We huna huna haya
huna huna haya
huna haya
kutema kwenye ziwa langu
na mi sina
sina haya
mi sina sina haya
sina sina haya
kuoga kwenye ziwa langu
Look at the damage now
Sea of famine and drought
Anger spilt on the ground
A fresh wound
A clean cut
Cotton on dry blood
Scars are the badges now
Embroided with battle marks
Souls die 1000 times
Just so they can win a fight
ooh Kwani Damu ni maji
ooh maji maji
We huna huna haya
huna huna haya
huna haya
kutema kwenye ziwa langu
na mi sina
sina haya
mi sina sina haya
sina sina haya
kuoga kwenye ziwa langu
Castles replaced the clouds
Rebuilding strands of trust
Faith secured all doubt
Beliefs crumbling into dust
ooh Kwani Damu ni maji
ooh maji maji
We huna huna haya
huna huna haya
huna haya
kutema kwenye ziwa langu
na mi sina
sina haya
mi sina sina haya
sina sina haya
kuoga kwenye ziwa langu

Nomad State - Small Step
03:50

Were dying to know
How to climb our way to the summit point
And dying to know
How to power planes and control the fall
They we’re dying to know
Would they win the race up above the sky
And dying to know
As the fuel ran low in the Seas of Peace
Our heroes are yearning for taking a leap out in the cold
Yet every small step back or forward
Doesn’t make the earth spin
The sun still keeps time, the moon pulls in tide
Keeping it together
If anyone saves us, then they need to know we’re willing to learn or dying to know
Will the sea be sand and the oil be dust?
Be dying to know
When the water’s gone and the air wears thin
You’ll be dying to know
If they’ll carry you to a distant star
We’ll be dying to know
As we burn our wings when we fly too high
And we’ll remember taking a leap out in the cold?
That every small step back or forward
Doesn’t make the earth spin
The sun still keeps time, the moon pulls in tide
Keeping it together
And every single step we’ve taken
Doesn’t make the earth spin
The sun still keeps time, the moon pulls in tide
Keeping it together
If something can save us, it needs to know we’re willing to learn or dying to know

Holding the sacred grain carefully in your hands
Wondering, telling her story, telling everyone
But no one’s listening
Contains your life in one small grain
shrouded in darkness
Finding your way
Opening up to a new way of being
Stories we are told no longer believing
Buried within a difficult place originally held
She was silenced for her story
that tiny grain waiting to grow
no one said, “what would you think now?”
sieved out and fallen on barren ground
stories we’re told can’t be unheard
can’t be unwritten
No going back her story was never told
buried deep in the grain silo
clay figures buried and hidden
sieve and shake the story out
And relive the time when I drummed into life
and I had no idea what I was thirsty for
I had no idea that it was buried so deep
And I had no idea the secrets I had to keep
These secrets are ready to be told
ready to be shared but I need to be bold
Can’t hide behind this fat coat of shame
cos it wasn’t my fault and there’s no one to blame
stories we’re told
become the broken seeds and the tired lives
when their stuck in the mud with no hope of life
but there’s always hope there’s always a time
where you can free yourself and the feelings sublime
It doesn’t really matter how long it takes
if its 20 or 50 years of shakes
but the important thing is when you are down in the dark
it’s the cracks and the scars are what bring you back
I never thought that this was for me
that I could tell my story
because I was so impatient to be free
struggling on trying to find a way to express myself
every day
every day I try every day I give up
every day I constantly feel stuck
I’ve drawn a line
can’t do it anymore
I’m very rarely fine
I don’t mind sharing
I don’t mind telling
anyone that will listen
I don’t mind telling
I don’t mind sharing
I cry all the time
But the tears are words maybe I’m not ready to say and I’ll save them for another day
because now that I’m slowly starting to hear my own voice, I’m loving it and telling it
you do have a choice
you’ve always got a choice even if you don’t believe me
trust me
I’m telling my story finally now
But I’m beginning to wonder
beginning to wonder
wonder
how

Ordinary time in 79,
A peaceful day in the countryside,
Looking around everything was alright,
Hindsight should have Said walk away,
From the silhouette, I saw that day,
I didn't think id be in a fight,
What we're looking for is a million miles away,
from where we all are,
What we're looking for
is where all the answers lay
somewhere in the stars.
They came at me in such a rush,
I didn't have time to think that much,
standing there with nowhere to hide,
I was thrown around pushed and pulled,
Frozen not knowing, what to do,
through it, all Lara was right by my side,
What we're looking for is a million miles away,
from where we all are,
What we're looking for
is where all the answers lay
somewhere in the stars.

