Idylls of Love ____Part 3 (Long Way from Home)

To the green grass upon which we stood
You knew I wasn't confused
But you were wondering why I'm so scared
You are the angel that made this cruel world
A heaven to me
You are that happiness
I've seek all my life
You are a divine benevolence
From the orisons of sacred dusks
You are that future
I'd waited for all my life for
The beauty of childhood
But my trembling lips won't speak
I run back into the arms of my mothers
When the shadow of the night threatens me
I don't know if I should follow my heart at this crossroad
And tell you how much I care about you
But I'm still but a child to my fathers
With feet forbidden to thread on the enchanted plains of love
So I stood partly helpless
Partly confused
Pretending I never heard you
It came from the lorry
That will carry you away from home
It passes this route once in a week
And you don't want to miss this trip
A gradual close comes upon the embracing hands
Friends must now part ways
And write upon the slate of life their own destinies
Dazzles me each time I stumble at them
The white men made this
Mother once told me
It happened on the day of creation
Their eyes were spying on God
Where they learnt the skills of creation
While the black man closed his eyes
For once I forgot you were there still staring
Expecting answers for your questions
So I must tell you what is it I have to say
I don't know if you my little bird will find a home
In a land far from home
Watch out for part Four
