Big shoes, put yourself inside
So many places to go, and things to do
Put the big boots on the little man
Oversizes don't concern him
With imagination burnin in his hand
Nobody will have to tell him
The time has come, to choose
Places to go, things to do, ways to find
To walk the line and, hand on the wild side
Put yourself inside, big shoes
Try these on for size, put yourself inside
Big shoes, places to go, and things to do
New horizions in the promised land
Every hill he climbs is steeper
Words of wisdom from a Juju man
Rather than sinking deeper
Climb into, big shoes
chant
Big shoes, try these on for size
Places to go things to change
Put yourself inside, big shoes
Try these on for size, things to do
Big shoes, big shoes, try these on for size
Put yourself inside, so many places to go
To choose, and things to do, big shoes
chant
Big shoes, try these on for size
Places to go things to do
Put yourself inside, ways to find
Big shoes, so many places to go
Try these on for size, things to do
Put yourself inside, big shoes
So many places to go, and things to do

WAIT FOR ME Wait for me, that may be easy to say You could be, ten thousand miles away We don't know, still got a long way to go What endures, feels like it didn't before Chance is yours, go back and open the door Still don't know, we've got a long way home In your eyes, you analyze The way you want to And a touch, says so much Of what it could be You can see that it's Not going to be for long Not on your own. Wait for me, can't make it easy to say You and me won't spend forever away From what we know, still got a long way to go Wondering why, you and I Should take the chances Out of touch, with so much Of what it could be I can see that it's All going to turn out right But for tonight Wait for me, I know it's easy to say You could be, ten thousand miles away We don't know, still got a long way to go Watching your eyes, to analyze The way you wanted And your touch, said so much Of what it could be Telling me that it's Not going to be for long Not all alone © 1997 Stephen Jay / Ayarou Music (BMI)
PEOPLE WILL BE TIRED People will be tired Before the world becomes cool Teachers will be inspired Before they get out of school Kids won't be together If they forget that golden rule People will be tired Before the world becomes cool When you dance, when you dance It cools the town Sea never dry, poor man no friend Never trust a pretty woman As if, don't do, God is love Original sea never dry People will be tired Before the world becomes cool Workers won't retire Until the job, they get through Preachers may be on fire Before the soup becomes gruel And people will be tired Before the world becomes cool When you dance, when you dance It cools the town Sea never dry, poor man no friend Never trust a pretty woman As if, don't do, God is love Original sea never dry A peanut shell full of water A peanut shell full of water Is enough to quench a person And their beloved's thirst Sea never dry, poor man no friend Never trust a pretty woman As if, don't do, God is love People will be, will be tired Treaties will be expired Before the words can come true And peanut shells may be required Sea never dry, poor man no friend Never trust a pretty woman People will be tired © 1997 Stephen Jay / Ayarou Music (BMI)
TI MO BA Wash away, turn into rivers All of the tears, are taken away This is the mountain, so say the people Who will stand by that strength In this garden of grace Riding down on the rain The echoes cry out, voices far away Over the falls, and the bridges so dark We learn to walk, where the light isn't seen Ti mo ba shubu ma dide ma tun dide Ti mo ba shubu ma dide ma tun dide Without words, not without meaning Wind that can speak, to all that hear And the voice is so clear The echoes call out, call out to you You can hear them say Ti mo ba shubu ma dide ma tun dide Ti mo ba shubu ma yo mi Ti mo ba shubu ma dide ma tun dide Ti mo ba shubu ma so kun Ma so kun, Ma yo mi If I fall, I will rise again, if I fall Ti mo ba shubu ma dide ma tun dide Ti mo ba shubu ma yo mi Ti mo ba shubu ma dide ma tun dide Ti mo ba shubu ma so kun Don't cry, don't cry not for me Don't cry for me, yeah © 1997 Stephen Jay / Ayarou Music (BMI), Kathy Wakefield, Demola Adepoju
WHO CAN Who can be a superman Sleep on bed of nails and Work a wonder, Heal the lame Walk on water, Rise again Who can swallow fire Turn the water into wine Walk along the burning coals See a vision, read your mind Who can part the water Make the river run sweet Who can take you back in time Make a minute repeat once Who can work a miracle Make another day Who can make it come true Who can show you the way to Who can Who can tell you what Who can say when Who can be sure Who can guess why Who can show you how Who can stop, right now Stay the same (chant) Who can see in Who can know when To make the change, stay the same Who can get it right Or get it wrong right now Who can tell you what Who can say when Who can be sure Who can guess why Who can change or stay the same Right now, who's on the inside Right now, who looks away Right now, who sees a vision Who can Who can say when Who can guess why Who can know for sure Who can guess right Who can change right now (chant) Right now, who sees a vision Right now, Right now, Right now, who knows the reason Right now, who knows what kind Right now, who's got the insight © 1997 Stephen Jay / Ayarou Music (BMI)
