Description
[Intro]
Baba run for me, Baba left me lost,
running on for me, because of war.
(Per drum: chop, chop — hold the light)
[Verse 1]
Night breaks on the tin roofs, dust in the lane,
Baba tied his scarf, stepped out in the rain.
His footprints fade where the mango roots bend,
He said, "Keep the fire," then he turned to the wind.
The market smelled of smoke and the radio told lies,
We folded our prayers into small paper eyes.
I press my palm to the cold of the door —
Baba run for me, Baba left me lost.
[Pre-Chorus]
Short breath, quick step — the rhythm in the chest,
We learn to count the stars when the village won't rest.
Hold the line, hold the light — hum the one-note tune,
A small bright hook beneath the waiting moon.
[Chorus — Chant / Prayer / Defiance]
Me a war war, me a war war, me, because of war, me a war war.
Me a war war, me a war war, me, because of war, me a war war.
(chant) Me a war, war — standing because of war,
Me a war, war — still I run, still I roar.
[Verse 2]
Lantern on his hip, Uncle cuts across the canal,
His shadow skims the water, steady as a mallet's fall.
He moves through alleys with rubber boots and grit,
A stitch in his jacket, a promise knit.
Uncle run for me, he won't let me down,
He carries warm bread, he carries home-town sound.
He won’t let me down — war made him strong,
He runs to save us, his heartbeat keeps the song.
[Pre-Chorus — Rhythmic]
Tap the bell, clap the hand — short phrases fall like rain,
We sing in corners, keep the names out of the pain.
One line to hum, one line to hold: "Hold the light, hold the line,"
That spare line becomes the seed we hum when times ain't fine.
[Chorus — Chant / Call]
Me a war war, me a war war, me, because of war, me a war war.
Me a war war, me a war war, me, because of war, me a war war.
Call it prayer, call it claim — a steady, simple roar:
Me a war, war — still I stand, still I run for more.
[Bridge — Quiet, Call & Response]
(Quiet) Hear the children by the wall — small voices, salt and dust.
(Reply) "We keep the flame, we keep the trust."
(Quiet) Smoke and memory, this is the ledger of our names.
(Reply) "Baba, Uncle — we call you home through the flames."
[Breakdown — Percussive Hook]
Hold the light — hummm — hold the line — hummm.
(Short percussion) Hold the light — hum the hook, hum the hum.
[Final Chorus — Rising]
Me a war war, me a war war, me, because of war, me a war war.
Me a war war, me a war war, me, because of war, me a war war.
This is a chant, a vow — not to worship the fight,
But to name what we lose and to keep the small lights bright.
Me a war, war — standing because of war,
Me a war, war — still I run, still I roar.
[Outro]
Baba run for me — bring the dawn, bring the dawn.
Uncle run for me — lanterns braided on the lawn.
Me a war war, me a war war, me, because of war, me a war war.
(Soft) Hold the light. Hold the line. Hum the little tune — hum on.
