[Tony Allen]
Cosmosis
[Verse 1: Ben Okri]
Let’s talk about the science
Of how things break
How the heart breaks
How the age founders, shatters
With no one listening
How the mind quakes
How we lose all that matters
Oh, the music of the bones
Music of seige and white stones
Let’s talk about the art
Of how things break
Things that were hard to make
Things like peace, and love, and mead
How the nations shape
How the good is lost to the fake
Oh, brief change by osmosis
Change and the music of Cosmosis
But Sufis sing about
The music of how things turn
Things the other ones want to bury or burn
Things like unity, friendship, relativity
Things that when dead, we'll mourn
How the music runs in this stream
How can we in these troubled times dream?
