יעל דקלבאום

שוב אל האור

אדם סוחב לאורך זמן מסע העבר על כתפיו
כל יום נוסף מעט משקל ללב הפצוע
אדם נושא זיכרון ישן, כאב שידע בעבר
כל יום יפגוש בו מחדש כעין תעתוע

 

ופרח האש בו מלחש
חזור אליי חזור חזור
שוב אל האור

אדם מכור להרגלים כלוא במוחו העצלן
מחליט כי אין בו כלל כלים לשוט אל האופק
בסוף של יום מול הקופסה נשלט הוא ביד השטן
מטשטשי אמת כעת שולטים לו בדופק

אך פרח האש לא מתייאש
קורא תמיד לחזור לחזור
שוב אל האור

בקרקעית התודעה שוכן לו מפתח הזמן
בכדי לעוף אל על צריך לצלול אל העומק

ופרח האש לא מתייאש
קורא תמיד לחזור לחזור
שוב אל האור

Take Me In Your Arms

I think I've known enough desperation
And I think I've had too many complications
In my journey I have found no destination
Oh Lord oh lord
Take me in your arms

I think I've had enough false education
Been sticking for too long to regulation
As I'm longing for my true love's revelation
Oh Lord oh lord
Take me in your arms

Where the winds of freedom blow
Where the sun don't ever fade away
I'll be lost again no more
If you open up the door
Oh lord, take me in your arms

Have we not learnt the cost of segregation
And that there’s no true reward for domination
It's been passing through too many generations
Oh Lord oh lord
Take us in your arms

Where the winds of freedom blow
Where the sun don't ever fade away
We'll be lost again no more
If you open up the door
Oh lord, take us in your arms

I wonder if our global altercation
Can be resolved by chief organisations
Or the rainbow's ever changing variation
Oh Lord oh lord
Take us in your arms

Where the winds of freedom blow
Where the sun don't ever fade away
We'll be lost again no more
If you open up the door
Oh lord, take us in your arms

Angel song

Life is alright now, just close your eyes
Don't think about tomorrow
Let your ancient sorrows
Gently slide out of sight
Cause I know your heart
And I know your soul
And I know the secrets that you hold
And I know your face and I see your grace
I see something in you that you don't

There's paradise in you darling
Can you feel a bigger light safely guidin
Take my hand and hear the angels singing

True there were some injuries long ago
That kept you from shining
Ice that held you safe beneath the snow
Won't let you grow
And I think it's time for the sun to shine
For a higher wisdom to unfold
Like when you fall in love and the world is gold
And all you are is present
And you know

The paradise in you darling
Can you feel a bigger light safely guiding
Take my hand and hear the angels singing

מה יעירני

מה יניעני אם לא התאווה
מה יניעני אם לא התאווה?
איך אתקדם בלי אותה להבה
שלנצח אוכלת
ואיננה שבעה

מה ישמרני אם לא הפחדים
מה ישמרני אם לא הפחדים?
איך איעצר בשפות הצוקים
מלפרוש את כנפיי ולשוב לאלוהים

רק עוד ועוד בדרכנו לצעוד
כמהים אל היעד הבא
מה נלמד אם לא נעצור
מזמן לזמן לשאול

מה יעירני אם לא השעון
מה יעירני אם לא השעון?

מי מחכה בשחור האישון
שאפקח את עיניי כביומי הראשון

רק עוד ועוד בדרכנו לצעוד
כמהים אל היעד הבא
מה נלמד אם לא נעצור
מזמן לזמן לשאול

איך אגלה אם ישנה להבה
שלנצח דולקת
ואיננה תלויה

אינדיבידואל

האם תמיד אהיה לבד
אינדיבידואל
אנ יעם עצמי אחד
אינדיבידואל
בלי חיבור מתמשך ולא חלק מכלל

ארחף בחלל
מנגינה עצובה שנישאת לה מעל

אני לא אתאים דרכיי
לדרך העולם
לא אני לא אתפשר עליי
לא כמו שכולם

בתמימות ואהבה, בלי שריון מתוחכם
אלך בראש מורם
מנגינה עצובה שנישאת אל הים

הגיחוך משמעו מבוכה
אל תבכי ילדה
מתקפה היא סימן לחולשה
אל תבכי ילדה
כי כולם ילדים ורכים בתוכם
לכן המסכה
כל אחד ואחת בדרכם מנגינה

Missionary Man

Missionary man…
Missionary man… missionary man
Are you a visionary man?

Missionary man
The cause for which you fight
Is of highest importance
On our way to the light
For that we elevate ourselves
Over the rest of the world
Is the seed to all the problems
That we have to unfurl

Not too long ago
I heard your manifest
It affected me profoundly
A whole new path has been set
I held the highest esteem
For the man who opened my eyes
But when I saw you in flesh
There was a whole other side

I saw your lust for power
And the madness in your eyes
I felt your lack of kindness
And your disrespect for life
I saw you hunt a man
For not submitting to your act

And you sudden silenced poker face
As they took your photograph
And in that moment
The world was not a better place
And if I had the courage I'd say

Missionary man…

Missionary man, or missionary boy
Banging on the table
As if they took away your toys
To truly make things better
You must start from within
And if you fight without love
Your never gonna' win 

Twenty Seven

My daddy always told me
I’m going to make it far
Accept that you're the best
Cause that's just who you are
But little did I know
That he was speaking from the throat
Of a dreaming boy
And as I grew older I kept dreaming on
Everywhere I went I had to sing my song
Though I had much sorrow
I knew that by tomorrow
I'd be filled with joy

I didn't die at twenty seven
But I might make it to heaven
The devil didn't put his hands on me
And I quit smoking marijuana hold my liquor
Cause I wanna find my freedom unconditionally

Following the words I heard Neil Young once say
"It's better to bum out than just to fade away"
To me it didn't matter dying happily ever after
Just as long as everybody knows my name

But I didn't die at twenty seven
So I might make it to heaven
The devil didn't put his hands on me
And I quit smoking marijuana hold my liquor
Cause I wanna find my freedom unconditionally
Although I didn't get my portion
Of money fame and fortune
My happiness keeps growing day by day
And even if I'm not remembered
I never can surrender
Got to keep the music coming my way

Today I'm still alive
I'm already 33
It seems my life had different plans installed for me
My pockets never jingle
And I started getting wrinkles
But I've realized

That even though I'm not a big star
There's a wondrous world at my feet
With my music and my lover
What else do I need to be complete?

