about

Elias wrote these lyrics and melody over musical ideas supplied by Neil. The tune is Jig for John by Liz Knowles. The bàkks are partly traditional and partly composed by Lamine.

lyrics

I want to see people dancing in the streets
I want to see people dancing every night of the week
I want to see people making music, being proud of who they are
Proud of where they come from
I want to see people shaking hands with each other
No judgement at all
I want to see people listen to each other, really listen

Wey hey hey, we carry it on, we make it our own
Wey hey hey, we pass it on down, through generations

And everybody has something they can learn and something they can teach
Even the child who smiles shy in the doorway, she knows something you don’t know
Even the poor man you see on the corner rattling the remnants of his dreams
Even the wealthy man who sits in his mansion searching for something, searching for something

If you listen you will hear the sound
You might hear the sound of a friend you never know
If you listen you will hear the sound
You might hear the sound of revolution
If you listen you will hear the sound
You might hear the sound of a heart breaking open
If you listen you will hear the sound
You just might hear the sound of peace

Wey hey hey, we carry it on, we make it our own
Wey hey hey, we pass it on down, through generations
