[Song title: Chief Stting Bull meets Sheikh Austin Rocker] [Male Voice: guttural] [Verse 1] I walk this red dirt slow Smoke in my coat, still warm Grandma said, keep going She’s the earth under my boots I hear the drum in my chest I see you holding still Your eyes don’t ask for much Just say you might, you will [melodic male voice solo interlude, hypnotic] [Pre-Chorus] [distant female chant, long reverb] The road bends hard tonight But I know where it leads My hand shakes when you reach And Grandma holds the ground in me [Chorus] Aya, aya, stay with me Aya, aya, stay with me Hold me close, don’t let go Aya, aya, stay with me Aya, aya, قلبي Aya, aya, stay with me I’m not strong the way I look Aya, aya, stay with me [Verse 2] Kettle hissing by the camper door Dust on the dash, cracked windshield glare Semi lights slide past the window frame And we keep our voices low The diner sign buzzes up the block Your laugh cuts through the screen-door creak We pass the cup, the bread, the salt And Grandma’s hands are in the heat [Pre-Chorus] [distant female chant long cathredral reverb] The road bends hard tonight But I know where it leads My hand shakes when you reach And Grandma holds the ground in me [Chorus - mixed chants, strong compression] Aya, aya, stay with me Aya, aya, stay with me Hold me close, don’t let go Aya, aya, stay with me Aya, aya, قلبي Aya, aya, stay with me I’m not strong the way I look Aya, aya, stay with me [Bridge] Keep your hand on mine Say nothing, if you want Let the room go quiet I’m here [Chorus] Aya, aya, stay with me Aya, aya, stay with me Hold me close, don’t let go Aya, aya, stay with me Aya, aya, قلبي Aya, aya, stay with me I’m not strong the way I look Aya, aya, stay with me
