Knowledge Of Beauty |
I’ve often thought about |
The men where I came from |
And times ago |
Their sons, these days, are found |
In US and Britannia care |
And as I think about |
In my mother’s eyes I look and see the story there |
It’s a knowledge of beauty in these days rare |
Go west, go west young man |
West of hollow words and all that lies there |
Go west, I’II sing an air |
For all the previous |
Wild black curly hair |
For what use is anything |
If I don’t have the wisdom and warmth |
Of my past generations |
If I need strength |
To take bad on |
I just look back to |
Where I came from |
I look back where I came from |
I’ve had respect, money and love |
I’ve denied my beautiful heritage |
Gone away from my roots and come back home again |
I gave away my individuality |
And listened to the «now» generation |
When really I’m not one of those |
But love has brought me closer to the truth and right now |
I couldn’t be any closer |
To love your father is a fulfilling thing |
My national pride is a personal pride |
