[JOSEPH]
How to say it
How to begin
One who searches within
Alaiyo
One who hungers
Seeking the true
"Bread alone will not do"
Alayio
How to tell you?
Picture the mountains so tall,
Rivers so wide
One who dreams of reaching the other side
Alaiyo
[BENEATHA]
Seeing your world
Touching on mine
Weaves a whole new design
Alaiy-
[JOSEPH]
Alaiyo
[BENEATHA]
Alaiyo
[JOSEPH]
Something stronger
Somehow reborn
Like the sunlight each dawn
Alaiyo
[BENEATHA]
Alaiyo
[JOSEPH]
Heartbeats tell me
Beating like drums of my home
[BOTH]
Calling my name
We have made
Our two different worlds the same
Alaiyo!
[JOSEPH]
Let me tell you how it will be
In your home 'cross the see
Alaiyo
Early mornings bathed in the sun
[BOTH]
We will see them as one
Alaiyo
Voices rising songs that our people have sung
Songs of the land
How a dream can grow from a grain of sand!
[BENEATHA]
Alaiyo!
[JOSEPH]
Alaiyo!
[BENEATHA]
Alaiyo!
[JOSEPH]
Alaiyo!
[BENEATHA]
Alaiyo!
[BOTH]
Alaiyo!
