Introducing “FrogEyes” the concept album for our James Baldwin class! 🐸💚
song lyrics: @bluejae
cover art: myself :p
Homeland —

Capo 1
C/Am/C/Am
I wanna rise up in the morning 
Knowing surely where I am
F
I want the same bed and the same arms,
And the same old precious lord to take my hand
C / F
Oh,
Lead me home, to holy land

C/Am/C/Am
Breathing in the dirt of Georgia
I know well on what I stand
F                                     Am
Feel it in the liquid heat, dripping blood from strange-fruit trees
C                                 G
Why the earth is red, one needs to understand 
C/Am
To be home, on stolen land

F/Am/C/G
maybe home is an oasis, only real from far away
maybe it’s behind the gates among the angels

or maybe home is not a place,
but a condition you can’t change
a sameness that you share with certain strangers 

finger picking to end off :p
