“Ubuntu” is a song about how we are all connected on a very deep level and aims to help everyone see the essential oneness of humanity and the oneness of life.
Lyrics:
[Awu]
Ohh yeah, ohh yeah, I don’t know why, why, why,
I do unto you what you do to me,
And that’s the philosophy we have, hey,
All the suffering, and all the misery,
From so many wars, and discrimination, political greed,
An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth,
We spill the blood of innocent, make homeless children become runaways,
But you should see what a lovely thing, it’ll be forever remain,
Every race and religion come together forever, to know that,
You are, cuz someone, is somewhere, far away,
And we are, cuz you are, somewhere, across the ocean,
[Chorus – Awu]
Every nation all over the world,
Is like many boats on one river of life,
Every nation all over the world,
Is like many boats on one river of life,
And we’ve only got, one word: Ubuntu,
And we’ve only got, one word: Ubuntu,
[Colby]
Check it, yo,
Ubuntu, it’s from the motherland of Africa,
The essence of the word means that I am one with yuh,
Yeah I am one with you, soy uno con tu,
En français je suis un avec vous,
And you are one with me, we share an ancestry,
We’re from one family, it’s called humanity,
We all feel pleasure, we all feel pain,
We all got hearts, we all got brains,
We all are connected, and no we can’t neglect it,
When someone in the world is hurt, everyone’s affected,
So let’s to follow this ancient philosophy,
No more saying they or them, it is only us and we,
Cuz him and her are like you and me,
It don’t matter your color or nationality,
Don’t matter where you’re from, or if you’re old or young
Ubuntu, it means that we’re all one,
[Awu]
This life that you see is a mystery,
No man born of a woman would say can stand alone, and,
All the trees, all the grass, all the animals you see,
Has a little connection to everyone of we,
Wherever you are, whoever you are, remember day by day,
To keep the fire of love burning, burning, burning, burning,
You know I’ve got you, and you got me,
So you are, cuz someone, is somewhere, far away,
And we are, cuz you are, somewhere, across the ocean,
[Chorus – Awu]
Every nation all over the world,
Is like many boats on one river of life,
Every nation all over the world,
Is like many boats on one river of life,
And we’ve only got, one word: Ubuntu (x5)
