lyrics

“Tumbao”

CHORUS
Hey now darling don’t you cry,
The sun is shining, burning high.
Life will blossom, open wide,
Beckoning for you to come inside.

The earth is dying, suffering long.
We must heal her so come sing along.
Gently rock her in your arms,
Gently kiss her, do her no harm.

The powers that be, they will push us so small.
But when we sing now we rise up tall.
Singing for freedom, singing for joy,
Sing for the safety of each girl and boy.

Sing for education and for sustenance,
Not for bullets, not for violence.
Sing for summers, for grass so green,
Of skin so soft, of eyes that gleam.

Please beckon, please open wide,
Please beckon to come inside.

CHORUS

Shake for me darling, shake little girl,
You move so sweet, save the whole damn world.
Your hips are the pendulum of God’s good grace,
Your lips are the lips of God’s true face.

Please beckon, please open wide,
Please beckon to come inside.

CHORUS

New York Music Daily has heralded Avi's album-a-month project as "one of the most ambitious jobs anyone in the rock world has taken on lately". Damn straight. ... more
