Smile Soft smile, Tender face Looking My Way Sweet Eyes, in the Sun Baby lets have Fingers dancing in the shade Through the tree i caught your gaze Waking to your smile, my heart and blood run wild Never imagined falling this way, I hope you stay Evening side by side I am glad you are in my life Evening side by side I am glad you are in my life Patience and affection, built our connection Time at your side Infatuation Your presence and touch, sustained the love rush Never imaged falling this way, I hope you stay Soft smile, Tender face Looking My Way Sweet Eyes, in the Sun Baby lets have Evening side by side I am glad you are in my life Evening side by side I am glad you are in my life

It’s About Time It is about time to speak your mind Stop buying lies and join the fight We can’t wait the future is here Speak your mind loud and clear Caps are melting oceans rising Storms are raging people starving It’s time to stand for what is right Make history speak your mind It is about time to speak your mind Stop buying lies and join the fight We can’t wait the future is here Speak your mind loud and clear Cast your ballot it’s your right Vote for the planet it’s about time The earth is our mother, the country our home Survival depends on her alone

Salutations Our worlds collided that sunny day Your presence changed something in me Through airport windows once good-bye’s said This memory passes over my head Taking a seat in the empty row As the plane takes off and ground fades below My vision blurs as tears soak my nose You were my sanity, lover and friend Thank you for sharing your world in the end The day we met, you spoke to me When others laughed you stood by me When i doubted myself you held me close Translating their rumors and racist jokes You never lied or demanded my time Your sincerity an unusual sign You were my sanity, lover and friend Thank you for sharing your world in the end A foreigner you shared your pain Fleeing your home as shakes went up in flame One cold evening you spoke of back home Blaming yourself for your brothers death Your sincerety gave me strength to care Stories you shared gave a depth to your smile Our worlds collided that sunny day Your presence changed something in me I write these thoughts down to seal them today Thank you and good-bye from across the sea You were my sanity, lover and friend Thank you for sharing your world in the end

Receiver I know that world, through the receiver Whistles and yells, from taxi drivers Windy streets, filled with vendors Making ends meet, selling to strangers I smell the meat, hear men talking See kids laughing, and dogs barking Mama’s walking, babes on their shoulders Working to nightfall To return to their shelters I know that world, i dream of today Once my own world, now but a memory Accents and smiles, on dark complexions Walking along, sun lit intersections Honking horns, smokers smiling Woman working, in the suns heat Taxi Ranks bustling, and doors slamming Drivers whistling, at people walking Windy streets, filled with vendors Making ends meet, selling to strangers I know that world, i dream of today Once my own world, now but a memory
