about

a song about my mum's wisdom - she used to wake me to let me watch a late programme about India on TV - I loved Indian music and she understood that ... she bought me my first album (Joan Baez) ...

lyrics

AZHIA

VERSE 1
You settled for this place
Old eyes in a child face
Phosphorous blue
Trusting in the arms that caught you
Remember all the old ones taught you
Test your fear
Learn to persevere
Know the reason you came here

Out to sea the spirit keep
Turtle song waves in the deep
Wait upon their council
Before you lay the walls to build
It’s easier to do His will
See the lie of land
The contours and His plan
Listen look and understand

On and on the life force
Till this old world
Runs its course
Spins its last days
This is His way

Azhia Asiatic Azhia
In your eyes In your eyes
I see an old soul
Azhia Asiatic Azhia Asiatic
You hold on
Stronger than strong
And help us
To make sense of it all

Earth memory has stayed impressed
Millions of light years from the start
The insight of a loving mothers quest
To help a child endure and play her part
To learn the wisdom of the East
Bring understanding to her heart

Water washes stories in the stone
Wind that bends horizons to its might
Soil that many eons rain has known
Fire igniting stars that fill the night
The battles scream but morning comes anew
The living breathing wonder that is you

On and on the life force
Till this old world
Runs its course
Spins its last days
This is His way

Azhia Asiatic Asiatic
In your eyes
I see an old soul I see your soul yeah yeah
Azhia Asiatic Sweet Azhia
You hold on
Stronger than strong
And help us
To make sense of it all
Azhia Asiatic Azhia
Lay the stones that will keep you here
Wake me when the moon is up
In your eyes
I see an old soul
Azhia Asiatic
Inside the silence here that’s falling down
And the messages that drift ashore
You hold on
Stronger than strong
And help us
To make sense of it all
