about

We are going ... we are on our way to someday.

lyrics

We Are Going

We are going

We are going

We are going

On our way to someday.

We are going

We are going

We are going

On our way to someday.

Turned to the left,

There was nothing for me left.

I turned to the right,

Nothing was right.

I looked to the heights

I couldn’t even see the lights

I looked to the depths

I couldn’t find any rest.

I paid the price.

There were debts I didn’t owe.

I hope I rise,

For who will go?

I'm lonely and cold.

There is no one to know:

Lonely and cold

With clothes and robes.

We are going.

We are going.

We are going

On our way to someday.

We are going.

We are going.

We are going

On our way to someday.

Dabi, dabii

33b3beyeyie

33b3beyeyie

33b3beyeyie

Dabi, dabii

We are here,

Somewhere there.

We are there,

Somewhere here.

They say you must grow.

I say I don’t know.

They say you must know.

I say who even knows.

We are here

Somewhere there

We are there

Somewhere here

They say you must grow.

I say I don’t even know.

They say you must know.

I say who even knows?

I want to understand.

I can't get a hand.

I want to believe.

I've exhausted all belief.

I'm tired of wars.

And blood pour we ignore.

I'm tired of divisions,

Distinctions and confusion.

Listen:

Poverty clenched

My fingers in revenge.

I was killed inside then

And realized it was cold when

I sent them home then

Before I made time to know them.

I refuse to hold hands,

But I have hands to roll.

I'm lonely and cold,

But I have clothes and robes.

I have no one to hold,

But there were folks to know.

I have nothing to show

Of the show I did go.

So, before you name my crime

And slap my face with a fine,

Please commit yourself to time

In a cell next to mine.

Leave your judgement of me

On a tangent in line,

And let the truth

Speak with itself in mind:

Because only God knows why the thief at the cross-line

Will be in paradise sometime tonight.

We are going.

We are going.

We are going

On our way to someday.

We are going.

We are going.

We are going

On our way to someday.

about

Osekre New York, New York

"This Afro-indie band can’t be pinned to any one genre but instead transcends all, with lyrical and reflective beats. The band “turns local sounds global and brings global sounds local” with its clear African influence, but its sound goes beyond this, creating a universal funk that anyone would want to jam to.
