India'Song
India Arie

Too much hypocrisy in this old southern town for me

Way back in 1619 began this tragic story

Thrown into slaveries den, the crime was the color of skin

Never to see the light of the past again


And I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song

I wanna go where the rivers run deep enough to drown my shame

I wanna go where the stars shine bright enough to show me the way

I wanna go where the wind calls my name


The wind is calling, “India, India, India”

It's a typical Savannah day

So I take my guitar to the park and I play

Sitting up under the live oak tree is the strangest feeling came over me


Is this the tree where my brother was hung?

Is this the ground where is body was brung?

God gave to me the gift of song

And so I dedicate this one


And I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song

I wanna go where the rivers run deep enough to drown my shame

I wanna go where the stars shine bright enough to show me the way

I wanna go where the wind calls my name, India, India, India


Superiority, who've you better than me

Wasting precious time on racist mentality

This is only the beginning

Your flesh will be pushing up daisies in the ending

Spirit knows no color, either you're a hater or a lover


And I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song

I wanna go where the rivers run deep enough to drown my shame

I wanna go where the stars shine bright enough to show me the way

I wanna go where the wind calls my name, India, India, India


I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song

I wanna go where the rivers run deep enough to drown my shame

I wanna go where the stars shine bright enough to show me the way

I wanna go, I wanna go where the wind calls my name

Wind is calling, “India, India, India”
