India's Song Lyrics - India Arie

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm 

Too much hypocrisy in this old southern town for me 

Way back in 1619 began this tragic story 

Thrown into slavery then crime was the color of skin 

Never to see the light of the past again 

I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song 

I wanna go where the rivers run deep enough to drown my shame 

I wanna go where the stars shine bright enough to show me the way 

I wanna go where the wind calls my name 

Wind is calling India, India, India 

It's a typical Savannah day so I take my guitar to the park and I play 

Sitting up under the live oak tree, the strangest feeling came over me 

Is this the tree where my brother was hung? 

Is this the ground where his body was burnt? 

God gave to me the gift of song so I dedicate this one

I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song 

I wanna go where the rivers run deep enough to drown my shame 

I wanna go where the stars shine bright enough to show me the way 

I wanna go, where the wind calls my name India, India, India 

Superiority, who have you better than me 

Wasting precious time on racist mentality 

This is only the beginning 

Because we'll be pushing up daisies in the ending 

Spirit knows no color, either you're a hater or a lover 

I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song 

I wanna go where the rivers run deep enough to drown my shame 

I wanna go where the stars shine bright enough to show me the way 

I wanna go, where the wind calls my name India, India, India
