Where does it start?

 

By Baba Galleh Jallow

 

Where does it start

Where does it end

This song that tells a story

That does not start

That has no end

Where does it start

This song that fills the air?

 

Where does it start

Where does it end

This song that tugs so hard

At the rope of life

That does not break

That cannot tie

Where does it start

This song that will not stop?

 

Where does it start

Where does it end

This song that pulls the strings

Of that lonely heart

Living in the crowds

Where does it start

This song with so many whys?

 

Where does it start

Where does it end

This song that flies so fast

That has no wings

Where does it start

This song that moves the head?
