We don’t have to go
the 360 degrees,
Now it’s time to go the 180

You don’t have to climb
The highest mountain
For all you’re looking for
Is within you

Open the eyes of your mind
Your ears and mouth
As I sing my song

Open the eyes of your mind
Your ears and mouth
As you hear my words o o o

Pa ra ra n pa n pa ra re
I’ll be waiting
I’ll be

We still live in yesterday
Many today they waste away
But never the less it’s never late o

See the times have changed
I thought you knew
That this world, will
Never ever wait for you

The world has gone past times of fighting
So drop your guns and your swords
And let us live all as one

ASA: Situation

Asa - Situation

There’s a situation
Everybody is speculating
They say “What have we done to deserve this constant changing”

[BRIDGE:]
Father, Father, Hear us
Those we trust have failed us
They say “look to the lord for salvation and he shall redeem you”

Lord I’m getting frustrated
As I’m losing my patience
I’ve been waiting for so long
How long will this go on for
Got my back against the wall
I’ve been waiting for so long

[CHORUS 2x:]
Cause this is
This is who we are
It’s our reality
It’s our reality, now

ASA: Eyo

Asa - Eyo

VERSE 1

Taxis waiting down on the streets so
Hurry up I have to go
Looking round you see all the people
Making faces very cold
Carry me away
Far from the circle that never breaks
Hey hey hey hey hey
Going home, going home
Where this road goes I already know
Where everybody cares for one another
And they take you as their sister

[CHORUS:]
Eyo o, eyo o
Eyo o, eyo o
Where the children run around
There’s laughing in the crowd
I hope it still remains the same
Eyo o, eyo o
Eyo o, eyo o
And there’s something in the song
That makes you feel at home
And that’s what’s calling out my name
Eyo o o, eyo o o.
