We’ve been together a decade
Though its gone by in the blink of an eye
When I think back on our years together
The only thing I wonder is why
We didn’t begin our lives much sooner
From the first time we met
Well every moment we’ve shared is precious
And there’s nothin’ ’bout us that I regret, no
And she will never take away from that
No, there’s nothing she can say or do
To take away this truth
That you belong to me and I belong to you
This year it will be a decade
We’ve stood together hand in hand
Telling each other everything
Trusting the other will understand
We have never been lead astray
I don’t think we ever will
There doesn’t seem to be a need
That our deep love can’t fulfill
And she will never take away from that
No, there’s nothing she can say or do
To take away this truth
That you belong to me and I belong to you
Yeah, you belong to me and I, and I belong to you
You belong to me and I belong to you

Sundrenched afternoon
Waiting for a word from you
Dust motes cloud my eyes
Diamond tears I cry
Sparkling light refracting off my tears
Caught up I’m worn out and burned out by fears
Why must I always assume the worst
Heart beating so fast I fear it may burst
Sunwarmed cobblestone
Walking all alone
Dark thoughts should melt away
In the light of day
Sparkling light refracting off my tears
Caught up I’m worn out and burned out by fears
Why must I always assume the worst
Heart beating so fast I fear it may burst
La la la la la…
— Anji Bee (BMI)
Why waste your precious days?
Chasing in vain
Elusive happiness
Can only bring you pain
Our time on Earth is so short
But our suffering is long
We all sense secretly
There’s somewhere else we belong
Just Look deep inside yourself
To see who you really are
When your illusions melt away
Your soul will shine just like a star
Beaming rays of lovelight
Beaming rays of lovelight, lovelight, lovelight
Just Look deep inside yourself
To see who you really are
When your illusions melt away
Your soul will shine just like a star
Beaming rays of lovelight
Beaming rays of lovelight
(repeat to end)

I’m just not sure
Don’t know anymore
Where this relationship stands
Once blushed like a rose
Now your eyes are closed
Should I let go of your hands?
Perched on the edge
Losing my grip
Treading the water
Will you accept me?
Will you reject me?
Flip a coin fulfill my fate
Can’t take this ambiguity
Do we possess longevity?
It’s a fine line between love and hate
I’m down for the count
Time running out
Treading the water
I’m holding my breath
Blue in the face
Treading the water
Don’t know if I can keep
Treading the water

Why does time play it’s tricks on me?
Buzz in my head and my thoughts incomplete
Some sights move me to tears and then
Falling asleep again
Once in a blue moon you feel really alive
Most of the time we just cover our heads and hide
Once in a blue moon your feel really alive
Most of the time we just cover our heads and hide
Why does time play it’s tricks on me?
Buzz in my head and my thoughts incomplete
Some sounds move me to scream and then
Falling asleep again
Once in a blue moon you feel really alive
Most of the time we just cover our heads and hide
Once in a blue moon you feel really alive
Most of the time we just cover our heads and hide

Woke up this morning
A song was playing in my head
Pulled the blankets closer
Hunkered down into the bed
Fragments of dreams
Swam hazily inside my mind
Mixed up patchwork images
Form hidden meanings left to find
If I get up to start my day
Before the mysteries revealed
I’ll go round feeling haunted
By this secret that’s been sealed away
Why do these people follow me
Through my nocturnal daze?
Mix up the year, mix up the place
Mix up the name and face
Rode the train this morning
To the end of the line
Forgot where I was going
Seems I lost all track of time
That same old song was playing
Looping endless in my brain
While dream sequences flooded in
More real than the rain outside
If I get up to start my day
Before the mysteries revealed
I’ll go round feeling haunted
By this secret that’s been sealed away
Why do these people follow me
Through my nocturnal daze?
Mix up the year, mix up the place
Mix up the name and face
Lovers I forgot about
Places that I’ve never been
Jobs that I quit years ago
Younger than I’ll ever be again

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long, long ways from home
A long, long way from home
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
A long, long ways from home
A long, long way from home
True believer, a long way from home
A long, long way from my home
A long, long way from my home
— Anonymous American spiritual arranged by Anji Bee (BMI)
