🎶 [Verse 1] The stars were dim on the western swell, And the wind spoke low of a distant dell, But his thumbs danced light on the iron reeds, Singin’ songs the roots rememberin’ needs. 🎶 [Chorus — Call & Response] Call: Oh father, guide me home, Crew Response: To where the baobab shadows roam, Call: Through the salt and stormy foam, All: Echoes of the homeland—lead me home… 🎶 [Verse 2] He carved the box from a mango tree, In a time before the endless sea, And each sweet note he struck that night, Bloomed like fireflies in moonless light. 🎶 [Chorus] Call: Oh father, guide me home, Response: To where the lion’s children roam, Call: Through the tide and wind-blown loam, All: Echoes of the homeland—lead me home… 🎶 [Bridge — Spoken or Sung Gently, Kalimba Solo Underneath] “When the chains were iron, I sang through wood… When my name was taken, the music stood… The sea can swallow, the mast can fall… But my homeland echoes through it all…” 🎶 [Final Chorus — Slower, Haunting] Call: Oh father, guide me home… Response: To where the river spirits roam… Call: Let no sailor die alone… All: Echoes of the homeland—bring me home…
