Burkina Faso

I travelled up north, to Burkina Faso Down there I met my brethren from long, long ago And he tried to tell me things I really wanted to know But my mind was filled with mess-distress and pestilence, that's how it goes Funny how your mind can make you seek your brother Man how my mind was rich, with pride and doubt Know I read in Revelations one day (...) I'm still here crying Cause I, never forget way that I lost my brother No I never forget the day that my brothers lost their fathers Never forget the way how I cried like mother when she lost me the same way In this world there's hell to pay I'm not even sure when oh this pestilence will end I travelled up north, to alleviate my soul Funny how your brain slips and trips when you're So far from home But you're still in the same world You should really try and get to know A mind fought with mess-distress and depression Only grows old Funny how your mind can make you seek your brother Man how my mind was rich, with pride and doubt Know I read in Revelations one day (...) I'm still here crying Cause I, never forget way that I lost my brother No I never forget the day that my brothers lost their fathers Never forget the way how I cried like mother when she lost me the same way In this world there's hell to pay I'm not even sure when oh this pestilence will end Caught in the trenches of this life There's an emptiness that brings light to all of those who got nothing Caught in the trenches of this life There's an emptiness that brings light to all of those who've lost everything Funny how your mind can make you seek your brother Man how my mind was rich, with pride and doubt Know I read in Revelations one day (...) I'm still here crying Cause I, never forget way that I lost my brother No I never forget the day that my brothers lost their fathers Never forget the way how I cried like mother when she lost me the same way In this world there's hell to pay I'm not even sure when oh this pestilence will end End
