THE DEEP DEEP MOMENTS

The Deep Deep Moments – Che Chidi

Which is worse, to lose your job
Or to lose your integrity?
Well one day you might have
To make that choice…
Now which would you choose,
To be employed or to be yourself?
If one day you just had
To make that choice

‘Cause the deep deep moments in human life
Will come upon you every once in a while
The deep deep moments in human life
Will come upon you every once in a while

Nobody can advice you,
It is your own path
It is your own destiny
And one day you’re gonna have to make that choice…
Nobody should stand before such a choice
Yet everybody will face it
Some day, somewhere,
Somehow…

The deep deep moments in human life
Will come upon you every once in a while
The deep deep moments in human life
Will come upon you every once in a while

(whistle / hum / sax)

May be your job, may be your blood
Your best friend, your husband or your wife
One day something important will stand between you
And the values in your life

The deep deep moments in human life
Will come upon you every once in a while
I say, the deep deep moments in human life
Will come upon you every once in a while

They will come upon you, they will come upon you
They will come upon you every once in a while.
I say they will come upon you, they will come upon you
They will come upon you every once in a while.

SIEBZEHN

Ich war sehnsuchtsvoll 17 als nun
Tracy Chapman‘s Crossroads Album
Auf die Welt kam
Und in meiner Platz nahm
Ein Teil von mir wurde
Freund, Bruder, Seelsorger, Muse
Manche sind durch Vampire und Werwölfe
Geprägt, ich durch Tracy‘s Crossroadswörter
Durch sie bin ich siebzehn für immer
Vor mir der Zukunft Schimmer
Irgendwann werde ich erwachsen werden
Aber nicht mehr auf dieser Erden.

REAL PAINS ARE REAL JOYS

Caught in the middle of two worlds
Am I their divider or their uniter
Or lost in the middle?

Torn in the tangle of many loves
Am I their comfort or their hurt
Or they mine?

Rooted at the crossroads of four callings
Am I interpreting it wrong or right
Or just a tool?

Laws confuse me. Love comforts me.
Lord, don’t make me a preacher
Just make me genuine

No matter the pain
I don’t want to be fake
I just don’t want to be fake.

– Che Chidi Chukwumerije.
