Temple |
| I lost my city in the light of day |
| Thick smoke, helicopter blades |
| Heaven and earth have never moved so fast |
| You’ll never know the fear your mama has |
| I know your father can’t call anymore |
| He never meant to be a man of war |
| But we found freedom what will you do now |
| Bury the burden baby make us proud |
| I lost my city in the light of day |
| Thick smoke, helicopter blades |
| Why would I bother to remember when |
| Our people baby die and live again |
| Look at this one |
| I want you to see |
| Fashion was high |
| My hair was so long |
| This was maybe '73 |
| You know I have been adored by good and kind men |
| They sent their love with poetry |
| By day I gave grand speeches |
| At night, like you |
| We danced to be free |
| I lost my city in the prime of my time |
| Mud silk and the dust of life |
| I was a diamond of the embassy |
| It doesn’t matter what I meant to be |
| Girl you come from the fortunate ones |
| Gold sky and a first born son |
| We don’t have words for the way you have grown |
| We’ll always feed you |
| You can always come home |
| (Why would a million dare sink in the sea?) |
| (Why would a million dare sink in the sea?) |
| (Why would a million dare sink in the sea?) |
| (Why would a million dare sink in the sea?) |
| I don’t want to say anymore |
| But I have been here before |
| I don’t want to say anymore |
| Find what you need |
| I don’t want to say anymore |
| But I have been here before |
| I have earned this sorrow |
| Mine to keep |
| I lost my city in the light of day |
| Thick smoke, helicopter blades |
| Why would I bother to remember when |
| Our people baby die and live again |
| I lost my city in the light of day |
| Thick smoke, helicopter blades |
| Heaven and earth have never moved so fast |
| You’ll never know the fear your mama has |
| I know your father can’t call anymore |
| He never meant to be a man of war |
| But we found freedom what will you do now |
| Bury the burden baby make us proud |
