irene sankoff and david hein - darkness and trees (reprise) lyrics

Loading...

[garth, spoken]
finally, out of the darkness, my bus arrives at the salvation army camp

[company except garth and muhumuza]
kati ya giza

[muhumuza, spoken]
we p-ss through a large gate and the bus pulls to a stop. and through the windows — out there in the darkness — we see all these people coming out of the buildings

[company]
ghafla mwangaza

[garth, spoken]
we rarely use them, but everyone’s dusted off their salvation army uniforms to welcome these people

[muhumuza, spoken]
there are soldiers everywhere

[company]
pande zote sisi

[muhumuza, spoken]
the man at the front opens the door

[garth, spoken]
i say, “here you are. out you go.” but he doesn’t understand. and he’s not getting off. none of them are

[all]
giza na miti

[garth, spoken]
but then i notice his wife — well, she’s clutching a bible. now, obviously i can’t read it, but their bible — it’ll have the same number system ours does — so i ask to see it
and i’m searching for something and then, in philippians 4:6, i give ‘em their bible and i’m pointing, saying: “look! philippians 4:6 — be anxious for nothing. be anxious for nothing!”

[garth & muhumuza, spoken]
and that’s how we started speaking the same
language

[company]
kati ya giza
(out of the darkness)
ghafla mwangaza
(suddenly brightness)
ma-badiliko
(everything changes)
giza na miti
(darkness and trees)
kati ya giza
(out of the darkness)
ma-badiliko
(suddenly light)

kati ya giza (out of the darkness)
ghafla mwangaza (suddenly brightness)
ma-badiliko (everything changes)
giza na miti (darkness and trees)
kati ya giza (out of the darkness)
ma-badiliko (suddenly light)
