International music paired with Sampha’s vocals picture the story of a mother (Kora) weeping over her child. It is upbeat and relaxing while deep and contemplative.
Sisay is of English and African descent, and a Kora is a 21-string West African lute/harp
The ending is the sound of rain and a storm....
[Intro]
There's no one here for miles
It's just me in the burning sun
It's just me, myself and my gun
Remembering the times
Oh, grapes on the vines
But with family, I
I don't have the time
The time to be questioning life
You just gotta be there
[Verse 1]
A mother needs her sons
Oh, she needs them near
Oh, we don't have to talk
I just need you here
But if you go away
Please don't disappear
The heat is making light
Of a heavy year
[Chorus]
I really hope there's rainfall
My hands together looking at the stars
I really hope there's angels
Because the world is turning, turning way too fast
She says she can't turn tables
Well, I say you don't know how wrong you are
Or just how strong you are
You don't know how strong you are
[Verse 2]
A pillow on your face soaking up those tears
Who's anyone to say you should have no fear?
A mouth full of smoke really made things clear
You've been with me since the cradle
You've been with me, you're my angel
Please, don't you disappear
[Outro]
It's just me in the burning sun
It's just me, myself and my gun
Remembering the times
