Story Behind The Song
This song is about the environment and the changes and effects that mankind has levied on the world. The lyrics tell of someone making up stories or scenarios in their mind, on how things could be better. It is what I imagine Mother Earth might say if she could express her feelings.
Song Description
Nice easy feel and a hypnotic beat with electric keyboard and acoustic guitar arpeggios. Live Udu drums play a medicinal beat over soothing pads and you'll even hear a harmonica in the choruses if you listen close. A seductively sincere vocal track telling a story of what the Earth might say if it could talk. Very relaxing song with subtle but steady African and drum patterns blending with Western harmony and melody.

Lyrics
I wanna make believe, the sea will be clear, someday
I wanna make believe, the trees will be here, to stay
I wanna make believe, that all of us are, the same
I wanna make believe, the man in the chair, will hear
I spent my lifetime, providing for you, don't waste me away
I spent my lifetime, nurturing you, don't persuade me to change
I wanna make believe, that I don't fear the air, the sky
I wanna make believe, the children will thrive, not cry
I spent my lifetime, fighting for you, don't waste me away
I spent my lifetime, sheltering you, make believe we sustain
I spent my lifetime, providing for you, don't waste me away
I spent my lifetime, nurturing you, don't believe it won't change
I spent my lifetime, fighting for truth, don't waste it away
I spent my lifetime, sheltering you, make believe we sustain
