Oh the holy earth's a mural
seen from way up high
abstracted natural bas-relief
witnessed from the sky
clouds that cast a single shadow
drifting moving on the ground
creating an illusion
as the world goes round
Places where the folks inhabit
have a geometric grace
circles, squares, sometimes triangles
rules and lines in space
waterways and craggy mountains
seemingly reveal a plan
just as if somebody drew it
with a great big giant hand
Life's a repetition
it's an action of repeat
act of doing, act of saying
something bitter, something sweet
acts of life that keep occurring
ghosts appearing through the sound
waving at us from a distance
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/abbey-lincoln/-/wholly-earth.html]
'cause the whole wide world is round and round and round and round
the whole wide world is round
Generations generating
bring the people here en masse
living in a world where
everybody's second class
forming moving in a circle
ghosts appearing through the sound
waving at us from a distance
cause the whole wide world is round and round and round and round
the whole wide world is round
People here before us
leave their memories behind
actions done and actions written
acts impressed upon our mind
forming moving in a circle
ghosts appearing through the sound
waving at us from a distance
cause the whole wide world is round and round and round and round
the whole wide world is round
Round and round and round and round
the whole wide world is round

Straight ahead the road keeps winding
Narrow, wet and dimly lit
Vainly looking for a crossroad
Where a weary soul can sit
Lost and needing some direction
Dodging ruts along the way
Bumpy road, confuse a body
Lead a trusting soul astray
For some this road is smooth and easy
Travelin' high without a care
But if ya got to use the back roads
Straight ahead can lead nowhere
On this road you got a problem
Getting where you want to go
Speed limits almost down to nothing
Straight ahead but oh so slow

The one who has me for his own
Is on the town and I'm alone
In his blue suit and his new tie
He slams the door without goodbye
Tonight my eyes are jealous green
Tonight I'm melancholy mean
He meets in secret rendezvous
Some dame to tell his troubles to
The heel
He'll promise her most anything
A sable coat, a diamond ring
She'll find him out when it's too late
And all she'll get will be the date
But while the dawn's a distant thing
In his embrace her heart will sing
A dizzy head will spin with lies
And all too soon a woman cries
The heel
The neon lights that flash below
Ignite my room with double glow
And in the gloom I hear a laugh
Its coming from his photograph
I wring my hands and mop the floor
And swear to even up the score
But where a kitten cried tonight
A panther waits to claw and bite
The heel
I dare not play my radio
One more complaint and out I go
I'm sick of playing solitaire
The ace of spades is everywhere
They'll be no sleep for me tonight
The sheep I count are never white
They all turn out to be jet black
And who's the leader of the pack
The heel
At dawn I know he'll stagger in
Demanding coffee black as sin
And as I take it from the tin
I'll slip a little powder in
He'll look at me and start to cry
And cross his heart and hope to die
And mumble I know how you feel
But I've been on a business deal
The heel
Then as the pot begins to perc.
I know my plan will never work
When he starts to drink it up
I grab his hand and break the cup
Its only jealousy I know
That brought my thinking down so low
Why must I wait for him and grieve
Why don't I just pack up and leave
The heel
But now he's reeling on the stair
I'll try to act like I don't care
For in my heart's arithmetic
I find it takes two heels to click
We're in a web of love and hate
Where it will end is up to fate
I'll let him have his little flings
I'll be the chewing gum that clings
To the heel

Within some walls of stone
Another world is waiting for it's own
Another time, another world, another world
The magic that is shown
Is or for another world
Dimensions still unknown
Beyond the pale, horizoned veil
A world unknown
A technologic sphere
With tones and music's chords to hear
For conversations far away
With ships that fly and lights that play
The years that come and go
Are bringing us another world to know
Maybe a laugh, perhaps a frown
A way to go, a common ground, another world
Another time has come
Another world is here to meet the sun
A digit here, a circle there, a life to share
Another time is here
Another dawn that whispers in my ears
A different sound, a point of view, a shade of blue
The strangest thing to see
Are things with you and me
Lost somewhere in the night
A song of love, the guiding light
A time has come and gone
Some memories are captured in a song
Some stories told, an artist's hand
Something to find among the sand
Something to hold, remembering
Another world, another world, another world

The birds who live in cages
never spread their wings
They sit with ruffled feathers
upon their tiny swings
and speculate the birdseed
and while away the day
tuck their heads in feathers
of colorful arrays
I know why the caged bird sings
a sweet and soulful song
I know why the caged bird sings
when everything seems wrong
I know why the caged bird sings
and flaps his tethered wings
birds were made to fly away
and birds were made to sing
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/abbey-lincoln/-/caged-bird.html]
The birds who live in cages
feel the morning sun
shining through the window
where the captain lives by gun
and stretches forth his body
and warbles for the day
moves his head from side to side
and listens for the way
I know why the caged bird sings
a sweet and soulful song
I know why the caged bird sings
when everything seems wrong
I know why the caged bird sings
and flaps his tethered wings
birds were made to fly away
and birds were made to sing

When I'm called home
I will bring a book
That tells of strange and funny turns
And of the heart it took
To keep on living in a world
That never was my own
A world of haunted memories
Of other worlds unknown
I'll tell them of the trouble here
When they call me home
When I'm called home
I will sing a song
And tell them of a beggar's life
Where everything goes wrong
Where everybody's hopes and dreams
Are shattering by the wind
I'll tell them of a ghostly world
Of us and they and him
I'll tell them how the shadows fall
When they call me home
When I'm called home
I will tell the stars
Of the battles that were lost
In a world of wars
I will tell the rivers
Of the children lost at sea
Of a how a soul is bartered
And what it costs a spirit free
Hallelujah tell a story, oh
When they call me home
