	Story Behind the Song I wrote the song in the summer of 99 in Skopje Macedonia, a couple months after the NATO bombing stopped. I had already been impressed during my stay there with so many young people in the Balkans of whatever ethnic background, in their positive attitude and desire for peace. The word "Kaze" seemed like a good way to write about peace. The guitar parts were all recorded in Belgrade in Feb or March of 2000, I added vocals later in Hong Kong. Lyrics KAZE 1. Tell me where you're going Tell me where you been Start at the beginning Take it to the end Tell me 'bout the Balkans What's it gonna be? You lookin' for some freedom I think you found the key Open your lips let your words come out Stay calm brother, no need to shout Kosovo, Serbia, Albania, Greece, You sayin' "Kaze" -- talkin' bout your Peace, yeah, your Peace 2. Tell me 'bout your troubles I don't wanna fight Don't make your trouble double Rubble in the Balkans not a pretty sight Your land is your mystery Your language is your clue I follow in your footsteps You walkin' in my shoes now Open your lips let your words come out Settle down sister, no need to shout You crossin' all the borders from Greece to Nis, sayin' "Kaze" -- talkin' bout your Peace, yeah, your Peace 3. Dobro Macedonia You tiny little land You teach me how to listen I try to understand Tell me if you need me I never walk away You gonna make a future Gonna make heaven on earth here one day Open your heart let that love pour out You show me what livin' together's all about You makin' those good vibrations increase you sayin' "Kaze," -- talkin' bout your Peace, yeah... c) Paul Meredith, 1999
