Arabic Wisdom Verse 1 I was born in a country Of white men I’ve been taught in the far East Where live the Savage Verse 2 Lucky you are To live in a Democracy Here we cherish Liberty, Equality and Fraternity Chorus So I took refuge In the words of Kabir, Rumi, Shirdi Saï Baba An arabic wisdom

No 2 Racism 05:03
No 2 Racism Verse 1 I’ve got the right To say « No » If you want me to go I will let U know I will never, ever Bow Chorus I say no 2 racism I say no 2 fascism Just say No 2 racism Just say No 2 fascism Verse 2 Too many questions And still no revolution I hold my breath Could U take off your weight Chorus

One Day 05:22
One Day Verse 1 I was dreaming of a revolution without blood I was wondering is there a solution Before the next flood Burning from the inside out of frustation in this neigbhourhood They will bring you even more destruction While they sell you Holywood Chorus Fear not my Brother One day they will Feel the fever of the weather Fear not my Sister One day they will Feel the wrath of my Father Verse 2 Now here they come to take your freedom Do not let it be We will stick together we will be fearsome Do not live on your knee The neswpapers are their voices to sell us their poison Oh! Can’t you see I threw away my home my car my television Just to live by the sea Chorus

Velvet Coat 04:22
Velvet Coat Verse 1 You’re always on the run Livin’in a fast lane Burning with desires You just can’t get enough The city feels so small As you walk through the mall The more you possess The emptier you feel Chorus You never know When she is supposed to come With her velvet coat She does not care of stardom Verse 2 You should have let it go But you prefer to roam From New York to Tokyo All roads lead to Rome As Time passes by You did not realize The mirror never lies Your face with all these lines Chorus You never know When she is supposed to come With her velvet coat She does not care of stardom

The Seeker Huuuuuhhhhh !!! Verse 1 I was on my own Trying to get home again I follow the stars Thinking about the pain So I asked the lady Could you tell me my fate She said don’t you worry We are all the same Chorus I am a seeker You call me a dreamer I am a seeker I ain’t no, no doer Verse 2 I was all alone Searching a way back home in vain Heard about a sage Living on a hill Went to pay my respect To the airport I checked I found an empty cave Turned into a shrine Chorus I am a seeker You call me a dreamer I am a seeker I ain’t no, no doer Verse 3 I was in the unknown Wandering it’s just insane Through the corridor I could not see the end When I saw the light Sure I discover a path Everything is clear It’s such a relief Chorus I am a seeker You call me a dreamer I am a seeker I ain’t no, no doer I am a seeker You call me a dreamer
