Rain drops on my window
Singing melodies of distant memory echoing sounds
I sing along to it, it rains down here in Georgia
And it rains all around the world
Each line drawn, codes
Unraveling messages in a bottle
The rain keeps me grounded
It allows thoughts to digest
We have been going for far too long
Far too long now on cross roads
Each line drawn out to hypnotize me
Into a world I have long forgotten about
It rains down here in Accra
And I feel the age in time we have lost
I am back now on your streets again
Almost as a foreigner to find my way again
You have changed in so many ways
Guess I have too, in so many ways
I have not yet visited my pilgrim home
Down in Dansoman where memories were first made
In my safe place my mind always takes me there
I have not yet visited home Datus so close by
Last I did it was walled like a prison vaulted entombed
So different from how I knew it to be, free as before
Strange, with strangers living there at present
I have not yet visited home, last I did I got lost
It rains here in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
That was some old country and western song
Drawing nostalgic emotions out of me
Played on XYZ fm, dial on the end tune
This is me, sitting in a traffic jam in Accra slow
Each light flash on my window takes me there and back
It rains here in Accra, it rains all around the world
It rains in Georgia too, it rains in Georgia too
I like this.....
