Prodigal Funk |
| Ooowee, who to believe? |
| Father’s turned into a child |
| Oh Lord have mercy on me |
| Oh please look through my eyes |
| Look through my eyes, it’s no surprise |
| Oh why do they treat you badly? |
| When you sleep slaves know they’re free |
| Your pain is killing me |
| Your shadow weeps in my room |
| Weeps in my room, you aged too soon |
| And now? |
| It’s the prodigal funk |
| No-one knows where it’s come from |
| One wish one last fools wish |
| Please show the blinded road, the blinded road |
| And then I’ll go |
| Ooowe, who to believe? |
| Mothers turned into fear |
| Oh Lord have mercy on me |
| Tell feeling to pull us near, to pull us near |
| I promise I won’t compare |
| And now? |
| A strangers at my door |
| Offering me money to say some more |
| Should I take the gold and run? |
| Or should I play the prodigal funk, the prodigal funk |
| See me gone |
| Upon your crown of beautiful white hair |
| I cried on |
| My tears flowed where flowers don’t dare |
| To lie on or die on |
| Because they know that |
| Wherever the thruth is born |
| The day will come |
| Some say that black is despair |
| But you shine on |
| Some say Africa’s going nowhere |
| You proved them wrong, them wrong |
| Cos they know wherever the truth is born |
| The day will come, the day will come, the day will come |
