lyrics by harlan blynn
Verse 1:
It’s an ancient way of life
The Buddha say you might live it twice
A purple tongue swirls around da leaves
Saharan winds swirl around her knees
A butterfly flaps his wings
Across the oceans doves will sing
Chorus:
We’re all connected in cosmic ways
Under one sun the children play
Taro say, “it’s the roots and rhythm way”
Baya say, “lift your arms and sway away”
Verse 2:
The lord of Moses sings
In the laughter of children on swings
I give to you what you see in me
A burning bush or a barren tree
Across the desert we roamed
40 days and nights without a home
Chorus:
We’re all connected in cosmic ways
Under one sun the children play
Taro say, “it’s the roots and rhythm way”
Baya say, “lift your arms and sway away”
Verse 3:
As the oceans touch the moon
Your ancestors sing this tune
With da wind, water and eternal flame
You have her spirit if not her name
There’s nothing left to do
Except live your life and be the best you
Chorus:
We’re all connected in cosmic ways
Under one sun the children play
Taro say, “it’s the roots and rhythm way”
Baya say, “lift your arms and sway away”
