Burkina Allstars Lyrics

I saw no lion but I know it was there.
We drank their flag and it made a difference.
We jammed on Marley and of course did not care.
3000 Miles but we kept no distance.

No police warnings so the drums weren’t through
Respect due to all a them blisters.
Excuse me Sir but can I walk in your shoes.
I take you home, you can marry my sister.

And just like the stars at night
Shining their grandest imperial light
They don’t need words
To tell us their beautiful story.

Tres Tres cool and we sure love your sound
But don’t start throwin up ‘pon sacred ground.
Remember the woman
Steppin’ up from the crowd
Stickin money just like with King Sunny.

Take me home
Please Take me away from here
My brother needs intensive care Please let this plane take off
I’ve got stories
For now he don’t want to hear
And there so many to share

But just like the stars at night
Shining their glorious imperial lights
They don’t need words
To tell us their beautiful story

Take me home
On this last plane outta here
Please let us take off
Or I’ll fly myself
I’ve got stories for grandma’s listening ear
All drenched in my love

But just like the stars at night
Shining their grandest imperial light
They don’t need words
To tell us their beautiful story

The man in the moon smiles bright
He’s our host and the stadium light
And don’t need words
To let them all shine in full glory
To let the people shine
