Michael W. Smith - Lamu Lyrics
Words & music: michael w. smith, wayne kirkpatrick, and amy grantHere we are on a boat out on the seaOff the coast of africaHeading for peaceful shoresWith a cast of strangersTo an island hideawayI hear you telling meOf the place we soon will beA rebirth from lifes demiseWhere the world is still--its idealAnything you dream is realIts hotel paradiseAnd you say its nice(when you run to)Lamu--far awayLeave the pain far behind youHoping it wont find you inLamu--far awayYou say its there that you can runFrom the one inside of youLa la la la la la la la la la la la la la la laLa la la la la la la la la laSo here we are on an island in the seaNear the coast of africaAnd when its right--lamu nights,They can be so invitingHeaven here on earthBut I hear you telling meThis is everything you needWell, I dont think its truecause the way you feel isnt realYou attempt to try and fillThe void thats digging thruAnd its killing you (when you run to)Lamu--far awayTho that pain was behind youIt can even find you inLamu--far awayBecause you never can runFrom the one inside of youI hear you telling meOf the place we soon will beA rebirth from lifes demiseWhere the world is still--its idealAnything you dream is realIts hotel paradiseAnd you say its nice(when you run to)Lamu--far awayLeave the pain far behind youHoping it wont find you inLamu--far awayTho that pain was behind youIt can even find you inLamu--far awayBecause you never can runFrom the one inside of you
