Beggarman 05:50
Beggarman, give me your heart, Tell me your desire. I’ll make you rich, and dress you in silk, To lie by the fire. Lonely man, look in my eyes, Tell me all your dreams. You’ll have a girl with curls in her hair To sing you off to sleep Sell you soul, sell you soul to me Sell you soul, I will set you free Mighty King give me your hand Your future will be told I’ll give you friends who love your heart More than your fame and gold Old man, lay down your head Tell me all your stories I’ll make you young, to run in the rain Death is just a doorway Sell your soul, sell your soul to me Sell your soul, I will set you free She kissed the beggar and the lonely man She stole their sould and never came back She kissed the king and the old man And fled into the fire Sell your soul, sell your soul to me Sell your soul, I will set you free

Some men say that girls do not need to read, Or go to school, they’re born to breed. Some men burn the books in Timbuktu, But in the end burn people too. The water’s rising, People shouting To be free. Wind is howling, People screaming (to be ) free. Some men cut the music-makers down, And Bamako is a silent town. Some men say their faith is a higher law, And kill and rob, for a merciful god. The water’s rising, People shouting, Wind is howling, People screaming… Oh Mali, Oh Mali, La musique ets la paix. Oh Mali, Oh Mali, Le memoire de société. Does Tomani Diabaté play the devils music? Does Vieux Farka Touré play the devils music? Does Fatoumata Diarawa play the devils music? Does Bassekou Kouyaté play the devils music? Does Abdullah Ag Limida play the devils music? Do Amadou and Miriam play the devils music? Oh Mali, Oh Mali, La musique ets la paix, Oh Mali, Oh Mali, Le memoire de société, Oh Mali, Oh Mali, La musique est la paix, Oh Mali, Oh Mali Son histoire, son couer et son verité

England 03:27
England, England What happened to your heart? England, England Have you forgotten what it’s like to starve? England, England Can’t you hear the bells? England, England Damn your quality of life to hell. While in the news, people flee the flames of a war While you lock down your windows and your doors But you’d rather it was their life than yours Oh, England. While in the news, people flee the flames of a war While you lock down your windows and your doors But you’d rather it was their life than yours Oh, England.

Home 07:54
Like moss on a stone, A place where you’re never alone, A place, A place that you call home, But what really is it? This Eden of forgotten time, Is it in my mother’s arms? Or in my childhood back yard? Hair draped so gracefully across a sleeping face, Or the blissful void of her warm embrace. I don’t need nobody, I don’t need no place to be, Because home is me. So let the beat of the drum, Free your mind, Let it take you, To that place inside, And when you are there, You will find, That you were, Home all the time. Home, is where I want to be ‘Coz I’m scared to face the world alone, But if you ask yourself it must be said, That home’s a place inside your head Candles lit on a Friday night, Surrounded by my tribe, A soft voice whispers in the night saying, Everything’s gonna be alright, But when my head gets turned around, And I can’t tell up from down, I don’t need nobody, I don’t need no place to be, Because home is me. So let the beat of the drum, free your mind, Let it take you, To that place inside, And when you are there, You will find, That you were, You were Home all the time.
