Yutaka's Song .mov

Song for my Japanese friend Yutaka. He and his friends have been organizing a tour for me in Japan in April but we have decided to postpone the tour because of the recent catastrophes. My thoughts are with Yutaka his family and his friends and I hope to see him soon!

Yutaka's Song

I've never really heard your voice
Just read your words upon the page
I've never really seen your face
Just felt your kindness shine on me
I know there are no words to say
On these dark and dreadful days
So I will wait a little while
To see Yutaka smile

So glad to hear that you're okay
It must be hard to watch the news
If I can help in some small way
My thoughts and words are just for you
Your country will again be strong
We'll wait a while it won't take long
Till I see the enchanted land
And shake Yutaka's hand

A small gift I send to you
I wish I knew the words to say
I long to share a meal and song
I hope good things soon come your way
I'll try to learn a word or two
Something kind to say to you
We'll wait till there are clearer skies
To shine upon Yutaka's eyes

Lovely song, Rodney,so heartfelt -- and I hope you do get to Japan soon. It's been 25 years since I spent a mere 3 weeks there, but I will never forget it; I can still see so much of the beauty I found in the temples and shrines, and the crazy energy of Tokyo, without even having to look at my photos...my heart hurts to think of what they have endured.

Wow. That's such an amazing song, I pray Yutaka and his family and the rest of Japan.
