lyrics

The parting words of the man in temple to me
‌ was
‌Fasting ,meditation,
‌ ,prayer
‌isn't enough
‌Action is needed
‌Faith without Action is Death
‌he stated
‌He spoke to me about Fire
‌He said
‌Fire destroys but it also purifies

Fire destroys but it also purifies
‌ so we can create something new
‌We need
‌ a spiritual Fire
‌A revolutionary Fire
‌As part of our evolution &
‌ journey to reach higher
‌ To reach higher
Because this is not about what we see with our eyes


We use the fire to warm up the African drum
‌Tightening the skin with heat
‌So we can tune it
‌Then we play it
‌to accompany
‌Liberation words
‌libations
‌ we say
‌To guide us on our way


Remember
‌We had
‌ and have to power to be dreamers
‌In our traditions we had the special ones called dreamers
‌Kings and Queens would call upon these dreamers to dream victory for them
‌Imagination is our special gift
‌And if necessary we must
‌Pass through fire to reclaim this!
