Lyrics~

I hear words from the mouth but your eyes speak for you
I've got word you're heading south but my heart says that could not be true 
It's a whole different world where you headin though, i know 
Is a coal mining law abiding slip you're dead dont hit head where you'll go, this much i know 


And it's a feisty alliance with ferocious defiance
It's a low place to go 
But you'll know when you know 
And i guess im coming with you
And i guess im coming with you

A seagull cry solemn sounds  
An eagle eye for foreign hands 
A song to be sung
For an innocent man hung

People pick you off ground
You face a fickle stubborn crowd
Alas the grass is green you're keen to step on land unseen untouched by souls sick n mean 
And you just wander where it's been 
All your life 
All your life 
It's a wander you're still alive 
It's a wanderous life 


Midsummer full moon

“Daouda was born as Tou Kone Daouda in Abidjan of Burkinabe parents and began his career as a TV technician. He was, however, also a talented amateur singer and guitarist whose big break came when he was overheard practising in a studio and was invited to record and appear on TV. 

In 1976 he released his first single 'Les gbakas d'Abidjan'. The public demanded more of this sweet soukous-inspired music and so he turned to music as a full-time career releasing his second single 'La villageons' in 1977. A gifted lyricist, Daouda introduced Ivorian audiences to his unique mixture of Soukous, Makossa and local rhythms and in 1978 he released the first version of 'Mon coeur balance'. Several more LPs followed in quick succession as Daouda established his national reputation. 

However his biggest breakthrough came in 1985 with the international release of a re-worked version of his first LP on the London-based Sterns label, 'Le Sentimental'. With the help of Souzy Kasseya, Alhadji Toure, Jimmy Hyacinthe and Jimmy & Fredo (one of Africa's hottest horn sections), the album was an instant hit in the francophone world.”
