Miranda Lee Richards
From ANDRAS JONES: WAYNE JOBSON is an accomplished reggae producer, a radio host, and a big fan of MIRANDA LEE RICHARDS. It’s of little surprise that this soulful cat is NOT a big fan of the current resident of the White House, which is where he goes with his question but not before digging into the connections between American country music and the music of his native land, Jamaica.
“LUCID I WOULD DREAM”
It was the truth that you fear
That propelled you to attack
Shooting arrows to the sun
They’re here and then they’re gone
They’re here and then they’re gone
So in the depths you would dwell
That’s what you know so well
On deaf ears they fell
And on eyes that couldn’t see
Life’s mystery
(CHORUS)
Cooling waters
Riding the waves
The salt that tastes so sweet
Pull me under
I’ll be OK
Feel the bottom with my feet
Lucid I would dream
So I would cross that bridge
Looking down on it all
Hearing voices in the mist
And a promise unfulfilled
That haunted me still
(CHORUS 2)
Cooling waters
Riding the waves
The salt that tastes so sweet
Pull me under
I’ll be OK
Underwater I can breathe
Lucid I would dream
It’s here and then it’s gone
It’s here and then it’s gone
It’s here and then it’s gone
It’s here and then it’s gone
————————————————
I don’t need to be saved
Even if I cannot swim
For the helpless and be brave
And the weak can be strong
When there’s a need to belong
ALT: Of what was I afraid?
What do I need to say?
The helpless can be brave
I do not need to be saved
Riding the waves/Cradled Buoyed by the sea
ALT:
A promise unfulfilled
That haunted you still
Building castles in the sand
They’re here and then they’re gone
They’re here and then they’re gone
ALT:
I do not need to be saved
Even if I cannot swim
For the helpless can be brave
And the weak can be strong
When they need to belong
Were you proven wrong?
One of life’s mysteries
Pools of water riding the waves/My head above water breathing with the waves
I feel the bottom with my feet (2nd time*)
It is time to break free (2nd)
Near to the shore
Underwater I can breath
Lucid I will/as a dream
You just want to get to shore
You just want to be sure
That break at my feet
That break at my feet
Pull me under
The helpless can be brave/Even if I cannot swim/I’ll be okay
I do not need to be saved
Even if I cannot swim
For the helpless can be brave (2nd chorus *)
Underwater I can breathe – Lucid I will dream
And the weak can be strong
When they need to prove you wrong
Was there something of which I was afraid?
Was there something I needed to (do or) say?
Still under the spell
On deaf ears they fell
So you stayed in misery
Who are you in your being/Feel it in your being
With ears that cannot hear
With eyes that couldn’t see
With a heart that could not feel
Life’s mystery
My dreams are my strangest memories/melodies
I would search in the sand
For the things I had lost
For the years I had lost
After so many years
That kept you there
When reality becomes a dream
And the sand is a millions suns
The sand it becomes
Finding what you have lost
Building castles in the sand
They’re here and then they’re gone
They’re here and then they’re gone
Treading water Healing/cooling waters
Cradled Buoyed by the sea
The salt that tastes so bittersweet
One of life’s mysteries
Pools of water riding the waves/My head above water breathing with the waves
I feel the bottom with my feet (2nd time*)
It is time to break free (2nd)
Near to the shore
Underwater I can breath
Lucid I will/as a dream
You just want to get to shore
You just want to be sure
That break at my feet
That break at my feet
Pull me under
The helpless can be brave/Even if I cannot swim/I’ll be okay
I do not need to be saved
Even if I cannot swim
For the helpless can be brave (2nd chorus *)
Underwater I can breathe – Lucid I will dream
And the weak can be strong
When they need to prove you wrong
Was there something of which I was afraid? *
Was there something I needed to (do or) say?
They’re here and then they’re gone
They’re here
Grains of sand turn to/a trillion gems suns *
They’re here and then they’re gone
They’re here and then they’re gone
_______you could no longer hear
When you could no longer feel
The wind at your back
Looking down on it all
