Gilberto Gil Lyrics
"Up From The Skies"

I just want to talk to you
I don't want you no harm
I just want to know about your different lives
On this here people farm

I heard some of you got your families
Living in cages tall and cold
And some just stay there and dust away
Past the age of old
Is this true baby? Please let me talk to you
Let me talk to you

I just want to know about uh, the rooms behind your mind
Do I see a vacuum there, or am I going blind? Oh!
Or is it just remains from vibrations and echoes long ago
Things like 'Love the World' and 'Let your fancy flow'
Is this true? Please let me talk to you
Is this true baby? Please let me talk to you ha!

I have lived here before, the days of ice
And of course this is why I'm so concerned
And I come back to find the stars misplaced
And the smell of a world that's burned

The smell of a world that's burned

So where do I purchase my ticket
I just want to have the great side seat
I want to know about the new Mother Earth
I want to hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything
Hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything baby
I want to hear and see everything
