Sounds of Africa
Jewel jewel of the Nile
I have waited
For the sun to shine
As I hear
The sounds of Africa
Her story flows
To my mind
To my mind
I look for miles
All around
Fields of bodies
Without a sound
Every step I take
I feel their flesh
Drown
By the African sun
Lead me to
The Ivory Coast
To white towers
Scraping the sky
Where captive
Known captivity
Lost
In the sound
Of their cry
I’ll see you
Anytime from now
Jewel jewel
I’ll see you
Anytime from now
Sounds of Africa
Jewel jewel of the Nile
I have waited
For the sun to shine
As I hear
The sounds of Africa
Her story flows
To my mind
To my mind
Foreign sails
The African sky
Lusting for more
Flesh to sale
Gold exchanged hands
As pain did cry
Who will stop
This terror of lies
I free I free Africa
I free I free Africa
Jewel jewel of the Nile
I have waited
For the sun to shine
As I hear
The sounds of Africa
Her story flows
To my mind
To my mind
Millions refuge
From the lies
In the warmth
Of the Western waves
Still they cry
As the sun
Slowly drown
Remember me
African sound
– Ephraim Hylton

People of the World
Power! Come on babe
Don’t you know
It’s in your hands in your hands
People of the world
Power!
It’s in your hands
All you people in poverty
All your Love in misery
Turn around encompass me
You could be what you wanna be
People of the world
Power!
It’s in your hands
Sun may not always shine
When you spinning
on a dime
Just keep singing
And you will find
Love will come
Just in time
What do you mean
You giving up
What do you mean
You can’t believe
Get up your body
And dance and dance
I show you up
People of the world
Power!
It’s in your hands
Do you know
Where you going
Love’s in you
Light is showing
Spread it out
Through the world
Sing it sweetly
As a bird
– Ephraim Hylton
Reds and Blues (audio)
Reds and Blues
Reds and Blues
and true spies
bare feet
back against
crooked skies
and frozen seas
little hearts
playing with
no heart
staring unseen
twittle toes
giant woes
lions won’t step
aside
lied to…desired to
walk on water
to the other floors
Red
A to Z
Zed
the New Start
the art
of peace
and failure
of war
Blue
no respecter
of privilege
or persons
all things
considered
Equal
in the eyes
of the Infinite
– Ephraim Hylton
