Super girl - Waksy

Two lovers carried by different currents, drift into each other and decide to never drift apart again. 

Lyrics:

Intro:
I had a dream about you babe
We floated through clouds of misty grey
There was a sea of green below,
are we drifters or shall we call this place home?

Verse 1:
Since we met, you've been the realest so refreshing
I feel like I have known you for so long
I can be myself when I'm with you

Rest assured, the feelings mutual I can't ignore
That I'm a better person when I'm with you
Can't imagine myself with someone else

Pre-Chorus:
Come on babygirl let's lose this crowd I've made reservations for two
Tonight's a Friday it's supposed to be boy's night out 
but I think I'd rather kick it with you

Come on babyboy make your move I surrender myself to you
There's chemistry between us I can't explain
My reaction is to stick with you
I think that imma stick with you

Chorus:
I've been waiting for you to come clean 
About your love for me
I love you too!

Verse 2:
You give me butterflies
Sweaty palms when I'm by your side
Make me feel like I've never loved before
My search has come to an end
Your my bestfriend

When we dance
I close my eyes and I breathe you in
Just wanna say that if this is just a dream
Please don't wake me up
Don't wake me up

Prechorus:
Come on babygirl let's lose this crowd..

Chorus:
I've been waiting for you to come clean...

Outro:
I had a dream about you babe..

Peace Like A River Flows

Can love survive betrayal? Samalina is the story of a village girl who betrays her lover for the bright lights and temptations of the city. 

Lyrics:
Pre-Chorus
Who are these unfamiliar faces?
We had love, we had laughter
now it's gone (repeat).

Verse one:
Samalina ever since 
you came from the city I've seen
you are very concerned with other things
behind the curtains of your eyes 
I see the silhouettes of liars haunting me

Samalina ever since you came from the city I've seen
you are very concerned with other things
you have forgotten the ancient word
don't pick up coal or you'll get burned
keep the fire in the fireplace


Pre-Chorus

Chorus:
Samalina ekokoli
Samalina ekokoli
Samalina ekokoli
Samalina (repeat)

What will I do? What will I do? I'll find another one just like you (repeat)

Verse two:
Samalina ever since
you came from the city I've seen 
you don't call, you don't contact me
yet by the sweat of my brow
by my panga and my plow
I bought you a ticket to Nairobi

Samalina ever since 
you came from the city I've seen
you don't call, you don't contact me
I thought your love was heaven sent
so I was hell-bent on being your savior

Pre-Chorus

Stay A Little Longer

Verse:
She's sitting by the corner
waiting for the day that I come home
She's sitting by herself,
tears are rolling down her brand new phone
I've been trying really hard to make it back 
But I don't seem to have the time
I've been trying really hard to make it back 
And it's killing me inside.

Chorus:
Baby Please don't leave me
I've been holding on to this for far too long
Baby, Please don't leave me
I've been holding on to this for far too long
So just stay
Stay a little longer for me

Verse:
She's in her room 
She's waiting on her new best friend
He gives her all the attention
All of which with me she never had
And it seems pretty hard for me to accept 
But I guess that's reality now
It seems pretty hard to accept
Baby, won't you stay with me

Chorus
Baby Please don't leave me
I've been holding on to this for far too long
Baby, Please don't leave me
I've been holding on to this for far too long
So just stay
Stay a little longer for me

'Quick!!Bring the best robe & put it on him. Put a ring on his finger & sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf & kill it. Let's have a feast & celebrate. For this son of mine was dead & is alive again; he was lost & is found . 'So they began to celebrate.
Coka Mucie means 'Come back home' 

It's the most apt depiction of the greatest love of all I could come up with.

Kilio means Cry in Swahili. This is a cry for help from ever endangered wildlife in Africa. I wrote it after the death of The Satao best known as Tusker (1968 -2016). This was one of the largest, rarest and oldest African elephants that died in the hands of ruthless poachers.
I got to see this beauty once and I must say!! No greater creature has walked The Wild

Kilio - DIRA (2)

Yesss, another slow song....buuuuut.....I think I connect more with slower songs because of their depth and meaning. Aaaaand, I love this song!ENJOY.
