would also come undone In the meadow, I unraveled them Friendly old moon smiled down on us But in the fall, shed shed them all To the autumn of our souls In the meadow, I unraveled them Friendly old moon smiled down on us Once I had a little girl With two braids swinging on her back She has gone, this little girl And taken spring away with her Now that same girl stands before you Long black hair caped over her shoulders Stage lights shine And in my mind I send a song out to you Once I had a little girl With two braids swinging on her back But autumns past And she will laugh Fall is all but gone away A lovely spring Begins Today |

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 |

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? |

Give me your pain
Give me your sorrow Give me your loneliness And broken dreams Your bad times And your worry Now forget Now forget Give me your past Give me your family Give me the walls you build And the ones you break Your shadows And your longing Now forget. Now forget. All that will be But isnt yet Now forget, Now forget. Ill put it all In a small wooden box With the rusty old lock And the sparrows in flight Ill guard it with my life Through the long long night You are my eyes You are my passion You are my journey to where ive been You are my reason For living Now forget Now forget. Ill put it all In a small wooden box With the rusty old lock And the sparrows in flight Ill guard it with my life Through the long long night Give me your truth Give me your questions Give me your longing for what will be Give me your daydreams And your demons Now forget Now forget. All that will be But isnt yet Now forget Now forget Now forget Now forget |

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead You've taken lots of chances before But i ain't gonna give any more, don't ask me That's how it goes, 'cause part of me knows what you're thinking... Don't say words you're gonna regret Don't let the fire rush to your head I've heard the accusation before And i ain't gonna take any more, believe me The sun in your eyes, made some of the lies worth believing I am the eye in the sky, looking at you, i can read your mind I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools, i can cheat you blind And i don't need to see any more to know that I can read your mind, i can read your mind I can read your mind, i can read your mind Don't leave false illusions behind Don't cry 'cause i ain't changing my mind So find another fool like before Cause i ain't gonna live anymore believing Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving I am the eye in the sky, looking at you, i can read your find I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools, i can cheat you blind And i don't need to see any more to know that I can read your mind, i can read your mind I can read your mind, i can read your mind |

Restlessly turning, imprisoned and freed
Still is the night but that's not what i need Gimme repetitive motion, A circle, a notion A steam engine dream.. Motor lullabies Of turning wheels and bolts Motor lullabies Rocking me to sleep Motor lullabies On long and winding roads Motor lullabies Transporting Motor lullabies Transporting me Restlessly turning, imprisoned and freed Still is the night but that's not what i need Tenderness found as the rhythmn goes round I'm caressed by the sound of my motor lullabies Of turning wheels and bolts Motor lullabies Rocking me to sleep Motor lullabies On long and winding roads Motor lullabies Transporting Motor lullabies Transporting me Motor, motor sing your song Theirs or mine or his Motor, motor will i wake Close to where my true life is.. Motor lullabies Of turning wheels and bolts Motor lullabies Rocking me to sleep Motor lullabies On long and winding roads Motor lullabies Transporting Motor lullabies Transporting me.. Transporting Transporting me.. |

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 |

Partono 'e bastimente
Pe terra assaje luntane Cantano a buordo e so napulitane Cantano pe tremente 'O golfo gia scumpare 'E a luna, in miezz'o mare 'Nu poco 'e Napule le fa vede Santa lucia luntano 'a te Quanta malincunia! E sognano mare 'n mane Tremano 'ncoppa 'e corde Quante ricorde, ahime, Quante ricorde! E' o core nun 'o sace Nemmeno cum'e canzone Sentenno voce e suone Se mette a chiagnere ca vo turna! Se gira 'o munno sanno Se va a cerca fortuna Ma quanno spunta' luna Luntano 'e napule nun se puo sta! Santa Lucia tu tiene Solo 'nu poco 'e mare Ma cchiu luntano staje Cchiu bella pare! |

Vide 'o mare quant'e bello!
Spira tantu sentimento. Comme tu a chi tiene mente Ca scetato 'o faje sunna. Guarda, gua chistu ciardino; Siente, sie sti sciure arance. Nu prufumo accussi fino Dinto 'o core se ne va... E tu dice "I'parto, addio!" T'alluntane da stu core... Da la terra da l'ammore... Tiene 'o core 'e nun turna Ma nun me lassa Nun darme stu turmiento! Torna a Surriento, Famme campa! Vide 'o mare de Surriento, Che tesoro tene 'nfunno: Chi ha girato tutto 'o munno Nun l'ha visto comm'a cca. Guarda attuorno sti sserene, Ca te guardano 'ncantate E te vonno tantu bene... Te vulessero vasa. E tu dice "I'parto, addio!" T'alluntane da stu core... Da la terra da l'ammore... Tiene 'o core 'e nun turna Ma nun me lassa Nun darme stu turmiento! Torna a Surriento, Famme campa! |

Smile, without a reason why
Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. Tears, a tidal wave of tears Light, that slowly disappears Wait, before you close the curtain There is still another game to play And life is beautiful that way Here with his eyes forevermore I will always be as close as you remember from before Now that you're out there on your own Remember what is real and what we dream is love alone Keep the laughter in you eyes Soon your long awaited prize We'll forget about our sorrows And think about a brighter day Cause life is beautiful that way. We'll forget about our sorrows And think about a brighter day, Cause life is beautiful that way There's still another game to play And life is beautiful that way. |

Lyrics: Noa
Music: Noa/Gil Dor I'm here to say a word or two In the name of love and innocence It's been a long time they've been out of style, But i won't live in illusion, There's not much chance that things will change on lonely planet earth. All that is natural, all that is free Like me loving you, and you loving me, Like the sweet fruit growing on a tree, Like the blood-red choral in the sea, Like shaking hands and sharing food, And a real creative attitude And a big strong hug,yes, that feels good, And the miracle of birth Shalom shalom, Shalom shalom shalom, Shalom shalom, Shalom shalom shalom You really don't need a diploma From any university To understand and to enjoy This plentiful diversity You only need to clean your mind of all those pre-conceptions And use your mouth for laughing and for asking and to kiss? Communicate, communicate, Don't think: "oh lord, i've come too late!" you're always welcome at love's gate To wash your feet of fear and hate So when you come and when you go, The words are peace, goodbye, hello, In a language that I know it goes like this: Shalom shalom,shalom Shalom shalom, Shalom shalom,shalom Shalom shalom? So if our strategy is love (don't bite my head off, i said love) And you say: "duuuh, So simple!" Yeah, but easy to miss?. So when you come and when you go, So when you come and when you go, The words are peace, goodbye, hello, In a language that I know it goes like this: Shalom shalom,shalom Shalom shalom, Shalom shalom,shalom Shalom shalom |

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 |
