Hero
(Michael Kiwanuka)

(2019)

La bellissima canzone che chiude l'album KIWANUKA del 2019

Forse non esplicita nelle parole, ma accompagnata da un video che la ricollega all'orgoglio nero e al movimento Black Lives Matter.

“The way so much of the world has been designed has often caused me and so many other Black people psychological damage,” Kiwanuka says. “We so often hear that we are lesser than because we are Black. We are a label, a token, a statistic, and we can be dehumanized. I’ve spoken about it in my music but I wanted to declare in words that I’m so proud to be Black. We are so beautiful and have such a wonderful history of strength, overcoming, talent, innovation, creativity, invention and love.”

Michael Kiwanuka's "Light" video celebrates Black life and power - WXPN

We're miles apart
But safe from dreams
You're running from
Beyond the dawn
We'll always need
One of their own
To lead

(Shine your light over me)
Shine your light over me
(All of my fears are gone)
All of my fears are gone, baby, gone, gone
(And it don't bother me)
And it don't bother me, don't bother me, no
(If it's not meant to be)

Too far to run
Fall on your knees
To find a love
You're light to me
My only sun
You'll always shine
For me

(Shine your light over me)
Shine your light over me
(All of my fears are gone)
All of my fears are gone, baby, gone, gone
(And it don't bother me)
Don't bother me, don't bother me, no
If it's not meant to be
(Shine your light over me)
Shine your light over me
(All of my fears are gone)
All of my fears are gone, baby, gone, gone
(And it don't bother me)
It don't bother me, don't bother me, no
If it's not meant to be

I had to lose to understand
Strung out from all this
Pour out a thousand tears
I never knew a kinder man

A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
