“Say Ladeo”

Hey, hey, say Ladeo
Time for taking words away
The melody will tell the story
As we go along

Riding a wave of a thousand stories
Starlit journeys of morning glories
Where your long lost dreams are suddenly awake
Summoning a prayer, didn’t even know was there

Say Ladeo

A song becomes a thousand songs

Hey, hey, say Ladeo
Time we took the words away
We’re getting to somewhere closer
That’s hidden inside

Words only take you so far and leave you
Wondering just what it was you meant to
Say what you would say if your heart led the way
Take away the words, letting all the sounds just play

Say Ladeo

A song becomes a thousand songs
And each and every heart
Brings life and times and rhymes along
All the dreams you never knew were there
Sound and feeling, melody and prayer

Say Ladeo

Words only take you so far and leave you
Wondering what it was you meant to
Say what you would, say what you would
Say if you could let your heart just lead the way

Say Ladeo

A song becomes a thousand songs
A prayer becomes a song
So sing out loud or whisper low.
