Life claimed to become more abundant In the dread of the night a language erupted It felt real and I lost my breath People lived together with peoples Here we are dancing naked within the search-lights Call me the unbelievable, let me believe Almost killed myself for carelessness Late nights had mercy on the merciful Here exists the unity bondage of love Man loved man and woman loved woman Different cultures, different religions Different ideologies crack for all understanding It feels good here but reminds me later Of the promise of Abraham, the faithful partner It was a nightmare but real story untold One people speaking one language of love I dare not define the environment in lack Shortfalls my expression of the formulae Expect more because the song is yours to sing The home of my dream in reality is home near Niger « return. |
