Ravenna Woods - An Atoll

 

There is a little village that I saw in the middle of the ocean.
People ? living good and living right; they?re just taking walks and having talks
Through the days and nights?
Waking up in the middle of the night ? you?ll hold the spear and I?ll be shining the light.
Little lanterns on the ocean side, floating down a star lit trail in the dead of the night?
They shared every last thing that they had, so we shared our lives together -
Through the good and bad.
I had many laughs and even fights ? I had parents, friends and relatives
On that little island.
I remember a little girl that died, went to her funeral ? her relatives were right by her side.
Playing music in my old classroom;
Students sneaking outta their dorms just to catch a tune.
Gotta keep the little kids in school
To learn about the politics of old men, guns and rich fools?
