Baba Lyrics


I've seen them kneel with baited breath for their rituals
I've watched this experience raise them to pseudo higher levels
I've watched them leave their families in pursuit of your nirvana
I've seen them coming to line up from Switzerland and AmericaHow long will this take, baba?
How long have we been sleeping?
Do you see me hanging onto every word you say?How soon will I be holy?
How much will this cost, guru?
How much longer till you completely absolve me?I've seen them give their drugs up in place of makeshift altars
I've heard them chanting, Kali Kali frantically
I've heard them rotely repeat your teachings with elitism
I've seen them boasting robes and foreign sandalwood beadsHow long will this take, baba?
How long have we been sleeping?
Do you see me hanging onto every word you say?How soon will I be holy?
How much will this cost, guru?
How much longer till you completely absolve me?I've seen men overlooking God in their own essence
I've seen their upward glances in hopes of instant salvation
I've seen their righteousness mixed without loving compassion
I've watched you smile as the students bow to kiss your feetHow long will this take, baba?

How long have we been sleeping?
Do you see me hanging onto every word you say?How soon will I be holy?
How much will this cost, guru?
How much longer till you completely absolve me?Give me strength all knowing one
How long 'til enlightenment?
How much longer 'til you completely absolve me?[Incomprehensible]

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Balla Tounkara, a traditional griot from Mali, learned the Kora in the manner of his ancestors, from his father. Needless to say that Balla is also a virtuoso at the complex instrument. Like his ancestors, Balla plays the Mande repertoire; in addition, he incorporates other west African musical sensibilities and tradition as well as world sounds, Afro-Cuban. Balla moved to Boston a little over 10 years ago where he has graced many a stage from weddings, naming ceremonies in the manner of his ancestors, but also international venues.
