Ayo Bamidele - Angels Around Your Head (Master Tapes Version) Lyrics

There's a way to this but it comes too late
And they say a vision can seal your fate
I know I'm chained because now I can see
There are Angels Flying Around Your Head

I walk around like this town's latest clown
The fingers point and the eyes do stare
But it's you who digs the simple rhymes I bare
You me close and heal my doubts
And my mind is rich because I just found out

There Angels flying around your head
There Angels flying around your head

Around your head
Around your head
Around your head
There Angels flying around your head

Our life's are made by moments just like these
They fill the void with the love you hold
I can't pretend to feel nothing
When the love you give is everything

There Angels flying around your head
There Angels flying around your head
Around your head
Around your head
Around your head
There Angels flying around your head

Tender Spirit Tender Heart

Tender spirit tender heart ain't it always been that way
As you walk on down the line try not buckle 'neath the weight
Of a world so hard to bear well it was never meant to be
When you're too open to the pain so much to lose nothing to gain
And you can't turn that ship around when your compassion brings you down
And you wanna be released look for goodness where it's found

Tender spirit tender heart ain't it always been that way
As you walk on down the line try not buckle 'neath the weight

You been holding back some ways all the things you held inside
You know the world may never see all the beauty that you hide
All your passions and your dreams all of life and what it means
How you navigate the days how on this earth you find your way
Tender spirit tender heart ain't it always been that way
As you walk on down the line try not buckle 'neath the weight

Tender spirit tender heart ain't it always been that way
As you walk on down the line try not buckle 'neath the weight

Ascendance

Ascendance aint nothing but higher ground
When your caught up in the undertow
And life can bring you all so low
Into the chasm where you might find some semblance of something
Just like Ascendance
Ascendance yeah aint nothing but
Nothing but
Nothing but
Nothing but higher ground

Your heart strings break they're pulled so tight
You're rolling in the dead of night
Say when the nightmare becomes a sweet dream
Of something just like ascendance
Ascendance aint nothing but
Nothing but
Nothing but
Nothing but higher ground
Ascendance is not hard to find
It's just freedom in your state of mind
To choose the highways and byways to vistas of new life
And something just like ascendance
Ascendance yeah aint nothing but
Nothing but
Nothing But
Nothing but higher ground

Ascendance yeah

Paradise

When your soul walks the path of the darkest night
Don't expect no relief from the blue moonlight
You can't wrestle angels and expect to when that fight
No you can't defeat the things you know to be right

We travel all days all days
We travel all days all days
We travel all days but it's a long way to paradise

You were stung by the truth in the lies that you told
You were enchanted by treasures that your hands could not hold
You swopped your soul at the crossroads for a dead end street
You were shipped wrecked on a iceberg in the boiling heat
They said that mountain could never be climbed
But you reached the peak only to find
Those cats giving honours never formed no line
Wasted all your precious time
And it's a long way to paradise
All your good books have been turned to pulp
You're surrounded by gurus and they offer no hope

And covering your bed in feathers and twigs
Don't make it a nest and Cutis Mayfield said
Don't accept nothing but the supreme best

Belief

Oh the things that we believe
Can form a snare around your feet
Leave locked down where you don't really want to be

Oh the things that we believe
They say we pluck them like apples from a tree
And if the ones we leave behind are the loving kind
Would we be surprised to find
Our children's destiny
Such such a bitter seeds
And what is true for you
May not be true for me
So why fight so needlessly
When what we only want
We only want is to live in peace
Oh the things that we believe
Can form a snare around your feet
Leave you locked down
Where you don't really want to be

Birds Fly South for The Winter

Birds fly south for the winter,
They look for warmer climes
They take their lives at their command
They are not tide to just one land
Birds fly south for the winter
They don't wait for need and hunger
Through cross winds west and east
For harvest for a feast
Oh sweet soul of mine
Won't you learn to clime
When I reach those times
I need some peace of mind
Birds fly south for the winter - yes they do
Birds fly south for the winter - oh yes they do
Birds fly south for the winter - they do, they do, oh yes they do

