Today I heard as never before
Saw colors I've only dreamt about Felt as if floating in air Ancient time, angelic mine lifted out A song of old, told long ago You move me Tears fall endlessly as you open to me and speak of a new found love that's to be Like Moses parting the Red Sea Pieces of me taste you slowly ... You claimed it, I named it You move me She comes as if tomorrow's gonna up and run away My deja vu, for life it's true, me and you Just as sure as the sun gazing at the moon The color of your skin, my Spirit journeys in I wander through you land just as hot as the sand That lies along the shore Swear I've been here before She comes as if tomorrow's gonna up and run away |

He met her on a Friday ... the 27th of May
Her brown skin from Mother's clay and eyes that take you far away As she spoke he wore a smile, inviting her to stay a while Cowrie shells, barefoot his style She's so beguiled For love - a kiss will bring to you each day Trust, for love - promise to take your fears away So for love - forever in the heart it plays Just for love - remains Doo b doo ... Love She hums a solemn melody but how she rocked oh so sweet The smell of all my favorite eats ... my Grandma's memory He holds on to his father's hand, a part of him this little man So proud, happy is he One day he'll grow up to be You are my Lifeline You are my Obatala You are my Voice of reason You're my Everything This treasure we're born to find ... illuminates heart, soul and mind Like a child innocent be, so divine truly free Who's everything so true, beauty sees inside of you My heart beats for the first time Open my eyes! |

Whenever I look at you
Forever gives sun and moon to me Stories told through your eyes Mysteries unfold so wise and free Ah - Heart's a fire My desire You inspire Ah - Higher, higher I admire You inspire I reach out for your hand We dance, our hearts romance the song As if I always knew the deep inside of you So strong So we play the melody that sounds so sweet in perfect time and we say three little words the poet's pen cleverly rhyme I'm bathing in your groove tasting all of you Feel my love rain down And morning as I wake to you the love we make reveals Each moment so profound Body and soul ... I 'm heaven bound So real |

Darkness falls upon the chill of winter's rain
Aimlessly he walks frozen from the pain He holds out his hands begging help me as he falls into emptiness a silent ring No one answers the call But who will go? To that place where eyes can't see what may unfold Who will go? Mere words can't speak this truth a love so beautiful Don't let him stand alone Who will go? Beautiful girl born in this world so proudly we call free She's never seen or felt the hands of equality So far away inside she goes to hide within her secret place Where that man and circumstance She quickly can erase But who will go? With a heart that shines to light her darkened day Who will go? And be the heaven she so neatly packed away No time to waste Who will go? So will you go? To that place where eyes can't see what may unfold Will you go? Mere words can't speak this truth a love so beautiful I will go! With a heart a that shines to light her darkened day We Must go! And be the heaven we've so neatly tucked away Don't you hesitate Surely you must know Who will go? |

Sitting here, watching you watch me silently
never thought this would be what to say, whose to blame ... right or wrong No words to explain My heart so deep for your so real and the tears you cry I feel But the words we both pray I say won't change or take away The inevitable pain that I'd rather bear myself than give to you That unspeakable phrase ... ain't nothin' we can do Stone out of hope we passed the time sitting holding on to what we know is gone Cold out of love scared to look inside thinking what went wrong ... where did we fall off There used to be a time not so long ago we'd be going strong thinking it last long So out of luck can't meet your eyes I wish we could find what we have lost If I could you know I would see red Had I been mislead ... but no A sincere heart from the start you gave a vow to never part But with time an opened mind you find leads you question why the what, when, where, how's of life ... it's alright Don't wanna fuss or fight Stone out of hope we passed the time sitting holding on to what we know is gone Cold out of love scared to look inside thinking what went wrong ... where did we fall off There used to be a time not so long ago we'd be going strong thinking it last long So out of luck can't meet your eyes I wish we could find what we have lost |

A morning frost in early June That's the dream I see Your vision for me And what was tomorrow is today A wonderland where the grown ups play and sing our Mother's lullaby A peaceful melody From above calling out to us A beautiful sight right before our eyes Silent sounds dance with autumn leaves She lifts her hands and paints the sky tangerine Runaway, get away, got to go far away To the beginning of never Nowadays holidays seem to be every day It's the beginning of never Sweet nectar from the ancient tree Seems to flow pure and free It's just the way I feel Mystical ... so real An unknown joy that I have found I rest my head upon dark clouds Sweet sweet soul music fills the air Spirits everywhere Come on, come on come on, why don't you |

I close my eyes and dance
to a hypnotic beat that Mother Earth decides to send my way today Capricorn inside an Aquarian I AM that you are foreplay for the mind Oh how sweet it is The pulsating rhythm of Imagination dances to a place of no today tomorrow no time or space Promise to Be A goddess of never ending gently guiding my footsteps to that someday when Donny said We'd all be free and I hear Mama say (Keep doin' what ya do) My Father sayin' (Keep doin' what ya do) Somethin' inside me say (Keep doin' what ya do) Oh Brutha say it (Keep doin' what ya do) I hear ya Sistah say it (Keep doin' what ya do) Everybody say (Keep doin' what ya do) Thought I'd see my Self when I decided to let you in But you've become another kind of tear that I'm crying One whose reflection is never shown - yet felt kind of like a good sermon on a Sunday morning where the Sistah's be shoutin' and dancin' and folk be testifyin' I've gone down to the river and danced with the ghost who've come to tempt my Soul to question my reason for Love or not to Love I've slow grind with uncovered pain and fear Hustled with liberal minded Electric slid in to the hands on the trigger and fake smiles that say "We don't see you Nigger!" Time to get jazzy y'all - jazzy Bwi ah boo wah Babba bwi ah bwi ah boo wah Bwi ah boo wah So let's all go back to the time when the rhythm was the Word that soothed and grooved and the Word was spoken yet silently heard A cool breeze sends my heart runnin' to a rainbow of colors where no one trips and my chocolate skin doesn't evoke fear or offend A place where we can play like a never ending symphony whose movements are swift and flowing like the fruits of the Earth used to be Outstretched hands she cries Dance! Sistah Brutha Dance ... Come on! sing of the Love our peep's dreamed of An ever loving plan, ya gotta understand the one thing that makes us free |
