PSALM - lyrics
Take me to the healing waters, float me on your river, let me feel your paradise, the pulsing in my veins.
Take me to the healing waters, rock me in your waves, there I’ll find what I had lost, my love, my breath, my rage.
Refrain:
For if you are my universe, my breath, my spirit, truth, then I will sing this song again, and know that it is you.
You make my willingness to live stronger than despair and hold me tightly through the night with whispers in the air.
(Refrain)

AFRICA, INC. - lyrics
Welcome to Zimbabwe, Mr. Jones, our new CEO. I hear stocks are up on The Congo. The brokers are betting on Angola, think it’s ten to one, they’ve just downsized all to hell.
Nigeria’s new management has done wonders, even poverty is down. Cuz only citizens count for poor, and you’re not a citizen ‘less you punch the clock on time.
The children whisper, through the bars the prophets see, the bosses tremble when the tables start to turn!
Refrain:
The Motherland cries out, and hear the people shout, ‘Let the wind blow, let the children grow!” With every act of love, with every drop of blood, towers crumble, with voices singing ‘Freedom Now’!
So strange to get used to, where’s the flag, where’s the ballot box, what could be the use for the shackles? Well, my friend, at least you have a job, and the company rewards you in the end with our logo on your gravestone.
The children whisper, through the bars the prophets see, the bosses tremble when the tables overturn!
(Refrain)
(Refrain)
