Last night I felt the Beauty in the dark,
Warm whispers spelt upon the mystery of a stream
And in the stillness of the night,
I kissed the moon,
For lost children wonder upon the valleys of this earth.
Last night I swayed amongst the rivers of a life
And through the thunders I found your smile,
But in the silence of your eyes you said goodnight
And in the richness of your grasp I felt a cry.
But Africa…
In the spirit of your song,
I knew your shadow,
And in the richness of your grace I took that train,
For the howling drums in my mothers backyard
Awakes my spirit,
And in the corners of your eyes
I have shared a story…
A dream.. A life…
But now it is dark and I cannot see you,
And the voices from my elders begin to drown
Now it is late and I cannot hear you,
For time separates the marshlands of this open forest
Where the breasts of this earth
Feeds the soul of my many brothers.
Tonight I drank music in a foreign lake
I sang history on an empty shore,
And when I danced the trees began to shiver…
For the voices in my dark..
Became too dark…too firm…too real
The Night is young and beautiful
The voices are still wondering in their hundreds
From a distance I hear the crows of the cock,
And so I danced,
For in your story
Life found a new voice
And in your glory, hope found a new song
