Issa(pronounced eeee-sah) (formerly known as Jane Siberry, born October 12, 1955 in Toronto, Ontario) is most famous for her early 1980s new wave hits such as "Mimi on the Beach", "I Muse Aloud" and "One More Colour". Internationally, she is best known for her 1993 album When I Was a Boy.Following the commercial failure of her 1995 album Maria, Siberry founded her own independent label, Sheeba Records. She has released all of her subsequent material on that label. Her public profile has been lower since she became an independent artist; however, she retains a devoted cult following. Early in 2006, she closed her Sheeba office, then sold and gave away nearly all of her possessions -- including her home and instruments.

and numbering in the...

oh and you're moving past the
walls of the city
to the great open-ness
it's in the air
it's in the air

and the grass is starting to grow
and the rivers are starting to run
it's in the air
singin' the same song
singin' the same song
singin' the same song

oh and the birds are starting to
return
oh, seein' them seein' them
and the sap...oh
the trees are starting to turn
and the little lamb...

spring is in the air
singing' the same song

oh
beautiful child
there is much ahead
there is much ahead
there is much joy
there is much joy
there is much joy

oh
there is much ahead
children
children
