Ancient One

Mumma taught me to be strong
My father ran away once he was done
But I was alright, still dancing in love
Growing was a scary fight
Yeah, the pressure of society ain't light
And when I tried to go
See, life grabbed my ears and said, "Boy listen"

Don't you know that you're a lion?
Don't you know you're from the kingdom of the stars?
Been this way before the dinosaurs
Yes, it's all in everyone
Such a pretty young flower
Open up and let your petals face the sun
Once you blossom, you can share the love
Because you are the ancient one

Ah, it's all in us
This is the truth I been searching for
Ah, it's all in us
It's time to come back home
We been around the world fighting
And we no longer can deny it
Let them say, ooh-ooh-aay
Celebrate
Your African
I can feel it now

Warriors - that's who we are
But we don't fight for power
No, we fight for love
Hear the animals around us
When we listen, they will ground us
To get higher
Sing for my brothers

Don't you know that we're lions?
Don't you know we're from the kingdom of the stars?
Been this way before the dinosaurs
Yes, it's all in everyone
Such a pretty young flower
Open up and let your petals face the sun
Once you blossom, you can share the love
Because you are the ancient one

Ah, it's all in us
This is the truth I been searching for
Ah, it's all in us
It's time to come back home
We been around the world fighting
And we no longer can deny it
Let them say, ooh-ooh-aay
Celebrate

Hey, Keiy
There's so much history
With you, I'll find the rest of me
There's beauty in this mystery
Leaving the motherland
Lost in another land
But the truth never ran anywhere
It was deep in my veins, it was there
