The Story of Accra lyrics
by Ute Lemper
[Verse]
After lion undiscovered for over seven hundred years
A manuscript, holding the answers to questions
About life and humanity, is on earth
Simple questions, about our lives
Torn between happiness and sorrow
Defined by hope and intelligence
And the desire to love
As much as the capacity to hate and destroy
Go and travel the world
(Go and travel the world)
(Bearing an invisible sword
(To frighten the devil of intolerance)
(And the lack of understanding)
(Try to carry that sword, as far as you legs will carry you)
(And as surely as you breathe in and you breathe out)
(With every step and every worth)
(I am a Poet, Farmer, Artist, Soldier, father, creator)
(Seller, Teacher, Politician, Saint)
(And someone who nearly takes care of home and children)
(So what am I looking for?)
(I'm looking for being able to go to bed each night)
(With my soul at peace)
And always choose to be bold
Worthy, we who rule in the [?]
