[Verse 1] Lalla yemma, open the door I came with dust on my name Feet on the floor, heart in the fire I bring my pain to your flame Salt on my tongue, sand in my skin I walked all night for this prayer Kiss of the drum, ring of the iron Wake me up from everywhere [Pre-Chorus] Sidi, hear me now Pull me from the dark One breath, one step Strike that hidden spark [Chorus] Awa, awa Take my hand Awa, awa Shake the sand Awa, awa Call my soul Awa, awa Make me whole [Verse 2] Seven blue beads on my wrist One for the grief I still hold I fed the road with my tired shoes Now let your mercy unfold The kettle sings in the neighbor yard The night leans close to the wall I know your name in the thunder clap I hear you in every call [Pre-Chorus] Sidi, hear me now Pull me from the dark One breath, one step Strike that hidden spark [Chorus] Awa, awa Take my hand Awa, awa Shake the sand Awa, awa Call my soul Awa, awa Make me whole [Bridge] Ya Baba, I bend Ya Lalla, I rise This weight in my chest Turns to light in my eyes [Chorus] Awa, awa Take my hand Awa, awa Shake the sand Awa, awa Call my soul Awa, awa Make me whole
