[00:21.18]Joseph's face was black as night the pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
[00:31.80]
[00:33.23]His path was marked by the stars in the southern hemisphere
[00:40.16]And he walked his days under African skies
[00:44.28]
[00:46.40]This is the story of how we begin to remember
[00:50.08]
[00:53.14]This is the powerful pulsing of love in the veins
[00:57.07]
[00:59.50]After the dream of falling and calling your name out
[01:03.94]
[01:05.81]These are the roots of rythm and the roots of rythm and rain
[01:09.99]
[01:24.84]In early memory mission music was ringing around my nursury door
[01:35.70]
[01:37.19]I said take this child Lord from Tucson Arizona
[01:43.87]Give her the wings to fly from harm
[01:47.05]And she won't bother you no more
[01:50.11]
[01:51.23]This is the story of how we begin to remember
[01:54.79]
[01:57.60]This is the powerful pulsing of love in the veins
[02:01.34]
[02:03.96]After the dream of falling and calling your name out
[02:08.21]
[02:10.33]These are the roots of rythm and the roots of rythm and rain
[02:14.05]
[02:16.05]Chant-like duet with harmony:
[02:18.48]
[02:20.06]A-oom-ba-oom-ba-oom-ba-Oooooooooooooh
[02:39.72]
[02:42.21]Josephs face was as black as the night
[02:47.08]
[02:47.64]And the pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
[02:52.63]
[02:54.38]His path was marked by the stars in the southern hemisphere
[03:00.75]And he walked the length of his days under African skies
