I wish I could sing
I would write you a lullaby
The ears of my heart would hear
But the orchestra that is so perfect
I know nothing beats it
It’s only love and nothing else.
If I were that civilized
I would live in your world
I would articulate myself like expected
The shoes I wear, the suits I don
Are but from my own world
I will carry them with but love.
I know the mourn of the hyena
I know the roar of the lion
I can tell when the guinea fowl sings
I know when the bulls fight
But my heart knows when love shines.
I look back from a distance
Perched on the crown of that solitary boulder
Where my grandfather stood and whistled
To his dogs so obedient and loyal
A hare in their mouth, their catch of the day
That’s my world, to it I owe my identity.
School was a challenge
An end for a better future
A good job, a good wife and a good life
That’s all I lived for, half my life
But misery has been no stranger
In a life full of anger.
I wake up in the middle of the night
I wonder and ponder
How the hell did I get here?
To a love that caresses me inside
So great it threatens my identity
I will love yes, but I will live.
I hear those echoes of love
They flatter me like a child
I have never known love like this
Words don’t come easy
I will thank you with an old song
You will ever be the greatest love of my life.
Me, Myself And I
