"GHOOM TANA"
Words by: Salman Ahmad of Junoon, Honorary Committee Member Daniel Pearl World Music Days
ALONE AND RESTLESS /YOU WANDER /YOUR FATE WILL CHANGE/
NO ONE KNOWS YOUR TRUE SPIRIT/NO ONE KNOWS YOUR INNER PASSION
GHOOM TANA...
WIN THEIR HEARTS WITH LOVE/DONT BE AFRAID OF THE CHALLENGES/ (GRACE) WILL RAIN DOWN IN COLORS/ DAY AND NIGHT
GHOOM TANA
THERE'S A LONG ROAD AHEAD/ DONT EVER GIVE UP/ IN THE DARKNESS/EVEN IN THE WILDERNESS/ THE FLOWER (OF PEACE) WILL BLOSSOM
GHOOM TANA
"The Water Breaks"
By Anne Carol
The Water Breaks
The water breaks,
The tide goes,
It’s time for living.
The water breaks,
The tide goes,
It’s time to begin.
It’s time to learn again,
It’s time.
It’s time to breathe in,
It’s time.
This may be the greatest moment you’ve ever known.
The world awaits your newborn cry.
You are not alone.
The water breaks,
The tide goes,
It’s time to try again.
The water breaks,
The tide goes,
It’s time to believe.
It’s time to play the game,
It’s time.
It’s time to speak your name,
It’s time.
This may be the greatest moment you’ve ever known.
The world awaits your open eyes.
To know it’s not alone.
If Jesus Met Mohammed
By Ed Perrone
If Jesus met Mohammed
What do you think they'd say?
Would they chat about the weather
Just to pass the time of day?
Would they wander down by the schoolyard
And watch the children play?
If Jesus met Mohammed
One fine day.
If they both ran into Moses
Hangin' out at the traffic light
Would he say, "Hey, guys, I'm buying,
Let's go out and have a bite"?
Would they laugh about the good times?
Would they stay up half the night?
Swappin' stories, tellin' jokes,
It just seems right.
And would they take a stroll into the park, Enjoy the summer breeze?
Kick a soccer ball around the field
Then relax beneath the trees?
Would they sing a song together
About joy and peace and love?
And maybe say a little prayer
To heaven up above?
If Jesus met Mohammed
What do you think they'd say?
I like to think they'd hit it off,
Make plans for another day.
Bring along their buddy Moses,
Everything's gonna be okay,
Three old friends just sharing good times All the day.
I think they'd take a stroll into the park, Enjoy the summer breeze.
Kick a soccer ball around the field,
Then relax beneath the trees.
They'd probably sing a song together
About joy and peace and love.
And maybe say a little prayer
To heaven up above.
And maybe say a little prayer
To heaven up above.
TEST OF FAITH"
By Kashy Keegan
Sweet child is singing
We shall overcome
I want to believe him
But my hope seems outdone
By all that I’m seeing
No justice in sight
So I can’t help but wonder
is God on our side?
If there’s someone up there
Then why watch us cry?
Witness such pain
As the innocent die
Where lies the justice?
Where lies the love?
It should be here on earth
And not just heaven -
Heaven above
People are dying
As the blind lead the blind
Killing each other
For power and pride
We pray for salvation
But powers just lie
And I can’t help but wonder
is God on our side?
If there’s someone up there
Then why watch us cry?
Witness such pain
As the innocent die
Where lies the justice?
Where lies the love?
It should be here on earth
And not just heaven -
Heaven above
I know today
I’ve gotta keep my faith
But I am tested by the sight
Of the crime we see
Against humanity
And the evil that we fight
So I can’t help but question lord
Will you hear our prayers tonight?
If there’s someone up there
Then why watch us cry?
Witness such pain
As the innocent die
Where lies the justice?
Where lies the love?
