lyrics
CHORUS
For we are timeless, boundless…we are far, we are near.
We are alive beyond the poison of fear
We are all stronger when we are open and true
You with me, me with you.
VERSE - CHANT
I am alive in the 21st century, everyone said to me
Ooh, child, you may be unlucky to be born now, but be calm,
child. Many things are wrong, child, so try to get along, put your head
down…. watch out for the bully! Oh!
They say I’m just a girl, just a boy, don’t play with that toy!
But I come to know what I love more than what I hate
Do not negotiate who I am, who I love, what I’m made of…
And if you say you hate me that’s all you, not me
I’m sorry someone lied and told you what you couldn’t be.
Have they never seen a rainbow? So many colors in a rainbow.
Have they never seen a rainbow? They don’t know… They don’t know…
CHORUS
For we are timeless, boundless…we are far, we are near.
We are alive beyond the poison of fear
We are all stronger when we are open and true
You with me, me with you.
VERSE 2
I came to you, my guardian angels
With hope that you would see all of me
When I was shunned away to darkness
And I yearned for chosen family.
I found myself through community
Bloomed into a glorious me
I stand on the shoulders of my elders
Who fought so I could live to be free
We need every color in the rainbow
BRIDGE
Who we are is art!
CHORUS
For we are timeless, boundless…we are far, we are near.
We are alive beyond the poison of fear
We are all stronger when we are open and true
You with me, me with you.

Baaba Maal's voice is extraordinary, pleading, sweet and fierce. I'm lucky I had the honor of meeting him at a festival, and got to tell him how much this beautiful album meant to me. Moira Smiley
