The sun rises and the sun goes down and hastens back to the place Where it rose
that from thence it may rise again
Finding all things wearisome unsatisfied my eyes not satisfied with Seeing,
my ears unsatisfied with hearing
Wondering of that which is now that which has been and that which is to be
For my time on earth I pay dearly for the past
Confusion embraces my heart for to know self is to forgive self my On my
sojourn of truth
Free my heart so my soul may fly
Free my mind of my worldly wants and desires
I look towards heaven with my arms open wide
Take my hand come and take my hand
Sadness fills my heart
Too weak to get by, slave to discontentment and self-pity
One generation passes and another generation comes
But change abides forever
I come forth from my mother’s womb and naked shall I return to the earth to go
as I came
Taking nothing of this supposed worldly gain
I’m so ready to go
Free my heart so my soul may fly
Free my mind of my worldly wants and desires
I look towards heaven with my arms open wide
Take my hand come and take my hand
Free my heart so my soul may fly
Free my mind of my worldly wants and desires
I look towards heaven with my arms open wide
Take my hand come and take my hand
Come and take my hand
Free my heart so my soul may fly
Free my mind of my worldly wants and desires
I look towards heaven with my arms open wide
Take my hand come and take my hand
I’m so ready to go
Free my heart so my soul may fly
Free my mind of my worldly wants and desires
I look towards heaven with my arms open wide
Take my hand come and take my hand
Come and take my hand
Come and take my hand
Come and take my hand
Come and take my hand
Free my heart
Come and take my hand, baby
I have not heard this song in a long time,until today.a co worker of mine asked if I ever heard of this woman ...Meshell ...she shared and ear bud and we listine together ...she got a kick that I knew the words...I got home and pulled all the CDS I have of Meshell to play ...great music never gets old ...it just changes with you .
I have ties to Howard University. She has ties to Washington DC- Maryland and Virginia. She is a lyrical poet. She was loved by several Howard U students,that I was lucky to meet on campus. She totally seems like someone who would live in a hip area in New York or San Francisco. She is loved by many people who are aware of great music!
