Songtexte

[Verse 1]
While I'm gone
Please don't change a thing, don't change a thing at all
While I'm gone
Please don't change a thing, you know you're beautiful
[Verse 2]
And I'm walking in the sunshine with my head held high
Got my family together, got this big blue sky
And I'll go direction with my radio on
Receiving what i need to know, digesting wisdom
I can fly like an eagle from the ridges above
Descend upon the people with the power of my love
'Cause I believe in truth and I believe in love
And I believe we are protected from the spirits above
[Verse 3]
While I'm gone
Please don't change a thing, don't change a thing at all
While I'm gone
Please don't change a thing, you know you're beautiful
[Verse 4]
And I see a sister walking with her radio on
She got flowers in her hair and she's singing this song
I don't know, sometimes we're coming and sometimes we're going
Sometimes we're in the middle of the great unknown
Either way, respect for mama and her seven cubs
And the staunch preparation for the things to come
I will go one direction with my radio on
I'll keep it nice and simple, sending lots of love
[Verse 5]
While I'm gone
Please don't change a thing, don't change a thing at all
While I'm gone
Please don't change a thing, you know you're beautiful
[Verse 6]
Come and know me
Now please don't change a thing, don't change a thing at all
While I'm gone
Well please don't change a thing, you know you're beautiful
[Verse 7]
Hey, I'm sending love to Barcelona
And we'll be sending love to California
And I'll be sending love to Argentina
And I'll be, a big love, Aotearoa
And I'll be sending love to the Papua, New Guinea
Sending love to Izintaba, Madiba
A big love Samoa
And I'll be sending love to Yirrkala
[Verse 8]
My island, my home
My island, my home
My island, my home
My island, my home
(My island, my home)
(My island, my home)
(My island, my home)
