The Rhythm of the Saints
Lyrics
If I have weaknesses Don't let them blind me Or camouflage all I am wary of I could be sailing on seizures of laughter Or crawling out from under the heel of love Do my prayers remain unanswered Like a beggar at your sleeve? Olodumare is smiling in heaven Smiling in heaven, I do believe Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark To overcome an obstacle or an enemy To glide away from the razor or a knife To overcome an obstacle or an enemy To dominate the impossible in your life ♪ Always a stranger when strange isn't fashionable And fashion is rich people waving at the door Or it's a dealer in drugs or in passion Lies of a nature we've heard before Do my prayers remain unanswered Like a beggar at your sleeve? Babalu-aye spins on his crutches Says, "Leave if you want If you want to leave" Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark To overcome an obstacle or an enemy To glide away from the razor or a knife To overcome an obstacle or an enemy To dominate the impossible in your life Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark To overcome an obstacle or an enemy To dominate the impossible in your life Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark
