The path adjacent to Maya’s legacy

Deep within I know you can hear me cry
You know the reason too, so you never ask me why.
But there isn’t much that you feel you can do
You dance into the night and long for me to be there with you.

You sit beneath the stars, the fire keeps you warm
You blush as they clap after you perform
You took a bow, what did you dance to baby?
You saw a smile on their faces, but the smile wasn’t me.

With every step that I put forward, I seem alone on the floor,
The music plays just in my head, but I can’t sing the words anymore.
Coz I was so used to dancing alone, but then you came along
You went on about your own world, making me forget my only song

I need you now, but I can’t seem to see you near me
I need to hold on, why won’t you have a dance with me baby,
Coz I’ve forgotten the lonely steps that I used to danced with my shadow
I fell in love with you, now my shadow doesn’t want to dance with me anymore.

Will you ask me to dance, will you ask me to look you back in the eye?
Will you hold me in your arms, away from the world that doesn’t hear me cry?
Will you make me strong and help me be the person that I know I should,
Will you be my man, my love like you always told me you would?

Note: Ok here it is. The first look at a song from LEGACY. This appears in the film when Maya finds herself completely in love with Ammar, having fought back teh feelings, so that she could remain in a world of her own. This is the song that makes her reveal to herself that she has finally fallen in love, and that her life no longer belongs to just herself. We all fall in love and we all realize that our life gets shared with that someone special. Go on give them a part of your life and replace it with a part of theirs. Become one to create a new world, follow a common dream and keep alive the legacies that beautify everything around yourselves. Smiles & Prayers - Tagore Almeida - P.S: The first teaser of Legacy appears on my site www.tagorealmeida.com in the next few days, as this weekend I sit with my first producer & director to discuss this film. So spare me a prayer. Thanks
