Ulu Vei Zoo in My Mind

I still can see the gates at dusk;

The lantern lights that hung the rocks;

Your name was strange, but warm as rain;

Oluwezu still calls again;

Every step possessed in gold;

Every breath that night I hold;

Though years have passed and roads grew new;

I always circle back to you;

Uluwezu, you live in me;

Like a hidden shore inside the sea;

No map can keep what time won't move;

A curse my heart still runs to;

Oh, Lupezo, you'll never fade;

In every dream I've ever made;

The cage is quiet, the silver sky;

The distant birds, the firefly;

We laugh beneath the turning moon;

And wish the night would never bloom;

Every stone remembers sound;

Every shadow on the ground;

Though I've changed and walked on through;

My thoughts still lead me back to you;

You live in me like a hidden shore inside the sea;

No man can keep what time won't move;

A place my heart still rushes to;

Oh, Louise, you'll never fade;

In every dream I ever made;

If I am old and miles apart,

I'll still return inside my heart;

To every light, to every view;

To that forever of the few;

Uluwezo, you live in me;

Like a hidden shore inside the sea;

No man can keep what time won't do;

A place my heart still runs to;

Oh, low basil, you'll never fade;

In every dream I've ever made;

So let the seasons drift and spin;

That memory will keep me in;

Oh, low basil, I won't let go;

I won't let go;

I won't let go;

I won't let go;

I won't let go;
