Gypsy Pines

[Verse] I wandered through the twilight streets Where dreams lay soft in the evening breeze The night was laced with whispers low And fate had secrets left to show [Pre-Chorus] Then I saw you standing there A shadow wrapped in golden air Your gaze ignited sparks unplanned A fleeting fire I couldn’t withstand [Chorus] We danced where time forgot to stay In stolen steps we’d drift away Our hearts would hum a melody Of endless nights and mystery [Verse 2] The moonlight painted tales untold A map of silver skies to hold We traced the stars with wild delight Drawing answers in the quiet night [Chorus] We danced where time forgot to stay In stolen steps we’d drift away Our hearts would hum a melody Of endless nights and mystery [Bridge] But dawn it came to call us back It pulled the threads and split the track Yet even as the morning grew I carried dreams that tasted of you

[Verse] There once was a P.A named Jamal it's true Took a sailor out with the rough sea blue The winds howled mad like a lion's roar But Jamal stood firm he'd seen it before [Verse 2] The navy men came with a questioning gaze Why's the P.A here in the stormy haze The skies were dark and the waves did pound But Jamal just laughed as the sea clapped sound [Chorus] Oh Jamal strong as the stormy tide Facing the winds with a daring stride When trouble loomed he never did stay But when the calm left he ran away [Verse 3] The clouds did gather and the thunder called Jamal stood still as the raindrops sprawled Against the gale he planted his feet A master of chaos a storm elite [Bridge] The navy men puzzled they couldn't know This P.A had stories like an old winds show But just as sudden when peace might sway Jamal tipped his hat and darted away [Verse 4] Did he fear quiet did he crave the storm An enigma wrapped in his nimble form With a grin so sly and a quicker pace Jamal left behind not a single trace

[Verse] Tik-tik, tak-tak, tug-tug sa kumpas ng ulan Sa patak ng oras, sa ritmo ng ulan Pitik-pitik puso, sumasabay sa hambalos Tila kulisap ang huni sa lilim ng talbos [Chorus] Tang-tang, tung-tang—awit ng kalikasan Sa bawat tunog, damhin ang pagmamahalan Plink-plink, pak-pak, aliw-iw ng ‘di mapantayan Mundo’y gumagalaw, pahinga’t tahimik ang sanhi ng pantaw

(Verse 1) In the endless sky, I stand tall Leaving behind everything that held me down No more fear, no more doubt Now I’m free, chasing dreams unbound (Chorus) Fly without limits, free from it all Stepping out of shadows, I find the light that calls Every step I take is mine to own On this bright path, I finally find my home (Verse 2) The wind carries stories of the past But I’m no longer bound by them at last My life is mine, no one else’s hold Now I’m free, nothing can stop my soul (Chorus) Fly without limits, free from it all Stepping out of shadows, I find the light that calls Every step I take is mine to own On this bright path, I finally find my home (Bridge) I won’t stop now Chasing every dream somehow With wings I built on my own Now I’m free, forever flown (Outro) Fly… fly without limits Free in the endless sky

[Verse] Lift your voice and shout out loud Sing with joy among the crowd Earth awakens to the sound of glee Praises rise like waves at sea [Chorus] Oh make a joyful noise today Dance and sing and let it stay The melody that shakes the air A song of love beyond compare [Verse 2] Serve with gladness feel the spark From morning light to evening dark Step into His gates with cheer Leave your troubles far from here [Chorus] Oh make a joyful noise today Dance and sing and let it stay The melody that shakes the air A song of love beyond compare [Bridge] The Lord is good His love is true Everlasting bright and new Generations will proclaim The glory in His holy name [Chorus] Oh make a joyful noise today Dance and sing and let it stay The melody that shakes the air A song of love beyond compare

[Verse] The moon is sharp it cuts the dark Your voice a stain upon my heart The trees all whisper as I walk Broken strings and silent talks [Verse 2] The stars they shimmer but they lie Promises fade like clouds in the sky A shadow lingers full of pain Echoes screaming in the rain [Chorus] A melody I can't undo Every note it burns for you Ashes fall where we once stood Lost in a fire we misunderstood [Verse 3] These boots are heavy with regrets Treading paths we can't forget The river calls but I won’t dive It holds the secrets we tried to survive [Bridge] Your photograph it won’t stay still It battles time but bends its will The past finds holes to seep inside No place left in me to hide [Chorus] A melody I can't undo Every note it burns for you Ashes fall where we once stood Lost in a fire we misunderstood

[Verse] Sunrise painted in the brown of your iris, Heartbeats drumming to melodies timeless. Dusty roads carry your scent in the breeze, Barefoot whispers, your love puts me at ease. [Chorus] Ubuhle bakho, shines brighter than the dawn, Your spirit's the rhythm every soul leans upon. A queen with a crown carved from whispers of rain, In your arms I find peace, release from the pain. [Verse 2] Gold chains mimic the warmth of your glow, Language of love only you seem to know. Kente wraps your laugh, woven with grace, My compass, your smile – it’s pointing my way. [Bridge] Even the baobab bows when you walk near, Harmonies rise just from hearing you appear. Rain dances envy how your hips sway, You make the stars question their own display. [Verse 3] Drums on the horizon, call to the tribe, Your heartbeat syncs, giving me life. Red earth beneath echoes stories we claim, Together we dance, two flames in one frame. [Chorus] Ubuhle bakho, shines brighter than the dawn, Your spirit's the rhythm every soul leans upon. A queen with a crown carved from whispers of rain, In your arms I find peace, release from the pain.

