I finished building a 2nd mbira and needed a song for both of them. This little African Fusion style number (about our natural-physical world) is the result. I hope you enjoy it

From one come many. The multiple personalities of Freddy J form the band Freddy J. Time with his computer, guitar, keyboard, and harmonica are his regular gigs.
Waters coming down from Lake Okeechobee
They're not fast flowing, they move very slowly
No snow capped mountains so tall and steep
No geysers or canyon's that run so deep
It's Just a river of grass - in its simplicity
A river of grass - alive with diversity
Home of Calusa and Tequesta historically
Miccosukee and Seminole now share its bounty
It's just a river of grass -- It's just a river of grass
Ancient home, of all humanity
From Cape of Good Hope to the Mediterranean Sea
A continent of incredible living diversity
Nurturing life with all of its bounty
Africa fashioned by human history
Like the river of grass with a future of uncertainty
The herds on the grasslands, the forests of the Congo
There are fewer now - where did they go
There are fewer now -- Where did they go (2X)
There are those who deny facts derived scientifically
They deny conclusions confirmed empirically
Now is not the time to argue angrily
Now is the time to act cooperatively
What about the children, what about the future
When they ask you why, how will you answer
when they ask about green trees and seas of azure
When they ask these things, how will you answer
When they ask these things - How will you answer (4X)
