lyrics

If the sky were to fall
I’d be the first to call
Some of us are brave

Who’s gonna feel my pain
Who’s gonna say my name
Ain't no choice but to be brave
Peace and love to the ones who give praise
Take a bow as the sun hits the face
See me now, golden hour
And to those who fear leads them to hate
What a pity to be locked in a place
You see me now
I’ll show you how

I’ll show you how
I’ll show you how
I’ll show you how
I’ll show you how

Peace and love to the ones who give praise
Take a bow as the light hits the face
See me now, I‘m loud and proud
And to those who fear leads them to hate
What a pity to be locked in that place, I know
You see me though
Cause the breeze don’t blow cause you want it
And the sun gon’ shine regardless
I'm here to stay
I'm here to stay

All we want is to be ourselves
And shine our light with no problems
We don't want problems

I do believe that the power in me
Frightens you, that's your problem
That's your problem

I say the darker the berry, the sweeter the fruit
The kinkier the hair the deeper the roots
Bow down when the queendom comes
Take note when we speak our tongues
Darker the berry the sweeter the fruit
Give her her crown when she walks in the room
We are the first ones
We are light of the sun

All we want is to be ourselves
And shine our light with no problems
We don't want problems

I do believe that the power in me
Frightens you, that's your problem
That's your problem

Black like the earth to the world we gave birth
Hair to the sky so much cool in our stride
I’ll show you how
I’ll show you how

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