Birds fly south for the winter to drink from pure clean lakes
Oh they fly as one
To find that healing sun
Oh sweet thirst of mine
Won't you be satisfied with some pure clean water
To sooth this soul of mine
Birds fly south for the winter - yes they do
Birds fly south for the winter - oh yes they do
Birds fly south for the winter - they do, they do, oh yes they do
Birds fly south for the winter - yes they do
Birds fly south for the winter - oh yes they do
Birds fly south for the winter - they do, they do, oh yes they do

The Amazon

Walking out in the Amazon
Five thousand miles from home
Walked away all the fears I had
Sorrows from my soul
I was not alone and I'm so at home so at home with you

Rainfall fell down in the Amazon
Chilled me to the bone
Washed the fears from heart scales from eyes
So I could see it's true, I was not alone
And I'm so at home with you
I'm so at home with you
I'm so at home with you
I feel at home with you
And I'm so at home so at home with you

Have you ever been down to the Amazon
Five thousand miles from home
I was not alone I was not alone
Sometimes it's hard to see what's right in front of your eyes
Sometimes it's hard to trace the tracks and pathways our lives
But I was not alone and I'm so at home so at home with you

Butterfly

How can you be so low, you so beautiful
Well that was never meant to be
And it's been two long years since you and I first met
It's only now I feel this way
And it's been so few words you and I have shared
How come they mean so much to me

So fly come on now fly come now
My butterfly you know you set my world alight

Is there a warmer place than the warmth of your smile
Well that's a place I've never been
And when we bring you low come and hear us say
Show us our good our life's can be

So fly come on now fly come now
My butterfly you know you set my world alight

And if your beauty would climb higher maybe then we all could see
And if we only knew what knew maybe then we could be free
So fly just fly wow fly just fly
Just fly wow fly just fly

Healing Time

I awoke a 3 AM in a cold sweat life hit me like a wave I could not run from it
In every city every town every stretch of ground the wounds of life abound
So how long, how long how long how long
Must we kneel and pray for healing time healing time again

In the cold cold light of day when life hits you like a wave how we run from it
In every city every town every stretch of ground the wounds of life abound
So how long, how long how long how long
Must we kneel and pray for healing time healing time again
So how long, how long how long how long
Oh Lord how long
Must we kneel and pray for healing time healing time again

Jericho
My mother told me son you better run run and the road will be rocky
And the wind will hold you back
My father told me son you better run run and the road will be rocky
And the sun will burn your back
But have faith for you will find you will find
It's a long way to Jericho such a long way I swear
Such a long way to Jericho such a long way I swear.
But if you make it there with just one prayer
Those walls will come tumbling down
If you make it there with just one prayer
Those walls will come tumbling down
They come tumbling they come tumbling they come tumbling down

My Mother told me son you better run run and the load will be heavy
And may scorn your back
But have faith for you will find you will find
It's a long way to Jericho such a long way I swear
Such a long way to Jericho such a long way I swear.
But if you make it there with just one prayer
Those walls will come tumbling down
If you make it there with just one prayer
Those walls will come tumbling down

The Golden Rule

Too Many trying to love now, bringing only pain
There's a dimensioned missing named the golden rule

As we spend all the time that we do
Causing all the pain that we do
Can make wish we only knew the golden rule

Too much heartache and not enough for love sake
Too much pain is still not enough

Too much heartache and not enough for love sake
Too much pain is still not enough

Let's learn from our mistakes the golden rule
Let's put right our mistakes the golden rule
Forgetting is our greatest mistake the golden rule

As Years Go By

I find myself at a halfway house caught in between and with no way out
I don't want for anything I'm just wasting everything
As the years go by
Devil dogs playing in my head saying every vow that you made is dead
Well they're only here to haunt you and how they're going to haunt you
As the years go by
It's going to some how take a hold of you
It don't matter what you try to do
Picks you up and carries you away
Until you feel there's nothing left to say
As the years go by

You used to be kind to the brave and new
Now you don't care for that point of view
Revolutions cannot change you
Don't even slightly rearrange you
As the years go by

Let them go just let them go yeah
Let them go just let the go yeah
Let them go Just let them go
