written by Abbey Lincoln

lyrics

Down here below
The winds of change are blowing through the weary night
I pray my soul will find me shining in the morning light
Down here below

Down here below
it's not so easy just to be
sometimes I'm really all at sea
You made me when the world was new
and skies were blue
and I am here because there's you

They say I'll never see your face
that we're all banished from your grace
the one you fashioned with your hand
and scattered all across the land
but I am happy just to know
that you will go where I must go
for there are wounds and scars to show
living here, down here below

Down here below
the setting sun is shining on my melancholy mood
I hear the distant thunder and the crying of the loon
down here below

I'm yours alone
the only one to call my own
the only one I've ever known
Sometimes I see you standing there
Sometimes I'm free
and you are here, down here with me

You made me just the way to be
a heart that feels and eyes to see
a strong embrace, a simple hand
a spirit free that says "I can"
and I am happy just to know
that you will go where I must go
for you will send me, this I know
living here, down here below.

about

Kosi New York, New York

She's more than just a drama queen. She's got piercing eyes and a voice that's larger than her body. But, small as she is, she won't fit in a box. She switches styles more quickly than you can follow. First she's jazz, then she's blues, then she's rock, but always powerful. You definitely want to hear this girl sing... if you can handle it. ... more
