Walking on Gravel

Mutabaruka

Hey hey hey hey, oh
Hey hey hey hey, oh

Walkin' on gravel in this time
Tryin' to separate this confusion and crime
Ideologies philosophies tryin' to save my day
Walkin' on gravel things stay same way

Hey hey hey hey, oh

So I take a trip to a foreign lan'
Hopin' they might just have a plan
They had a plan.. no solution.. more confusion

They were walkin' on gravel just like me
Everyone’s tryin’ to be free
Walkin' on gravel just like me
Everyonе’s tryin’ to be free

Oh oh oh oh, oh

Lookin' on the childhood I once knеw
Wonderin' why my dreams never came true
Thinkin' on the good things when I die
Tryin' to get my piece of the pie
But I was..

Walkin' on gravel in those times
Politicians and priests they’re commitin' more crimes
Walkin' on gravel in those times
Politicians and priests they’re commitin' more crimes

Hey hey hey hey, oh

So I walk this road hopin' to find
What is this confusion in my time?
The quest to know when where and why
The quest to separate truth from lie
Frustration disillusion cover my track
But this is no time for turnin' back
With my bare feet on the ground
Walkin' on gravel I know where I’m bound

So I take a look, what do I see?
Rich and poor in agony
Waitin' on that Judgement day
Hopin' there will be a delay

Walkin' on gravel, road is long
Walkin', walkin’ you’ll have to be strong
Walkin' on gravel the road is long
Walkin', walkin' you’ll have to be strong

Oh

So I walk the road round and around
Always returnin' to the same ground
Three hundred and sixty degrees.. if you please
The road has neither start nor end
Neither points not even a bend
So I stopped to look in the great book
Now you may ask what did I see
But it was the solution to this mystery
After goin' round and around all this time
I found that the confusion was in my mind

This mystery is there you can see
(Walkin' on gravel just like me)
The truth lives within' you and me
(Everyone’s tryin’ to be free)

This mystery is there you can see
(Ideologies philosophies tryin' to save my day)
The truth lives within' you and me
(Walkin' on gravel things stay same way)

Walkin' on gravel just like me
Everyone’s tryin’ to be free
Ideologies philosophies tryin' to save my day
Walkin' on gravel things stay same way
