[Intro - Humming & Hand Drums] Mmm oh ya, mmm oh ya [Verse 1] Morning light on an open road Guitar in the back, heavy load feels light Footsteps talking to the ground below Every stone knows my name tonight [Chorus] Dust on my feet, sun in my eyes Where the river bends, where the spirit lies Hand drum beating like a second heart Oh mama, I'm coming home from far [Verse 2] Baobab shadow let me rest awhile Children laughing in a language I don't know But their smile tells me where I am No map needed when the wind blows [Chorus - Bigger, with harmonies] Dust on my feet, sun in my eyes Where the river bends, where the spirit lies Hand drum beating like a second heart Oh mama, I'm coming home from far [Bridge - Call & Response, Swahili whisper] Niko njiani, niko njiani Nafuu ya safari No hurry, no hurry The road will carry me [Soft Outro - Guitar only] Oye, oye, oye mama Keep the fire warm...