SHE SAYS IT She's got something from far away She says nothing When there's nothing to say You know exactly what she means anyway She lights fires in the face of a flame She feels free in the home of the brave Right there beside you and so far away She says it all, she says it all to me She says it all, she says it all to me She'll make a circle Pull the moon through a maze She draws a picture That you see out of phase Seems unfamiliar, in fortunate ways With every stoke and particular place Moving together in vermillion displays She writes a song and everyone plays She says it all, she says it all to me She says it all, she says it all to me She's got something from far away She says nothing when there's nothing to say You know exactly what she means anyway She lights fires in the face of a flame She feels free in the home of the brain One look will tell you There's nothing to say She says it all, she says it all to me © 1997 Stephen Jay / Ayarou Music (BMI)
GO LIKE THIS Something came natural Moving in all directions one way We knew that we found what was valuable You and I could feel the differences we made So good to uncover what's been keeping us away Move into eachother and stay Right now, feels like we could fall in One light, when it comes Go like this Writing you messages Leave 'em outside a window up ahead Rhyming in passages Better outside the reach of the unsaid So good to discover what's been keeping us awake Move into another mistake Right now, feels like we could fall in One light, when it comes Go like this Right now, feels like we could fall in One light, when it comes Know when, feels like we can make it now Rolling the thunder, anytime we want to Go ahead, and never come back Go like this © 1997 Stephen Jay / Ayarou Music (BMI)

PANCAKE POTENTIAL Zoom me to the left if I don't find away Move me to the left by a paralyzing ray Something moving up, something bubbling Zap me to the right, coming out okay Will we survive it, one more sign of day To the left of the hideaway Zoom me to the left of the paralyzing ray To the left of the right of way Zoom me to the left of the Polynesian lei I don't know why, and I don't relate What I say to you, what I complicate Zoom me to the left if I don't find a way To the left of the Bantam laying eggs We've been moving out of that quantum ray We've been moving up from that hideaway Can imagine it somehow some way In harmony someday Something inside me, suddenly silent I don't know why, and I don't believe But I saw TV, and I complicate I might stand untrue, but I saved the tape What I say to you, What I don't relate We've been moving up, out of that quantum ray We've been moving up, Traveling night and day Picking up something Nearly every step along the way We've been moving up, on that final way All the happiness we'll buy some way Will dissolve with us someday Will we survive it, suddenly silent I don't know why, and I don't relate What I've stumbled in, and accommodate And I saw TV, and I logged the take And I don't believe, what I complicate Zoom me to the left of the hideaway To the left of the Polynesian lei Zap me to the left of that other way Move me to the left of that quantum ray Suddenly silent, suddenly silent © 1997 Stephen Jay / Ayarou Music (BMI)
IT'S FOR YOU That ocean liner, the cold at the south pole Old faithful geyser, acrobatic soul Flights and flyers, new and old No reminder One situation, not end up sitting When you came and took the answer away Now it's harder to remember when And it always goes ahead again Fandango rider, With plans that you don't know Untranquilizer, diplomatic foe Sanctifier, human loan Great provider Participation, no reservation When you give away the time that you make And we feel our worlds arriving in place And we know we won't get tired of it It's for you, it's for you, It's for you, it's for your sake anyway Instead of thinking Now we took a second chance We knew we could So we'll make it true every dance That's how we have it In that same untraceable place Just like we knew Taking every measurement It's for you, it's for your sake anyway It's for you, nothing that gets in the way It's for you, when you know that it's true It's for you, everything that we do It's for you, nothing that gets in the way © 1997 Stephen Jay / Ayarou Music (BMI)
TROUBLE Don't know how it started Or how close the end is Take the chances we dare to After adventure Why do they fly so What magic made them What genie blessed them Who could have fooled them Nature could fool them They could be angels Angels not saviors Sailing like seabirds Who made them lay down Jah must have made them Ghost made them play dumb Saved for no ending Ashram in the bedroom Solemn like soldiers Happiness in hell fire Sadness in heaven Who called this meeting Who knows the reason Who are all of these people Happy like children Empty like cauldrens Happy to be here Swallowed not eaten Taken not bitten Who made them lay down Jah must have made them Ghost made them play dumb Saved for no ending
