Alpha Blondy is an African legend who has been churning out hit after hit over a career that has spanned many decades. "Wish You Were Here" is a hit anyone who prefers any genre would love. Have a listen...
"So,
So you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Can you tell a green field
Blue skies from pain
A smile from a veil?
From a cold steel rail?
Did they get you to trade
Do you think you can tell?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
A walk on part in the war
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
For a lead role in a cage?
Swimming in a fish bowl,
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
The same old fears Wish you were here..."
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
