Name: Melizzma's Song by Arnold Buhmann
Duration: 2 min 9 s
Description: Improvisation on the Passing of my college friend Melissa Carmichael

Crystal In White (Ulijua)
(Mallard/McDaniel)

Washed up on the shore we landed
Strangers in a strange land
They could kill us for our strange tongue
They could kill us right where we stand
To the one – take us
To the one who understands
I will draw the perfect picture
I'll draw a symbol in the sand

Then she appeared
Many nights at sea I had seen her
In my dreams connecting the stars
In our sails… winds… caused us to be here
(Princess wa fuwele) was her name
(Princess wa fuwele) Crystal in white
She… she had the power
For us to live… go… stay here or die

1st Chorus:
Did you know (Ulijua)
We came in peace
Did you know (Ulijua)
We mean you no harm
Did you know (Ulijua)
It was your storm
That landed us right at your feet

Way off course on a calm grey sea
An island of green – how it beckoned to me
Gold dust sand – diamonds at their feet
“Hear our song – it will bring you peace”
 
Washed up on the shore she landed
A stranger in a strange land

She… she too was stranded
The Sirens’ song caused her to be here
Captured to do what was needed
Cast away from all she knew

2nd Chorus:
Did you know (Ulijua)
She came in peace, yeah
Did you know (Ulijua)
She meant you no harm
Did you know (Ulijua)
It was your storm
That landed her right at your feet

(Instrumental)

Bridge:
Escape was the plan
From this dangerous land
This time tomorrow
No pain or sorrow
To another world
With my Crystal girl

Outro:
They will never find us
A new moon to guide us
Looking to that new day
(Ulijua hilo)
We just sailed away
