Gretchen Parlato
Within Me
Just like a small ghost in a box
Full of thought, full of laughs, oh full of tears
Full of love, full of hopes, full of fears

Just like a blue fish in a tank
I can swim, i can dance all day long
In my tank, in my private sea

I've got my sun, my clouds, my rain
I've got lakes, I've got high mountains to climb
Within me, within me, within me

High trees, tall boulders bow at me
Apes and snakes eat in the palm of my hand
In my world, in my harmony

But when you walk through the door
My sun, my clouds, my rain leave me
But when your dark eyes hit mine
My deep green jungle fades away
