I wanna walk like the African women, I wanna talk in sing-song

Behind the myth there is the effort of a rhythm, behind the rhythm a desire to belong

One mask, one choice, my heart, your voice

Out of step with the rest of the world we found a rhythm in the rhyme between me and you

 

I wanna step out of the shade of a place that’s half aware but never truly wakes

Only then for a moment of pleasure, one eye on my last mistake

I know, there is, more to love than this

Effortless and clever, I’m yours, and yours forever

 

Never to be severed, I’m yours forever

 

I know courageous stranger places, every movement forward must be right

If there’s to be an evolution of the races, I wish I may, I know I might

Exist and entwined, proceed to combine

Each, more mobile and defined

The process is the purpose, this is why my love is blind

 

I wanna walk like the African women, I wanna talk in sing-song

Behind the myth there is the effort of a rhythm,

Behind the rhythm a desire to belong

One mask, one choice, my heart, your voice

Work so well together, I’m yours, forever

 

Devoted and surrendered, I’m yours, and yours, and yours forever

Firmly fit together, I’m yours, your’s forever

Forever, yours, and yours, forever

Worthy and unweathered, I’m yours
