So sad I had to go 
(Kouyate) 

A total stranger came between us 
Until it's safe no-one will know 
(Kouyate) 
There is a secret between us 

We must keep it to ourselves 
(Kouyate) 
All the love we shared between us 

We can't tell nobody else
(Kouyate) 
There is a secret between us 

1
Staring hard at my tv 
But that blue flicker doesn't comfort me 
It hurts so much 
The memory of her tender touch 
In my dreams I call 

A man-of-war on glory road 
A native girl whose tale was never told 
Now we must live a lie 
To point blank accusations I
Have denied it all 

I live for the day 
I live for the hour 
When I'm free to speak your name 
And reveal to the world - our secret 

2
Underneath that bowl of stars 
She lay me down to heal my battlescars 
She taught me love 
The one thing I knew nothing of 
And she made me see 

I had to leave that scattered place 
I kept the secret to avoid disgrace 
But there will come a time 
When I return to make her mine 
In a world so free 

I live for this day 
I live for this hour 
When I'm in your arms again, yeah 
And we both yield to love's power 

(bridge)
Be patient now we can't resist 
The racing storm of prejudice 

Hate ... has ... silenced ... love ...
We took the village by surprise 
No time to see the strangers hate filled eyes 
For this sad consequence 
They had no defense 
In the midst off all that pain 
I heard her call 
"Kouyate is my name 
Love conquers all"

Solo
I live for this day 
I live for this hour 
When I'm in your arms again 
And we both yield to love's power

So sad I had to go 
(Kouyate) 
With so much love to share between us 

Until it's safe no-one will know 
(Kouyate) 
There is a secret between us