I’ll be gone

Oh, every morning I wake to a dream
Deep in your eyes there's a world to be seen
Free just the same as when I was alone
Still in the same time we're building a home

But oh, if you should break my heart in two
I’d have nothing in this world to do
Without you, I'll be gone

Babe, every morning I wake with a tune
Safe in your arms as I reach for the moon
Love has a chance to be gained, now I know
And this is a message that's worth being told

But oh, if you should break my heart in two
I’d have nothing in this world to do
Without you, I'll be gone
I’ll be gone , I'll be gone , I'll be gone…

אנוש

אני קול ברוח
נעה, נמה באינסוף
בתוך גוף בר חלוף
עצב מחלחל עמוק

למה ללכת עוד צעד
למה ללכת עוד צעד אל הסוף?
אם מאחורי כל רעד מאחורי כל תו
מחכה רק השקט המתוק

אני מלאך כלוא
יופי נצחי בגוף קמל
אין לי דרך לחזור
אין לי אלא לחכות

אם מאחורי השמים
ובמעמקי המים יש אור
אז במעלה ההר
במעלה ההר מחכה לי לבטח
רק טוב

כל עוד מאחורי שמים
ובאישוני העיניים יש אור
אז במעלה ההר
במעלה ההר יחכה לי לבטח
רק טוב

Mystical Morning

Woke up on a mystical morning
I went for a run along the whispering waves Of the ocean shore
Not a care in my mind
And realising how through my whole life
I’ve been searching the valleys and hills
For the footprints of the antelope
Always needed a sign

My eyesight has always been blinded
The mist on the mountains
From my long faded past blocked the way
I was eager to find
With self pity I have always been bonded
A slave to confusion
I never believed I could change
So I began to rewind

And through falling back
Into the dark tunnels of hatred and pain
True love has been regained

And turning back on that mystical morning
All along the golden sand
I saw the footprints of an antelope
And these footprints were mine
And right there on that beautiful moment
I knew the world is my home
And it keeps me alive

And through falling back
Into the dark tunnels of hatred and pain
True love has been regained
And through releasing
All the horrifying animals
I have always kept locked and sealed
True beauty has been revealed

What did Gandhi know

What did Gandhi know?
What did Jesus know?
What did Moses Know
That we don't know? We don't know

What did Buddha know?
What did Yitro know?
And where do we all go
When we go, when we go?

What if in each and every woman
In each and every man
There lies a secret passage
Leading to the promised land

What did Roomi know?
What did Hafiz know?
What did Tagor know
That we don't know? We don't know
What did Confucius know?
What did krishnamorty know?
What did Lao dze know
That Mao dze didn't know?

Is that in each and every woman
In each and every man
There lies a secret passage
Leading to the promised land

What did Yemima know?
Mamma Tereza know?
What did Martin luther king know
That Hitler didn't know?

Is that in each and every woman
In each and every man
There lies a secret passage
Leading to the promised land

And what we have forgotten
And we don't understand,
Is that we're all part of one hidden love
That's been here since the dawn
Of woman and man

אהבה אחת 

מתחת לשמיכה
מאחורי המסיכה
יושב לו סוד גדול מאוד
על עצב ושמחה
סופר לו כוכבים
כי יש לו זמן לעולמים
כל עוד הוא מסתתר לו כך
מפני האנשים

ישנו מקום רחוק רחוק
שלא נוכל לזכור
ונקודה קטנה של אור
שאי אפשר לספור

אבל בינתיים אנחנו שתיים
שני לבבות קרובים מחוברים
ארבע עיניים
ואהבה אחת
מתחת לסדינים

הגיעו שוב אותם פחדים
שכל מה שקיבלנו
ילקח עם השנים
מתוך הנגיעה
תמיד עולה השאלה
האם אחשוב שאת יפה
כשתהיי זקנה?

עניתי יש מקום רחוק
שאי אפשר לזכור
כשיחלפו כל השנים
לא נצטרך לספור

אבל בינתיים אנחנו שתיים
שני לבבות קרובים מחוברים
ארבע עיניים
ואהבה אחת

Roses of fire

A man surrenders through the years
To a battle he's lost long ago
Each day will add a few more fears
To sit on his shoulders
A man goes back to an ancient dream
A ship that was wrecked in the storm
Each day he'll sink it once again
As he's growing older

But roses of fire
A luminous choir
Is calling him from long lost nights
Come to the light

A restless man runs back and forth
In a maze he has wisely designed
Escape plans scattered on the floor
Won't lead to his freedom
At 5 O'clock he'll hang his coat
To stare at a digital sky
There's no control, there's no remote
No song to release him

But roses of fire
A luminous choi
Is calling him from long lost nights
Come to the light

Beneath the oceans of the mind
Lies the key of time
And if you wish to learn to fly
You'll need to dive deeper

Where roses of fire
A luminous choir
Is calling you from long lost nights
Come to the light
