Come join the circle and witness the magic
  Hear the voices
  Believe and imagine
  Hear the voices
  
  Come join the circle and feel the unspoken
  Hear the voices
  A spirit unbroken
  Hear the voices
  
  Just a simple storyteller
  Troubadour on call whenever
  The gods moved his heart to speech
  He was something of a hero
  To the conscience of the people
  To the children on the beach
  Son of Africa and legend
  Music made of pain and pleasure
  Brought the nation to its feet
  Every whisper sounds like thunder
  Everybody stares in wonder
  When the saints begin to speak
  He sings and then they speak
  
  Come join the circle and witness the magic
  Hear the voices
  Believe and imagine
  Hear the voices
  
  Come join the circle and feel the unspoken
  Hear the voices
  A spirit unbroken
  Hear the voices
  
  He was sentenced into exile
  Far away from home but meanwhile
  Popularity increased
  Radio reversed his fortune
  He was welcomed with emotion
  A voice no one could defeat
  Now they crank up the Victrola
  In the corner bars and oh, my,
  How the ladies start to weep
  Every word describes their hunger
  Everybody stares in wonder
  When the saints begin to speak
  He sings and then they speak
