Dust & Gold (Reprise)

Lyrics

Every rhythm now lives inside my chest Every instrument has left its print From guembri bass to kora gold The continent wrote itself in sound Afro Nova the continent runs through my veins Afro Nova the continent runs through my veins Through my veins Through my veins The desert gave me its silence The jungle gave me its voice The ocean gave me its horizon The savanna gave me its choice The journey began with a bass note in a medina And ends with the same note echoing from a different shore Afro Nova the continent glows from inside Afro Nova the continent glows from inside Glows from inside Glows from inside From Marrakech the guembri hums From Kora Sunset the strings catch fire From the Serengeti the nyatiti sighs And Kilimanjaro lifts the light up higher I close my eyes and hear them all Twenty instruments in twenty lands The continent has given everything And asks for nothing but these open hands
