   Letra

   "Hello, oh yeah, I'm glad to see you, glad to see you. They tell me it's a full house, it's full. This is a good time to introduce you to the heart beat of our organization, and the pulse of everything that we do: it centers around the drums and of course if you think about that really seriously, you know that your entire life is centered around your heart beat, and that's rhythm is it not. This song was eh... I was told to sing by Miriam Makeba, and she is my dear friend, and it is a prayer those of you who are fans of hers will remember this song." Westwind blow ye gentle Over the shores of yesterday My sun is brown and over Here within my heart they lay they lay Westwind with your wisdom Gather all the young for me Black cloud hanging over Nest your bosom strong and free Got each gallon water is plane Got each gallon water is plane Cos I am the soil from which they came I am the soil from which they came So Westwind with your splendor Take my people by the hand Spread your glory sunshine off And unify my promised land Unify us don't divide us unify us don't divide us Unify us don't divide us unify us don't divide us Unify us don't divide us unify us don't divide us Unify us don't divide us Westwind with your splendor Take my people by the hand Spread your glory sunshine out And unify my promised land Unify my promised land Unify my promised land

6. Assignment Sequence

   Letra

   The assignment the assignment okay Not too loud now not too loud The song is called the assignment Talks about the lover's gap Tha gap between lovers Especially in marriage and other forms Bouncing off your wall Tha pathways of my mind Are on their way Another way for today You want me to see you Baby I cannot see you You want me to come for you I cannot come for you Cos you want an assignment I see no concession Shall I hang my head with yours and be blue Send always laughter and fun Spend all my time thinking about you Don't you know there are things I can't do for you My mind is on it's way Another way for today My spirit is so foreign You want silence My spirit I'd taking flight now But baby you're in a mood And you wanna cry tonight now Shall I hang my head with yours and be blue That's what you want me to do Send away laughter and fun Spend my time crying Trying to please you Oh don't you know There are things I can't do for you My mind is on it's way Another way now for today
7. To Be Young, Gifted and Black

   Letra

   To be young, gifted and black, Oh what a lovely precious dream To be young, gifted and black, Open your heart to what I mean In the whole world you know There are billion boys and girls Who are young, gifted and black, And that's a fact! Young, gifted and black We must begin to tell our young There's a world waiting for you This is a quest that's just begun When you feel really low Yeah, there's a great truth you should know When you're young, gifted and black Your soul's intact Young, gifted and black How I long to know the truth There are times when I look back And I am haunted by my youth Oh but my joy of today Is that we can all be proud to say To be young, gifted and black Is where it's at
