Testo di 'The Pilgrim' di Nitin Sawhney

Woke up in the morning in a temple
Kinda lucky on my feet for it was central
So I walk across the village
Saw a group of kids pillage
And I thought to myself I might be ment to
You see
Pilgrims in the town
All seem to hold a frown
Say all they wanna be is diggy down
You know Speck thought he'd ask
But figured it's just a mask
Tthis guy's on something else that's profound

I'm not the stool or the fool or the leader here to rule
Not the lover or the fighter who came here to duel
But I thought I looked into, but I walked into
So I can understand all the rules, cool?

Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that

Who's ever watched the world that's my motto
Don't ever wanna play the head honcho dig but huh
If you try to push I won't beat around the bush
Straight up you're getting dissed on the pronto.

Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that

If I could, I'd solve the problems of the world that exist
If I could always chill, I would without resist
If you weren't so litteral, brother you might get it
Pack my bags, tambourines, and jeans so don't sweat it

Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that

Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that

Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet.

As the journey continues I gain current instincts
I feel I know what they must be thinking, for instance
When they speak in riddles I'm left with the question
But won't stop arguments to kill attention
They all got a sixth sense to be one another
So pilgrims seek refuge undercover
Where it's fly like birds to live a lot is absurd
Try telling that to this kid named Unver

Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that

Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that

I met him on tour a week on for twenty four
He was born in the village, but left in ninety four
Now he's still got probs he doesn't know how to solve
I said, "Unver, I've been there before"
In the light of understanding I forgot it
Sometimes the boat shakes when you rock it
I told him we are like family, a part of humanity
Don't overdo, and don't toss it.

Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that

Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that

He dug and moved on with his life
'Cause he digs it gets real dark at night
Don't want a collar that's blue or a reflection of you
Just wants us to get his plight
Myself I'd like the years just to take me away
It might leave a part of this world in dismay
But the village calls the pilgriming negroes
After all I'm just one needle in the hay
Now what I'm speaking in is symbolics
But you can call it what you want to call it
See all that I do is throw words, and I hope that you caught it
Only got one arrow but I aim for two targets

Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that

Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
Might take a village ever long to see that
Don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
And the kid you wanna be you can be that
You can be that, you can be that
