The Rhythm of the Saints

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
