rachel - dawud wharnsby ali lyrics

[verse 1]
first time i saw rachel, i looked deep into her eyes
my reflection there was a gaping stare
as i watched her laugh in that photograph
and time between us lost somewhere
first time i saw rachel, i began to realize
she possessed such grace in her youthful face
sweet integrity that woke a void in me
now her passion breathes within that sp*ce

[chorus]
it has nothing to do with age
it’s not our languages, religion, gender, colour of our skin
it’s a soul within a well that еchoes deep beneath thе ego’s sh*ll
true life can’t ever start ’til we offer up our heart
as the wolves l!ck their t**th at the sheep in rows
i want to live the life that rachel chose

[verse 2]
all the girls and boys, seen preening through school halls
fighting to fit in, games we just can’t win
higher education dumbing down a nation
’round the square, unsure of where we fit in

[chorus]
it has nothing to do with age
it’s not our languages, religion, gender, colour of our skin
it’s a soul within a well that echoes deep beneath the ego’s sh*ll
true life can’t ever start ’til we offer up our heart
when the wolves rip the fleece from the sheep – god knows
i want to live the life that rachel chose
[verse 3]
rachel, what so pushed you, to put so much on hold?
from a school*hall door to a need for more?
from where we all stayed, to where you last laid
silently strong in the choices you made

[instrumental outro]