William, George and Nick
Cousins around the table
William, George and Nick
Victorian family fable
Every story has a start
This Powder keg took a spark
The Archduke and his pregnant wife
A rebel teen that took their lives
This Family Feud it burned so far
Engulfed the world. Left it scarred
This Family Feud it burned so far
Engulfed our world. Left it scarred
Men, women, just kids
conscripted to the fight
Trenches in no mans land
Million of souls into the light
This Family Feud it burned so far
Engulfed the world. Left it scarred
This Family Feud it burned so far
Engulfed our world. Left it scarred
William, George and Nick
Family from a fable
```````Victoria’s stable
William, George and Nick
Exiled, renamed and dead.

Verse
I let the music do the talking
Cause nothin else makes sense from here
But all the people they keep walking
Cause they've got nothing left to hear
Bridge
And he's on, oh its gone, to infinity
Chorus
All the people go, yea they'll never know, anything about you
Oh and you can sing, about the Pretty things, but you'll never be
Bridge
No You'll never be, wait its me whos in infinity
Verse
It doesnt matter where your heads at
Cause In the end its all the same
Everybody comes and goes, no one knows,
Bridge
What its like to be me, the things i see, you dont wana be
Chorus
Faceless, down dead on the ground, no one heard the engine sounds
Faith, mine would be hard to find, i lost it long ago
Oh and i tried to be faithless
Oh and I tried to be numb,
Bridge
And in the end, yes my friend, we're in infinity
Bridge
You dont wana be, you dont wana be
You dont wana be, you dont wana be,
Yea
Solo
Chorus
Faceless, down dead on the ground, no one heard the engine sounds
Faith, mine would be hard to find, i lost it long ago
Time, oh i wish it were mine, we only hear that myth in lies
But now I know i'll be fine, i learnt that long ago
Oh and i tried to be faithless
Oh and I tried to be numb,
Bridge
But in the end, oh my friend
In the end, you will mend
Chorus
All the people go, yea they'll never know, anything about you
Oh and you can sing, about the pretty things, but you'll never be
Faceless, down dead on the ground, no one heard the engine sounds
Faith, mine would be hard to find, i lost it long ago
Time, oh i wish it were mine, we only hear that myth in lies
But now I know i'll be fine, i learnt that long ago
Oh and i tried to be faithless
Oh and I tried to be numb,
Oh and i tried to ignore it
Oh and i tried to be dumb
Bridge
But in the end, yes my friend

Yellow walls in a French town
Nine long weeks too much for
Turpentine to breakdown
Strokes to bold to ignore
Lead confusion uric rift
In a passioned desperate...
Mountain landscape in violet
Red intones the fate they met
Tiny travellers search of unknown
Though they try passion dries even though
The paint's still...
In flat tints with a course brush
Faded red broken floor
Obsessive genius lust
Vague instinct overborne
In a passioned desperate shift
Lead confusion uric...
Fever work felt a century
Chaos crawls through the cracks that he
Covered quick in a sunflower smile
Though they try passion dries even though
The paint's still wet
Had not faintest suspicion
When at the door a gentleman
Surprised me, promised I'd flee
To Paris before man could wake
In case my vision devastate
His prosperity, mine additionally
Had not an inclination
That of my own composition
He affected me so hopelessly
As I reflect on my own
In much a novice quiet home
I'll confide he also taught me
Painted petals as a gift
In a passioned desperate shift
I shan't ask you lend me your ear
Lest it's wrapped in paper, a souvenir
Are we not all mad? Such a human trait
Though they tried passion dried even though
The paint's still...
Yellow walls in a French town
Nine long weeks too much for
Turpentine to breakdown
Strokes to bold to ignore

Melisa Kelly - Ruin Me
03:39
|

Buried in water, bound by the trees
secretly watching, ghosting me
Singing rock a bye baby, in a cradle so high
Tell your mama you love her, then kiss her goodbye
I dont mind if I die today
I dont mind if there's nothing left
I lie still and pretend I dont there
I dont mind if you ruin me
Forcing my hand, breaking me down
Foolishly trusting, wants not around
And when the wind blows and the bow starts to crack
Ill say I was with you and we'll make a pact
I dont mind if I die today
I dont mind if there's nothing left
I lie still and pretend I dont there
I dont mind if you ruin me
And when the bow breaks, and then Ill take the fall
No secret too wild, no man too tall
I dont mind if I die today
I dont mind if there's nothing left
I lie still and pretend I dont there
I dont mind if you ruin me

In 1939, sea legs still to grow
So many things in the unknown
German born and raised in a battle not his own
History in the makes far from home
Uh oh, ship's going down my friend
Uh oh, on Bismarck he began
The waves can try to pull him in
Take a life, but they won't win against
Unsinkable
Thousand souls astray, river down their throats
Defected to the man who keeps him afloat
Uh oh, ship's going down again
Uh oh, a Cossak sailor man
The waves can try to pull him in
To take a life, but they won't win against
Unsinkable
Overboard, under fire
Angry but quite unharmed
Guess third time ain't always the charm
Uh oh, ship went down again
Uh oh, Ark Royal was the end
The waves they tried to pull him in
To take a life, but they won't win against
Unsinkable Sam
