Syd Kitchen - Settler
текст песни

My forefather
Came from across the sea
He came in a wooden boat
With sails
He had in his heart
A need to be free
Free of a motherland that was dying
And all my life I've been lost in his history
All my life I've felt so alone
Now here I am, you are, each in Africa
You are my brother, this is my home
I offer love
I ask redemption
I offer hope
I ask no question
I sing this loud
No hesitation
For a line is drawn
And a road is found
And a beacon shines
Light on the ground
There's a past that's dead
There's a future
Up ahead
My forefather
He sits inside my soul
I feel his pain and his anger
I hear him crying
See him tied to a pole
He can't go nowhere
But he's trying
And all my life I've lived with his madness
All my life I've known he was wrong
Now here I am, you are
Each in Africa
We are brothers, we both belong
I offer love
I ask redemption
I offer hope
I ask no question
I sing this loud
No hesitation
For a line is drawn
And a road is found
And a beacon shines
Light on the ground
There's a past that's dead
There's a future
Up ahead
I offer love
I ask redemption
I offer hope
I ask no question
I sing this loud
No hesitation
For a line is drawn
And a road is found
And a beacon shines
Light on the ground
There's a past that's dead
There's a future
Up ahead
