CONDOLENCE
By Benjamin Clementine
I swear, that you’ve seen me
Yes, you’ve seen me here before, before
And so don’t you dare tell it,
Don't you dare tell it otherwise.
This voice, this particular voice
Yes, you’ve heard it before, before
And so don’t you dare tell it
Don’t you dare tell it otherwise.
No wonder, why the road seems so long
'Cause I had done it all before
And I won!
This feeling that you're feeling, tell me, don’t be ashamed,
You felt it before, before
And so don’t you dare tell it
Don’t you dare tell it otherwise.
I almost forgot, foolish me, I almost forgot, forgot
That where I am from, we see the rain
Before the rain even starts to rain.
No wonder why you've been bothering me
This walk, it's a previous journey
And I won!
Uhmmmm...
Oh, no wonder why the road seems so long
'Cause I had done it all before
And no wonder why the road seems so long
'Cause you had done it all before
And you won!
Before I was born there was a storm
Before that storm there was fire
Burning everywhere, everywhere
And everything became nothing again
And out of nothing,
Out of absolutely nothing, you, you were born, you were born
So that when you become someone one day
You will always remember that you came from nothing.
No wonder why they are bothering you
This walk, it's a previous journey
And no wonder why you've been bothering you
This walk, it's a previous journey
And you won!
I’m sending my condolence
Send your condolence to fear
Just send your condolence
Send your condolence to insecurity.
They should know by now
They should know by now
That we just don’t care
For what they might say
Will only bring someone downhill.
And I’m sending my condolence
I’m sending my condolence to fear
I’m sending my condolence
I’m sending my condolence to insecurity.

A Note From The Gull
We are sending our condolences to fear and insecurity.
"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.
Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.
Mweh ka allay!
