Lyrics
Meeting
life, I love life
but fear a world too similar
life, I love life
but fear imitation
I'd like to know if elsewhere
I'd like to know if can this happen another way
I like, I like technology
but fear for our forest
I like, I like technology
fax and internet
I'd like to know if elsewhere
this happens another way
I'd like to know if elsewhere
others feel the same way
(yafa yafama if this surprises you)
(yafa yafama didn't realize it)
our soul, our being can serve us, our cultural currency
this is a way we can learn from each other
you remain a foreigner, in a faraway land
when you use the fork and every one else the hand
even various climates impose a way of life
this vast universe becomes an ever smaller world
therefore let's meet
to minimize our differences
and tolerance will be king
(Ha! ha! ha! and tolerance will be reign)
(Ha! ha! ha! I fear for my mending culture)
(Ha! ha! ha! for it is so beautiful)
