roy ayers, adrian younge and ali shaheed muhammad - african sounds lyrics

black and brown
these african sounds
tore the earth with a stroke of history
inspiring beauty and respect
well at best, are we being our best?
without a choice, we have the choice
to use our power through sound
to rebound against the hate
to circumvent the allusion
seeing through the misty shades of america

so we remove the spectacles
and look up into the stars
to find reflections of sound
and ask yourself; is my love for my people
only a drop in this ocean of time?
or is my love for my people a necessary state of mind?

and as we close our campus to [?]
let’s open our minds to correspond to this mother of time
look into the african sounds that reverberate throughout history
reminding us of the struggle, the pain, the colour of sound
the unifying rhythm, as our hearts beat to the sympathy of tunes
we are under the same moon
now light the path for us to love one another
even in the darkness of life
we gotta stick together, we gotta be better
so ask yourself; is my love for my people
only a drop in this ocean of time?
or is my love for my people a necessary state of mind?
by choice and by force, we are coloured by the african sun
