AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD

The Music Of Voices Beyond Compare

The Beautiful Man Who Wanted Me There

The Men And The Women Without Any Hair

The Black And White People Who Said That They Cared...

They Welcomed Me Nervous And Shaking And Scared

They Welcomed The Boy Who Had Written And Shared

The Family Of Strangers Caught Me Unprepared

And The Trees Were A Shelter As The Sun Growled And Glared.

 

The Music Of Morning...

The Food Of The Day...

The Closeness Of Evening...

The Music They Played.

 

The Voices That Welcomed Me

When Home Was Asleep...

 

The Beautiful Man -

Sad Secrets We Keep.

 

But Our Secrets Are Known Without Speaking A Word

The Years In Our Eyes Tell Of What Has Occurred

Lines Of Reality Are Crossed And Left Blurred

All In That Music That I'd Always Heard...

 

Coming From Island

From People

From Sea.

 

The Beautiful Man -

He Knows He Can Kiss Me...

 

But We Wait In The Madness And The Joy Of The Dance -

Simplicity Is The Heart Of Romance.

 

We Welcome And Cherish This Wonder - This Chance

To Know One Another And Share Altogether -

The Music

The Magic -

 

We Will Stay Here Forever.
