Paint me a picture of a river

and let it flow

just let it flow

it will flow and wash away our differences

and love will grow

You have the power to deliver

so let it flow

When I deep my hand into your water

I feel your soul

Nafikiria kurudi shamba

Nafikiria kurudi shamba

I'll do the fire by your river of metled stone

you can drink the silver of my moonlight

as our fire burns

the fire burns

I'll slide inside your slient water

like polished stone

then break the surface with a shiver

while the river flows

Nafikiria kurudi shamba

Nafikiria kurudi shamba

Paint me a picture of the river

and let it flow

let it flow

all across the deserts and the mountains

we'll let it go

let it go.

Nafikiria kurudi shamba

Nafikiria kurudi shamba

* Nafikiria kurudi shamba in swahili means "I am thinking of going back to the (farm)land".

Many thanks to akuraoo and MamboBado2010 who were so kind to give me the translation.

Since I don't speak swahili, these words were a mystery to me. Thanks again guys!

Dear World, the ancients believed that to break through a tough situation, people need to work together in harmony, as an alliance - to seek common ground on major issues while reserving differences on minor ones. What if that common ground is the pure goodness, greatness and genius within each of us? What will it take for humanity to change the way we feel about ourselves and others? Just imagine what would be possible in this magnificent world of ours... We can surely do it...

The phrase "Nafikiria kurudi shamba" was the title of a hit song recorded by Jamhuri Jazz Band of Tanzania in 1970. It is also on youtube.
