They sat down in great sorrow with Knees bent and heads bowed (they Are called chullpas) and died. They were buried in this position. Others froze to death in a standing Position like stone monoliths (monolitos). the indians who live There today are very poor - no Clothes or food. they seek a better Life and move to the cities where they Learn to read, write and do any kind Of work. they earn money and dont Want to return to their homelands. Night calls through the air Reaching for its solitude Dusk lures like a lyre beckoning The quietude In state of constant commotion Full of rage and heartless devotion Theres a need that burns within to Fly away, just fly away Soft winds kiss the land Silent and in gratitude Children hand in hand Comprehend the quietude Through a maze of fear And compulsion Theres a race for the power And fortune Still a need within cries out to Fly away, just fly away People rush, people flee, they Move so fast that they cannot see Work all day, up all night, they Push and hide all the joy inside Like a wave that breathes in The ocean and the mountains Peak with emotion Theres a need that calls within To find a way, just find a way Time to leave and fly away, To take a leave and castaway To leave the worries and the dismay, Its time to go, Its time to play its... Time now to fly away, Take leave and castaway To fly... The moon it guides my way, Winds blow to show the way To fly... Dawn breaks, day descends With a calming attitude Shadows fall and bend Welcome in the quietude Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Too Busy Thinking About My Baby, Topsy, Trickle Trickle, Tubby At The Circus, Tubby Meets A Jazz band, Tubby The Tuba, TUBBY THE TUBA AT THE CIRCUS, TUBBY THE TUBA MEETS A JAZZ BAND, Turn Me Loose, Tuxedo Junction, Twilight Zone, Unchained Melody, Until I Met You, Until I Met You (Corner Pocket), Wacky Dust, Walk in Love, (Wanted) Dead Or Alive, Well, Well, Well, What Goes Around Comes Around, When You Wish Upon A Star, Where Did Our Love Go, Who, What, Where, When, Why, Why Not, Why Not!
