I Can Hear My Colours Singing
I can hear my colours singing
Through my culture deep within
Feel a peaceful sense of beauty
For I am brother to the wind
I thought that I had lost my dreaming
I thought that I had lost my way
I thought that I had lost my people
All gone astray
But then I heard the sound of talking
I sat round talking every day
And in the words that I was talking
I heard a black man, a black woman, black man, a black woman, say
I can hear my colours singing
Through my culture deep within
Feel a peaceful sense of beauty
For I am brother to the wind
I thought that I had lost my talking
I thought that I had lost my mind
But then I heard it all around me
Flowing on the wind
The wind that sounds like colours singing
A spirit moving in the sky
And in the words that I was singing
I heard a black man, a black woman, black man, a black woman, say
I can hear my colours singing
Through my culture deep within
Feel a peaceful sense of beauty
For I am brother to the wind
Through my culture deep within
Feel a peaceful sense of beauty
For I am brother to the wind
I thought that I had lost my dreaming
I thought that I had lost my way
I thought that I had lost my people
All gone astray
But then I heard the sound of talking
I sat round talking every day
And in the words that I was talking
I heard a black man, a black woman, black man, a black woman, say
I can hear my colours singing
Through my culture deep within
Feel a peaceful sense of beauty
For I am brother to the wind
I thought that I had lost my talking
I thought that I had lost my mind
But then I heard it all around me
Flowing on the wind
The wind that sounds like colours singing
A spirit moving in the sky
And in the words that I was singing
I heard a black man, a black woman, black man, a black woman, say
I can hear my colours singing
Through my culture deep within
Feel a peaceful sense of beauty
For I am brother to the wind
