Old Souls of My Village

Verse 1

Morning sun on the red clay path

Fathers waking with a steady laugh

Mothers humming while the pots they stir

Every heartbeat is a heritage

We carry more than we can hold

Stories woven in the cloth of gold

Elders speak and the children lean

Waiting for the wonders that they've seen

Pre-Chorus

We are the old souls

We are the old souls

Chorus

Old souls in an African village

We sing it loud across the land

Old souls in my African village

Forever here with open hands

Post-Chorus

Old souls

Old souls

We are the old souls

Verse 2

Sun goes down and the fires glow

Tales of warriors from long ago

Eyes light up with a hopeful gleam

Chasing every chapter of the dream

Animals roam where the rivers run

Plenty flowing under burning sun

Cleansing body and cleansing mind

The happiest heart you'll ever find

Pre-Chorus

We are the old souls

We are the old souls

Chorus

Old souls in an African village

We sing it loud across the land

Old souls in my African village

Forever here with open hands

Bridge

Time can shift and seasons turn

But what we carry they can't burn

A past that never fades away

We are the ones who always stay

Chorus

Old souls in an African village

We sing it loud across the land

Old souls in my African village

Forever here with open hands

Outro

My Africa

My village

We are the old souls

Forever
