Swing Low Sweet Chariot

One way I know this afrocentric music rather than a eurocentric mere performance piece is longing for a sweet and swinging chariot, rather than a messiah white and male. I know this is a cooperative-felt spirit, and not so much a competition, because of how word choices and round rhythms combine to pitch longing free safe home. A freestyle journey to a rich robust and multicultured freedom of tribes long living loving Earth's peace paradise. A paradise western civilization has not sung or danced, out loudly joyed about for far too long without a warm cooperative song Swinging low and high in sweetly waving gold ruled and ratioed traveler's chariot, Coming and going racing forth and back to carry us in and out of home To freedom's too long lost, stolen, kidnapped while we were dreaming, singing and dancing with another day dreaming nights of disembodied free, Anxiously anticipating, weary and yet warmly welcoming.
