Wede Addis Ababa Songtext
von Daniel Lemma

And the road up ahead
Is the road to Addis Ababa
And we′re marching to the beat
Of a thousand hearts
And everybody's traveling
Wede Addis Ababa
For a brand-new start, a brand-new start

I can see the lights approaching
Like a giant snake aglow
I′m waiting by the road that leads
To the heartlands down below
To mix with the midnight travelers
Beneath a smiling moon
To tread on past the dawn
To soar at high-noon
Everybody's
Looking for something
Everybody's
Looking for something


Come on the wing of the amora
Come with songs of the land
We′re a motley band, we′re a caravan
Walking hand in hand

And the road up ahead
Is the road to Addis Ababa
And we're marching to the beat
Of a thousand hearts
And everybody′s traveling
Wede Addis Ababa
For a brand-new start, a brand-new start


You been a long time gone wondem
Tell me where, tell me what you seen
You came a long way round ihit
Following a dream
Abat, enat over the red clay hills
Never looking back
Agote stradling a donkey
Washint in a leather sack
Everybody's
Looking for something
They′re singing and they clap hands
Dancing bare-feet
Every end is a beginning
Every Now an eternity
Everybody's
Looking for something

I heard the voices rising in the night
From a chapel by the lake
The elders breaking bread
The children wide awake
And like these mountains shrouded in clouds
Our future can′t be told
But if we dream it together
We can make it up as we go

And the road up ahead
Is the road to Addis Ababa
And we're marching to the beat
Of a thousand hearts
And everybody's traveling
Wede Addis Ababa
For a brand-new start, a brand-new start

And so we come by an ancient movement
The exodus, the march
The strong pull of the center
There′s no holding back
You can feel the earth moving
The axis caving in
Something stirring underneath
A New Order ushering in

And the road up ahead
Is the road to Addis Ababa
And we′re marching to the beat
Of a thousand hearts
And everybody's traveling
Wede Addis Ababa
For a brand-new start, a brand-new start
