Ancient One - Keiynan Lonsdale

Mumma taught me to be strong

My father ran away once he was done

But I was alright

Still dancing in love

And growing was a scary fight

Yeah the pressure of society ain’t light

And when I tried to go

See life grabbed my ears and said

Boy listen

Don’t you know that you’re a lion

Don’t you know you’re from the kingdom of the stars

Been this way before the dinosaurs

See yes it’s all in everyone

Such a pretty young flower

Open up and let your petals face the sun

Once you blossom you can share the love

Because you are the ancient one

Ah it’s all in us

This is the truth I been searching for

Ah it’s all in us

It’s time to come back home

We been around the world fighting

And we no longer can deny it

Let them say

Celebrate

Your African

I can feel it now

Warriors that’s who we are

But we don’t fight for power

No we fight for love

Hear the animals around us

When we listen they will ground us

To get higher

Sing for my brothers

Don’t you know that we are lions

Don’t you know we’re from the kingdom of the stars

Been this way before the dinosaurs

See yes it’s all in everyone

Such a pretty young flower

Open up and let your petals face the sun

Once you blossom you can share the love

Because you are the ancient one

Ah it’s all in us

This is the truth I been searching for

It’s time to come back home

We been around the world fighting

And we no longer can deny it

Let them say

Celebrate

Hey Keiy

There’s so much history

With you I’ll find the rest of me

There’s beauty in this mystery

Leaving the motherland (Ooh la la, ooh la la, ooh la la)

Lost in another land

But the truth never ran anywhere

It was deep in my veins it was there
