India Arie - India's Song Lyrics

Thrown into slavery the crime 
Was the color of skin 
Never to see the light of the past again 

I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song 
I wanna go where the rivers run deep enough to drown my shame 
I wanna go where the stars shine bright enough to show me the way 
And I wanna go where the wind calls my name 
The wind is calling India India India 

It's a typical Savannah day 
So I take my guitar to the park and I play 
Sitting up under the live oak tree 
The strangest feeling came over me 
Is this the tree where my borther was hung? 
Is this the ground where his body was burned? 
God gave to me the gift of song 
So I dedicate this one 

I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song 
I wanna go where the rivers run deep enough to drown my shame 
I wanna go where the stars shine bright enough to show me the way 
And I wanna go where the wind calls my name 
The wind is calling India India India  

Superiority, who have you better than me 
Wasting precious time on racist mentality 
This is only the beginning 
The flesh we'll be pushing up daisies in the end 
Cause spirit knows no color 
Either you're a hater or a lover 

I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song 
I wanna go where the rivers run deep enough to drown my shame 
I wanna go where the stars shine bright enough to show me the way 
And I wanna go where the wind calls my name 
The wind is calling India India India
