[male
vocals] (
The
guitar
plays
a
slow,
melancholic,
beautiful
Soukous
arpeggio.
The
bass
rolls
softly
in
a
warm,
deep
groove.
A
soft
voice
speaks
gently
over
the
music)
Mbote
na
bayebi
yo...
Listen
to
my
heartbeat.
We
are
one
blood,
one
family.
Why
do
we
fight
when
the
road
is
long?
Come
close,
my
brother.
Come
rest,
my
sister.
The
sun
goes
down
on
our
tired
feet
We
walk
the
same
dust
of
this
long
street
I
look
at
your
eyes
and
I
see
my
own
In
this
big
world,
we
are
never
alone
I
remember
the
laughter
under
the
tree
When
the
days
were
bright
and
we
were
so
free
Why
let
the
shadows
cloud
up
the
light?
Why
do
we
struggle
deep
in
the
night?
Oh,
we
are
the
branches
of
the
same
tall
tree
Connected
by
love
for
the
world
to
see
One
blood,
one
family,
forever
we
stand
Walking
together
hand
in
hand
Let
the
music
wash
away
the
pain
Like
the
cooling
scent
of
the
summer
rain
We
are
one
blood,
one
family,
one
soul
Together
we
heal,
together
we
are
whole
Distance
may
grow
like
a
river
so
wide
But
your
spirit
stays
always
by
my
side
I
speak
your
name
when
the
wind
starts
to
blow
Watching
the
steady
fire
start
to
glow
We
build
our
bridges
with
words
that
are
kind
Leaving
the
anger
and
sorrow
behind
Brother
to
brother,
and
sister
to
friend
This
is
a
circle
that
never
will
end
Oh,
we
are
the
branches
of
the
same
tall
tree
Connected
by
love
for
the
world
to
see
One
blood,
one
family,
forever
we
stand
Walking
together
hand
in
hand
Let
the
music
wash
away
the
pain
Like
the
cooling
scent
of
the
summer
rain
We
are
one
blood,
one
family,
one
soul
Together
we
heal,
together
we
are
whole
Listen
to
the
rhythm,
the
pulse
of
the
earth
It
speaks
of
our
value,
it
speaks
of
our
worth
No
wall
is
too
high,
no
mountain
too
steep
When
we
have
promises
that
we
must
keep
Lean
on
my
shoulder
when
your
heart
is
weak
I
am
the
comfort
that
you
always
seek
So
raise
up
your
glass
to
the
life
we
have
known
To
all
of
the
seeds
of
kindness
we’
ve
sown
It’
s
not
just
the
blood
flowing
through
every
vein
It’
s
the
love
that
remains
through
the
loss
and
the
gain
We
rise
with
the
morning,
we
rest
with
the
stars
Healing
our
spirits
and
hiding
our
scars
I
love
you
my
people,
I
love
you
my
kin
Let
the
new
chapter
of
grace
now
begin
Oh,
we
are
the
branches
of
the
same
tall
tree
Connected
by
love
for
the
world
to
see
One
blood,
one
family,
forever
we
stand
Walking
together
hand
in
hand
Let
the
music
wash
away
the
pain
Like
the
cooling
scent
of
the
summer
rain
We
are
one
blood,
one
family,
one
soul
Together
we
heal,
together
we
are
whole
We
are
one...
one
blood...
Just
rest
your
heart,
my
sister.
Come
close,
my
brother.
The
road
is
long,
but
we
walk
it
together.
One
family,
one
heart,
one
love. (
The
guitar
fades
out
with
a
delicate
melodic
trill)
