Lyrics
[Intro: Esperanza Spalding] L'eau Terre Feu Air [Verse 1: Esperanza Spalding] Coeur de l'eu Coeur de terre Ils s'étouffent dans votre papier cadeau I cut the bow and remember Vous n'avez jamais eu la liberté de donner C'est dans l'esprit de la terre Ce qui n'a pas de prix N'a pas de prix [Pre-Chorus: Esperanza Spalding] Tout est durci maintenant Qui peut meme encore pleurer We got a long way left to burn But it's easier when you know water is alive in Nous sommes reveillés maintenant It's love alive Une cuisse a la porte Et l'arbre de vie El l'œuf cosmique Et le sang de la terre [Chorus: Esperanza Spalding] Se souvenir Se souvenir While we speak the English Se souvenir While we speak the French Se souvenir While we speak the Spanish Se souvenir And bargain with the vendors Se souvenir Not to sell our souls Se souvenir In between, remember how to speak Out of my mouth before I had to say Nobody ever wants to sit there one day [Verse 2: Esperanza Spalding] Je me suis souvenu Toutes les couleurs du ciel Et c'est dans le cœur de mon ventre [Pre-Chorus: Esperanza Spalding] Tout à coup, c'est maintenant Qu'il peut même encore pleurer We got a long way left to go, but it's easier when you know whatever's alive in you Nous sommes réveillés Oh love alive (Maintenant et puis en avant) Et l'arbre de vie Et L'œuf cosmique Et le sang de la Terre [Bridge: Q-Tip] Sometimes in life when you go too far The truth will bring you to who you are Sometimes in life when you go too far The truth will bring you to who you are Sometimes in life when you go too far The truth will bring you to who you are Sometimes in life when you go too far The truth will bring you to who you are [Verse 3: Q-Tip] Life can bring you down when you're living in it These circles and cycles go round though you even spin it But you stoppin it when your shoulder is a reminder To not run yourself in the ground, to yourself be kinder Sometimes I got real cast by truth even in the rear view Driving aimlessly around with nowhere to stay to She ain't the should be them, the vibes like an abstract poet If somebody ask who you are, well, you better know it, better know it, better know it [Chorus: Esperanza Spalding] Se souvenir Se souvenir While we speak the English Se souvenir While we speak the French Se souvenir While we speak the Spanish Se souvenir While we ah Se souvenir And bargain with the vendors Not to sell our souls In between, remember how to speak L'eau How we speak Air How she speaks Out of my mouth before I had to say Nobody ever asked us if we wanted it Ah Air To remember after all their sage disaster are done Se souvenir Se souvenir Se souvenir How to cry How to ground How to burn How to breath Se souvenir To remember after all their sage disaster are won [Outro] How to ground How to burn How to breath Se souvenir L'arbre de vie L'œuf cosmique Et le sang de la terre Se souvenir L'arbre de vie L'œuf cosmique Et le sang de la terre We got a lot left to unlearn But it's easier when you know water's alive in you It's alive L'arbre de vie L'œuf cosmique Et le sang Coeur de l'eau Coeur de terre Se souvenir
