lyrics:
Run
I run in front of you as you are laughing.
And so youre will be done, youll always catch me.
We walk in summertime with no shoes for us,
Until the sun is gone and you are yawning.
Ive been thinking I was dumb to ever let away
All those things I could have loved,
But chose instead against.
So Im sitting on my own with nothing left to say
Except this day is all too long and I am just a waste.
But what have I done today?
Howd I figure you could ever get in my way?
No one could tell me freedom from you was like a cage.
My sons and daughters will you forgive?
What have I done?
African Eyes
Thought I saw you under African skies and there you were happy.
But when I see you in the city so often, Im summered by visions.
As you were made for something much greater than convention,
And Africa has always called you back from the war.
And will you color those African eyes in historys fountain?
I see you smile as the angels in chorus brought word from the mountain.
As you were made for something much greater than convention,
And Africa has always called you back from the war.
And will you water the seed that is lure and harvest migration?
That we may council our fear and our worry by your resolution.
As you were made for something much greater than convention,
And Africa has always called you back from the war.
Rumor of the East
As you order Ive waited long the days
With no water to keep me as I sing,
"That I have no one to love the beast I became,
But if Im good enough let me love again!"
Then I saw you underneath that signal in the night,
That signal in the night.
Like the captain with his rumor of the east
Or some prophet and the promise out of reach.
I will remember you in this old, lonesome way.
For all the good you do to this heart that remains.
Then I saw you underneath that signal in the night,
That signal in the night.
