"Galaxies" by Maisha Lani

Maisha Lani performed "Galaxies" at the pre-launch party for Half Wild in September 2017. Thank you, Maisha!

“I had been traveling for the last three years between the US, Australia and New Zealand…and over the course of that time I met so many people along the way that struck something deep within me…folks that I felt I had known for years, and often I would only spend a few days with them before our paths took us in different directions. The ultimate feeling that kept creeping into my mind and heart was that I have known all of these people, friends and lovers and mothers from another time. Some type of karmic dance if you will... what a magnificent life. To find those parts of yourself in others' eyes & songs….” - Maisha Lani

Galaxies, by Maisha Lani

Feet, dirt, dust & dreams
Destiny she leads

You knew and no one knew
You knew and no one knew

As roads became our home
trust held strong like stone  

I let my heart go
A hunger in me rose 

For you, for you, for you, 
Have known me from another time 

And we, we, we
Share memories in each others eyes 

Earth turns & shakes
Parts of us awake 

An ancient deepening
From realms far, between

In your travelled soul
lives a bond so old 

Ripples start to grow
A hunger in me rose

For you, you, you
Have loved me from another time 

And we, we, we
Share memories in each others eyes

How did the earth come to be
Bursting from stars & g a l a x i e s 

How did you find me
Across the stars & g a l a x i e s