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1] (Warm guitar strumming, soft piano notes) Paper hearts and midnight skies, Every word feels so alive. Ink-stained dreams, a quiet sigh, A love that waits between the lines. [Pre-Chorus] (Piano picks up, light tambourine in the background) I don’t know your name, don’t know your face, But somehow, you feel like fate. Every letter, every clue, It always leads me back to you. [Chorus] (Bright melody, soft drum beat, airy harmonies) So tell me, dear stranger, Did you wish for me too? Every word feels like home, Even though I don’t know you. With every letter, I fall, A love story left untold. So tell me, dear stranger, Will you ever be mine to hold? [Verse 2] (Soft guitar fingerpicking, light piano twinkles) Candlelit nights, waiting here, Tracing love in every tear. Pages turn, but still I stay, Holding onto words you say. [Pre-Chorus] (Warm piano melody, tambourine shakes lightly) I don’t know your name, don’t know your face, But somehow, you feel like fate. Every letter, every clue, It always leads me back to you. [Chorus] (Playful drumbeat, dreamy harmonies) So tell me, dear stranger, Did you wish for me too? Every word feels like home, Even though I don’t know you. With every letter, I fall, A love story left untold. So tell me, dear stranger, Will you ever be mine to hold? [Bridge] (Guitar slows down, soft hums, dreamy piano echoes) And when the truth unfolds, Will you still be standing close? Or will you vanish in the night, Like the letters lost in time? [Outro] (Soft piano fading, warm acoustic strumming, gentle hums) But if love was written in the stars, Then maybe, just maybe, you’re not far. So tell me, dear stranger, Are you already in my heart? ---

[Verse] Sepohon kayu daunnya rimbun Lebat bunganya harum berembun Walaupun hidup seribu tahun Tanpa makna jika hati 'tenggelam [Chorus] Walaupun hidup seribu tahun Tak bersyukur apa yang tersimpan Buahnya manis takkan bertahan Tanpa nurani apa gunanya [Verse 2] Kami bekerja siang dan malam Keringat jatuh bumi digenggam Namun apa makna melangkah Jika lupa pada Sang Kuasa [Chorus] Walaupun hidup seribu tahun Tak bersujud angkuh di awan Penuh dunia hasil buruan Namun jiwa kosong bermuatan [Bridge] Bulan bersinar bintang pun tahu Hidup sesaat janganlah keliru Harta fana tak 'kan tertahan Setitik iman jadi pedoman [Chorus] Walaupun hidup seribu tahun Tak bersyukur apa yang tersimpan Buahnya manis takkan bertahan Tanpa nurani apa gunanya

[Verse] Sunrise in Jersey another day unfolds Streets are stories paved with dreams untold With weary steps I walk these foreign roads Carrying hope where the fire never erodes [Verse 2] Paper trails and lines that never cease Chasing that elusive piece of peace In the chaos I find my own refrain Through the city's storm I dance in the rain [Chorus] The American dream is a restless tide Pulled in and out no place to hide Building a life with these two hands Writing my name in shifting sands [Verse 3] The boardwalk whispers a lonesome tune A borrowed sky and a borrowed moon Through broken English I try to sing The echoes fly though they lack their wings [Bridge] Every brick I lay holds a part of me Every step forward is a victory One foot in a dream one foot in fear Yet I keep on climbing year after year [Chorus] The American dream is a restless tide Pulled in and out no place to hide Building a life with these two hands Writing my name in shifting sands

I saw forever in your blue sky eyes, but you never looked my way I held on to every sweet "maybe," but "maybe" don’t ever stay Built a home inside your shadow, gave you love that you won’t miss But love ain’t love if it’s lonely, and I can’t live like this Every smile was a battle, every touch cut too deep I gave you all of my heart, but you never gave it back to me So I’m lettin’ go of you, though it’s breakin’ me in two I thought you were my forever, but forever ain’t with you I lost myself in the wantin’, now I need to find me too So I’m walkin’ through this fire, leavin’ all my love with you I stayed up countin’ the memories, while you were sleepin’ just fine Guess I was the only fool who thought you’d ever be mine Love should hold you, love should heal you, love should never feel this cold And I can’t keep holdin’ on to a hand that won’t hold Every word left unspoken, every dream left to die I kept on beggin’ for love, but you never even tried So I’m lettin’ go of you, though it’s breakin’ me in two I thought you were my forever, but forever ain’t with you I lost myself in the wantin’, now I need to find me too So I’m walkin’ through this fire, leavin’ all my love with you I won’t hate you, I won’t blame you, you just weren’t meant to stay But I’ll love myself enough now, to finally walk away Every step feels like dyin’, but I know I’ll be alright The sun is slowly risin’, and I’ll learn to love the light So I’m lettin’ go of you, though it’s breakin’ me in two I thought you were my forever, but forever ain’t with you I lost myself in the wantin’, now I need to find me too So I’m walkin’ through this fire, leavin’ all my love with you GOD, I LOVED YOUUUU—BUT I’M LETTIN’ YOU GOOOO!!!
