Poem For Love By Iyeoka | Hum The Bassline

Iyeoka Okoawo (born April 28, 1975) is an American singer and poet (of Nigerian heritage), recording artist, singer, activist, educator and TEDGlobal Fellow. Her music includes elements from soul, R&B, rock, hip hop, and jazz.

Many now believe that the spirits of Nina Simone and Amy Winehouse have come back in the shape of Iyeoka. In today's music industry, where pure talent from women is rare, the singer stands out and shines with soul.

LYRICS:
Imagine the world, the world, the world without a song
Without a bass, a bass, a bass without a drum
Can you imagine the night, the night, the night without the moon
And when the daylight comes, it comes, but it comes without you?
See you are the song, the bass, the drum, the moon
You are the song to
Remember me, remember you, discover you
And the world is and we are so in move

So this is the place that always seems to be better than where you have been
So you run towards the new day rising in the distance
And you walk away from the days that found and fought you
You always seem to hear God when it comes
Even when it comes from the millions of voices that call to you

You make me want to listen for him a little bit harder too
You are a rose that blooms for a second chance on the all of the seasons
A wave that breaks on a shore left for decades deserted
You make me feel like you waited for us to exist
We are a translation of a perfection that just is
So take this hand from me,
Show me to your world

Bring this dance alive
Your love can paralyze my feels of falling
Carry my heart slow, see
See, I swear where you go, I'll follow
See into my soul
And I will take you home to love you
Coz this is a poem for love

Well, I can take one more day
Got to find my way with this one
To see the things I'm not great
All it leaves is a world falling apart
Falling into the deepest part of my heart
I can take my time
The life won't, won't just pass me by
I'ma stop tracing outlines
See this is the beauty of flowers growing underneath the sunshine

Knowing, water takes water to wine
Wine takes the grapes, grapes make the wine
And the wine breaks, breaks, breaks my veins
I see my, my name inscribing concrete walls
A day beyonds and centuries beyond
I can take myself away but not be gone
If I see my mind, hope on this time
Read the book each page and line by line by line
I can take my time or day to time
I speak my mind, I speak it all high
I speak this rhyme this time and never again, never again

Imagine the world, the world, the world without a song
Imagine the bass, the bass, the bass without the drum
Can you imagine the night, the night, the night without the moon
And when the daylight comes, it comes, but it comes without you?
See you are the song, the bass, the drum, the moon
You are the song to
Remember me, remember you, discover you
And the world is and we are so in move

Take this hand from me
Show me to your world
Bring this dance alive
Your love can paralyze my feels of falling
Carry my heart slow
I swear where you go, I'll follow
See into my soul
And I'll take you home to love you, love you, love you
I'll follow you yeah, I'll follow you yeah, yea
I'll follow you, I'll follow you, I'll follow you, I'll follow
