Whose voice was it, that awaken the inside of me, day break
Like a spiritual calling, back to my instinct hear loud
What words are said, to knock, knock, on my sleepy hearts
What language like tongues, my heart shares with my head
It sends me back to my instinct call, make peace not war
I am basic again, I am sophisticated, I am light as a feather
I am a reaction to a sound I heard from the south
Africa, the corner stone, the awakening call, I am glory
It is that sound, like the birds chatter in the morning to wake
My mind's rest, and watch the golden glow of the morning sunrise
The sounds of beats add ons, only serves to accentuate the magic of life
I can not help, but nod my head, like a wall gecko
My shoulders, and legs follow, my soul dance
It is in a trance, I am in a trance, a happy place, a happy place
Heard someone say, rest in peace, to send shock waves
You never did tell me, how you got your angel wings
But before you went, you left me with the magic
Of sounds, of music, of life, of Africa
***But before you went, you left me with the magic
