My Culture (Bridgeman/Catto/Jazz/Williams/Butler) Vocals: Maxi Jazz (UK) / Robbie Williams (UK)
Robbie Williams Hello dad – remember me, I’m the man you thought I’d never be I’m the boy who you reduced to tears, Dad I been lonely for 27 years Yeah that’s right – my names Rob, I’m the one who landed the popstars job I’m the one who you told look don’t touch I’m the kid who wouldn’t amount to much
I believe in the senses sight and sound I have always been too loud Won’t you help me drown it out
I’m what I feel And what I’m feeling is surreal I’m a mass of spinning wheels Always digging in my heels
…now I’ve got the faith to…

The Way You Dream Bridgeman/Catto /Stipe Vocals: Asha Bhosle (India) / Whiri Mako Black (New Zealand / Micheal Stripe (USA)
Spoken word: Only Silence remains because I have to listen to him, I have to listen to the silence. I have to experience him.
Fall over myself don’t mean to interupt I was miles away Things I forgot are the footstools of God. That’s how I behaved I frighten myself and folded my hand as you talked to god. I love the way you dream. (x9)
Even my most base complaint my sweet, my aims were lower And even though all my restraint my sweet my aim was clumsy. And even if there’s only one thing I want for you…..I want for you.
I love the way you dream (x3) I love, love the way you dream I love the way you love the way Even if there’s only one thing I want for you, I want for you… I love the way you love the way you dream, one for me one for you, one for me, one for you...

Ma Africa (Bridgeman/Catto/Mahotella Queens/Ulali) Vocals: Mahotella Queens (S.Africa) / Ulali (USA)
Africa land for preachers gold Land for everybody – young and old The place that holds for some bright future, but for others the future tend to torture Maaaaaa Africa.
What went wrong with your brains? You kill each other you destroy human dignity People of Africa lets stand together and make it the land of hope!
I want to tell everybody about myself. |
Braided Hair (Bridgeman/Catto/Speech/Cherry/Ulali) Vocals: Speech (USA) / Ulali (USA) Additional Vocals: Neneh Cherry (UK)
From the same dirt from the heels of my ancestors, The naked rose in the fields where the pain festered. I wonder where the hole came from in the beats of my heart made me yearn for the drum
It’s the same place where the crosses burn The same place where the loss was earned It's the place where the floss was yearned Gold teeth, that bling, ice on the ring, baby sugar, YO.
We all got things that hang on our back Things that make us cool things that make us wack, Things that make us mad, things we wish we never had …done But they’re just of things that make us real Not the maps that guide where we go from here The road twists in braids like hair, until we all get there .
I like that I don't know some mysteries, Ancient things and beginnings Excited about the day when I don’t have to hear all the theories, My scalp needs some grease.
In the same place where the cross is burned The same place where the loss was earned The only way we all can learn is if we have these braids with the twist and turns.
So we all got things that hang on our back Things that make us cool things that make us wack, Things that make us mad, things we wish we never had …done But the just of things that make us real Not the maps that guide where we go from here The road twists in braids like hair, until we all get there .
Neneh Cherry Walking in the race of life, looking for my own pace. always wanted to, but I have too, Sometimes feeling like I've bitten off much more than I can chew. But the wind goes through my hair and lifts me up with ease, Not a crease, hair full of grease no embracing me. It's you I see. I am you, and you are me, I see, yeah
Chant
I am you, and you are me, I see, yeah
We might survive as brothers Or perish here as fools So place your bets, don't bet too soon Yeah you might find me in another feels like someone you once knew You know that face, yeah we all do
(braided hair, braided braid hair)
We might survive as brothers Or perish here as fools So place your bets, don't bet too soon Yeah you might find me in another feels like someone you once knew You know that face, yeah we all do
(braided hair, braided braid hair)
We might survive as brothers Or perish here as fools So place your bets, don't bet too soon Yeah you might find me in another feels like someone you once knew You know that face, yeah we all do

