Still waters


Troubled still waters, redefined tomorrows Would the lord lay me down nest to the bubbling? Stony heart springs, tears making a fountain I got a dream; to sail oceans Tell my tales, tales of the black people Tales of earth from a different place Talks of heroes with different names Mansa, Soyinka, Haile Selassie Heroes of words, heroes of deeds Heroes of heroes, heroes that live Heroes that died, heroes that breathe Heroes of our time, heroes in me.
