Said I'm dreaming (dreaming, dreaming) on a breezy night
When she comes to me, a daughter of the sea
In her eyes burn fire, smoke in her nostrils, yeah
And her belly button gushes out the fluid of life
What she says to me takes me by surprise
"Call the chosen ones, there's work to be done" (oh yeah)

Of what value is an African life to them?
Are we just a headline of horror and shame?
To feel my pain, you have to walk in my shoes
You'll have to wear my skin and babble in my tongue
People of the land, inheritors of pain
Let your vision rise and soar with the eagle

Said I'm dreaming (dreaming, dreaming) on another night
When she touches me, our mother of the waters
"I bring you laughter for the long days
And strength and faith to see you through the tunnel"
When the morning comes, reach to the sun
On the road again, reach for tomorrow
