Sweet Mother

Sweet mother
 Sweet mother
 With the only calabash
 that doesn't coagulate the milk
 or making it sour
 even if it stays
 from morning to evening
 then evening to morning
 its still fresh and warm
 ready for consumption
 if it wasn't of age
 i will have asked
 just once

Cry the Beloved World

Cry the beloved  world
     Cry the beloved  world
     The sun pours down its rays
     To the lovely land that man can't enjoy it
     He knows only the fear of his heart

     Cry the beloved world
     For the unborn child who is the inheritor of our fear
     Sadness and fear rise up daily in the hearts of many

     Cry the beloved world     
     For the  families, tribes and countries that are broken
     Cry the youths for the laws and customs that are gone
