Ras Evelyn - Dear Janis (Take 2)

It seems to be a long way
But your life lasted so short
Many times warm, honey, many times cold
But you stayed strong
Oh, your voice is gold to me

I'm standing here on the top of my thoughts
Young and free, yes they are, but sometimes I snarl
You know better than I ever will
Thanks to your spirit for keeping me still

No more beauty in a woman of love
No more passion in a little girl tough
No more loneliness as a price to pay
For the uniqueness you gifted me with

Here's to you, Janis Joplin, the queen of the blues
Some choose Bible and some choose to booze
Judging means hypocrisy and I'm here to tell
I want your soul there when it comes to ring of my bell

There are many people deep down in my mind
But you're in my ears, in my veins; you're the end, you're the start
When I play the game with the lords I play with your cards
You are my past, my presence, my future, my heart

Hey Janis, I know you tortured
There are bitchy people, bullies, watchers and moochers
I know what it is to be pushed around
Your truth helped me fight and get up off the ground

Oh lord, won't you buy me a mercedes benz
Down on me
Cry baby
Oh come on, come on, come on
Maybe maybe maybe, yeah
Won't you move over
My little girl blue...

Oh, Janis, million thanks to you, girl
I always turn to your Kozmic Blues and Pearl
And my folks just don't get the principle of blues
But I do, man, I do, I chose the way to choose

Dear Janis, you gone, you here
27 years of cheerful fear
You were the one and only, the artist of spice
You made me cry and smile, you had to sacrifice