Passion (Bridgeman/Catto/Franti) Vocals: Baligashma Xylopphone Group (Uganda) / Vocalists from Kayelitsha (S. Africa)
Last night I went to sleep as a child. Only to wake up this morning to find I was a man. In my hands I discovered the tools and the rage of my father, And in my heart I found the love and fears of our mother. Confrontation between in the night and day.
The land of the sea. The fine, the air the scared and the profound. The holy and the unholy, the focused and the miss directed. The bullet and the flesh. The mind and the spirit and the sound when you hear it. The presser and the resistor, the brother and the sister.
We are not walking with the ghosts of the dead. We are alive with the spirits of our passion.

Daphne (Bridgeman/Catto/Mahotella Queens/Reader) Vocals: Eddi Reader (UK) / Mahotella Queens (S. Africa) / Pops Mohamed (S. Africa) / Revetti Sakalkar (India) / Yeye (Ghana)
Spoken words: Music is to me proof of the existence of god, it is so extraordinarily full of magic and in tough times of my life I can listen to music and it makes such a difference.
Come play a while, come dance and sing, come fall and raise, Become kings and queens, for all we are is beautiful. You and me are the only ones.
Come play a while, come dance and sing, come fall and raise, Become kings and queens, for all we are is beautiful. You and me are the only ones.

All Alone (Bridgeman/Catto/Mahotella Queens) Vocals: Duncan and the Mahotella Queens (S. Africa)
If you stay or if you go, I won’t try, I won’t hope, Cause if you stay, or if you go, if you stay, or if you go, I won’t try, I won’t hope. Cause if you stay or if you go, I won’t try and I won’t hide…. Cause if you stay.
Spoken words: Despair, depression, feeling abandoned, lonely, worthless, frustrated, worried, doubting, vulnerable, forgetful, loosing self confidence, heavy, irritable, fear of the future, obsessed with possessions, meaningless, friendliness, fear of being penny less, no one to touch, loss of physiological power because there is change a foot.
Be with the change and at the same moment cultivate enquinimaty, spaciousness, emptiness, awareness and clarity may it be so.

Racing Away (Bridgeman/Catto/Thompson/Philips/Andy) Vocals: Kaolin Thompson (S. Africa) / Grant Lee Philips (USA) / Horace Andy (UK)
Spoken words: TV is enough, is providing artificial friends and relatives to lonely people, What it is, is, recurrent families, same friends and relatives come back week after week after week after week, And they are wittier and they are better looking and much more interesting and they are richer than your real friends and relatives
Where is the love from that where’s it gone? Where is the love for humanity? Where’s it gone? The love for the children, respect for the elders, where’s it gone? Where’s it gone?
I wanna know, I wanna know , I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know when will they get it right?
Rest in the city praise for the nightfall Rain washed my memory Time climb my great wall Please don’t desert me Not in the forest Grace where I trespass Calling my goddess
Where is the love from that where’s it gone? Where is the love for humanity? Where’s it gone?
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
Sleep my grandfather Dream of great quiet Merely a flash between Words and blue silence Gentle this hour Great is the highway Brave are these cowards Racing racing racing racing away Racing away

Ta Moko (Bridgeman/Catto/Black) Vocals: Whirimako Black (Auckland, New Zealand) Duduk: Levon Minassien (Marseilles, Frances)
Whirimako Black sang through her book of traditional poetry and prayer.
"The song expresses feelings of grief, anger and empowerment, and is based on murder, rape and plunder that happened to a particular tribe. It's such a powerful song it lets me get my voice into the kind of areas that wouldn't be possible singing one of today's songs. It's gut-wrenching, deeply emotional stuff, all about acknowledging the pain that goes with the fight for self determination, and the fact that we've survived that pain. I think every person feels that to some extent, not just indigenous people but everyone." (Whirimako Black)
