lyrics

The Wish (Featuring Big Brooklyn Red)
Lee
Nacido Libre Music (ASCAP)

Ghetto landscapes means the plan takes a little more execution
Rising prices, losing lives/ It's got to have a quick solution
Not the placebo that we all know is offered as rhetoric
But real answers to stop the cancers to get ourselves in check

I wish I could hug the world/ I wish I could hold back to hurt
I wish I could right what's wrong/ I wish I might save the world with this song

City stops, traffic passes/ Country streams flow like molasses/ Children study do they learn in classes Apathy it infects the masses/ Question that many seem to ask is can it be that we might last this Collectively it seems our task is to recognize and no longer mask this
Bombs we make them/ Lives we take them in the name of God and Nation
Learning to kill the human will/ When what we need is to learn patience
We erect prison building/ For young men pass time by killing
On the streets we watched them dealing/ From the hungry the rich are stealing

I wish I could hug the world/ I wish I could hold back to hurt
I wish I could right what's wrong/ I wish I might save the world with this song

I wish I could turn back the hands of times/ I wish I could right all man's crimes
I wish I could unite all mankind/ I wish I might save the world with this song

Late Night Tales: Agnes Obel

Willow led me here! Pilentze Pee via Mir Stanke Le. The opening quotes in the description about sounds and the voice as an instrument resonate strongly with me. My first intro to Agnes Obel and the Late Night Tales series, what a phenomenal idea! Love the mix of selections and original material, Bee Dance packs so much punch for its track length zephyr707
