KEIRA BY JAMES KOLE
Keira Mariana, hair like black silk flowing Underneath the surface of a stream Far off in the Distance a cosmic ripple carries Keira Mariana home to me Late in the evening, along the riverside Sweet scented blossoms fill the blue moonlit air Low Parisian clouds, glowing in the night Where there once was nothing now there is a light Keira Mariana, hair like black silk flowing Underneath the surface of a stream Far off in the Distance a cosmic ripple carries Keira Mariana home to me Such a beautiful smile, brown sparkling eyes My joyful dancer has her sweet mother's light Infinite wonder, watches angelically She has got enough love to fill the sea Keira Mariana, hair like black silk flowing Underneath the surface of a stream Far off in the Distance a cosmic ripple carries Keira Mariana home to me Copyright © 2012 James Kole Publishing (ASCAP) |

LIGHT OF TRUTH BY JAMES KOLELight of truth, Descends into this place
Tears of joy sit sweetly Upon repentant face Gift of faith does carry me Over dark raging waters To shining liberty Three in one, the one in three Compassion and forgiveness The emerald 'neath the tree The air is clean, the conscience clear Embraced by mercy Released from fear Worry not, the comforter is nigh Death has been defeated Heaven and earth unite © Copyright 2012 James Kole Publishing (ASCAP) |

ROWING THE BOAT BY JAMES KOLE
Over the hills there's a crowded city
Been there once before A bout of acute curiosity Of which I'm cured of evermore Mama and papa love little baby Teach her everything they know Dress her up in armor bright Before they got to let her go Too few rowing, too few rowing the boat Too few rowing, too few rowing the boat The ocean wears the jewels they wore And reads the books that they wrote Drinking that milk eating that honey The cupboard's nearly bare Frost is crouching underfoot Snow's falling through the air Too few rowing, too few rowing the boat Too few rowing, too few rowing the boat The ocean wears the jewels they wore And reads the books that they wrote It was of thirst that I was dying Before I found the well Cupped my hands and took a drink And away my burden fell Too few rowing, too few rowing the boat Too few rowing, too few rowing the boat The ocean wears the jewels they wore And reads the books that they wrote Can't take the wet out of the water Can't take the root from the tree The sun fill the clouds with the morning light And puts the sparkle into the sea Too few rowing, too few rowing the boat Too few rowing, too few rowing the boat The ocean wears the jewels they wore And reads the books that they wrote © Copyright 2012 James Kole Publishing (ASCAP) |

THERE IS LOVE BY JAMES KOLE
It's getting early, it's past late I'm in no hurry I can wait There is love in my heart There is love Things haven't turned out liked I planned No need to shout and make foolish demands There is love in my heart There is love I wasn't always this way for me I had some serious doubts Someone must have prayed for me My heart is no longer down and out I've climbed up, I've run down I fill my cup but I don't drown There is love in my heart There is Love You got me baby, you got me good There ain't no maybe, I stand where I stood There is love in my heart There is love There is love in my heart Copyright © 2012 James Kole Publishing (ASCAP) |

THE LIBERTY TREE BY JAMES KOLE
While they danced around the liberty tree Their backs were turned, they could not see The axe and the irons of captivity While they danced around the liberty tree They'd been eating the fruit that the tree had grown From the seeds that forgotten fathers had sown They'd not tilled new earth, no sweat no toil Their hands had never touched the soil While they danced around the liberty tree Their backs were turned, they could not see The axe and the irons of captivity While they danced around the liberty tree Under the tree's branches they dozed in the shade In the cool afternoon they laughed and played They leaned on the trunk to rest their bones The sacred fire was turning to stone While they danced around the liberty tree Their backs were turned, they could not see The axe and the irons of captivity While they danced around the liberty tree And around the tree they lived their lives Free from struggle and sacrifice An extravagant party, a royal masquerade The debt must be repaid While they danced around the liberty tree Their backs were turned, they could not see The axe and the irons of captivity While they danced around the liberty tree Copyright © 2010 James Kole Publishing (ASCAP) |

UNRULY BY JAMES KOLEI know a girl she's a little unruly
Rolling and breaking like a river in spring Somewhere between justice and mercy Reminds me of when little birdies sing Under the moon, the star filled ocean On the horizon, sun's gonna shine I know a girl, she's a little unruly Lordy, lord and I'm glad she's mine Out in the rain or in the great banquet Her disposition is dressed the same She don't fear the utopian hammer She won't be forged and she won't be tamed Under the moon, the star filled ocean On the horizon, sun's gonna shine I know a girl, she's a little unruly Lordy, lord and I'm glad she's mine She turns her back on the empty chatter Steals away to a quiet place Listen and speak for now it matters When no one else can see your face Under the moon, the star filled ocean On the horizon, sun's gonna shine I know a girl, she's a little unruly Lordy, lord and I'm glad she's mine Standing tall, a tree of beauty While all around the tempest swirled Dancing leaves growing brightly A healer in a wounded world Under the moon, the star filled ocean On the horizon, sun's gonna shine I know a girl, she's a little unruly Lordy, lord and I'm glad she's mine |
WHEN THE DAY IS WON BY JAMES KOLEI'm gonna hold my baby close tonight
Now I know that precious pulse of life Tomorrow I'll be on the line With a brother standing on each side We'll all be a little less young When the day is won As for me, I've got ink on my hands The wind it blows the ash across the land The smell of cedar burning in the air I wrote a letter, told her "don't be scared" Our reunion will definitely come When the day is won These are the times when one must decide Well what's it going to be The world was not made to last forever, you know Search your soul if you don't believe me So we march to the fife and the drum One stopped playing and asked me where I's from But I didn't have nothin' to say My mind was miles and miles away I'll tell you all about it son When the day is won I seen a star shoot across the evening sky I saw a tear in the corner of her eye Your man has finally come back home And you'll no longer be all alone We can share that setting sun Now the day is won Put your little hand in mine I'm stickin' around this time The part I played is done Now the day is won |
