blastar - exile : tribute to miriam makeba lyrics
miriam makeba
« it is known that africa only had black people. europe had white people. asia had yellow people. now, it is absurd to say that we africans were not in africa when white people first came »
verse 1
we don’t need to worry
we’re just looking for freedom
we got a destiny
we all have to pass the seasons
all demons are buried
don’t need to stay imprisoned
this is not our country
run away from illusions
chorus
isn’t exile the right place?
let’s fly above the mountains
we’re looking for the sun
isn’t exilе the right way?
let’s fly above thе oceans
we’re looking for the sun
ad lib x2
we gotta stand up
we cannot stay
we gotta look up
haven’t we prayed
we gotta hurry up
we cannot stay
we keep on looking up
we’re not afraid
verse 2
i don’t want to lose my dreams
i’m just looking for my kingdom
i got my destiny
i don’t need a thousand reasons
they push me to leave, mahali (swahili word)
but this is not my nation
diamonds under my feet
please let me run like the children
let me run like thes children
chorus
isn’t exile the right place?
let’s fly above the mountains
we’re looking for the sun
isn’t exile the right way?
let’s fly above the oceans
we’re looking for the sun
ad lib x2
we gotta stand up
we cannot stay
we gotta look up
haven’t we prayed
we gotta hurry up
we cannot stay
we keep on looking up
we’re not afraid

“secondly, the conqueror writes history. they came, . now you don’t expect people who came to invade us to write the truth about us »
