THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics : "Hear The Voices"

(Music by Gilberto Gil; Lyrics by Tracy Mann)
Come join the circle and witness the magic
Hear the voices

Believe and imagine
Hear the voices


Come join the circle and feel the unspoken
Hear the voices
A spirit unbroken

Hear the voices

Just a simple storyteller

Troubadour on call whenever
The gods moved his heart to speech
He was something of a hero

To the conscience of the people
To the children on the beach
Son of Africa and legend

Music made of pain and pleasure
Brought the nation to its feet
Every whisper sounds like thunder

Everybody stares in wonder
When the saints begin to speak
He sings and then they speak


Come join the circle and witness the magic
Hear the voices

Believe and imagine
Hear the voices


Come join the circle and feel the unspoken
Hear the voices
A spirit unbroken

Hear the voices

He was sentenced into exile

Far away from home but meanwhile
Popularity increased
Radio reversed his fortune

He was welcomed with emotion
A voice no one could defeat
Now they crank up the Victrola

In the corner bars and oh, my,
How the ladies start to weep
Every word describes their hunger

Everybody stares in wonder
When the saints begin to speak
He sings and then they speak
