lyrics

I got that color in my mind,
Gimme colour in my knees,
Puttin' shades of green,
In the flowers and trees,
Cut grass- we have fights like it's snow,
The smell so fresh, on a spring-time meadow,
Age 5, and I'm feelin' alive,
The child inside me, awaiting the bee-hive,
Buzz-buzz-life in my beautiful brain,
I'm a innocent baby, I got no complications,
No women, no lust, no interest,
No banks, no bills, no contests,
No jealousy, nobody ahead of me,
Lie on my back with the clouds on my eyebrows.
My low-esteem?? Bye-bye now
We all know how age looks from the inside out,
let's listen for a change, feel how time sounds
It sounds like birds up on a tree,
Invisible songs, they appear from nowhere,
The voice of God in my ears like a prayer,
And if you don't believe, then your life is despair,
Santa Claus don't exist up in here,
There ain't no cupid, and the pints of beer only leave you with amnesia,
Lost in fear, there's a light that's near, there's a light that's near,
We can't live it like we love it and never pause for gratitude,
Life's got too much goodness to be rude,
To all the beautiful ladies with angel-faces,
I got love in my body, lemme tie your laces,
I'd run a million miles just to be so close,
I got love in my heart, if we can share it, let's toast...
Make a toast to us,
And we can watch the sunset on Brighton beach with no lust...

[Rahma Ali]
Chillin' with my memories yeah,
Chillin' as I reminisce yeah
Chillin' with my memories yeah,
Chillin' as I reminisce yeah

No stress no pain I remember when,
I's free happy, take it back again
To a time and a place which at times I crave
Running with emotions mama tells me you better behave
No.. responsibility,
No.... bills to follow me,
Oh..... How I miss them days,
Running through the park, swinging high on the swings

I had a dream, I climbed the walls like spiderman,
Flyin high like Orvil, 'cos he said I can,
Anticipating, waiting for the ice-cream van,
Lookin in the mirror child starring at me,
And....

See the Catherine Wheel spin,
See me skip as I sing,
Tokes in Victoria Park,
Tellin ghost stories so scared of the dark

[David]
Welcome to the future,
All types to suit ya,
.Point. 2 nutters per-every-square-meter,
Spirited away, and I'm humble when I meet ya,
Locked in my wordplay,
Doin' it with synergy,
Don't believe the talk about renewable energy,
Swingin' from the branches,
Shine from the enemy.

God-ly almighty, He's alright with me,
I've got these basic needs, just like newly sown grass seeds,
Sub-text in your dreams, things you couldn't believe...
Nah, you wouldn't believe it,
And that girl at present;
I think she'd definitely leave me.
Got a nought an' breeze as I watch the trees leaning.
Dwelling on the past,
Overtaken by the cold,
Two chapped lips and a coffee I hold,
They trying to find ways to keep the caps frozen,
Poppies overseas got our mothers hearts broken,
Stars in the sky, it's like, dot-to-dot,
This is grimey as sunshine, and seaside rock.

[Yoshi]
And let me sing it, cos if I sing it, it would go like this-
When I'm running in the sight of the sun, I wanna have that fun with you...
...come on David,
[Yoshi & David]
When I'm running in the sight of the sun, I wanna have that fun with you...
...come on Rahma,
[Yoshi & Rahma]
When I'm running in the sight of the sun, I wanna have that fun with you...
...come on everybody, everybody, everybody....
[Everybody]
When I'm running in the sight of the sun, I wanna have that fun with you...

I can't sing but I got some soul...
