[male
vocals] (
Gentle
Tuareg
guitar
arpeggios,
smooth
saxophone
weaving
in)
Deep
in
the
heart
where
the
history
flows
Under
the
sun
where
the
olive
tree
grows
We
listen
to
the
wind,
we
listen
to
the
ground
A
story
of
a
people,
where
the
peace
must
be
found
Morning
light
touches
the
stone
of
the
street
Walking
the
path
with
the
dust
on
my
feet
The
stories
are
heavy,
the
weight
is
in
the
air
But
we
carry
the
spirit,
we
carry
it
with
care
The
children
are
running,
they
look
to
the
sky
They
ask
for
the
reasons,
they
ask
for
the
why
It
is
a
long
road,
a
path
made
of
thorn
Yet
here
in
the
silence,
a
new
hope
is
born
Oh,
let
the
river
flow,
let
the
healing
begin
Beyond
all
the
sorrow,
beneath
all
the
skin
We
are
holding
the
light
in
the
middle
of
the
dark
We
are
holding
the
light
in
the
middle
of
the
dark
Finding
the
fire,
rekindling
the
spark
It
is
a
slow
dance,
a
rhythm
of
the
soul
To
keep
our
identity,
to
keep
us
all
whole
I
see
the
old
men
sitting
in
the
shade
Watching
the
history
that
the
seasons
have
made
The
violin
cries
with
a
deep,
steady
sound
Connecting
the
sky
to
the
roots
in
the
ground
It
is
not
about
anger,
it
is
not
about
might
It
is
about
staying
true
to
the
light
Even
when
shadows
are
long
on
the
floor
We
open
the
spirit,
we
open
the
door
Oh,
let
the
river
flow,
let
the
healing
begin
Beyond
all
the
sorrow,
beneath
all
the
skin
We
are
holding
the
light
in
the
middle
of
the
dark
Finding
the
fire,
rekindling
the
spark
It
is
a
slow
dance,
a
rhythm
of
the
soul
To
keep
our
identity,
to
keep
us
all
whole
Tuareg
strings
singing
out
through
the
haze
Guided
by
memory
through
all
of
the
days
Saxophone
whispering
truths
to
the
night
Everything
shifts
when
we
stand
for
the
right
We
breathe
in
the
patience,
we
breathe
in
the
grace
Finding
our
strength
in
this
holy
place
So
we
keep
moving,
steady
and
sure
With
a
heart
that
is
open,
a
heart
that
is
pure
The
music
is
playing,
the
beat
is
quite
slow
Like
a
stream
in
the
desert
that’
s
beginning
to
grow
We
look
to
the
future,
we
look
to
the
goal
With
harmony
deep
in
the
center
of
soul
Step
by
step,
the
journey
is
long
But
inside
the
struggle,
we
find
our
own
song
Oh,
let
the
river
flow,
let
the
healing
begin
Beyond
all
the
sorrow,
beneath
all
the
skin
We
are
holding
the
light
in
the
middle
of
the
dark
Finding
the
fire,
rekindling
the
spark
It
is
a
slow
dance,
a
rhythm
of
the
soul
To
keep
our
identity,
to
keep
us
all
whole (
Saxophone
solo
fading
out)
Just
keep
the
spirit,
keep
it
steady
We
are
ready
for
the
morning
Let
the
light
shine
through (
Fade
out
with
soft
Afro-Juju
percussion)
