AOMUSIC, (also known as, AO) is a pan-cultural world/new age musical group, known for an exotic blend of ethnic texture, rhythmic energy and ambient harmony. Their compositions employ melodic refrains, sung by Miriam Stockley (the voice of Karl Jenkins’ Adiemus project), and children’s choral ensembles from around the globe. Song lyrics are typically sung in a mixture of ancient languages or made-up phonetics, so as not to pay allegiance to a particular ethnicity; thereby lending to a more universal impression. Each song is composed, produced and performed by three well established recording artists; founder Richard Gannaway, Jay Oliver and Miriam Stockley. Since the Spring of 2000, the group has produced three albums on their own indie label AO Music/Arcturian Gate (established in 1996). Gannaway and Oliver produce the sound using a blend of live acoustic instruments and digital samples that cover a broad range of world indigeny, mixed with contemporary elements. source - Wikipedia

Lyrics
There's a child, known as Amerika... She is young and wild and free... There's a song to deliver Amerika, scribed on her golden fleece... Amaru of sweet asure to the League of the Iroquois - feathered kings who gave their homes - an arc of heaven where eagles soar like angels... Oh fairest Isle beneath our Sun, where every heart is a chosen one... Our fathers sailed into your fields, and we are the seeds... There's a child known as Amerika... She is young and wild and free... Lokahi, deliver Amerika through the violet fire of Peace... And so the wheels have turned once more to the light of an open door... Nutawa! Carry her through... Lift me up over Amerika on the arc of an eastern Sun... Lokahi, deliver Amerika, and she will crown the world as one... Can you feel the soul of Amerika - Oh so wild and free... Can you see the light of Amerika peering out through the eyes of Peace... Translations: Golden fleece - the Declaration of Independence; Amaru (Peru) Believed to be an earlier manifestation of the Mayan "Plumed Serpent" or Quetzacoatl in Central America; Lokahi (Polynesian) Unity; Nutawa (Cherokee) Rising Sun; Spoken word by child (Esperanto) "The only reality is now - a feeling more elastic than the wind..."
