Thomas Z. Shepard - Raisin: Alaiyo lyrics

[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!