It should be here on earth
And not just heaven -
Heaven above
Ya Oud (Oh! Oud)
By Elizabeth Ayoub
Oh! Oud
tell me about the past
about love's troubles
about our loved ones
and those who were blown
Oh! Oud
Oh! Oud
Take me with you, my love
to the land of birds
to the edge of the world
to my mothers embrace
to a nameless country
Oh! Oud
Oh! Oud
Oh! Oud
cover my hand
with happiness
and forget
that gone are the days
where love had barriers
Oh! Oud
Oh! Oud
Take me with you, my love
to the land of birds
to the edge of the world
to my mothers embrace
to a nameless country
Oh! Oud
Oh! Oud

SOMETHING NICE (FOR THE WORLD)
By K-Gi Scarlett
Tell me SOMETHING NICE or, say nothing at all ( Say it twice, ) make
it Universal.
Give some advice speak it soft and tender ( What’s the price ?)
Compassion; sweet surrender.

I need to know before I go.
Is it really too much for you to do……
SOMETHING NICE for the World, Leaders and Heads of State SOMETHING

NIGHTSPELL
By Merry Citoli
There is a faint sound in the distance It’s drawing near with no
resistance It must be felt by out hearts Or fear will keep us apart
There is a voice in the valley
It rings through ghettos, streets and alleys It must reach deep to our
souls So as a nation we’re whole
Nightspell, you know we need a wishing well Nightspell, to look beyond
the lies they sell In one moment quick as a flash The stars whisk by
as they dart and they dash We find ourselves spinning the magic’s
beginning We’re under the powers that be, Nightspell
So wave the wand of wisdom
And give us wings to fly
As we touch the cloak of night time
And soar across the sky, Nightspell
Nightspell, you know we need a wishing well Nightspell, to look beyond
the lies they sell In one moment quick as a flash The stars whisk by
as they dart and they dash
We find ourselves spinning the magic’s beginning
We’re under the power’s that be, Nightspell Nightspell, you know we
need a wishing well Nightspell, to look beyond the lies they sell
Well, we find ourselves spinning the magic’s beginning We’re under the
powers that be……………..Nightspell
UnHoly War
By Fontain Riddle
It's been an UnHoly war
A passion play
A game with no score
A fools breath away, away
I think I'll get out of this
Before my teeth fall out of my mouth
I think I'll get out of this
Before my hair falls out of my head
I can't wait to wash my sheets
get you out of my bed
It's been an unHoly war
A passion play
A game with no score
A fools breath away, away
I won't need a bloody love no more
Un Holy, Un holy War
I won't need a bloody love no more
Un Holy, Un holy War
I think i will resist Before
my house is not my home
I think I will resist before my life is not my own
I know I won't be missed
I bet I'm better off alone
It's been an unHoly war
A passion play
A game with no score A fools breath away, away
I won't need a bloody War no more
Unholy, Unholy War
I won't need a bloody War
no more un Holy, unholy War
Warrior
By Fontain Riddle
Warrior
Your curse has broken Time to leave your weapons Where they lay
Warrior
Let the angel Let the angel Let the angel Lead your way
Warrior
Time to sleep Time to sleep and dream of peace
Here With Us Today (for Daniel)
By Amir Zaki
You spent your life doing what you believed, And that's the highest
place of all, a man can ever reach, Life can be unfair, if seen
individually, But we know there's some balance for life to Be.
You balanced for the angry,
And your work has been received,
You balanced for the forceful,
You confirmed our peace belief.
Daniel our friend, we see what you've done, And you'll always be
alive, in Everyone, Who can see the sunrise, and live another day...
So Daniel you're here with us today...
Yes Daniel you're here with us today,
Years may pass, but you'll BE WITH US that day, And Daniel, you're
here with me today.
Your family's called Pearl
And I can see that it's true,
It's like they always knew,
That you will shine.
Everyone of us, sees you with awe,
Like a hero taking a fall,
For the ones he leaves behind
Song of the Woods
By Melissa Rivers
What's the gaze that turns my colors into this a mass of healing grass
that adds some universe of bright to this human state of mind and wich
converts this winter into spring with your wings.
It's hard to say when words are not enough It's hard to paint the
fourth dimension poetry is the science of the soul as your passion is
the fire of my song.
