sail away to the milky way
it's there just beyond the andromeda
we're star gazing
sail away to the milky way
it's there just beyond the proximus star
we'd better send ahead transmission
so they know who we are
we've left what we've known behind
believing and jumping blind
we've left what we've known behind
don't know what we will find
In nebulae stars are born
In nebulae stars are born
In nebulae stars are born out of dust
Star gazing on to Nova
Track Name: Watery Air
Watery Air
a dream is a splash of watery air
love is a slap that goes no where
warmth and light i need each day
speak to me gently and i'll stay
i kissed your face with hands in prayer
my eyes are closed you aren't there
i loved you mostly for your mind
though i dream of us intertwined
and when i woke you were gone
the remnants of you made this song
water and wine are vital still
when pondering love from a window sill
Track Name: Oahu
7) Oahu by Kinzli & the kiloWatts
Floating on a blue lagoon
Under a Hawaiian moon
Listening to the Waimea Falls
and distant myna calls
Oahu I still dream of you
for you and my favourite canoe
i feel a love so true
Planes flew in from the sea
and bombed the Pacific Fleet
Brave men had to flee
a "Day of Infamy"
Oahu I still dream of you
for you and my favourite canoe
I feel a love so true
Sometimes I felt tired
of doing what was required
my hopes of honour did expire
Oahu is all I desire
Not long till my return.
For Oahu I yearn.
For Oahu I yearn.
Track Name: Don't Shoot
DON'T SHOOT
Warm blood spilt on another cold street.
No more will his young heart beat.
Dots on a pavement laden with fear
by his peers. Did anyone hear?
Five years in prison some can detest
a Deterrence that won't bear fruit.
Tightening security of some of the routes
will trigger offshoots.
Track Name: Safe Place For Us
11) Safe Place For Us by Kinzli & the kiloWatts
paint me a door in this wall
paint me a door in this wall
i can step through when you are angry
paint me a door in this wall
out from the sea an explosion
you were a hunter but i was slow
i packed my suitcase 6 years ago
i packed my suitcase with no where to go
so take this silence as a symbol
of my heart shutting you out
if love is what you give
then i'll do without
don't delay there's a safe place for us
don't delay there's a safe place for us
there's no need to be afraid
there's a safe place for us
there's no need to hide away
there's a safe place for us
safe place for us
Track Name: The Land Of il (3 part dance)
9) The land of il (3 part dance)
Dance, dance, dance, dance before me
let my chords stretch your body
and even out any pangs
initiative is awareness of the state
looming over us unevenly
Aaaaahhhhh
They came and marched through the door
and threw all my words on the floor
silence imposed silence imposed
once more once more
Aaaaahhhhh
La da ni nu la da ni la da ni nu "Halmuni"
We'll go across the border.
I'll see you on the other side.
We'll go across the border.
Shadows moving in the night.
Chingu chingu Aaaahhh
Track Name: We walk for peace
2) We Walk For Peace
we walk for peace side by side
we pray for basic rights
we lift our voices to the sky
may this human chain defy
we walk for peace in this world
we walk for peace bare foot and moving
we walk for peace in this world
we walk for peace it's been long suffering
we walk for peace in this world
we walk for peace change is a coming
we walk for peace in this world
we walk for peace carry on
we live in fear and mistrust
our hunger pains have united us
will we be heard or silenced first?
don't let the blood gates burst
we walk for peace in this world
we walk for peace bare foot and moving
we walk for peace in this world
we walk for peace it's been long suffering
we walk for peace in this world
we walk for peace change is a coming
we walk for peace in this world
we walk for peace carry on
there's no need for your gunned control
no force will ever crush our souls
we walk for peace in this world
we walk for peace bare foot and moving
we walk for peace in this world
we walk for peace it's been long suffering
we walk for peace in this world
we walk for peace change is a coming
we walk for peace in this world
we walk for peace carry on
