GYPSY MEDLEY
Author(s): Micah
Songbook: Unpubbed Inspiration
KeyWords: Family Characters,

Now a long long time ago, there lived a band of gypsies
Who wanted so much to be free,
And they travelled over mountains, they travelled over hills,
Searching for people like you and me,
Who need love, who need love,
Who need love, who need love

And they had a gypsy king, Abrahim his name
And he lived so wild and free,
And they travelled over mountains, travelled over hills,
Searching for people like you and me,
Who need love, who need love,
Who need love, who need love

Come everyone from near and far,
Children of David, yes we are,
Led by Abrahim our spirit guide,
Travelling across the country side

Chorus 1:
Yai yai yai yai yai yai, yai yai yai yai
Yai, yai yai yai yai yai yai, yai, yai, yai,
Yai yai yai yai yai yai, yai yai yai yai
Yai, yai yai yai yai yai yai, yai, yai, yai

In the spirit, in the spirit we can be so free,
We can be whoever we want to be,
Gypsy girls dance 'round the fire that glows,
Living in a world where anything goes

[Repeat Chorus 1]

Abrahim, Abrahim,
Abrahim, Abrahim,
Pied Piper, Pied Piper,
Pied Piper, Pied Piper,
Don Quixote, Don Quixote,
Don Quixote, Don Quixote,
King David, King David,
King David, King David

Come everyone from near and far,
Children of David, yes we are,
Led by Abrahim our spirit guide,
Travelling across the country side

Peaceful night while the moon is bright,
Love is in their hearts,
Breezes blowing by, through the trees so high,
Singing to their God

Chorus 2:
Mountain children, yes, we're mountain children,
I will bless my Family,
Mountain children, mountain children,
Gypsies of the Lord

Campfire glows while around they go,
Dance before the King,
Damsels shake their timbrels,
While the men they sing, praises to their God

[Repeat Chorus 2]

Lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai,
Lai lai lai lai lai lai, hey, hey, hey,
Lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai,
Lai lai lai lai lai

Morning comes on the road again, happy caravan,
To another mountain, to another land,
Bringing peace to men

Abrahim, watch your children play in New Jerusalem,
Babies born anew, we claim the promise to manifest in them

[Repeat Chorus 2]

Lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai,
Lai lai lai lai lai lai, hey, hey, hey,
Lai lai lai lai lai, lai lai lai lai,
Lai lai lai lai lai

Come along and join our gypsy caravan,
We are headed for another mountain, for another land,
And if you'd like to go for a ride we'll go so high,
And if you've got the faith we'll climb up to the sky,
And if you've got the faith we'll climb up to the sky,
Our wagon wheels keep rolling on,
Our caravan keeps moving on

There is always laughter coming from within our camp,
And the voice of children playing, sitting on the lap
Of the old man who has been around for many a year,
And strong young men watching, maidens passing near,
And strong young men watching, maidens passing near,
Our wagon wheels keep rolling on,
Our caravan keeps moving on

The trials before us will be very hard,
But we can make it with a broken heart,
Because we know this is the price we have to pay,
Because we're heading for that great and glorious day,
Because we're headed for that great and glorious day,

Our wagon wheels keep rolling on,
Our caravan keeps moving on,
This is the caravan of the Lord,
Step out of your pride and get on board,
We are the gypsies of the Lord

Roll on, roll on gypsies, roll along,
We are the gypsies of the Lord,
Roll on, roll on, gypsies roll along,
We are the gypsies of the Lord,
We are the gypsies of the Lord,
We are the gypsies of the Lord...
