Joan Baez Album

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arm

Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Recently it all came back to me
Somebody promised us roses
We slid by for awhile on dreams
But today I see what's only a memory
Of a decade ago that vanished from sight
With the speed of a shooting star
Leaving you, leaving me, where we are...

Well, you could say we sailed on stormy seas
Or you could say that we failed
Like seven out of ten in our neighborhood
But I prefer remembering the way we were
When we both thought the other had hung the moon
'Cause all too soon came the troubled times
And the broken rhymes so hard to define 'til recently

Oh, I could have tried for a thousand years
Through the long and winding night
Could have cried another million tears
It would never come out right

And recently the product of all our years
Dressed in a navy blue blazer
Headed for a first class school in the east
And I'd like to say he's hardly a failure now
And neither are you on the second time around
With a wife and a family
And the roses that lately arrived in the new baby's eyes
So recently

Chorus: A si m'bonanga
A si m'bonanga u Mandela thina
Lapha ekhona
Lapha ehleli khona

Oh the sea is cold and the sky is grey
Look across the island into the bay
We are all islands till comes the day
We cross the buning water

Chorus

A seagull wings across the sea
Borken silence is what I dream
Who has the words to close the distance
Between you and me

Chorus

Steven Biko
A si m'bonanga
A si m'bonanga umfowethu thina
Lapha ekhona
La wa fela khona

Vicoria Mxenge
A si m'bonanga
A si m'bonanga u tate wetha thina
Lapha ekhona
La wa fela khona

Neil Aggett
A si m'bonanga
A si m'bonanga umfowethu thina
Lapha ekhona
La wa fela khona

Hawu ngithi heyiwena
Heyi wena
Heyi wena hawe
Si you fika nini
La siya knona
La siya knona

Translation

Chorus: We haven't seen
We haven't seen Mandela
Where he is
Where he is sitting (confined)

Oh the sea is cold and the sky is grey
Look across the island into the bay
We are all islands till comes the day
We cross the buning water

Chorus

A seagull wings across the sea
Borken silence is what I dream
Who has the words to close the distance
Between you and me

Chorus

Steven Biko
We haven't seen
We haven't seen our brother
Where he is
Where he died

Victoria Mxenge
We haven't seen
We haven't seen our sister
Where she is
Where she died

Neil Aggett
We haven't seen
We haven't seen our brother
Where he is
Where he died

I say to you
Hey you
Hey you and you
Where are we going to reach our goal/destiny
Where are we going
Where are we going

(When will we attain our freedom...)

See her how she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold

Once the sun did shine
And lord it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pine
And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well

I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face, yes I did
And I tripped and I missed my star
And I fell and fell alone
The moon's a harsh mistress
The sky is made of stone

The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own

Can you find another star to dream on
The summer's coming to an end
Say goodbye to all your wandering friends
And lovers, casual confidants
Who shared your dreams
When you were sixteen

And you walked on the sands of glory
With James and the gang
You were one magnificent story
You and James and the gang

Pass the pipe and like the sun get higher
In pack of roving wolverines
Placing bets on every girl in teens and jeans
Who eyed you suspiciously
With your biblical hair
And your mystical stare

As you walked on the sands of glory
With James and the gang
You were one magnificent story
You and James and the gang

When all your illusions did lie in the palm of your hand
And your limits were only the sky and the rolling sand
And of every summer to come
This summer would be the one
You'd remember forever
In your dreams

Oh, twinkle, twinkle little star
Did you ever wonder who you are
And do you think that life is just a Belushi movie
And the heartbreak years that lie ahead
Be true to yourself and the Grateful Dead
And remember the summer when all was hip and groovy

And you walked on the sands of glory
With James and the gang
You were one magnificent story
You and James and the gang

Hush little baby, momma once was sixteen
On the back of a Harley Davidson
Boyfriend was a born again
He shouted from the word of Jesus while doing 105
Down the coast highway
Only half a day from where

You walked on the sands of glory
With James and the gang
You were one magnificent story
You and James and the gang

Let Us Break Bread Together
Let us break bread together on our knees, (on our knees)
Let us break bread together on our knees. (on our knees)
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me. (on me)

Let us drink wine together on our knees, (on our knees)
Let us drink wine together on our knees. (on our knees)
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me. (on me)

Let us praise God together on our knees, (on our knees)
Let us praise God together on our knees. (on our knees)
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me. (on me)

Let us praise God together on our knees, (on our knees)
Let us praise God together on our knees. (on our knees)
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy if you please. (if you please)

Freedom
Oh freedom, oh freedom,
Oh freedom over me,
And before I'll be a slave,
I'll be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord
And be free.

No more weeping

No more shooting

There'll be singing

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Rain down on me
Mmm...mmm...mmm...
So let it be
Mmm...mmm...mmm...
So let it be
Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thundercloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Let it rain
Rain on me

Take me to heart
And I will love you
And nobody can make me do wrong

But take me for granted
Leaving love unshown
It makes the will power weak
And temptation a throng

A woman's only human
This you should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like a man

CHORUS
If you want a do right all day woman
You have to be a do right all night man

They say this is a man's world
But you can't prove that by me
And as long as we're together baby
Show a little respect for me

CHORUS

A woman's only human
This you should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man

CHORUS

CHORUS

September '77
Port Elizabeth - Sonnenschein
In Sechs-Eins-Neun endlich Ruhe
Nur ein Stuhl ging aus dem Leim
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
- er ist tot

Du loescht gerade noch eine Kerze
Doch nicht ein grosses Feuer
Springt die Flamme einaml ueber
Treibt der Wind sie immer hoeher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
- er ist tot

Die lange Nacht ist viel zu heiss
Ich traeum nur noch in rot
Die Welt da draussen ist schwarz-weiss
Nur eine Farbe tot
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
- er ist tot

Und alle, alle seh'n euch jetzt
Seh'n euch jetzt seh'n euch jetzt
Sie sind da
