When Rivers Cry - Somi/Common (凡夫俗子)[00:00:00]
Written by:Toru Dodo/Lonnie Rashid Lynn/Cobhams Asuquo/Laura Audrey Kabasomi Kakoma[00:00:01]
Feet crushing plastic[00:01:19]
Moving windows tossing bottles dry[00:01:21]
I can't get past it[00:01:25]
Waste and dust still choking road and sky[00:01:26]
The trees remember days of plenty[00:01:30]
Before rivers cried[00:01:33]
Now they cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh[00:01:37]
They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh[00:01:42]
They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh[00:01:47]
They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh[00:01:53]
Winds carry sorrow[00:02:20]
While forgetful dreamers pass us by[00:02:22]
Temperatures rising[00:02:25]
No one stopping just to wonder why[00:02:27]
Old men recall the kindness of the sun[00:02:31]
Before the rivers cried[00:02:34]
Now[00:02:37]
They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh[00:02:38]
They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh[00:02:43]
They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh[00:02:48]
They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh oh[00:02:53]
The rivers tell a story of[00:02:59]
God's reign and glory[00:03:01]
Pay homage to the land of those that came before me[00:03:02]
The land of the mother and the first man discovered[00:03:05]
Look overseas and see waters that are troubled[00:03:07]
The bridge somewhere in the truth and the kids[00:03:10]
Somewhere in the spirit of the kids the truth lives[00:03:12]
I died many times many lives just to live again[00:03:15]
Contemplating on where my life and river blends[00:03:18]
I was ignorant to the earth and what we did to it[00:03:21]
Never seek to find yeah I hid from it[00:03:24]
So when the rivers cried I never felt the sentiment[00:03:26]
Until the hurricanes that's when I caught wind of it[00:03:29]
My paps said the hurricanes was the ancestors[00:03:31]
Reminding us of who we are and our transgressions[00:03:34]
Lessons of the mother and the waves[00:03:37]
I'm the sun reflecting the earth these days[00:03:39]
Green belts tug at the necks and bellies[00:03:42]
Of our beasts and times[00:03:45]
Shortsighted leaders[00:03:47]
Flush with irony and oil mines[00:03:49]
Eroding shorelines lap at memory[00:03:52]
While the rivers cry[00:03:55]
Now[00:03:59]
They cry oh oh oh oh oh oh[00:03:59]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh[00:04:05]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh[00:04:10]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh[00:04:16]
