Kele Okereke Yemaya Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a dream, I hear her laughter
Like waves upon the shore
It pulls me further out than I should go
Underneath the asphalt stirring
Bloodstream of the earth
Break your holy waters over us

[Chorus]
Oh Yemaya, I'm clear
Oh Yemaya, I'm listening
Oh Yemaya, I'm clear
Oh Yemaya, I'm listening

[Verse 2]
It starts first at the centre flowing It knows just where to go
Like the newborn swimming in a stream
Through the rusted pipelines sprawling
Sunken concrete ruin
Where the delta meets the ocean floor

[Chorus]
Oh Yemaya, I'm clear
Oh Yemaya, I'm listening to you
Oh Yemaya, I'm clear
Oh Yemaya, I'm listening to you, ooh
