about

a love story featuring Tormenta Jobarteh on Kora

lyrics

World Citizens

I came from a land far far away,

when I met you I thought I might stay,

for a week, for a month and see you every day.
I wanna jump, I wanna sing,
I wanna do that thing,

You make me feel like an eagle on the wing I'm riding on the wind, all across the sky
High
My words are all mixed up, my words are jumbled,
When you're with me, I only feel humbled

to be with a soul as beautiful as you.

Your skin is black, my skin is white
no matter cuz we're totally tight

I want to hold you in my arms and never let you go.
Hold you

We said we'd be together, we'll be a team

go to my place in summer, that would be a dream

to your paradise where the sun shines all the time

We filled out the papers, we paid the fees,

We jumped through the hoops and climbed up the trees
Now they want to tell me I can't be with my man?
No!

I miss you so much I think I'm gonna cry

Loving you was like eating cherry pie

I wonder if I'll ever be with you again...


I can buy a ticket to anywhere I want to go

Hop a plane or a train or a bike and go slow
but an African ain't allowed to see the world at all.
It's Hard.
