Lhasa de Sela featuring Ibrahim Maalouf
Dm
I live in this country now
I'm called by this name
I speak this language
It's not quite the same
Gm
For no other reason
Than this it's my home
And the places I used to be
Far from are gone
Dm
You've traveled this long
You just have to go on
Don't even look back to see
How far you've come
Gm
Though your body is bending
Under the load
There is nowhere to stop
Anywhere on this road
Dm
My heart is breaking
I cannot sleep
I love a man
Who's afraid of me
Gm
He believes if he doesn't
Stand guard with a knife
I'll make him my slave
For the rest of his life
Dm
I love this hour
When the tide is just turning
There will be an end
To the longing and yearning
Gm
If I can stand up
To angels and men
I'll never get swallowed
In darkness again
Dm
You've traveled this long
You just have to go on
Don't even look back to see
How far you've come
Gm
Though your body is bending
Under the load
There is nowhere to stop
Anywhere on this road
