I Am Part Of A Large Family - Lyrics - Ongiara - Great Lake Swimmers

Title: I Am Part Of A Large Family
Album: Ongiara
Artist: Great Lake Swimmers
Composer(s): Anthony M Dekker

Lyric:
I am fighting and I am fighting
Kicking and screaming and scratching and budding
Keep it going whenever we're going
Generations generating

What am I suppose to do
Take her and care good care of you
We have a lot of work to do
Me and you and you and you

Brothers and sisters are in my arms
Brothers and sisters are up in arms
Mothers and fathers, the sons and the daughters
Up in the army, the men and the ladies

And we have a lot of work to do
Me and you and you and you
Out of the morning and into the storm
Brothers and sisters are in my arms

I am part of a large family
I am part of a large family
I am part of a large family
And it's enough for me, it's enough, it's enough

Drop the axis, recheck the faxes sent
Brothers and sisters tell me the story
And out of the morning, into the storm
Set my piece I sent
Set my piece I sent, piece I sent, piece I sent

I am part of a large family
I am part of a large family
I am part of a large family
And it's enough for me, it's enough, it's enough

Where In The World Are You - Lyrics - Ongiara - Great Lake Swimmers

Title: Where In The World Are You
Album: Ongiara
Artist: Great Lake Swimmers
Composer(s): Anthony M Dekker

Lyric:
I've been looking in churches and looking in bars
Thought that I saw you in the oncoming cars
It was your reflection cast off by the light
And into the sky of this dark city night

And I looked for you up in the tallest of trees
Swayed back and forth in the mid-Autumn breeze
When the leaves reddened and left too
I knew then that it wasn't you

Where in the world are you now?
Where in the world are you now?
Oh, where in the world are you?
Oh, where in the world are you?
Where in the world are you now?

And I looked for you then in music and song
'Cause I thought I could find you there
They were only notes pulled from the air
Not the kind I could read or breathe if I dare

Where in the world are you now?
Where in the world are you now?
Oh, where in the world are you?
Oh, where in the world are you?
Where in the world are you now?

There Is A Light - Lyrics - Ongiara - Great Lake Swimmers

Title: There Is A Light
Album: Ongiara
Artist: Great Lake Swimmers
Composer(s): Anthony M Dekker

Lyric:
There is a light in you, I have fallen into
There is a light in you, I've fallen into, fallen into

Put all your repents away, I won't fine you just to spine you
Put all your repents away and your mask it's falling away, falling away

Stop, listen and fear, stop, listen and fear
Stop, listen and fear, plead, plead

And the flowers is in awe, I won't have anymore
This is what we call a park, I won't have it anymore

Stop, listen and fear, stop, listen and fear
Stop, listen and fear, plead, plead

Put all your repents away, can end all your casual ties
Put all your repents away and end all your casual ties, casual ties

Leave all your lives, believe in your lives
Leave all your lives, believe in your lives
Leave all your lives, believe in your lives
Leave all your lives, believe in your lives

Your Rocky Spine - Lyrics - Ongiara - Great Lake Swimmers

Title: Your Rocky Spine
Album: Ongiara
Artist: Great Lake Swimmers
Composer(s): Anthony M Dekker

Lyric:
I was lost in the lakes
And the shapes that your body makes
That your body makes
That your body makes, that your body makes

And the mountains said I will find you here
They whispered the snow and the leaves in my ear
I traced my finger along your trails
And your body was the map, I was lost in it

Falling over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you and now you're mine
Falling over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you and now you're mine

I was moving across your frozen veneer
The sky was dark but you were clear
Could you feel my footsteps?
And would you shatter, would you shatter? Would you?

With your soft fingers between my claws
Like purity against resolve
I could tell then there we were formed from the clay
And came from the rocks for the earth to display

They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind rose up there, in this rage through your hair
They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind rages through your hair

Backstage With The Modern Dancers - Lyrics - Ongiara - Great Lake Swimmers

Title: Backstage With The Modern Dancers
Album: Ongiara
Artist: Great Lake Swimmers
Composer(s): Anthony M Dekker

Lyric:
Backstage with the modern dancers
She was stretching her arm, figuring the body
When they were breathing they were shouting
She was concentrating on her breathing

And didn't seem to mind as I sat there on the couch, tuned my guitar
And played a few chords by closing
Storing my thoughts, getting ready to perform
With bare feet and painted faces, they took their places
And shivering legs beneath covered four gowns

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, ooh
No, no, no, ooh, no, no, no, ooh, no, no, no, ooh

And now they're are on wooden floors, sweat from their pores
They're riding the mist, songs I can sing by myself
Backstage with the modern dancers, the feeling I like I do
I can feel them and I can feel it, feel it, feel it

Backstage with the modern dancers
Getting ready to go on
She showed me her spin, they beautied from within
And all of these things are I think they should be at least

Changing Colours - Lyrics - Ongiara - Great Lake Swimmers

Title: Changing Colours
Album: Ongiara
Artist: Great Lake Swimmers
Composer(s): Anthony M Dekker

Lyric:
You look at me with uncertainty
You look at me with urgency
You look at me with fear in your eyes
Like you're about to follow any

Don't be afraid to change your colors now
Of knowing you are summer, you rose above it all
I see you hesitate to fall down
But it's pretty good view from down here too

When the wind takes you it takes me too
And when you change colors, I change mine too
Try not to think and I will try too
And when you let go, I will let go too

I knew you when you were green and strong
You were like a feather on a wing, so long
You know I will miss you when you're gone
But don't be afraid if you just can't hang on

'Cause when the wind takes you it takes me too
And when you change colors, I change mine too
Try not to think and I will try too
And when you let go, I will let go too

The cold air is pushing hard on you
I know what you're saying, I can feel it too
You'll go through changes and I'll go through them too
Don't be afraid now, no don't be afraid

'Cause when the wind takes you it takes me too
And when you change colors, I change mine too
Try not to think and I will try too
And when you let go, I will let go too

I Became Awake - Lyrics - Ongiara - Great Lake Swimmers

Title: I Became Awake
Album: Ongiara
Artist: Great Lake Swimmers
Composer(s): Anthony M Dekker

Lyric:
I became awake
From a very dark place
Patchwork of fear of poorly conceived ideas
With a blister of water

Mark of working hands, ready to catch or cut
Senses aligned, the animal urgency
And voices picked up
Flowing over the static, late, quiet

All awake, all awake

I became awake
Fingers are open, eyes they are open
The firing of images, an orchestra of scribbles
The guts of an engine, the veins of a leaf
Light onto paper, exposed

A filament in a bulb, up above or in the ground
Together we are magic, together we are dreaming
Together we will reach endlessly
The center of a seed, so full of possibilities

All awake, all awake
All awake

I became awake
I thought I was sleeping but I was only forming
A structure with no ceiling
With words like a runway
A cloud of a person drifting away

I was heavy but now I am light
I was heavy but now I am light
All awake, all awake
All awake, all awake
