Xavier Rudd - Joanna lyrics

I can see my old man
Singing harvest into the night
I can see him tapping his rings
On the wheel as he drives
Plain to me needle and
The damage done in my mind
Memories the radio wasn't working for a time

And we can all hold our sweetest memories
And pull them from the shadows
Of the darkness we've seen
And hold them like a beacon
On this crazy journey
In this ever changing world
And it's secret societies

I can see happy faces dancing
Long into the night
And I can see children rolling in
The dirt by the fire
Sweet memories laying facе up little
Hand tucked in mine
Rеspectfully sharing stories of the
Stars from another time

And it was hard to imagine a scene
Where the people of the world would
Be locked down in their streets
And the borders that we knew
To be careless and free
Had become strict state lines
And illegal to breach

I agree without love there's
No foundation to start
And I agree all that matters are
The matters of the heart
Plain to see all the hatred in
The wells of the past
Lost at sea treading water between
The light and the dark

And it's not hard to imagine a scene
Where all religions of the world
Come together in peace
To wash the hands of time
To start over and see
If we can love the earth
Just like the ancients believed

And it's not hard to imagine a scene
Where the rhythm of the earth
Is in perfect harmony
Where the songs of the birds
Put you quietly to sleep
And with the sweetest morning breeze they
Pull you gently from your dreams your dreams
