Journey Lyrics

    Written by: das, pandit, savale, zaman


    Take the long train to bombay
    Duck as the tunnels came
    Tune in your crystal set
    You've won the freedom to forget
    You've won the freedom to forget

    Feeling good migrations
    Tuned in to the mother nation
    Taking her aim
    Changing your name

    Now we're nomads
    That stay in one place
    Not a country
    Not a face
    Standing out but still like ghosts
    Long-term guests
    Ungracious hosts
    Re-written history
    A sleepy slavery
    Those sweet sweet sweet machines
    Senfling, selling
    Good migrations
    Tuned in to the mother nation
    Taking her aim
    Rearranging the chains ....

    The nine year old boy who had wanted to be white
    Set out on the journey from loneliness to pride
    Hostile environments along the way
    A slowly changing landscape
    But a steady stream of consciousness rising
    A steady stream of consciousness rising

    This is the journey from loneliness to pride
    No longer any need to hide ....

    Struggle to live
    And we cry struggle to survive
    Struggla, struggla, struggla, struggla
    Just to stay alive
    In the jungle you either do or you die
    You got to be aware
    You got to have the jungle eye ....
