I saw you there
|
All I wanted was to start with you
|
Was the hardest thing I ever had to do
|
Till I made you care
|
|
Yo brother
|
You sure heard me
|
Banging on the big drums for your love
|
You called me baby then
|
Talked to me like your best friend
|
When the time was right you were so good
|
Asked me what I like
|
And I said
|
|
Don't stop swaying baby
|
You soothe my soul and I stop searching
|
When I get lost in the rhythm
|
Everything stops hurting
|
Don't stop swaying baby
|
Take it slow
|
And I keep yearning
|
|
Again I fall
|
Lighter than the morning dew
|
Fresh
|
'Cause I always never knew
|
What I'm stumbling on
|
|
Yo sister
|
You sure heard me
|
Singing in the rain for some love
|
You took me unaware
|
Said things to make me care
|
Now the time is ripe and you're so good
|
Ask me what I like and I say
|
|
Don't stop swaying baby
|
You soothe my soul and I stop searching
|
When I get lost in the rhythm
|
Everything stops hurting
|
Don't stop swaying baby
|
Take it slow
|
And I keep yearning
|
|

Hansel and Gretel are holding hands deep in the forest. They are lost. This is
|
their own story. The two have fallen in love, and so, after a long quietness
|
amidst the creatures of the night, they begin to kiss. Traveling like heat
|
through each other's bodies, they pass through centuries of insecurity and into
|
a rhythm where they are not afraid.

|
Mamma has led these children into the wild unknown for reasons, known, with
|
father's help, of course, they tried very hard to get back home, but of course,
|
they could not.
|
(Don't stop swaying baby...)
|
And so, they find themselves through the darkness, through the sadness, making
|
love, making peace, making music. They find themselves, through the chaos,
|
making sense. This is what they want. This is who they are. These are the
|
things they need.
