some years back i was invited to lead a sing along to this song on a tented raft somewhere in the dark on the waters around NYC. Dont know how this version holds up in comparison. singing to myself but i hope you enjoy it.
lyrics
lord knows i need to learn to bow to love
when it sprouts from the ground
or falls like rain from up above
let go of this
cowardly stuff
let the softest touch
humble the cold and rough
when my soul felt all alone
then beloved sounded the tone
glorious like trumpet blown
mystery was finally known
then beloved covered me
held me up unselfishly
laid me in the light
what a lovely sight
oh Ma let me play the fool
when love calls the tune
oh may i dance
sometimes in the mirror starts
some fool sings
make love standing
needs to let love into his heart
praise to the righteous dog
that gave her whole life for love
praise to the truest stars
who love you for who you are
love is the perfect tree
let us on hands and knees
gather its leaves
lord knows we come to cry for love
may the ego crumble
hearts open when
push comes to shove
oh Goddess come show me
how to hold gently
all you give for free
giving the lions share
always with more to spare
oh with such tender care
layin the high heart bare
beloved come right away
singing you night and day
bowing we try
beloved oh my

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
Love,
Love,
Love this new material from Jonathan & Tommy! I’ve been a fan of Jonathan’s for 20 years and I recently got the opportunity to see them live in Old Saybrook, CT. Best show I’ve ever been to. Jonathan has the best outlook on life. I wish we could all see the world like he does.
Love you, J & T! pmoods87
