lyrics

TRANSATLANTIC RIVERS RUN
CURRENTS PUSHED US PAST THE SUN
MUSIC PULSED AND BEAT AND FLEW
THE MUSIC BLEEDS ETHIO BLUE

PENTATONIC DNA
FILLED OUR VEINS AND MADE US THIS WAY
MUSIC LIVED BETWEEN US TWO
IT’S POWER SWEET
ETHIO BLUE

AND THIS KIND OF HALLELUJAH JUMPS OUT OF ME
I SAY THANK YOU GOD FOR THE MUSIC
YOU KNOW IT CAME FROM SO MUCH LIFE
FROM CALLOUSED HANDS THAT PLAYED INSTRUMENTS WHEN THEY WERE DONE WITH THE SOIL FOR THE DAY

AND THE SHEPPARDS PLAYING FLUTE FOR THEIR ANIMALS
THE WOMEN WITH THEIR BANJOES
GIVING SUSTENANCE TO EACH OTHER WITH THEIR MELODIES

WE STILL HEAR YOU, WE STILL HEAR YOU
WE ARE LISTENING

BROWN SKIN LOVE, INCLUDING SCARS
CELL BY CELL DISTILLED FROM STARS
MUSIC ROSE AND BLOOMED AND GREW
AND NOW IT’S OURS
ETHIO BLUE
