Strumming

It was one, it was two, it was a hundred
The world was coming and no one
Knew I was a guitar player
Who could give me love or cash...

It was one, it was two, it was a hundred
They came to ask me:
"Hey you, where you headed
Where you from?
Just spill what you got
To share"...

Standing in the middle of the world
I felt my moment arrive
I looked at the world and saw nothing
No shadow, no sun
No wind...

I wish right now
I had my guitar
To sing...(4x)

To sing!

It was a day, it was bright
Almost noon
It was a spoken song
Without strumming
Violence, guitar
Guitar player
Death all around
The whole world...

It was a day, it was bright
Almost noon
There was someone who swore
To break me
But I don’t remember pain
Or fear
I only knew the waves of the sea...

They threw the guitar into the world
But I went down deep to find it
If I grab the guitar
I’ll strum!
I can’t stop my song
No!...

I wish right now
I had my guitar
To sing, to sing
Strumming!...(4x)

Strummmmmm!

It was one, it was two, it was a hundred
It was a day, it was bright
Almost noon
To wrap up my song
Seems right
Promising a new strum
One day I know
Completely
I hope it won’t take long
That day I’m sure will come
I’ll say right away what I came
To find
Running through the world
I won’t leave the guitar behind
I’ll see the time changed
And a new place to sing...

I wish right now
I had my guitar
To sing
Strumming!...(4x)

La, laia, laia, laia...
La, laia, laia, laia...
La, laia, laia, laia...

I wish right now
I had my guitar
To sing
Strumming!...(4x)

To sing
Strummmmmm!...(4x)

I wish right now
I had my guitar
To sing!
