Song Writing*: I Ka Barra by Habib Koite

Song Writing*: I Ka Barra by Habib Koite

I am on an empty street

Dancing

Just dancing away

I’m not sure what I am doing

Or who may be watching me from their houses

Wondering if my mind has been ubducted

From who knows what

I just dance

And let the rhythem of my heart

Lead the way

I’m not sure what will come tomorrow

Or how I will deal with the problems of today

But right now

I am just dancing

Spinning

Running away from my life

And into my fantisies

Where there is no work

No responsibilities

Where I can just dance free

And sing my heart out

With my energy growing stronger and stronger

Instead of the other way around

I wish for a day

When we can all join together

And just dance the day away

And get along

Not worrying about the differences we all have

But instead just celebrating

What we all make up

A community

A world

A beautiful painting

That we can all make

Together