The moon appeared, desire is flying
I want to leave my fear behind
and ride the path of the universe
were all the verses find your eyes.
And right through them I'll cross that magic door and right through
them I'll finally kiss your soul and right through them I'm willing to
adore this fields of bliss inside your fire has just begun.
And right through them I'll cross that magic door and right through
them I'll finally kiss your soul and right through them I'm willing to
adore this fields of bliss inside your fire has just begun.
Make it Real
By Bizzy Bender
Take this heart of mine
And lay it bare
Take this love I claim
And make it real
For what shall I gain, if I give not?
For what is this faith? If my love’s in vain
Take this vision
And give it wings
Let these words hit their mark
That the children may sing!
For what shall I gain, if I give not?
For what is this faith? If my love’s in vain
I’ve been weeping far too long
So little has changed
Send me out now into your world
Let me stake Your claim
Durim
By Jeton Murtishi
"Durim" is an Albanian word roughly translated as perserverance or
steadfastness. I dedicate this composition to the memory of Daniel Pearl and
to all of the victims of these troubling times. May we all have the courage
and "durim" to see beyond our differences, and to unite in our shared
humanity.
9.11 911
By James Wunderlich
All wounds will heal it just takes time
Nine Eleven Nine One One
Towers in the sky on a cloudless day
Towers in the air fills me up with pride
Before I fall down
Nine Eleven Nine One One
Brothers and sisters goin' to work inside
Bringing down a dream of towers in the sky
Makes a people cry
They say that someday all wounds will heal
It just takes time
And nothing ever lasts forever
How did this come to be
And why is there so much hate
If we turn the other cheek now is it too late
WHEN WILL WE
Words and music by Eliot Osborn
When will we when will we wake up and just get real
When do we tell each other just how it feels
When will this end
When will we just show each other what we got inside
Unbolt the doors and throw ‘em open wide oh babe
When will this
Game of keeping each other guessin’ and tryin’ to be so tough
Leave us with the same impression Haven’t we had enough ?
When will we when do we do what we can’t do now
When do we say what we just don’t know how to say
When will this end
When will we When will we finally make up our minds
Not put it off for some other time oh babe
When will we
Come to some sort of decision where we want to go
Are we waitin’ for permission ? I want to know
When will we when will we give up this masquerade
Just let this be some mistake we have made
When will this end
When this is over it’ll be so easy to see just how wrong this is
When this is over will we both be wondering
Why have we waited as long as we did ?
When will we when will we wake up and see the sun
When will this fighting be over and done
When will this end
When will this end
When will this end
When will this end
I Won't Forget
By Stavia Blunt
This song was inspired by the beauty and wildnerness of Africa (Kenya), where I
grew up; by the generosity of the people who taught me what true spiritual
beauty was, so often demonstrated by those with few material posessions. The
song relates how such qualities can be healing even in the event of hardship or
tragedy, and reminds us not to forget what is really important in this life.
Love, kindness and the ability to forgive.
Softly
By Robb Mills
A short musical work for guitar, cello, and vocals. The lyrics express feelings
of hope and gratitude towards someone who has permanently and positively
touched the singers life.
Lyrics: "Softly I will stay right here, watching you. Pray that I'll meet your
kind again someday. Softly I sleep, don't wake me, so that I keep this dream of
you.
Only hope I will be just like you. Gently I will believe, as you believed in
me. Softly I sleep, don't wake me, so that I'll keep this dream of you."
Burn
By Mel Watson
Burn
We burn brightly today
we burn oh how we burn
One word spoken between two
oh how we burn yeah
and I sing so I can make a place
where there's nothing
but love between.
People come in two
build a life
with dreams and colors so bright
Sometimes we run
life is crazy
and love takes so long
And I fall to the ground
and I lay at your feet yeah
and I prey to every god
to Jesus, and Allah and Krishna
Cos we can change the face of life
Just by looking at another point of view
cos there's so much to know
and so little to fear in love
We can make it through.
yeah.......
