Juana Camilleri - Finding Mississippi

Ugly duckling is always afraid, she'll grow up and become an old maid
A swan on a lake, played where she played, in the place she was made

Life is what happens when you're making plans
Some things happen and they're not in your hands
Follow the signs to the faraway lands
See how it all pans out

Nothin' no one can try, to make that ugly duckling fly

I've got to be in Mississippi at 1:45, got a gig across the water, cross a bridge across the sky
Finding Mississippi, ugly duckling's not afraid
She made it this far, she's a swan upon a lake
Coulda stayed in Mississippi, woulda played there many times
It's just serendipity on an ever-changing ryme because Finding Mississippi is finding your self
You're rockin' on the water then land right on your...

Self, 2016
And the People, don't know what it means to be, simple, free, spiritually
Oh Lord please, save me!

Aint' Nothin' no one can do, but help one another make it through.

I've got to be in Mississippi at 1:45, got a gig across the water, cross a bridge, across the sky
Finding Mississippi, ugly duckling's not afraid, she made it this far, shes a swan upon a lake
Coulda stayed in Mississippi, woulda played there many times
It's just serendipity on an ever-changing ryme
Because finding Mississippi is finding your self
You're rocking on the water, then land right on your ...

Selfish ways and angry mind, complaining all the time
Life can be so unkind
Open up your little mind
Keep the faith, keep the smile
Don't let the devil cramp your style
You just get out of your own way
Just get out today and play
Be a swan, not a duck
Change your mind, change your luck
Share the gospel
Share the love
Spread your wings and rise above!

Be the prince of light, not dark
Don't give up the fight for what is right, you can laugh not cry
Make us wanna live not die

Be a princess, that's your style
You share your gift and share your smile
You just get out of your own way
Just get out today and play

Be a swan, not a duck
Change your mind
Change your luck
Share the gospel
Share the love
Spread your wings and rise above!
