TESTO Searching For The Water Of Life

Did you remember me today
Or has my voice got swept away?

Just say my name
And then we'll break the chain
somehow it never reigns in Africa
I feel betrayed
By all the soldier games
Why aren't we all the same for God above?

Walking in to the desert
passing through the fire
Watching other children
looking at their smiles
Running to the heart beat
drumming on for miles
Searching for the water of life

Please turn me away
So we can dance again
Someday it all will change for Africa
Give me a face
I must not be erased
Why can't we celebrate like sacred doves?

Walking in to the desert
passing through the fire
Watching other children
looking at their smiles
Running to the heart beat
drumming on for miles
Searching for the water of life
Searching for the water of life

Did you remember me today?
